OWH Stars & Stamps Midweek Throwdown Halloween Challenge!

This is my card I created for the OWH Stars and Stamps Midweek Throwdown they wanted an Anniversary or Love themed card!

I loved making this card, as I got to use my new Martha Stewart "Doiley Lace" Border Punch for the first time. So cute! I am sure you will be seeing lots of it on my cards in the future!

I used up some Stickopotamus "Happy Anniversary" leftover stickers and some scrap paper too!

Card Patterns Weekly Sketch #78 Challenge

This week for the Card Patterns challenge I actually made 2 cards. I made the Scarecrow one first with the sketch turned on it's side, but I don't really like it. So, I tried again and made the Happy Anniversary version. I still don't like it, something is missing but I was able to make 3 like it for OWH.

On August 4th I promised you samples of my Use your Scraps Collage Card in a Halloween, Christmas and Anniversary theme.

Well, the Halloween will be posted with a challenge shortly but here are the Christmas:

and here is the Anniversary:

 These cards are soooo fast and fun to make that I created all 19 cards for OWH in about 3 hours including inserting the blank pages for writing.

The Christmas ones was the funnest for me because I have tons and tons of stickers for this holiday. It was nice to use up a few sheets on them and I will make several more before the deadline.
 

Stars & Stamps Blog Sketch Challenge #28

This is my card I created for the S&S Sketch Challenge #28.  This layout is a little more complicated then my usual, but I needed to make an Anniversary card for my daughter and it worked out great using this sketch!

I apologize for the picture it is terrible! I tried scanning it and then taking the picture with my camera. The colors are all wrong but I wanted to share it anyway.

I used a leftover Dove & Heart sticker Die Cut (the heart is silver silk, don't know why it photoed pink) from a Wedding layout popped up on lime green pattern paper, some Happy Anniversary white with silver writing ribbon, Purple cardstock as their mats, 3 strips of white cardstock that is silver matted, 3 lime green itsy bitsy flowers with mini purple brads in the corner (hiding a ribbon cutting mistake) and everything is on a pale orange (not pink) Pattern Paper covered card. All edges are inked with Stazon Purple! I put a lovely DCWV Vellum quote inside on purple cardstock with a matching flower but my Vellum Tape (suppose to not show through) did not work, so I didn't take a picture of it.

Does anyone know of a Vellum Tape Runner that really works?  I have bought 3 now that is suppose to be for Vellum and none of them are clear.
