New Challenge - CYCI16

Found a new challenge site via the Stampin' Up demonstrators site.  I made this Mother's Day card with the intent of using it for an Artisan entry.  When the rules for the Artisan Design entries changed I decided it wasn't in my best interest to enter.  So, I have a great card that fit in with the new challenge site.  The site is canyoucaseit.com. 

 

 

 

Sadly, most of the elements of this card are retiring or were retired last year.  I'm going to miss the Graden Gingham DSP.  How 'bout you--what are you going to miss most from the list of retiring items?

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

Convention Display Stamper Submission

I've decided to throw my hat in the ring for a chance at being a Convention display stamper. After a few months of blogging hiatus, this will be a veritable feast.  My submission includes three cards, a scrapbook page and two 3-D items. Unfortunately, I had trouble with the lighting tonight.  Wish I would have taken the photos during the day.  My son tried to help me with some editing and we were only moderately successful.  Without further ado, here are my creations.

 

 

 

San Antonio is wrapping up Fiesta celebrations so I thought a little piñata would be appropriate.

 

 

This sweet little can was covered with burlap ribbon and could hold pencils or even better yet, Werther caramels!

 You can see that I dug out some really old photos of my boys.  Why do our little ones have to grow up?  My boys are now 18 and 21.  Where did the years go?
