PaperCrafts Magazine Challenge 7-Use 10 Embellishments

Morning all! I am loving the PaperCrafts Challenge Magazine! I hope you are enjoying it as well, and also joining me on my journey! I plan to create all 75 challenges and post them here. I am hoping you will post your creations to the linky below...I'd love to see them!

So, I've thrown in an extra challenge for myself in all of my creations....I'm hoping to use up all my gorgeous products that I've been hoarding! No more new stuff until these challenges are done. These buttons and brads have been sitting in my cupboard for a bit, and I'm so happy I got to use them here. Beautiful, aren't they?

PaperCrafts Challenge #1, Use a Page from the Phone Book

Oh my word! Have you guys seen THIS magazine?!? PaperCrafts Magazine released a mag subtitled "75 Creative Card Challenges" and my goal is to complete them one at a time and post them here. I'll add a linky too, and hopefully some of you will want to play along with me and share your creations!

 So Challenge #1 was to use a page from your phone book. And on a personal challenge, I've decided NOT to buy anything for these challenges, I have to start using up my stash of products, and even some of my products I haven't done anything with...so VOILA! My Elegant Bird Bigz die (that I've owned since its release) is FINALLY  being showcased! Wahoo to challenges AND using stashed away items! :o)

Ingredients: (All SU! unless otherwise mentioned)
Rose Red CS and Stampin' Write, Very Vanilla CS, Perfect Plum CS, Stampin' Write and Classic Ink, Polka Dots Background Stamp, Elegant Bird Bigz Die, Bitty Banners Framelits Die, Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set, Basic Pearls, Phone book page from local phone book :o) and twig from local bush :o)

So click below to add a link to your card if you wish to join me! Have fun with it, and come back in 2 days to see another challenge!

New Catty Release Card

Well hello there! I have been busy creating cards for a Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalogue Swap I am in. They're due Aug. 1 to the hostess, and we will get all of our swaps back on the 10th. I will be sure to post them so you can get a peek of what is coming out in the next Holiday Catty!

This was one of the cards we made at my New Catty Release party way back on June 2. It features new designer paper, cardstock color and classic ink, ribbon, stamp set, and framelits die. Fun was had by all and the winner of the grand prize was my good friend and all over creative crafty chick: V! Yay you! ;o)

Ingredients: (All SU!)
Midnight Muse CS, Patio Party DSP, Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Northern Flurries Embossing folder (which OMGoodness I am just realizing is retired!), Bitty Banner Framelits Die, Itty Bitty Banners Stamp Set, Summer Starfruit Classic Ink

Thank you to the best horse back riding instructor!

These photos do not do the projects OR products justice. Sorry all! I was literally waiting for the UPS guy to come so I could stamp the horse, and emboss the pink framelits to assemble and give away. I snapped the pics on the way out the door to L'il C's last riding lesson of the year.
