As You See It Challenge #12

There is nothing like a good challenge right?  This week's sketch is a keeper that's easy to change to whatever your occasion is.  

 What an easy layout, right?  

I decided to make a quick and cute easy Christmas card.  I also ran washi tape through the big shot to make the rick-rack piece.  I attached it to whisper white card stock first though.  

Please make sure that you play along this week!  We will be giving away blog candy!  The winner of this weeks challenge will receive (you have to live in North America) a pop-n-place kit.  It's a great kit! Make sure you link up to www.asyouseeitchallenge.com with your project.  Good luck!

As You See It Challenge 

This week's challenge is a COLOR Challenge!  How fun is that?!?!?  

Use these colors to design your own card and link it up to the AYSI blog.

When I saw these colors I instantly thought of a baby card.  I recently ordered a couple of new stamp sets and put them to good use on this card.

Using the Stamp-a-majig I was able to balance the animals on top of each other.  Carefully perched as if they were a brand new family.

Please take a few minutes to play along with the challenge and link up your project!

Have I mentioned how great it is to be part of the As You See It Design team?  The team is made up of some of my closest stamping friends both here in the U.S & Canada.  Did you know we are an international team?  :)  

Here is this weeks sketch.  

For this Challenge I decided to make a Christmas card.  It that time of year that we start thinking of making our Christmas cards.  

*I am experiencing some technical difficulties so the size of my card will be fixed shortly (I hope).

As You See It Challenge

Remember way back when....you know when you would play the telephone game in school or youth group?  It would start out as Sally got a new dog & end up as George went to a concert.  

So my understanding is that this week's challenge is called a telephone design.  I'm not so sure why that is but it is.  I'm thinking because we give you the items to use and you do the design.  

So here it is!  

The challenge is to use all the items listed above in your card.  

I 'may' of cheated a bit and made my card a 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 sized card.  The beauty on this size card is you can still mail it in a normal card envelope.  

I used my Sizzix Big Shot to cut out the flowers and stamped the background using my favorite set Gorgeous Grunge.  Love that stamp set!  Next I stamped Thanks and assembled the card.  Quick, easy, and cute, my type of card.

It's another Challenge!  

Welcome to another challenge from the As You See It Challenge blog!  

Here is this weeks sketch.  It's a beauty.  

This week I decided to take a break from cards and make a scrapbook page.  I use Stampin' Up!'s My Digital Studio as my digital scrapbooking program.  I love that a stamp is a stamp and the colors are all the same as what I have for my card making.  

The subject of this page is my sweet five year old Adventure Baby.  She's full of spunk & delight!  I took her out to a camp that we stay at in the summer and did a short photo shoot with her.  This is one of the great photos that I loved from the shoot.  

Hope you enjoyed my project this week!

As You See It Design Challenge

Are you lovin' these challenges or what?!?!?!  

I know I am lovin' being part of the design team and having a new reason to create something each week.  So follow along for this weeks new challenge.  

This is such a great sketch, don't you think?  

I love the simplicity of it and how it can be used for so many different types of cards.  

When I saw this layout I knew immediately that I would want to use the new Circle Card Thinlit card die from Stampin' Up!  Basically using one sheet of paper it makes the flip card after running it thru your Big Shot.  

I also used some of our great designers series paper for the card base and added some of our great chevron ribbon. Of course I stamped the flower to add a bit of pizzaz.  Love that stuff!  

Here is the inside of the card (flipped open).  Cute, quick, and simple.  

Please join us and play along at As You See It Challenge for the chance to be our weekly winner & link up your project inspired by this sketch.
