VSN CHallenge

I enjoy playing in the Virual Stamp Night Challenges over at SCS, but I only had time to do one challenge this weekend. Here's my card for the Love Is in Bloom challenge to use a heart and/or the word love on your card.

I framed the cute Hambo Giraffe stamp and the Necks to You sentiment with die cut hearts.

If you love Hambo Stamps, and who doesn't, check out some  new rubber in stock now! Some of the most popular digi images have been put into a rubber format for the stamping purists who don't like using digi images. Here's the link: http://www.hambostamps.com/newarrivals.htm .

Also -- Hambo has updated their Sale page with a bunch of designs that are marked down 33%, for a limited time.  The sale page is here: http://www.hambostamps.com/sale.htm .

One More VSN Challenge

I had time for one more challenge, Rattlesnake Roundup. The challenge was to make a shaker card. It didn't have to be snake related, but hey, why not when I knew the perfect image.

I used Snakes Alive digi by Hambo Stamps. It's been a long time since I've made a shaker card and I've never used a Nestie for the shape. I followed Beate's tutorial on SCS. It was easy and fun. I used X and O confetti to fill the shaker part of the card. I wanted to put Hugsssss & Kissessssss on the front but it wouldn't fit . Instead I glued a few pieces of the confetti on the ribbon. On the inside I put "Hugsssss & Kissesssss from me to you!" I love how it turned out.

It was fun trying some of the challenges. It really made me realize that I can make a nice card in 45 minutes. Sometimes I obsess too much on making my cards perfect and it takes me forever and takes all the fun out of it. Also I learned that I need to clean up my craft room!! A job for another day...I'm too busy creating!
