Morning card loving friends! Sorry about the lack of posts this week but I’m out of town camping, thus no internet access. I’ve had bad luck with scheduled posts in the past so I hope this works. Today (if it’s Wednesday ) is the start of a new 7 Kids College Fund challenge. The challenge is to make something other than a card. I made this gift bag for my friend’s baby shower. Image look familiar? Ever make a card that rubs you the wrong way like this one did me? I took off the image, recolored the parts that bugged me, and reused it to make something I do like. Much better.

Welcome to my last post for Squigglefly. What a strange feeling. My 6 month design team term in coming to an end. For my last DT card I used my handy-dandy discount and bought a few images I’ve had my eye on. I used one of Crissy Armstrong’s images here. Her images are the reason I applied for the position in the first place so I thought it was fitting. The challenge is to use yellow on your project.

I just noticed this morning that my site is acting up. I’m doing my best to get it to stop malfunctioning. It’s been one of those weeks. I’ll be back tomorrow with my Practical Scrappers card.

Supplies

Stamps: Squigglefly digi- Baby Elephant

Paper: Bazzill Cardstock, American Crafts

Accessories: Prima Flowers, half pearls, Love charm, Fiskars border punch, thread, button, Etcetera Dimensional letters

Color Medium: Copics- C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C7, R20, R81

I finally found a minute to finish this card. It’s been sitting on my desk for four days waiting for me. The bottom photo is my daughter Mallory. She was trying to pick up my card as I photographed it. She inspected it and approved. I guess it’s a success…at least according to a three-year-old.

This weeks challenge over at Stamp Something is “Digi Days.” Meljen’s Designs is one of the sponsors. There is some serious digi love up for grabs. I’m also entering this card into Frosted Designs challenge which is buttons.

I used Meljen’s Rag Rabbits Trinkets. Say that three times fast. The “tickled pink” sentiment is a gift from my dear Aunt Cathi. It’s actually a rubbery charm that goes on a bracelet but she saw crafting potential in it. I must agree.

Purple use to be the color I never used on projects. Then I bought my purple Copics and I just can’t stay away. They are my favorite at the moment. If you are interested you can see the colors I used bellow in the supplies list.

Anyway, that’s all today folks. I have another small giveaway to post for you, my dear crafty friends this week. I’ll get it posted as soon as I have some time and figure out Mr. Linky (by me I mean my dear husband).
