Recipe Challenge

Hello!  This is going to be a quick post this morning because I REALLY NEED SOME SLEEP!  Yes, I do type these posts the night before, and I am really tired tonight.  We have been doing craft fairs on the weekend so there is no time to catch up, and with us cooking Thanksgiving dinner, I just was able to squeeze in the shopping tonight....on the way to picking up my son from basketball practice....which went late....

Have I mentioned kids in schools just before holidays are exhausting?  

Good night.....

Oh wait, my card!  Here it is:

Stephanie had challenged us to make a Riley and Company card with a recipe challenge. I used Carrying Tree Riley from the clear set.  The recipe was:  3 patterned papers, 1 ribbon, and 3 of one type of embellishment.  I finished this card at 10pm Saturday night....sigh...I think I cut a little crooked...

Didn't notice that until I was editing my picture.  Oh snap.  

Well anyway, check out the design team's blogs below to see some more from the recipe challenge and make sure you head on over to the Riley and Company Blog and play in our challenge too.

Jackie            Joy

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

Dream Valley - anything goes

Monday Morning Challenge - anything goes Christmas/Winter

Pink Elephant Monday - anything goes

PS.  Have a Happy Thanksgiving and RELAX!  It's the holidays!

Texture Challenge at Riley and Company

Hello everyone!  Good morning!  Are you like me and counting down the days until summer vacation?  10 more days until my kids' school (aka my WORK!)  is done for this school year!  But who's counting!?!

I hope you enjoyed our blog hop and all of the new Funnybones stamps.  I had a great time playing with all of the new sentiments!

Today on the Riley and Company blog Kelly is challenging us to use texture on our projects.  Here's my card:

I have used kraft paper for the backing.  For the texture, I'm not sure what you call it....This is something that I had in my box of bling.  It is a weaved pattern made of red and gold thread.  I thought it would look perfect on a Christmas card!  Riley is carrying a Christmas tree on this stamp from the clear stamp set called Carrying Tree Riley! You can find it in the store HERE.

Make sure you ink up your Riley and Company stamps and come play along in our texture challenge!
