7 days of 365 cards!!

One of my favorite card challenge blogs is 365cards.  Every day Sun-Sat a new challenge is posted and you have until Sunday night to share.  I absolutely LOVED every challenge posted this week so I wanted to try to knock them all out.  Here is what I came up with:

Sunday is sketch day at 365 cards.  I also used the inspiration over at Stampin Royalty and used some fun ribbon, trim and a bow.  I also followed the color challenge at Crafty Catz, black white and one other color...which was PINK, of course.

Monday's challenge was BUTTONS.  I printed out a digi image of a gumball machine and then included 15 gumball buttons on my card.  I also followed the sketch at Cute Card Thursday. 

Tuesday's challenge is a white space challenge, which I interpreted as a solid space challenge. 

Wednesday focused on one of my favorite images ever...PALM TREES! 

Thursday challenges you to pick three.  Three patterns, three colors and three embellies.  My three patterns are the striped paper, flower paper and dotted ribbon.  The three colors are black, grey and white.  The three embellies are ribbon tab, ribbon tab and flower.  The sketch is from Papertake Weekly.

Friday was a similar challenge....pick five.  Any five items and put them on your card.  My five items are striped cardstock, printed cardstock, image, sentiment and ribbon.

Last, but not least is Saturday.  The challenge was to stamp an envelope to coordinate with a card.  I chose a birthday card to play along with this week's Party Time Tuesday challenge and the sketch is by Lord Have Mercy!  It's hard to see at the angle I photographed it at (i was trying to get all of it in one shot), but I colored the word happy and the polka dots to match the image on the card. 

I MUST SHARE!!!!!

Prepare to have your mind blown with awesomeness!!!!  I have won two contests with Creative Scrappers over the past few months and now that I've got it all finalized and on it's way I just HAVE to share.  I am so stinkin' excited I just woke up my poor hubby with my 'WAHOO!'ing.  First up I got this AH-MAZING kit from Paper Poppy Kits (seriously her kits are the most wonderul pieces of greatness put together...check it out!!!):

The second bit of fabulousity I was blessed with was a gift certificate to Scrap Attack Scrapbooking.  They seriously have everything you'd need and tons of stuff you won't know you need till you see it, and I bet you leave with it anyway ;)  LOL!  I picked up these fabulous lines:

Crate Paper - Cottage Collection

Echo Park - Life is Good

Dream Street Papers - Art Nouveau

Adornit - Vintage Groove



Holy cuteness right?!?!?!?!?!  I am so excited I just can't wait to get to sit down and play.  You all need to seriously skidattle right on over to Creative Scrappers and play along.  They have AWESOME sketches each week and it's always tons of fun to be had.  :) :) :)

Born to be WILD!

If any of my babies are 'born to be wild' it's my middle child.  She is a handful sometimes, but such a sweet beauty many times too.  She definitely would have been more aptly named 'Karma'.  LOL.  This is a photo of her and my father at a the St. Louis City Museum.  She convinced this poor man to trudge through multiple stories of tunnels overlooking the city's skyline....and he hung on like a champ!  This title work came from this week's challenge at Scrap It With a Song.  The song this week is 'Born to Be Wild' by Steppenwolf. Such a fun song...click on over to play along.
