Happy Birthday Silena!

Tomorrow is my friend Silena's birthday. I mailed her card a little early so I am hoping it is already there and it is safe to post! I have 3 birthdays in the first two days of Sept to stamp for, so I will be posting those in the next few days.

Ways to Use it Challenge

The Ways to Use It challenge on Splitcoaststampers was to use stripes in the design of your card. My cousin, Natasha, has a birthday coming up on the 24th of Feb, so I did this card with her in mind. Since the colors seemed a little masculine I added a lot of bling with 2 types of glitter. I wish Dazzling Diamonds glitter photographed better!

Card Sketch for SCS

I have discovered something wonderful which I am sure most of you have been aware of for quite some time...card sketches! Splitcoaststampers (SCS) has card sketches posted every Wednesday. I think my New Year's Resolution (a little late) will be sure to participate every week. Since moving I haven't had any classes, so I am not creating as much as I used to. This will give me a reason to get creative every week. The only problem is that all of my supplies are in the basement and right now that is a very cold place to be! I may need to invest in another space heater to make it a little more pleasant to be down there. My hands were so cold by the time I finished this that it was very hard to get it taped together!
