3 challenges in one: Created by Hand, Our Creative Corner and One Stop Craft challenge

Hi! I've been absent for a bit due to busy family commitments and visitors.

Here's a card that fits 3 challenges this week. It's a wedding card for friends of ours who are getting married on Saturday. We're excited for them because it's a mid-life, second chance at love couple! Those are so fun! I didn't think I'd ever get married! I was 35 when I finally found my prince. (I sure got tired of frogs)

I used parts of the wedding announcement to make the cake on the card. Their wedding colors are black, white and ivory, so I stayed with those colors. The challenge on Created by Hand was our choice this week. (love that!) The border punch is a Martha Stewart punch (Our Creative Corner Challenge: http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/2009/06/occ-challenge-border-punches.html ) I've used Stickles glitter on the cake and the embellishment (One Stop Craft Challenge #33: http://onestopcraftchallenge.blogspot.com/2009/06/challenge-33-add-some-sparkle.html ) The flower is a paper flower and the middle of the flower is also from their announcement.

thanks for stopping by!

Our Creative Corner Challenge: Tag

Hi. This is a card I made for my sister for her birthday last year. The whole card is a tag! The rose is Iris Folded. It's a photo of one of our roses in front of our house, in fact, it's the rose on the banner of my blog!

Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge and Sparkle Creations Christmas Card Challenge #11

 

This card is for two challenges: Our Creative Corner Sketch Challenge by Laurie Schmidlin and Sparkle Creations Christmas Card Challenge #11 (Red and White).

I have used three mini Cuttlebug folders in the center, Merry Christmas stamp by Stampabilities, Noel stamp by PSX and bridal ribbon from Hobby Lobby.

Both of these challeges were fun and their corresponding blogs are awesome!! Check them out:
