Blog Hop Combo Happy Birthday!

Hello everyone hope all of you had a fun weekend. There's a blog hop going on SPCC.Go over to check it out and be inspired and win prizes :)Blog Hop Combo . So the color combo
Pretty easy color combo but to use some thing  recyclyed was a bit challenging becuase it is a go green blog hop.
I recycled a box top.
First I painted the box top with some blue paint. Then I didn't have turquise ribbon so I just took my white satin ribbon and inked it in turquise ink. Then I sewed it and stick it up to the box top. The Happy Birthday is a stampin' up retired stamp.After stamping it on a textured cardstock it gives the distressed look not perfect. I live in dubai so we don't have stampin' up over here. Whenever I go to the states I just fill up one of my suitcase with supplies :D, .... In the end I just cut out some hearts and took out a butterfly from my sticker stash.Sorry I can't stop myself from the stiching lines they just add this last touch :)

Oh and the blog hop I did that before making this card to be inspired and thanks to the DT I was inpired
Hope you liked it.Enjoy the week Have fun!

SP Color Combo #38

First time trying this color challenge out looks like fun.Go over to the blog and join in the funSPcolorcombos
Now for my card. I live in middle east so we don't have anything such as stampin up we do have other famous companies basic grey K & company just a few of them. :) So I tried matching up my colors as far as I could I hope its okay :)
Yes after taking the picture I realized the ends of the ribbon weren't trimmed too well so just did that. Its amazing how my camera works it captures a really detailed image too bad Im not good at photography.Oh well now over to my card. Its a 4 1/2 by 4.25 inches. It a little short in width because I messed up the side while drawing fuax stiching :D so I end up trimming that side. I am in love with this kinda ribbon it just fills up the card and it sorta looks like a butterfly. I stamped polka dots with some brown chalk ink and then stamped "Thank You" on it with some "versa color lilac" ink. For the blue color I just added a blue border that I had and thats it to the card.
I hope you liked it and I had fun playing along this challenge!
Have a fun saturday!

Now for my card....I had these peices of cloth saved from when I was making a quilt....
I was eying these flowers that were sorta going in a round so this is what I did.....
I cut out the flowers and  tried stiching them in a round Somehow I pulled it out right but not exactly perfect. I decided to use a whiite cardstock since it can just go with anything. Added some ribbon to give it a little last touch.I hope you liked my card.

Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #102

Hello every one. It's time for another taylored expressions sketch challenge...
A really nice sketch so I couldn't stop my self from making just one card so I made two....
I haven't had made handmade patterned paper for a while so I made a striped patterened paper for this card. I wasn't sure to use it on white card base or red so I used it on both of them. I will be having a party soon so I have to like invite 70 people..OMG making 70 invitations will be challenging for me. I am thinking to go for the red one but I had another idea which I will be posting tomorrow.Tell me then which one is better...The "just for you" is a standard size card. The invitation one is 3.25 by 4 1/2...Pretty easy and simple cards.
Enjoy. :)

Go Green Challenge KLSNS

Hello there every one. This is the first time i'lll be doing a KLstampin n scrapping  challenge. Its there go green challenge. So this was about recycling.Go over to their blog for more. I had this old organizer which was too pretty to just throw it away......
I Just coudn't throw away this little thing so I made this out of it.....

It's basically a card but a really different one it has magnets to the right and its a tri fold card...

It has a gift inside the card. This inspiration was from the two peas a year in class, Feb by Kristina werner.I wrote wishes on the left side and to the right is a personal message. 
This is a sketch by EBTKS Challenge which is still going on I just reused the sketch.I stamped a little bit on the inside. Those magnets you can see on the right and left they actually help you to open the card....

So it kinda looked like a gift box so I just put a little red cardstock on the back so that it looked good.
Oh and those letters on the card are also recycled. You guys know how we buy a samsonite suitcase or something other we get letter stickers so there were two sets of uppercase I was left with many I didn't throw them away just used them on this card....


This card took a very long time. Especially scoring it and trying to fit the magnets to the card by the way the my organizer had magnets on it so I cut out the exact same magnet and put them up to this card...To add a little interest to the card I popped up a butterfly with some buttons.I didn't have enough space to right the whole "HAPPY BIRTDAY" phrase and I wanted to recycle the same letters for this particular challenge so I just sticked Happy Day :)... Go Green challenge and my card literally is green.....That was alot of fun. Looking forward to more challenges from KL stampin N Scarppin..
I hope you Enjoyed Have Fun the week has just started :)....
