KSS Challenge Cards

Is it Monday already?! :)  I'm ready, really!  It's Kitchen Sink Stamps Monday and I'm going to share a few projects that I had done for a few of the challenges in the KSS Forum

First up is a  little half jr. legal notebook I made for a sweet friend of mine and for Word of the Week Challenge #1 - the word was "gift".  I knew she loved to garden so I thought that she could use this to keep track of her planting or anything really!  I used Multi-Step Lilacs for this and kept the design simple to focus on the flower.


The paper behind the image is a photocopy of an old botanical book that I have - I can't bear to cut it up so I scan it into the computer and viola! Perfect! :)


Next is a card I made for Word of the Week Challenge #5.  I gave a quote that week and let people choose a word from the quote.  I chose "dream" and made a card showing what I have been dreaming lately . . . of melting snow!!


I also used the layout idea in Lynn's 10 Minute Card Challenge #6. I admit that this took me longer (just a bit) than 10 minutes, but I still love how it came out!!  I also used one of the new Puffy Velvet Markers that Maria has added to the store under the "Tools" section.    It was fun to watch it puff up and get all velvety!

Take a look at all the great cards today by the KSS Crew and make a point to visit the Forum and join us for a challenge or two!! Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting! :)

That lilac note pad is an amazing beauty, Julie!! What gorgeous work!!

And your melted snowman is a delight as well!! Cute, cute, cute!! Thanks for creating him for the 10 Minute Challenge. Here is a good rule of thumb for the 10 minute cards: It counts if you could make a second one in 10 minutes! The first one-- maybe takes a bit more! LOL!!

Love the notepad! I also can appreciate you not wanting to cut up your book...what a great idea to just scan it in!

I am actually a fan of the snow...I wish it could hang out for a while longer. *sigh But I understand why.

Wonderful projects today!
