Sorry for posting twice in one day....I really try to avoid that if I can!  Scroll down or click here for my Runway Inspired Challenge post.

Here's a fun card/gift card holder I made with some Hambly goodies.  I just love that patterned paper with the birds on it, and was so excited when I discovered that the birds rub-on matches up with it perfectly!

I'm entering this card into the patterned paper challenge at LilyPad cards :)

Good morning!  Tuesday is always my favorite day of the week when it is a Runway Inspired Challenge day!

Check out this cool chick below, from the Maxime Simoens Spring 2012 Couture show:

She looks like she's from the future or something.  I love the mosaic-like top, her shiny shorts, and the awesome silver accents on her arm bands and shoes.  She's also rocking a high ponytail!

I knew I had the perfect shiny blue fabric in my stash to represent the shorts, and I scored silver cardstock to mimic the squares in her top.  I used the same fabric technique I shared HERE during the Gallery Idol competition (which is where I first became friends with some of the ric DT members!!)- so click over for the how-to.

The DT is using fabric today, because our sponsor is the Fat Quarter Shop, and they are offering an amazing fabric prize.  Go to the Runway Inspired Challenge blog to see what it is!

I know you'll just love what everyone else made, so make sure to visit them:

Time for a flashback!

As you guys probably know, I love playing along with Amy's Flashback Friday challenges, and this is their 20th challenge....congrats, Amy!

Post your first Black and White card

I still like mine, which was originally posted here in January 2010.  Although, check out the cheesy "staging":

Haha, yea...that's totally my fine china, lol.

Hello again!

Today I have a card and a project to share.  My card uses this cute little set from SP and Company:

And my project is something I made in December, yet I don't think I ever posted it.  It's not paper, which is probably why.   I sewed a journal cover for a coworker of mine:

...and here's what it looks like on the inside, without the journal.

I used a tutorial I found HERE to make it.  Thanks for stopping by!

PTI 5th Anniversary - Day 10

I'm so happy I had time to play along with today's challenge at Papertrey Ink!  They just released a really awesome set of dies called "Movers and Shakers" that are templates for interactive cards.  I wonder why no one has thought of that before!

I've only really made one interactive card before (in 2010....check it out here), so it was about time I made another.

One of the new PTI dies makes a card with a zipper pull....I did the poor-man's version, using an x-acto knife to make perforations in the front panel.

If you're curious about what happens when you pull the tab, here's a picture of what the card looked like before I assembled it:

I'm a Cover Girl!

No, not a CoverGirl....I've landed my first magazine publication cover!  I've known about it for awhile, but I didn't want to say anything until I actually got the issue in my hands.  Today was the day it came! (I've been so patiently waiting!)

Yeppers, that box is mine! Yay!  Now I can check "magazine cover" off of my infinitely long list of things to do in my life :)

While I'm here, I've got a Valentine's Day card for my husband (good thing he doesn't read my blog...)

It's for my husband because we both love video games, and usually a pixellated heart is used to help you determine your HP (the amount of health your character has in the game).

I used my trusty paper cutter to make those vertical strips to weave the ribbon through, so this card is headed to the Moxie Fab World for the cutting and trimming challenge!  (I might try to upload a clearer pic of it if I can)

Today, I'm featuring 2 of the new sets, Easter Bunny Sentiment, and Lucky Mini Set:

As you probably read above, the color theme for this blog hop is red.  It was so hard to try to use red on my cards!  The Easter sentiment makes me think of pastels, and the Lucky set NEEDS to be inked in green, right?  Well, I tried to get creative to get red to work, so here's what I made:

Make sure you check out the SP Blog to see what Samantha did with the new stamps! We also have the Stamp Team and the Challenge Team teaming up today to show you lots of amazing projects with the newest stamp sets!
