I topped it off with a really pretty ribbon that actually came wrapped around some bath towels that we got for Christmas. I hope you like it.

Get Your Motor Runnin'

Hey ladies it's Friday again and do you know what that means? It meant that there is another challenge over at the NEW Card Makin Mamas Challenge Blog.

This week's challenge is sponsored by Totally Stampalicious and the challenge is a sketch created by our very own design team member, Cass.


So let's see what I have to share with you today. My card is made using Road Hawg which can be found here. I dont have nearly enough "man cards" so I thought this would be a fun image to use. I even went and got the Diamond Plate embossing folder from Cuttlebug to really give it a guy feel. Hope you like.


Now what are you waiting for, head on over to Card Makin Mamas now so you can check out the challenge. The winner of the challenge will get a $10 Gift Certificate to Totally Stampalicious.

It has been an ongoing joke between us design team ladies about "getting our undies in a twist". Well apparently Melissa thought this was funny and she came up with this fabulous release just in time for Valentie's Day. Pretty cute huh?



As always, with the new release comes a new CHALLENGE. Yay. This week's challenge is RED and PINK. Head on over to the Meljen's Designs DT blog so that you can check out this week's challenge along with all the fabulous DT examples using the new images. FYI, the challenge gives you a chance to win free images. Also don't forget to grab this week's FREEBIE while you are there.


For my card this week I chose to use both Little Brazier and Lacy Panties. I just got a new embossing folder (Textile by Cuttlebug) so I thought I would try it out with this card. I embossed Core'dinations cardstock and then sanded the embossed parts to give it a two tone effect.

Challenges:
Stamp Something - Anything Goes
Tuesday Throwdown - Valentine

For my card this week I chose to use two images from the release, Swirly Daisy Pot and Simple Little Butterfly.

Hope you  like.
