Wednesday Inspiration Challenge 8/25/10

Today I am sharing with you my last Inspiration Challenge for StampTV.  I have had so much fun doing this challenge each week.  Thank you Gina and Jessica for the chance to be a hostess, it has been awesome!

So for my challenge this week I went to Martha Stewart.com for an inspiration piece. This couple of weeks Fall and Halloween cards have been popping up in Blogland and getting me in the mood to make fall themed cards, so that is the direction I took for my last challenge.

Here is the photo I picked.

Here is my card I made.

If you would like to give my challenge a try here is the link on StampTV.  If you  play you have a chance to win a stamp set valued at 24.95 or less and if you use Gina K Designs stamps you get your name in TWICE!  This is a great week to win as there are some fabulous new sets being release tomorrow.

I am also entering my card into my Mom's challenge for Speedy the Cat  this week to make a Harvest Themed card. I had no idea that she was having a challenge this week or that it would be something that tied in with mine.  I can tell this is the kind of thing that happens with both my mom and sister.  I guess it tells you how much we all think alike.  Speaking of my sister she has an awesome stamp set that will be released tomorrow for Gina K Designs.   Next I am entering this card in Stamptacular Sunday Challenge to use two or more stamped images.   Thank you for stopping by.

Stamps: Signs of Autumn, Autumn Beauty

Paper: Pure Luxury Ivory, Chocolate Brown, sweet mango, Basic Grey Max and Whiskers

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Cantaloupe, Rick Cocoa

Christmas Cat

Ok so how is that for a lame title? Do you have a hard time coming up with titles or is it just me? Well I will  get to the tag I created.

This is a tag I made last weekend for some challenges. The stamp is from Pink Cat Studio and is colored with copics.  After cutting it out with my newest nesties set I sponged the background with memento ink.  It is hard to see in the phot , but the white on the hat is fun flocked.  I have to tell you it wasn't all that fun cutting out the little mouse, but worth it.  I have the challenges listed below as well as the rest of the card details.  Thank you for taking the time to stop by.

• Caardvarks:  A holiday tag or mini card

The flowers are cut and place on the circle. Thank you so much for stopping by.

These Boots.....

Today's I made for three challenges.  The first is Mojo Monday Sketch #150, second is the color challenge for this last week on StampTV.  The last challenge is for Simon Says "Sing it Baby".  Now I found this challenge to be a whole lot of fun. The first song I picked I just couldn't get to work and I had been talking it over with my mom(Geri) and she came up with These Boots are Made for Walking by Nancy Sinatra.  This is a song that is before my time so I am not sure I would have every thought of it, but with the idea from mom I was able to whip up this card.  Thank you Mom!!  I used Out West illustrated by Theresa Momber and sold by Gina K Designs.  Thank you for stopping by.

Gina K Designs Illustator Blog Hop Featuring Melanie Muenchinger

I am so excited tonight to be a part of a Blog Hop featuring sets illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger.  Last week when I received the email from Melanie asking me to be apart of this hop I squealed with delight.I have been a long time fan of Melanie's work. I have more than my share of her sets.  for those of you who are not familiar with Melanie she is one of the illustrators for Gina K Designs.  For my card I picked my very favorite set of Melanie's A Year Of Flowers.  A Year of Flowers is such a wonderful stamp set to work with and there are so many way to use it.  I never get tried of it.  For my card I started by stamping a bunch of flowers and leaves from the set enough to fill more than half a sheet of card stock.  then I set about coloring them, I wasn't careful at all about staying in the lines and when I was done you may have thought a five year old had colored them!  I planned on cutting them out so the lines didn't matter much.  So after cutting them out I played around with arranging them in a pattern until I was happy, and a card was born.  Here it is.....

Tonight Melanie Muenchinger has several designing friends sharing samples they created using some of their favorite sets from Melanie, take a look!
