TWO CARDS AND SOME AWARDS!!!

Happy Sunday all!!! Well, I spent all day yesterday getting ready for my 6 for 10 card class but it's all done and I can relax - LOL! I also did some stampin for fun - whoohoo!! (okay, let's be honest, it's ALL fun *wink*) But, I got to do a couple of challenges which I have not been able to do in awhile! This first one is the one I did for Taylor's cupcake sketch challenge, only I don't have my cupcake stamps yet so I used WOW! Flowers instead (hope that's okay Taylor!) It is hard to tell in the picture, but the middle circle with the sentiment is popped up on dimensionals and it looks really cute IRL! This is actually one of the cards we will be making in my 6 for 10 class so I hope they like it! Here is the recipe.

Card recipe:

Paper - Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White card stock, Summer Picnic Designer Series Paper

Inks - Riding Hood REd, Baja Breeze Classic Stampin' Pads

Stamps - Wow! Flowers stamp set

Accessories - 1 1/4 inch , 1/4 inch and 1 inch circle punches, Real Red narrow grosgrain ribbon, Ticket Corner Punch

This next card I made using Julee's Mojo Monday sketch!! I love Julee's sketches and have missed doing them these last few weeks and so I was glad I had time to sit down this week and do it! This card is also one I will be offering at my class! I used Summer Picnic paper again as well as the Wow! Flowers stamp set and the butterfly from the Dreams Du Jour stamp set. I love the color combo on this one - I just drew from the dp and it came together pretty easy! So, here is the recipe for this one!
