MFP: SWAT Challenge 91

Hi all:

My procrastinating daughter told me that she needed a birthday card five minutes before she was to go out the door to meet a friend.  "Nothing fancy, but I know that she liked the last birthday card that you made for her," she says.  No pressure right? LOL

And since I've been trying to keep up with the Challenge Blogs that I like to frequent, I decided that I'd add another card to the SWAT Challenge at Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.  So, this is what I came up with.

This week's challenge twist was to create a pocket card.  To finish off the card I added a Prima cloth flower with a button to coordinate with the textured cardstock.  The tags inserted into the pocket say Happy - Birthday - Friend.  It actually did come together pretty quickly. And I scored a quick kiss on the cheek on her way out the door. Worth it!

Until next time

Mark's Finest Papers Challenges

Hi all:

I have a couple of cards to share with you this week.

This card was created for Sketch With a Twist Challenge #91 over at Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co. The challenge this week was to create a pocket card.  I haven't made any of these in a little while, so it was fun to get back into the swing of things with this technique.

And this card was created for Simple Salutations Challenge #90; also at Mark's Finest Papers.  The challenge this week was to create an elegant card.  Of course, everyone's definition of what is considered elegant is different.  This week I wanted to play with doilies and animals.  Not what I would normally consider in my realm of elegant; but I reaaaally like how this turned out!

I'm still working (of course when I have the chance) to get better photos;  that's why I've added so many pics of these projects; to give you a  better view.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.  Be sure to leave me some bloggy love! I always look forward to hearing from you.

Until later,
