Box O'Cards for SSC143 and LNS Challenge 62

As most of you have heard, I am trying to get ready for a craft fair. I also wanted to be able to play along in a couple of challenges. I managed to combing two challenges with a project perfect for the craft fair! I made a box of all occasion cards. It was fun. I hope you like them, too. You can click on any image to make it bigger.

There are four cards and an adorable box. I tried to get a good picture of the front and the side of the box so you could see it. I think it still needs some additional embellishments, but I'm not just sure what. What do you think? Should it say "Cards?" Should it have butterflies?
I could really use some input here, and I know you are just the ones to give me good information! Till next time!

I guess I forgot to give some info on the project. I used the bold bright cardstock along with whisper white, Happy Moments stamp set (free with a $50 purchase-ask me how) and our great Stampin' Write Markers to color the images. The flowers were made with tissue paper stamped in Pixie Pink with the Fine Flourish stamp and it is all tied up with white organza ribbon.

As promised, my Christmas card

Good morning, Stampers. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I sure did! We cooked and ate and visited. Yesterday DH and I hit the sales at 4 am. I couldn't believe that most of the items we wanted were ALREADY GONE!!! Oh well. I guess that is just God's way of saying, "You really didn't need that, anyway."

OK. I remember I promised that I would show you my Christmas Card. I have to tell you that the inspiration came straight from Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #125.

So, here's the card.


They really do have some great sketches. You should check it out at stamping411.blogspot.com.

Well, I am off to do chores so I can put up the Christmas tree today. And spend some time stamping this evening!

Have a wonderful weekend, and remember, if I can stamp, you can, too!

Saturday Sketch Challenge 108

Here is the sketch for this week over at Stamping 411 and my interpretation of it. I had a LOT of "blank" space so I chose a "busier" DSP for my background. I took the liberty of enlarging my images by quite a bit and punched my image to attach it. I didn't have any Tempting Turquoise paper, so I sponged some Whisper White with the ink and punched it out with the scalloped circle punch. The flowers are stamped with Green Galore and the Polka Dot Punch stamp set from SAB 2009. The sentiment is from sweet Little Sentiments and the DSP is Sweet Slumber (both which retired 7/1/09). I thnk it looks better IRL. The camera really washed the color out of this one! Let me know what you think, and remember, If I can stamp, you can, too!
