Card Challenge #5

I'm posting this a day late because I didn't make my card yesterday.

My Challenge - to use this color scheme.. [thanks to Stampin' up for giving me an ugly palette..]


I decided I would try to use this layout:


My Card:

I'm Jack's "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"..

Mumsy took today off work so we could get some craft on. :D I woke up early, went to the store to pick up a bagel, a get well soon card, some milk, and warm French bread. After the store, I hit up Starbucks to get Mumsy some hot cocoa, and then 7-11 in case she wanted some Dew.. When I came home I woke her up, and then we got started. It took us awhile to get going because we were having a hard time figuring out how to construct my Halloween costume. We headed out to the craft room to find some material to use for our December Daily albums. When we came back in, it was time to make cards.

Card Challenge #3

My challenge today was:

Basic Grey paper and a tree.

I was having a hard time with the papers my paper-holic mom had for me to choose from, not to mention trying to match that with one of two tree stamps I knew of in the house. So I decided I could make a tree.. heh..

Card Challenge #2

Since Timby is working from home Tuesday, I'll be lucky if I actually get my challenge met.

My challenge:


Piece finished so far (Monday night):



My finished card:

I am Jack's Poetry and a Pattern Cake.

Last night Mumsy and I decided on a challenge to get us out of our creative ruts. Since I got into the card movement this weekend, while waiting to take a trip to Shipwreck Beads, and she's in desperate need to write some poems, the challenge is as follows: I will provide her with a prompt that she will use to write a poem, and she will find a design/paper/stamp set/etc for me to create a card. Hopefully this will last more than a day or two, and actually have good things come of it. My first challenge is to create a card similar to this, but closer to our style/color scheme/stamp sets.



My Card:



The pink that the owl is on doesn't quite match, but right now I don't have the pink that does. Until I get the other pink, it'll just have to be a little off.
