Blogger's Challenge (Jan. 25th)

This week for the Blogger's Challenge, we were to use the card on pg. 141 of the SU! Spring/Summer '08 Collection as our sketch. I made mine into a regluar 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 standard card. This again is a very simple card and something I always find challenging. It was definitely quick to make, so I'll have to keep doing this. :)

I used stamps that my friend, Cindy, got me from the Michael's $1 spot. I thought these were so cute and are perfect for sending cards to friends/family who live far away. So, I made 2 of these to send out this week.

Supplies (SU! unless noted otherwise):
Stamps - Michael's $1 Spot
CS - Sage Shadow, Bashful Blue, WW
Ink - StazOn Black, Bashful Blue
Other - Markers - Bashful Blue, Sage Shadow, Basic Black, Stickles Crystal, Striped Ribbon (from my stash)

Finally

Well - I am finally able to upload! Thanks to Allison for letting me know I'm not alone in this!! :) I also read on another stamper's blog that she switched from blogger to another site because of this issue as well.

Anyway - this is an ATC swap I participated in. The theme is to use a $1 stamp from Michael's somewhere on the ATC with any other supplies we wanted. My $1 stamp here is the A Little Something one. I'm not as happy with the outcome of this - my cutting skills stink as evidenced by my uneven circle! I love making ATC's because they are so easy and quick to do. They are perfect for doing up a bunch and then when needing - just add them to the front of a card and voila!

Supplies:
Stamps:Be Happy (SU!), A Little Something ($1 Michael's)
CS:Pixie Pink, Certainly Celery, WW, PP (unknown)
Ink:Basic Black, Pink Passion
Other:Pink Gingham Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals
