A friend's dog passed away recently and I made a sympathy card for her.  Mac was so dear to my friend Ricki that I wanted this card to be special.  It took several false starts before I came up with this one. This challenge sparked the idea.

20 Card Challenge - Day 12

 Welcome to my 20 card challenge.  No deadlines, no prizes, just a way to share the fun of stamping long distance.  You can add a link to your card in the comments from your blog or Pinterest or SCS.  Once again, this example is not mine, but came from Pinterest.

Here is my version of this sketch. I really liked the cord in the example, but couldn't get it up work on mine.  I also like their use of multiple sized stars but only had the one size of leaf that would work.

20 Card Challenge - Day 11

Welcome to my 20 card challenge.  No deadlines, no prizes, just a way to share the fun of stamping long distance.  You can add a link to your card in the comments from your blog or Pinterest or SCS.  This example is a card I found on Pinterest; I don't know who created it.

This is my version of this card. It is something I would not have made except for the challenge and it took quite a while to get it to where I like it.  I think I would emboss the greeting next time as it doesn't show up well on the washi tape.

This card has 3 elements that I've had but haven't used...the chicken image (Penny Black), the grass image from Wetlands, and the Nestabilities.

Here is my creation:

Just Chicken In

Not a challenge card, just a card I made over the weekend. I've had the chicken peeping through the grass for quite awhile, but I didn't know what to do with it.  I found this idea online somewhere (thank you, unknown person) and it was perfect!

The chicken is a Penny Black stamp,  the expression is from SU's Best of Cluck and the grass is from SU's Wetlands.  It is hard to see in the picture, but the sky is chalked with clouds.

The paper used is SU's Lucky Lime.

20 Card Challenge - Day 1

Usually when I go home to visit my mom, we stamp and make cards.  However, this year was a family reunion, so we didn't make many cards.  So I thought it would be cool to do a challenge with my mom so that we can share our card making even far away. Of course, if anyone else (of my 2 followers) wants to join in, we'd like the company.  I'll post a challenge every day for 20 days, but there is no due date for any of them.  I'm going to try to use this to get fall cards done, but this may end up with Halloween cards as well! :)  There are no prizes, just a chance to do some long distance stamping!  You can add a link to your card in the comments from your blog or Pinterest or SCS.  This sketch is courtesy of Studio Calico.
