You Rock Banner Card

This card uses paper from Little Yellow Bicycle called "Generation Z." There are so many pretty flower, butterfly, cute or pink papers out there. I'm always on the lookout for interesting paper that is not so feminine. Generation Z is great for that. 

I cut the banner shapes by hand. The stamps are from Inkadinkadoo.  I stamped the top one in black Hero Arts ink and the lower design in a charcoal color from Hero Arts. 

I'm entering this card over at the Mod Squad Challenge Blog where the challenge is to make the sentiment the focal point.

Look Beyond the Clouds

I used an old sketch from Viva La Verve to create this cute card. The washi tape I used was very wide, so I cut it in half. 

The sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie. I'm entering this card in the latest Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge which is to make a rainbow.

I made this card during a fun event I attended yesterday. The event was Crop for a Cause. It is an annual crop to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Everyone gets a goodie bag packed with crafting supplies, then there are a bunch of raffles, free dinner, and dirt-cheap craft shopping ($20 for all you can pack into a 14" x 20" bag). I found a corner punch I had been eyeing for months, two jars of Perfect Pearls, a little pack of rhinestones, lots of brads, two Hero Arts ink pads, some stickers and a giant pile of beautiful papers (Graphic 45, Bo Bunny, Basic Grey, Little Yellow Bicycle and Authentique).  

Everyone does their own thing. Mostly scrapbooking, but I saw lots of card making too and even one person making jewelry. 

The sketch is from the latest Our Daily Bread Challenge. I used ODBD stamps for the focal image and the sentiment. 

The weekly challenge at Kraftin Kimmies is "Anything Goes," so I'm entering this card there as well.
