This is a tough one....

Over at Here come the Boys challenge blog, their challenge this week is NO STAMPS - that includes no inked stamps or no digis...gulp!!!!!!  This was tough! SO I pulled out a really old card kit package I got  with My Minds Eye papers, chipboard pieces, and already made sentiment tags & went to work!  This is what I came up with.........and it wasn't that painful! LOL   IT was fun using these little guys too & I'm happy to use up old stash - that makes me feel good!!! So, because I am happy with it, I am entering it into that challenge!! 

 I'm also sharing this with Hels at Ink on my Fingers because her theme is ""USE SOMETHING YOU HAVE HAD FOR YONKS & NEVER USED" - and the word YONKS made me giggle!!!!  Must be a British thing eh?? LOL  CUTE!!!!

AND entering it at a couple ANYTHING GOES challenges:  That Craft Place, Challenges 4 everybody,  and 613 Avenue Create.

AND since it is for my nephews birthday, entering it into a couple BIRTHDAY challenges:  Eclectic Ellapu,  and Robyn's Fetish.

Love to Create - Buttons & Flowers

For our next challenge at LOVE TO CREATE CHALLENGE BLOG, we have a double whammy of a challenge - BUTTONS & FLOWERS plus an optional sketch!!! 

Our sponsor this week is Meljen's Designs, so be sure to check out the other DT girlies creations and join us!!! We were fortunate to get a couple digis to work with and I chose this adorable SWEET LITTLE DONKEY for a baby card.

Here is my card for the week!

The CS is Really Rust & Tempting Turquoise (SU) and the DP is from My Minds Eye - Dolled up.  I think the sentiment is from a TAC set I've had for a really long time (The Angel Company).  Flowers, buttons and ribbon are from my stash! I have coloured the donkey with Copics. 

Head on over to the challenge blog to check it out!!! HOPE to see you joining us!!!!!

Here is my card for this week:

 I have made a side stair step card (I think that is what they are called!!!)

I have used PERKY PLANTS stamp set, so cute! Kim Hughes, the designer of these stamps gave the DT an entire stamp set to use...so generous!!! They are great stamps, very cute & ink very well.

The CS is Green Galore (SU) and the DP is from My Minds Eye - DOLLED UP paper pad. I have coloured them all with Copics, added some stickles to some of them AND have popped out all the flowers....which means I cut them allllllll out TWICE!! YIKES!!!!  But I like the look of it with this type of card, so I'm glad I did!!! LOL

Simon Says.....let's see your MULTI-FOLD projects!

This week, our challenge for you is to use MULTI-FOLDS in your creation!!

I have made a double pocket fold card which I got from Splitcoast Stampers awhile ago (couldn't find it, but there are similar variations of this!) This card uses only 1 piece of 8.5 x 11" Designer paper and scraps for the tags!!! Easy Peasy!!!!

The DT are showcasing MY MINDS EYE & JILLIBEAN SOUP PAPERS this week and if you have them we would like to see them, but you don't HAVE to to join in :-)

Here is the card as a whole:

Here are the 2 tags that fit in the 2 pockets:

Here is the card and the tags so you can see it all:

Another of the front of the card (this card doesn't open, it is just the pockets & tags):

I have used KNEELING TILDA, from the Sweet Rainbow collection. I have coloured her with Copics, and used my circle Nestabilities. The flowers, ribbon & the fabric brad are from my stash!

The paper is MARY MARY "Happy Birthday" Grown Up papers from MY MIND'S EYE. It is such pretty paper and great quality - nice and thick, double sided, with a little texture! And there are SO many styles and colours to choose from at Simon Says Stamp! I LOVE working with it!!!
