A couple challenge cards

Hi everyone!  I have a couple challenge cards to share tonight.  Yes, more circle cards -WHAT!  LOL!  I can't help it, I am on a roll and with all my Spellbinder dies out it makes it easier for me!

First up, a double challenge card.  I haven't played along with Cath's Tuesday Trigger in forEVAH, so I made some time tonight JUST before the deadline of tomorrow -LOL!  This card is also for Technique Tuesday's challenge (TTSCS4) to use a flower image on your card.  The little stems image are from the set, Long Stemmed Sentiments. I thought they would be perfect for that amazing lipstick image!! The paper is from the new Cosmo Cricket, Winter Mittens paper (LOVE) and some Baker's Twine and Taylor's Twinkles finish the look.

Next I had a chance to play along this week's SCS sketch challenge.  Only I turned it into a circle card!  heehee!  I used Verve's new set, Carpe Cupcake. I couldn't figure out how to put a sentiment on this one. hummm... I pieced the cupcake bottom with the adorable pattern paper from October Afternoon, Ducks in a Row. Again, I used the tiny rhinestones from Taylor's Twinkles to the cupcake "sprinkles". Both the pattern paper and the bright and lovely twill ribbon are from the Stamp Simply Ribbon store.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great evening!

Tuesday Trigger card

Hi everyone! I have been eying Cath's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger challenges each week but never found time to play along until now. Check out this cutie trigger picture -
I immediately thought of my new 6x6 Webster's Pages from the Sweet as Cherry Pie line (I got mine from Sharon's Webster's Pages Postcards from Paris kit). I have been dying to use this red and white star piece of paper!! The shape of the background around the lamp reminded me of the Top Note die, so I used a favorite layout of mine. I really wanted to use some yellow gingham ribbon I have, but I couldn't get it to look right! So I went with using a strip of the pie and scalloped border each from a different piece from the kit. The sentiment is from Verve's Thankful Hearts.

I thought this would be a perfect card for my mom! She was always baking when I was young and taught me everything I know.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
