This above images is from the SCS challenge WT207 "Frugal Finds" on Thursday. I covered a tin from Arizona Ice Tea with paper from the new Basic Grey Porcelain 12x12 pack from Paper Addiction. I love the zig-zag stripe on this paper and of course the pretty, spring colors in the line. Since my daughters are always looking for quick birthday presents for their friends I added a little Happy Birthday tag to the container. I think it'll be perfect to fill with chocolate, candies, or cookies.
This card is a one-layer card that I made for the Crafty Secret's challenge this week on SCS. I hardly ever make one layer cards, but this one is a bit different from the normal because I used double sided dp for the card base. I raided my stash of stuff that never gets used and found a vintage looking sticker from Melissa Frances to use. I stamped flourishes and scallops from the Crafty Secrets Cherub set. The flower is a retired lace prima collection - my stash is almost out!!
The Poppy card was made for SCS limited supply challenge and Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge. The challenge was to use vellum - so I stamped the poppies on vellum, and colored them in with copic markers. Then attached the vellum layer with the stamping and colorin on the reverse, so the image shows through with a slightly muted look. The bottom of the image was punched with my threading water punch from Fiskars (one of my favorite all time punches).
The last project to show was made today for the Inspiration challenge. I love this challenge because you can do anything that the image inspires! I used a stamp set from Gina K for the main image and sentiments. The flowers are stickers from K&Company which I've had in my stash forever so I finally used up the rest of the package on this card. I acutally CASED this layout from a card on page 47 of the new Papercrafts Stamp It magazine... I hardly ever CASE!

I can't believe I'm first to reply. I love all the cards and projects but I definitely love the frugal find the best. I have a collection of frugal finds in my craft room and I'm always hoping to get inspiration for a use for them. Thanks for that inspiration!
Chris
I pick all of them!!! With your creative and inspiring projects...how do you just pick one? I'm going to have to pick the first one...frugal find is just so cool. Thanks for a chance at one of your handmade project. I would love to be the lucky stampers to have some of your inspiring MOJO setting in my stamp room.
Your flourishes vellum card is just gorgeous! I love the muted look! I've been meaning to try that with my copics forever, after seeing your gorgeous card, I'm determined to give it a try! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love your frugal find. I am off to get arizona tea mix LOL My husband is always asking me when am I throwing out all of the glass jars and tins I have stored for projects. I explain to him I am recycling and going GREEN!!! I cant pick I love all of your crds buyt if you make me pick I'll say the Vintage one
What pick just one!? How can I do that? Everything is so nice and has it's own "freshness" to it. I love the tin of course but since I have a love of vellum and have been wanting to play with it but haven't lately I will pick the beautiful poppies as my first choice. Now you've truly inspired me to go find my vellum.
Wow, you have been busy! All your cards are wonderful, unique from each other, and creative. I will have to try stamping on vellum. On a side note, I just got my first order from Paper Addiction. Great, fast service!
While I love 'em all, I love love love the tin & tag!
Your gift tin is awesome. I love the 'bows' .. just beautiful!
I have never seen those S'UP doodle flowers look so good! Congratulations! I love this gift box. second fav is the bathing beauty--nice!
I love them all! I think the basic grey tea tin is probably my favorite though...gosh, it's hard to say that because I really do like all of them soo much! I have time to play the challenges, so I'll give it a go too and then post my link shortly! :)

My favorite project was the card you made for the Inspiration challenge.
oh wow what would I do to receive one of your cards!
Anyone would do for me lol as I'm always drooling over your work.
Thanks for the chance to be in your RAK and ofcourse for the blog packed with inspiration
The tin is stunning! I save all kinds of empty containers to reuse but mine never look like that. And the Easter card is lovely--it makes me want to start on my Easter cards.
As usual all of your projects are awesome. If I have to pick a favorite I'd say it would be Frugal Finds. With our PC crashing two weeks ago I've missed so many challenges. Now that we're back online with the new PC I need to play catch up!Teresa
I pick them all. They are all beautiful. Just like lays potatoe chips cant eat just one? Well cant pick just one
Thank you

I like them all but if I had to pick one I would say the vellum card. Only because I really haven't seen stamping on vellum and it's so pretty.
Wowo the first project is my favorite even if all your projects are beautiful!
Hard to choose..they're all great...love the Bathing Beauty card, though..very vintage..
I love them all But the tin and the bathing beauties are my favorites!!
I love all of them! The tin and the card with the GinaK image are my favorite. The tin is gorgeous and such a great idea. The card has so much detail and is so inspiring! Thanks for a chance to win one of your amazing creations!
The tin and tag is for sure my favorite! Beautiful!

Hi! Wow! Hard to choose! I love the frugal find the best. Love the way you did the 3-D flower and how gorgeous it turned out! My second fave would have to be the awesome poppies from Flourishes! Gorgeous work on them all! - Mary R.
Hard choice, but I am loving the Easter card. It is so spring like and I am so done with Winter! Hope I win--would love to have one of your creations.
i always love your projects my favorite today is the inspiration challenge card. It would be awesome to own one of your cards i would be it in my inspiration card stack so i can be inspired by it.
My favorite is the Arizona Tea container.

How can I choose. I love everything you do. It's a hard choice between the Poppies and the decorated Tin. I'm going to choose the tin ... but wait ... no, definitely the tin.
I love the "pure summer" card the one with the Poppies. They are one of my favorite flowers. I love the way you colored them
WOWZER girl!! What beautiful creations you've been doing! I love them all but that container is so cleverly put together!! TFS!
Its a hard choice, they are all awesome! I guess I will go with the poppies, as I JUST bought a pretty poppy picture to hang with my new Flourish Lennox shower curtain I got at TJ Max...and poppies are one of my all time favorites...beautiful projects!!
