This is a card I made for a World Card Making Day challenge on SCS last month:

- Make a thank you card
- with CHOCOLATE or other browns and
- using Beate’s sketch (WCMD09D)

I used the many · many · many · many thanks image from the Four Square set and stamped it four times to make a larger square. The flower was created by removing the white stitching from one side of the double-stitched ribbon and pulling the stitching on the other side. I wrapped the ribbon around a brown corduroy button and attached the flower to the card with a pop-up glue dot.

It’s fun to be able to celebrate my nephew Ewout’s 15th birthday with him, right here in Belgium! I made this card for him using Beate’s weekend sketch (WSC103), right before I left home. The layout gave me the chance to play with some of my newly acquired Nestabilities.

I was inspired by the card Nancy Riley made for her son Drew’s 15th birthday. Loved the black & white patterned paper with this silhouette stamp!

Look out Belgium, here I come! I’m excited to be in the air, on my way to visit my parents, sisters, and lots of other relatives. But no, I’m not traveling in a hot air balloon. This card was made for the Verve Stamps World Card Making Day challenge on SCS earlier this month: Pick a flag and make a card using the colors of that flag. Be sure to tell us what country you chose and the colors on it.

I paper-pieced the balloon with the colors of the Belgian flag: black, yellow, and red. The sketch I used was that week’s Sketch For You To Try from Jen del Muro (10/3/09).

I’m still playing with my new Koh-I-Noor pencils and stamps from Gina K. Designs. Today I made a card with a pretty wild color combination: Rich Razzleberry, Wild Wasabi, Lavender Lace, and Gold. The sketch is today’s challenge on SCS (SC251).

I embossed the Rich Razzleberry panel with the Petals-A-Plenty embossing folder and wiped Champagne Mist over the raised flowers with a sponge dauber for a little shimmer. It’s really pretty IRL!

Carolyn King designed the Warm Winter Wishes stamp set for Gina K. Designs and is turning 100% of her proceeds over to the Alzheimer’s Association in honor of her grandmother. When I heard this, I just had to buy the set!

I’m posting this card as the very first one in my StampTV gallery, since I’m using the sketch from this week’s StampTV challenge (STVSC34). The adorable snowman was colored in with colored pencils and odorless mineral spirits.
