Penny's 3rd and final challenge-use fibers on your card

Not sure, does ribbon count as fibers? I better run to the scrapbook store right quick and get some fibers. I will post another card later tonight just in case this one does not qualify.
Anywho, it's SU Night of Navy cardstock, Art Blanche designer paper by EK Success, silver translucent ribbon ($1 spool from Big Lots, snowflake stamp by Martha Stewart's Joy collection and Happy New Year from Anna Griffin's Seasonal Sentiments set. All rubber stamping done in StazOn Opaque Cotton White. And lastly a tiny blue button on the folded up corner of the double sided designer paper.
And as promised another card with REAL Fibers:

SU Real Red cardstock with The Paper Studio designer paper. Glittering Yarn sewn on. A $1 stamp from Michael's stamped in Real Red telling my honey Happy Valentine's Day!I am going to add something else in that BIG empty spot-just have not found it yet! Maybe a gift card to my favorite restaurant so my honey will take me there. Any guesses as to where that is? I have 2 copycat recipes for 2 of their great soups that are fantastic. One of them you can make into a gift in a jar. OK! OK! OK! It's Olive Garden. We just finished off the gift card that my lovely daughter gave me for my birthday. $50 goes a long way with the all you can eat Soup, salad and breadsticks lunch which BTW is available all day and night even though it's not on the evening menu.
A new challenge Monday so check back and I will post the challenge or you can check here http://qksc.blogspot.com/ to participate yourself! Get in on the madness!!!!
Thanks for checking my creations!

Penny's 2nd day challenge- Embossing on your card

It's SU cardstock in Real Red with unknown designer paper. The embossed image is from Cuttlebug's Winter Jelly 2X2 embossing folder set. The sentiment is Alphabits by SU that I stamped in Real Red and punched out with the 1/4 square punch. The mittens are a Sizzix die cut from SU Always Artichoke. A little white rick rack and a few brads and you have a Cookie Swap invite! UMMM good time!
Penny's Day 2 challenge is here: http://penny-randomthoughts.blogspot.com/ Come join in on the fun and the opportunity for some great stamps from Queen Kat Designs. I ordered my first set of QKD stamps yesterday. I am excited to get them. They are very affordable!

2nd card for Penny's challenge using notebook paper....

It's SU Cutie Pie designer paper. The solid green background is an Olympia paint sample(Lettuce Alone)from Lowe's. The match is amazing IRL. Sorry no name on the sentiment stamp set that is stamped with SU Green Galore. The photo is one I took from a set of frames that I got at Dollar Tree. The ribbon is a piece from the stash of Debbie at http://studiobeecreations.blogspot.com/(I won in blog candy from her awhile back). Nothing beats freebies to make cards with!
See y'all for the next challenge....

We have a sweet, young couple at my church who quietly moved into their first new house just before Thanksgiving. I found out yesterday. I went to Kmart today and purchased this rug for $2.50 and personalized it for them. I will sneak to their new house tomorrow and put this on their doorstep while they are at work. Shhhh!
AND yes, I painted it while it was on my bed, again). My husband just bought us a new comforter set because I had spilled paint, gotten glitter glue, sharpie ink and rubber stamp ink all over the previous set. Sweet, sweet Barry. He never said a word about it while I was painting today either. Well, except "I love your creative eye. That is a really nice doormat."
Sitting on pins and needles waiting for Penny's next challenge!!! Maybe I will make another card using notebook paper while I wait. That was a fun challenge.

Use Notebook paper on your card

I used a $1 set of Studio g stamps from Michael's for the images, a mini clipboard from Provo Craft, notebook paper, a green rubber band and my SU watercolor crayons to paint the flowers. The background cardstock is Bazzill Bling. The designer paper did not have a name on it.

Today's challenge location:

This is a lot of fun. I hope you are getting in on it!

Up for a challenge::: go here http://qkd.blogspot.com/2008/01/its-party.html It's a blog party that lasts for days with GREAT prizes!

Challenge 1: find a sketch in Kat's sketch gallery and use it to make a card. I chose sketch number 35.


Challenge 2: ripoff a card from the Queen's gallery of creations and remake it.


I chose Kat's love card to case because it was so sweet. I had LOVE but it was too large for my card so I used Bliss from Marcella by K and Company. The designer paper is from a designer paper block from either Hobby Lobby or Michael's. The colored cardstock are both Stampin Up.
