Old Crumbs of Cherry Cobbler

This is the 32nd week of A Card a Week Challenge. One card a week--for 52 weeks--with a preset challenge for each month. August is to use a Color Challenge from SCS.  Every Tuesday I will post a card that fits the theme of the monthly challenge. 

I picked Color Challenge #724 for my third card in August.  It is to use Old Olive, Crumb Cake and Cherry Cobbler.  The title on SCS is Old Crumbs of Cherry Cobbler!

I thought these colors would look nice with some of my new to me Verses anniversary stamps.  I am making some anniversary cards for a friend and this is a great color combo!  I used a Memory Box die to cut a square of Cherry Cobbler to layer over the Old Olive.  The patterned paper is actually a Christmas paper called Deck the Halls.................................

I really like the look of this card and hope you do too. 

  
Here is the inside of my card: 

I hope you will stop back each Tuesday to see my creation for my A Card a Week Challenge!  Be sure to check back to see my what colors I used for my last card!

Birthday Warmth

This card is for the monthly swap that Pam hosts on SCS.  Each month we make 10 cards and include a matching envelope.  They can be any theme for any month.  All of the swappers are wonderful and I have received awesome cards each and every month.  

I inked a fun birthday stamp and added some cute birthday designer paper.    I think everyone can use a birthday card like this!

I hope Pam and the others swappers like my card this month!

A Christmas Blessing

I am in a Christmas CraZy group on SCS. We each receive a card kit from another person in the group and made a card with the image and papers sent.  I recently sent Pam a kit and decided to stamp an extra image for me!    I really like the sentiment and I can always use another Christmas card!

Here is the inside of my card:

I am not sure if Pam checks out my blog, but I sure hope she likes this image!

Birthday Warmth

This is the card I made for our bi-monthly swap at my local stamp and scrapbook store called Polka Dots, in Mukwonago.  The theme this month is birthday.  I am sure my card fits!

I inked up a Verses stamp that I do not think I have ever used before.   I think the sentiment is really sweet!

Challenge Your Stash

This is my card for the August Challenge Your Stash group on SCS.  This is our 7th month of de-stashing!

The premise is to create a card or something else that uses only items that are in your own stamp room--nothing new is to be purchased.  The hostess each month posts their challenge to the group and the card is due to be posted on the 28th. Each person in the group creates their card with their own image, their own papers, their own embellishments with their own supplies--using up items from their own stash!  The card can be for any occasion and each person is encouraged to send the card on its way to someone so it can be admired.  It is a way for us to step out of the box a bit and create something that follows a challenge--isn't that what a challenge is supposed to be.  And--no money is spent as all items are to be already available in each of own stamping spaces.

Darlene posted our August challenge--Make you own Background--do not use any Designer Series Paper.   I like using embossing folders and I think I have not used this Stampin' Up one yet--so here is Pinewood Plank.   True to "Challenge your Stash", I also inked up a stamp that has not seen the light of day, or ink! I think they are a good combination!

Here is the inside of my card, using Washi tape, not patterned paper!

If you check some of the blogs on my sidebar, you may find others who have posted their cards today or in the next day or so.  There may be more posted in the thread on SCS, so you might want to check out the link here.  We also have a keyword for the SCS Gallery--it is CYSAUG.  You might see many cards there is you do a search.

I hope you enjoyed my card and I know I am excited to check out what my other hoarders, I mean stash reducers have made!  Thanks for stopping by today!  For September, Jody is up and I cannot wait to see her challenge.  Be sure to check back to see what we create!

Age is Important

This is the card I made for our bi-monthly swap at my local stamp and scrapbook store called Polka Dots, in Mukwonago.  The theme this time is Birthday.  I thought this sentiment was a hoot, and showcased that one the front of the card.

Here is the inside of my card:

Walk Beside Me!

This is the second of the swap cards that I made for Terrie’s swap she had on SCS that was due the end of April.  The theme was rainbow and we each made a card with one of the 8 categories of colors that Terrie had listed.  I took four spots and made 8 cards for each one--yes, I was busy!  One card was posted earlier this week and the other cards are coming up in the next few days.  Each card was to reflect the color and this card represented Orange!

Joys of Easter

 

This is for the monthly swap that Pam hosts on SCS.  Each month we make 10 swap cards and they can be any theme.  All of the swappers are wonderful and I have gotten some awesome cards back in past months.

This month I went with an Easter theme and I wish you a Blessed Easter tomorrow!

I think this is one of the rare cards where I did not use any ribbon--but I liked the simple look of just the sentiment and the brads.

Souls in the World

Here is the one of the two swap cards that I made for Emily’s Sympathy Swap on SCS.    I think this is such a wonderful sentiment and it needs to be featured on the front of a card instead of the inside.
