Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge #31 August 29, 2008

Here is another friday challenge for you to try.  Check out Taylored Expressions for todays sketch.

This is a really easy card to create.  I actually had it completed in under 30 minutes which is not like me.  I was proud of myself.  Minimum, it usually takes me 3 hours to brainstorm and create a card. 

What a pretty color combination.  And the silhouettes….simple, easy, and beautiful.  This stamp set is called Upsy Daisy and there is a stampin’ up! promo right now…and this set is 15% off till Sept. 30th. 

Check out what the rest of the cupcake crew made today with this sketch:

Ana Wohlfahrt, Jami Sibley, Lynn Mercurio, Monika Davis, Sherrie Siemens, Stephanie Hargis, and Vicki Chrisman.

Todays featured cupcake sampler is Nancy Morgan.

Grrrreat Time! August 29, 2008

Yeah for Fridays!  That means it is time for another one of Beate’s wsc.  My sample for today is a set I instantly fell in love with….Under the Stars.  These bears look like they are about to party hearty lol.

I’m not much of a camper.  Actually, I don’t think I have ever been camping or slept in a tent.  Although these bears are adorable, I’m so afraid of “wildlife”.   I’m even afraid to pitch a tent in the back yard and lounge out there with the kids….we had a black bear running around the neighborhood not too long ago and that got me a little worked up.   I’ll stick to stamping for now:)

Make sure to check out the rest of the team for more samples:

Cambria Turnbow, Charmaine Ikach, Jenn Balcer, Laurie Schmidlin, Lori Craig, and Sharon Harnist.

Will be back shortly with another friday sample.
