Playing in Challenges

Finally, I stopped and re-started-- to play in some challenges today!  While I do love the different teams I am on etc, I find myself really missing creating for the other challenges out here in blogland.

Today I am starting with Tracy's Monday Mood Board #3.

 Monday Mood Board #3 @ whoistracy.com

I loved the bottom right photo - the graphics with the orange.  I simply had to use Shirley's new line; Bee's Knees [available through STAMPlorations]; City Girl.  Isn't she just awesome!  So classy, and I have been having a fabulous time creating with her [coming soon]. I am also uploading this at Happy Little Stampers for the October Sketch.  I can "see" the sketch in my card~


I also joined in with Time Out Challenges #16; CASEing Heather.

[This also works for Tracy's Mood Board - yay!]  Once again, I used Shirley's other new images from Bee's Knees; Rosebuds.  [So exciting for Shirley to be designing her own stamps, and awesome for me getting to design with them!] Here's Heather's card:


I had fun this morning!  Now, I am off to clean my house :).


Thanks for stopping by~

I love what you've done with Shirley's stamp set. The masking of that circle behind the image is just genius.

Ooh, Vicki!! I LOVE what you've done with my stamps! CityGirl looks gorgeous in her red raincoat, and I love the text background circle. And as for the rosebuds, they look fabulous with the soft colouring - great take on Heather's card!

I can 'see' the sketch in your card too. Great interpretation. I can't wait to get this stamp - I love it. Her bright coat is awesome. Thanks so much for playing along at Happy Little Stampers! xx

The stylish birthday girl is very cool and the circle background is a very clever element. I love the soft background of rosebud card too with the colours blending so beautifully.
