Stampin' Royalty Challenge #17

The Stampin' Royalty challenge for this week is using "Using Your Punches" for any project either it be a card, scrapbooking page or anything else your heart desires.

Once I saw this punch art of a monkey I knew I had to recreate it. I'm not sure who is the originator of this monkey and when I took a picture of this monkey, I didn't get to read the back of the card to jot down the creator. If you happen to know who the originator is, please contact me so I can credit them.

I also had to try this "Side Stair Step" card that everyone seems to be creating. It was a lot of fun to make.

The Key Ingredients:
Stamp Sets: Look Who's Turning
Card Stock: Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip
DSP: DSP Chocolate Chip

Punches: Horizontal Slot, Large Oval, Wide Oval, 1/2" Circle, 1-3/8" Circle, 1-1/4" Circle,

Stampin' Royalty Challenge #16

I'm back in business for awhile...as long as my kids give me time to play.

The Stampin' Royalty challenge for this week is a sketch challenge created by our own Sandra Farrell.

Once I saw this, I knew I had to use it to create a card for Connor's teacher whose last day was last week Friday. Ms. Koba was Connor's favourite teacher. Whenever I arrived to pick him up guaranteed he is always near Ms. Koba or sitting on her lap.

As well, I just had to play with the Awash with Flowers stamp set that will be available in the
2010/2011 catalogue in July. I just had to have to this stamp set. I'm loving it!!! I'm sure this won't be the last time I will be using it.

The Itty Bitty Bits stamp set will be available in the Summer Mini catalogue. A sure 'must-have' as well.
