Everything but the kitchen sink challenge


Hey there! This is going to be a real quick post. We're heading out right after Mr. Keller gets home from work. Anyway, I really wanted to be able to make in time for this challenge, so I hurried and made these cards today. Super quick. Nothing too special. I haven't gotten any mail in the last two days, yeah crazy! And I was waiting to get something exciting. But I figured I would just go ahead and use some newspaper I got in the mail earlier in the week. So I made THREE cards today!! Ha! I just wanted to try some different things. for the first one I did another Dahlia flower, this time using newspaper, it was fun!

And again for this second one I used newspaper to create kind of a laced ribbon effect. I also used bubble wrap as a stamp for the white stamped background. I'm not sure where I got it from, but at some point it probably came in the mail a while back.

And this last one I ended up finding a Snapfish magazine I got in the mail a week or so ago, I was flipping through it to see if there was anything that would work good for the challenge, and I realized it had these really neat brush flowers on each page. So that is where the brown strip with the flower on it came from. SUPER simple card, nothing too special, but I was in such a hurry I threw it together. (NOTE: the brown smudge on the bottom of the flower isn't suppose to be there! I think I must have had some brown ink on my hand and touched it, oops!) I am happy I am able to be a part of this challenge! I was excited about it when I first read about it on Courtney's blog!

I know I haven't been listing my supplies I've been using lately, mostly because I don't have time... or just too lazy. Ha! I may try to list supplies again eventually but for now I do not have time. So hope you enjoyed, have a wonderful weekend!!

  8. These are wonderful...each one! So very creative...and I love the color combos. I saved a bubble wrap envelope that a book for my husband came in from Amazon, and he gave me that...look! But I explained that we now (recently) moved to a small town and since I have no longer have a place to shop...I need to get my supplies where I can! Anyway...truly fantastic cards! Do you have a tutorial for your flowers!?
