Hi, everyone,
With all the good college basketball on television this past weekend -- and the next couple of weekends, it's a good thing there's a little tv in my craft room! :)
ODBD March Challenge
The good folks at ODBD host a monthly challenge for OWH. This month's challenge comes in the form of a tic-tac-toe board. I chose right-side down (stripes, embossing, ribbon). And, I must admit this challenge ended up being a little tougher than I thought it would be.

| The embossed stars were created by inking the embossing folder. Then, the rows of stars were cut out. (It was actually a little like playing with paper dolls. The biggest challenge was putting adhesive on the back without breaking a string of stars.) Stars were adhered to navy ribbon atop admiral Bazzill cardstock. Finally, a touch of silver Stickles was added to each star's center for a little glimmer. |
OWH Sketch Challenge #112
This Sunday's sketch featured an oval atop a rectangle. The first card is rather unusual for me -- a literal interpretation of the sketch! :)
The second card is a little bit more liberal interpretation. And, it is this week's Any Hero card.
 |
| Cardstock and Embellishment: Jillibean Soup's Blossom Soup collection; Sheer ribbon, icicle Stickles, and gems were added for a little sparkle. |
 |
| Paper: Bo Bunny's Liberty collection, Bazzill Admiral and Watermelon cardstock; Sentiment: We R Memory Keepers, Old Glory Acrylic Stamp Set |
Cupcakes, Anyone???
I loved Elizabeth O. Dulemba's Coloring Page Tuesday digi cupcake so much that I used it to make a few more cards. Think these will go to a few girlfriends with April birthdays. :)
Tuesday Morning
The good news and the bad news is that I had a chance to stop in Tuesday Morning on Saturday morning.
Good News: They had lots of good scrapbooking stuff...
[Bad News: They had lots of good scrapbooking stuff... :)]
I think it was Kathryn who mentioned picking up some goodies at Tuesday Morning. So, I had a few extra minutes and thought I'd check it out. I must say I am really glad I did because I found:
- several sets of AC stamp pens,
- AC metallic pens,
- several packs of 12 by 12 paper -- including BasicGrey dp,
- and a cute pink and cream rolling tote that will be perfect for transporting card-making supplies to crops and on vacation.
Great buys... just a little more than I had planned on an impulsive stop. :)
Parting Thoughts
Hoping to get some cards made this week -- but I really do need to start reading my book club's current selection. (Think I'm supposed to be scheduling a meeting in the next week or so for our discussion. Hmmm....)
Have a good week! Thanks for stoppin by and happy scrappin'!
