Challenge card

here is my version of the "pink challenge" which was turned in today. To see a pic of all the cards that were turned in, log on to Mel's blog at a later date, I'm sure she will post them... To refresh your memory I am also re-posting the pic of the original items to use...

These were the items to use (and anything else we used had to be pink...):

Here is my take on the card:

Birthday card from Melanis

She is so talented... thank you again darling...

I believe...

I am really trying to get rid of my scraps, and as I was playing with them, I found 2 big pieces (the background of this layout) and somehow I was also thinking about my beliefs, so here is the result... made from only scraps once again... I am on a roll, and actually the amount of scraps is going down... until I create some more! lol

2008 recap

here is my view of the year 2008. Basically every month is a little scrapbooked space in itself, and once all put together the result is quite nice, I think. I had a lot of fun working on this page, which is also made only from scraps. If you get a chance, try making one. No shame in admitting that I scraplifted the idea from a magazine...

baby Boy

Here is a card I made for an upcoming baby shower. I never made a baby card before so I got my inspiration from a few cards here and there and I ended up with this. I really like it. To be noted: this card is made ONLY from scraps. Even the piece of ribbon is a ribbon scrap...

You make my heart happy

I wanted to make a Valentine's Day card.... It is a "heart" card, but for the exception of the 2 red hearts, you will not find the typical V-Day colors here! I really cased that card from someone... A fun card to make and the result is really nice!

warm winter wishes

a card I made for Catherine...

the best for last

the Christmas card for Melanis & her family. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

next card challenge in the making

Here is what we have to use for the next card challenge, which we will turn in on January 24...




Interesting, huh? We have to use all pieces seen here, even only partially if we want, and we can add whatever we want, as long as, in this challenge, it is PINK... make sure to return in a couple of weeks to see if I came up with anything... ;)

Card exchange

This my first card exchange with the scrap ladies... I want to share the process to reach the final result... it started with this card... I wasn't quite satisfied with the ribbon thing at the bottom so I started thinking about something else. that's when i realized that instead of ribbon I needed something to recall the 2 brads at the top.... so the next result was the following, which is what the other 7 scrap ladies got to take home: Since I didn't enough of the pink background paper to redo the card I get to keep for myself, I had to hide the slits made from running the ribbon through it so I just put a dot on each slit... and here's the card I have with me... I like the card with only 4 dots better...
