Whacks of cards.
Posted by Michelle on December 28th, 2008 . Filed under: Uncategorized .I was a card-making fool yesterday. Rob was outside shoveling the snow, my mother was here helping the kids clean their rooms, and I was in my own little paper heaven. I even did 2 challenge cards! I see a problem coming though – I’ve been putting all my cards in to this pretty white hatbox that Heather gave me for Christmas….uh….and it’s full now? Guess that warrants a trip to Michael’s or Target to see about a storage system for my cards.
This card was made for Julee’s Mojo Monday challenge. I like it – and I think it’s only because of the pretty sparkly paper that I like it…I feel like it needs something still…. But hey, if someone is going to criticize a birthday card that I made for them, back to Hallmark 99-cent cards they go!
This card was made for Sketch Challenge 208 at SCS. It’s a no-stamping card!; but I fancy it just the same. It’ll be good for a spring birthday. You can tell that it’s a birthday card even though it doesn’t say happy birthday on it, right??
My friend Jennifer in Canada gave me some pretty paper and embellishments for Christmas and this is what I put together with it. Thanks, Jennifer!
And this card I just love how it came together! Maybe it’s because purple is my favorite color!! But I feel like it has the right amount of everything everywhere and it’s my favorite of the bunch. The pewter brads in the bottom corner came from my dear friend Dawn in Canada – she’s a Stampin’ Up demo and those are from Stampin’ Up. Thanks, Dawn!

The cards turned out great. Glad you liked your Christmas stuff. We just got back last night so I am catching up on your blog. I’m happy you had a wonderful Christmas and that everyone loved what they got for Christmas. Same went in our family as well.
Enjoy your cardmaking time, church and shopping!

Your cards turned out AWESOME! Love them all and I see you have used your new nesties??? or was that square scalloped punches? Either way, it looks great!
That scrappy looking card for the SCS looks like it could be used for a baby shower too!
Aren’t those build a brads cool?!
Have fun at church, shopping and stampin’!
I’m off to Walmart too but that’s only because we don’t have Targets here 🙁

Looks like your Sun. was more fun than mine. Your cards look wonderful. Glad you found another use for the box.
