World Card Making Day Hangover

Hey all...are you still recovering from World Card Making Day? I am...lol...I had a massive hangover! LOL! Seriously...I woke up with a nasty headache and my tummy ached and I felt nausea! LOL! I got over it though checking out the leftover on SCS challenges! :P

I made this card here for the Sugar Nellie challenge. A sketch was issued and I went for it. Plus I haven't used my Gorjuss Girls a lot...so I had to join in on the challenge. Read more about the challenge here: Sugar Nellie WCMD09K. Lately I've been using a lot of sketches to work my card...and I love it because sometimes I can't think of great LO's! I need that extra KICK to get me going. Plus the sketch provided was super fun and out of the "norm" for me. I also decided to break out Big Bertha again since I already got it use to me. LV's been teaching me to use more than just the zig-zag and straight sew on just one card. I swear this girl...UGH! LOL! Now I'm hooked on sewing different patterns.

This next item I made was for the Magnolia challenge! We were asked to make either an ornament OR a card with an ornament hanging. I have TONS of round coasters that I haven't used so I decided to go for it and break those out. I think I'll be making my own ornament using my favorite stamp companies for my tree this year. :D Maybe that'll be my theme this year? We'll see how that goes! Read up on the challenge here: Magnolia-licious Ornaments WCMD09F. Pretty cool eh? ;)

Ok...I'll let you go now! I'm having a major malfunction in my brain...I think I'm losing mojo! I tried to make another card to post tomorrow but can't shake anything out! I need more challenges! LOL! Hopefully I can shake off this bug and keep my mojo. Maybe I'm thinking that in a few days it's my mom's birthday...she would have been turning 73 on the 12th. God I miss her so... :(

MY FIRST MAGNOLIAS!!!!!

Oh my word! I got my very first Magnolia stamps and they are so dern cute! What's not to love about a chubby cheek kid with no mouth or nose??? It's insane I know! LOL! So I sold some Prismas I had duplicates of to a dear friend on SCS and made this card for her as a thank you for picking them up! Lisa...if you're looking...TURN AWAY NOW!!! Oops...too late huh?! Anywho...I don't always do this...so this card BETTER be special! LOL! I always ink up my stamps to make a card for me first or for LV or for the family...but not always for those outside my family. So...Lisa now owns a "virgin" stamp card! Now I need to make one for someone super special and dear to my heart! Mums the word to who it's going to...but you may find out soon! Ok...so enough blah blah and let me get to the deets! This is a 4 X 4 sized card.
