365 Cards: ABC's of Crafting M,N,O

Yesterday's Alphabet Challenge was to use the letters M for Markers, N for numbers and O for the color Orange.  I had fun using my grungeboard numbers and word wundow by Tim Holtz.  I used ink to turn the grungeboard brown, and used marker to ink the "Happy Birthday" stamp in keeping with the challenge.  I added more embellishments like ribbon, brads, flowers, and making memories "celebrate" charm to complete this bright and happy card.

365 Cards: ABC's of Crafting P,Q,R

Today's Alphabet challenge was P for polka dots, Q for quilt, and R for Red.  I think this turned out to be one of my favorite cards thanks to 365 cards!  I've wanted to make more paper fold projects, and I thought this pattern looked like a quilt.  I added a piece of real tape measure to the side of the card, and added a wonderful sentiment by Stampin Up that reads "Friends like quilts give comfort when needed" .  The little heart button and a few ribbons added just the right amount of embellishments to this encoouragement card.

365 Cards Day 23, Pink Elephant 96, BG Recycled

I was working on this for 365 Cards ABC challenge, and we are up to the letters G, H, & I. 
G is for Grosgrain, H is for Heart, and I is for Ink.  I spotted a great sketch on The Pink elephant that showed a heart embellishment in the design.  I picked Basic Grey patterned paper called "Green at heart" veggies and Stampin Up cardstock and sentiment.  I found this button cover in my charm drawer that I decided to recycle into the design. ~ "Follow your heart it knows the way" ~

365 Cards: ABC's of Crafting DEF


365 cards ABC's of crafting challenge, we are on the letters D, E & F.   D as in Distressed, E as in Envelope, and F as in Fringe. For "D", I distressed the paint on a large round grommet made by Making Memories and also tore the paper edge for effect.  For "E", I made a mini envelope to stick money or other small treasures inside. Lastly, for "F" I used this terrific hot pink pom pom fringe that I found in my ribbon stash.  I added rhinestones for bling, a Happy Birthday sentiment, and now this card is ready for some lucky young girl.

365 Cards: A B C's of Crafting

Today's Challenge on 365 Cards: ABC's = A as in Alphabet Stickers/Stamps, B as in the color Blue, and C as in Circle.  I couldn't get a good picture of my card today, but this was the best out of the bunch!  I dug in my blue scrap drawer and punched a bunch of circles.  I kept playing and adding untill I arrived at this arrangement.
