All of my cards are numbered so I can keep track of how many cards I've made along with the month and year I made them.
The layout designs that I use on my cards are provided from the design team at Freshly Made Sketches and Mojo Monday card challenges. The color schemes on some of my cards are compliments of the Color Throwdown card challenge. I owe my thanks to them for the use of these challenges.

Down by the Seaside

Down by the Seaside
# 509-2016-03
This makes the 509th card I have made since 2011. This card is also posted in this weeks Freshly Made Sketches challenge at http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com

For this weeks challenge, I chose to use my new stamp set...Down by the Seaside clear stamp set. 
I used a white blank card with metallic blue and then another white, which is embossed with my dots embossing folder. For my seaside theme, I stamped it onto my card using black ink. Then I used Q-tips and chalk to color my picture.

With Sympathy

With Sympathy
# 507-2016-03
Supplies used are :
I used a white blank card with a red cardstock from my Shimmer Matstack. The main background I used my cherry blossom embossing folder on white cardstock.
The small red and white strip is paper from my Snap Color Vibe paper pack from Simple Stories.
I used red paper with my scalloped squares framelits with a white background behind the red roses and the sentiment is from my All Year Greetings clear stamp set. I used Garden Green Stampin' Up Ink. 
Then I added some sequins on the cherry blossom flowers. I used my photo editing software to add the green border to my card after I scanned it and saved it to my computer. 

This card is the 507th card I have made since 2011 when I first started making cards. You can also find this card posted in this weeks http://www.freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com card challenge.

Welcome Baby Girl

Welcome Baby Girl
# 505-2016-03
This makes card number 505 since I first started making handmade greeting cards about 6 years ago. I thought that this weeks Mojo Monday card sketch challenge was perfect for making a baby card.

I used a white card blank with pink and then another white for the first 2 layers. I used my buttons embossing folder for my background image. Then I cut pieces from a 12 x 12 sheet of scrapbooking paper for my front images. I used my scalloped circle framelit die to give my dimensional sticker a little bit of character. The Welcome Baby is a wood mount stamp. I used black ink when stamping it onto my card.
