Kraftin' Kimmie/Stampin' for the Weekend/ Wags 'n Whiskers/Greeting Farm

This is a card I whipped up for my nephew's upcoming birthday. I used the sketch from Stampin' for the Weekend and I used buttons for the Wags 'n Whiskers challenge. I also had to use circles for Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge, and NO DP for The Greeting Farm Challenge. 

Here is the sketch:

Here is the card:

 I used my sherbert buttons from SU and Circle Circus stamp set. If you have any other questions (wink wink) email me.

Thanks,

High Hopes/A Spoon Full of Sugar/Copic Creations

Here is a card that I made for 3 challenges. The first was High Hopes where we had to use 3 Flowers, 2 Brads, and 1 sentiment. I used the 3 flowers, and I used one regular brad and one Build a Brad from Stampin' Up! for the North Star.

For A Spoon Full of Sugar, we had to use the theme "Baby's First Christmas". That was pretty easy.

For Copic Creations, we had to use Gold. I used this ribbon I got from an online store, and I tried to use the yellow to make more of a gold felling.

Here is the card:

I used the another sheet from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper from SU. It's crazy how many cards you can get decorative back and what nots for cards. I also used my Photo Corners punch for the inside and the Modern Label punch for the back of the sentiment and the Word Window punch for the sentiment.

Thanks for checking out my work,

Maxine

Tuesday Morning Sketches/Wags n Whiskers

Here is a card that I made for the Tuesday Morning Sketches and the Wags n Whiskers Challenges. For the Tuesday Morning Sketch we had to use 3 Decorative Papers, 2 embellishments and 1 flourish. For the Wags n Whiskers challenge we had to "stich 'em up".
Here is my card:

I used the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper from Stampin' Up! along with my Eyelet Border Punch for the inside of the card. I hope you guys like it.

Delightful Sketches Sketch 11

Here is the cute sketch I had to work with this week for Delightful Sketches:

Here is the card that I came up with:

Once again I used up the scraps I had from the last card to do this one. I used my SU and Sizzix embossing folders. I'm trying to get all of my Christmas cards done, but I don't want them all to be the same. I just realized though that I haven't done any of my Thanksgiving card!!!! I better get started on those next week!

Thanks,

Maxine

1 Card 3 Challenges

Hola Mi Gente!!!!!
Here is a card that I made for 3 Challenges, and it is also the card that will be going to Noah on behalf of someone else.
I used the Sketch from High Hopes, curtosey of Lacey the magnificent. I also added in the "Snow much fun" from Cupcake Craft Challenge and "create a scene" from A Spoon Full of Sugar. I'm going to look into seeing if I can set up the links for the Challenge blogs. I hate not being able to do that, and I don't think you can buy anything right off of the Challenge blogs. I'll update this post with the links later if I can.
Any who, on with the show.... Here is the wonderful sketch I had to work with:

Here is the card that I made:

I used the Sizzix snow flakes and SU Petals-A-Plenty embossing folders. I also used the SU Real Read cardstock and the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper.

Hope you guys like it,

Cards for a Special Boy

Ok, so I was suppose to have posted this last night, but I was so busy Ididn't get a chance. I recieved a request to make a card for a special little boy. This is what I had got:

"A 5yr old boy named Noah Biorkman, is in the last stages of a 2 1/2yr battle with Neuroblastoma Cancer. The family is celebrating Christmas next week and Noahs request is to get lots of Christmas cards...Lets help get him some. Please send cards to:
Noah Biorkman
1141 Fountian Viewcircle
South Lvon, MI 48178"

I put my card for him in the mail this morning.
Thanks,

Card for a Friend

I wanted to make a card for a very close friend of mine. Every time I need her she is always there and most of the time my "visit" with her is to clean up some kind of mess with the courts. It's a long story, but anyway...... I wanted to make a card for her to thank her.
I also used the card for some challenges Tuesday Morning Sketches and Copic Creations. For Tuesday Sketches we had to use a sketch and for Copic Creations we had to use red hair.
Here is the sketch:

Here is my card:

Once again, because of Stampin' Up! rules I can't tell you a thing about this card, but it's a cutie!!!

Thanks,

1 Card 3 Challenges

Hola Mi Gente!!!!!

This is a card that I made for 3 challenges. The first was a sketch from A Spoon Full of Sugar, the second we had to use tags for Kraftin' Kimmie, and the last was High Hopes where we had to use snowflakes.

Because of Stampin' Up! rules, I can only tell you about the Stampin' Up! products I used, and I can no longer link to the sites where there are other people selling like product that Stampin' Up! offers. I quit doing challenges because of this, but I can hold back no longer. I will join the challenges, but if I don't qualify because I have to keep my mouth closed then so be it. I'll have fun making the cards just for your viewing!!!!

ANYWAY, back to the card. Here is the sketch that we had to use:

Here is the card that I created:

I used the Christmas Cocoa and Holiday Lounge paper from Stampin' Up!.
Thanks,
Maxine
