MPS Challenge #9 - Glitz, Glam & Glitter

I am posting these out of order, because I am skipping to challenges that fit my needs for getting caught up on my crafting LOL.  I know you can see the glam (hehehe) but it is kind of hard to see all the glitz and glitter in the picture, but I promise it's there.  I did the best I could to capture it with the camera.  I am very pleased with how this card turned out.  I have a niece that turned 17 in April; we all went out to dinner to celebrate but I had been traveling for work and hadn't had the time to make anything.  So, I came up with this idea...I hope she likes it :o).

MPS Challenge #4 - Mother's Day Theme

No, you didn’t miss #3; I decided to skip it.  So here is my creation for the Mother’s Day theme.  Since I need two cards I think I should do this challenge twice.  However, I think instead, I will try to incorporate another MPS Challenge for the other one.  Oh, by the way, I know I am behind…I AM trying to make these in an hour or less, but I have had to take a few breaks to do some other household things here and there; and I had an unexpected visitor today.   Off to another challenge…

MPS Challenge #2 - Kraft Cardstock

Another birthday card.  I was able to use another cartridge I have owned and not used!!  I also challenged myself to use a color combo that was posted by one of MPS’s designers.

MPS Challenge #1 entry - Anything Cupcake

I will probably re-take this pic…I really haven’t had enough time to let the stickles dry…

I also challenged myself on this card to use a cartridge I haven't used yet.  The cupcake is from Smiley Cards.

National Scrapbook Day 2011

I have decided that I need to take the day to get caught up on some crafting.  I am really behind in making my family’s birthday cards.  So, while I am not working on layouts I feel like I am still celebrating NSD 2011!!   I have decided to see if I can follow some of My Pink Stamper’s challenges.  Not only will I be getting caught up, I may be lucky enough to win something at the same time.  I will be posting the projects as I complete them. This is the first time I have truly participated in a challenge.  Have you ever participated in a challenge?

Wedding Shower

Obviously I have been horrible about keeping my blog updated lately.  Life has just been in the way!!  I have been lucky to find the time to craft, let alone post.  So I will try to load up on some posts over the next couple of days.  Here is a very simple card (really! It took less than 40 minutes to make from design to execution) I made for a friend’s wedding shower.  I used the following to make the card:
