It's a Party Challenge

Dustin Pike is having a challenge...It's a Party! Make a birthday card using any one of his images...he even has some free ones you can use. You get credit towards purchasing his stamps just for entering, and if you are lucky enough, you just might win!

My entry this week is in JUST under the wire...it has been one busy busy week. It also was my very first attempt at a waterfall card. I am pleased that it actually works! I need little boy cards as I will have another nephew again in August, so I am starting to build that selection now.

Thank you Dustin for giving us the opportunity to participate. I am so looking forward to your blogiversary!

Hambo Hoedown Challenge # 9

I found a new challenge this week, at the Hambo Hoedown. The challenge is to use HOT PINK and BRIGHT GREEN. You are also supposed to use the adorable caterpillar that they emailed you last week if you completed the rules and challenge correctly. If you are like me and didn't know about the challenge then you can use ANY adorable HAMBO stamp, and they even have a free one you can download to try.

This was my first challenge for the HAMBO Hoedown and I am looking forward to completing more. Be sure to check them out at HAMBO STAMPS ... They have a great selection of both rubber and digital stamp.

Not having too much pink or bright green in my stash, I gathered what I had and this is what I came up with.

The inside says:

Don't Get Carried Away om Your Special Day
Happy Birthday

Altered Egg Carton

It is that time of the week again....time for another one of Dustin Pike's Fabulous' Challenges. This time it is Anything But a Card with an Easter Theme. Be sure to check out all the details here! I have had an incredible busy week, ending with getting home late last night after taking my school's team to the Destination Imagination State Tournament. Too bad we didn't make it to Global's. But making it to State our first year, was quite an accomplishment and we had a ton of fun along the way! Great job team!

I am pleased with how this project turned out, finishing it just under the wire. The pictures were difficult to get, but I think they finally turned out fine. This is a centerpiece for our table. With no children in our house, we don't color eggs, and try (notice the word try) not to buy candy! So instead of a basket with empty plastic eggs (that of course eventually get filled!), I have an inedible centerpiece! Happy Easter all!!
