NSD Challenge #10

Challenge #10: Make something using flowers or something "springy". I found some old flower sequins I used to use when I made foamy frames...I found old jewels I used to use too! Yay, now I have more goodies to use on my cards. Who knew they would come in handy so many years later.

NSD Challenge #12

Challenge #12 is to make something with an animal or a "critter". Lucky for me, my newest cartridge is the "Create a Critter" cartridge! So I had many options to choose from.

NSD Challenge #8

Challenge #8: Make something with one color and add a flower. Its actually harder than it sounds. I wanted to make a cute card w/o it looking too boring. I found the largest size ribbon that I have and was able to use a lot of the white space in the middle. Here's my attempt at Challenge #8!

NSD Challenge #6

Challenge #6 is to make something w/ a child or for a child. Well, since I don't know of any kids nearby, I decided to make one with someone in mind.

There's an awesome lil' 1 year old named Renata that I decided to make this card for. Her parents call her their lil' peanut (even while in the womb). So when I saw this image I immediately thought of Ren Ren. I hope I don't spoil the surprise by posting this before they receive it!

NSD Challenge #2

Challenge #2 is to make something using scraps. I always try to use my scraps because I hate having to deal with tons of cut up pieces of paper everywhere. Always trying to make use of your scraps is great, but sometimes I just sit there staring at them trying to figure out how they "match" or if the pieces are big/small enough to fit right where I need them to.

I found this piece of pattern paper lying around and deicided it to layer it w/ coordinating colors. I think it turned out kinda cute.

NSD Challenge #1

Made this cute card using the Forever Young cartridge. I accidentally embossed the wrong side of her dress (pink part), but it actually turned out okay! Whew!

Entry for Made By Momo Challenge

In honor of National Scrapbooking Day, Made By Momo (http://madebymomo.blogspot.com) posted a challenge where we had to make a "masculine" card. I agree, it is pretty tough to make a masculine card. I always default to using blue, green, gray, or black for some reason. I guess because using "manly" colors makes it easier. Instead, I decided to make a card related to golf since I've been such a golf addict lately. So here is my card for the "manly" challenge.
