DUDE where's my CARD???

LOL, sorry I couldn't resist, especially because today at

A Dude's Challenge!


Get a Dude to make a card using a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp!

My little 8 1/2 yr old dude stepped up to the plate for me and created this adorable card! He picked this adorable stamp CURTIS from the latest release! Now usually my crafty things are 'off limits' to the kids but today I told him he could use what ever he wanted. He was so excited he had his paper and embellishments picked out in seconds! He was even more excited when I told him he could use 'the copics'!!! lol! He carefully selected his markers and went to work! I helped him with the cutting, and laid down the glue for his Dew Drops, but the rest was all him! He was very proud of his card and I can't tell you just how proud I am of him!!!

A Winter Wonderland with TPE!

WINTER WONDERLAND!!!

Thats what it looks like out my front window right now! How fitting for our one and only challenge this month at The Pink Elephant.


This was one of the cards I did for my card class at Scrappin Great Deals on Saturday! (a quick shout out to the wonderful ladies who attended, I had a great time with you all!). I've been waiting to post it on my blog for this very challenge. Winter Wonderland! The stamp used is called 'Birdie-ful Duet' House Mouse by Stampabilities. It was coloured in with copic markers. I used some gorgeous Christmas paper by Echo Park (Merry Christmas line), added some velvet ribbon and big pearl brad and kept it clean and simple.

I hope you join us in this challenge, it will run until January 9th, and our next challenge will start on Januray 10th, 2011! Link up your wintery cards HERE and dont' forget to check out what the rest of the wonderfully talented design team has to show you!

Have a great week! Thanks for stopping by!

A new challenge!!!!!

Welcome to another fabulous Challenge at Claudia & Co. Stamps! This month, our challenge for you is to create a 'SPOTLIGHT' somewhere on your card! This a fun technique that I have never tried before. I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

For my card I used my favorite winter PJ Winter Landon, he's available now on sale at DCRU! I stamped him twice onto neenah cardstock and cut a circle out on the part of the stamp I wanted to 'spotlight'. (On his cute little face of course!) I coloured in the image within the circle and then glued it right over top of the whole stamped image making sure to match up the lines. The dp I used was a gift from a little krafty get together I attended last weekend...I'm not sure who makes it but I looove it! Thanks to my secret santa!!! wink wink! Finally I added some snowflake embellies and a big blue bow to finish it off!

Make sure you swing by the rest of the wonderful design team to see how they've used the 'spotlight' technique on their creations! And also visit our guest designer for this challenge, my friend LISA! Congrats on winning our Challenge #5, so glad you are playing along with us!

Hope you are all enjoying your day! Thanks for stopping by!
