A Super Sunday....

...and for me the SUPER part has nothing to do with Football...the super part for me is having a great day of crafting and coming here to share some new cards I created today.

   My first two cards were both inspired by this week's Sketch over at the Stars and Stamps blog.  This is always one of my favorite challenges and I totally LOVE the sketches.  They are always great, yet not complex and totally fun to follow.  Here is a copy of this week' sketch, so you can see what how it used it for my cards.

Sketch # 55 

  And this is my first card, where I flipped the sketch and used a cute little digi from Bugaboo Stamps. This image was part of the exclusive January Collection!

  This fun card will end up being for my son for Valentine's Day and is also being submitted to these challenges -

• Stars & Stamps Blog - Operation Write Home - Sketch # 55
• Catch the Bug - February Challenge - Anything Goes
• Crafty Ho's Challenge Blog - Love Theme

   My next card was also inspired by the OWH sketch, but I changed it up a bit and created my image in a circular shape.  This card was created with a a cute little digi from Baby Bud Designs and is another fun Valentine card.

  My sweet little 'Fairy Bud' card is being submitted to these challenges --  I hope you'll join me and have fun creating!

• Crafty Emma's Challenge Blog - Challenge # 22 - Red & Romance
• Crafty Calender Challenge - Challenge # 17 - LOVE
• Flutter By Wednesday - Challenge # 140 - Fairy, Butterfly or Angel

   My next card was created for a new Clean and Simple Challenge over at 'The Outlawz' and our challenge this week is create a 'CAS' Card using these colors - Pink, Brown & White.

 This card is also being submitted to these challenges:

• The Outlawz - Sunday CAS Challenge - Pink, Brown and White
• Mark's Finest Papers - Challenge # 41 - Create your own Flowers

  I had a lot of fun with that card and totally enjoy this new weekly challenge.  I started by picking up some pink, white and brown papers and first made my flower with my Tim Holtz Die.  then simply used the same papers for my background and embossed the pink layer for texture.  I used my ribbon to separate the two papers and them added my flower with a pink corduroy brad.  It's been very helpful at teaching me how to create CAS cards!   If you LOVE challenges like I do, then you will definitely want to join this fun new group and be sure to join in for a very BIG EVENT starting on Monday, February 13th!  It's going to be a lot of fun and you'll have a chance to win one of several fabulous prizes.  For me details - please head over to 'The Outlawz' and join the fun. 

  I also created two more fun cards, but you will have to wait until tomorrow to see them both as they are both design team projects for brand new challenges which both will be starting tomororw morning.    Please be sure to come in the morning for the fun details.  In the meantime, you still have time to enter either of the current challenges at StampFairy, or the Birthday Card challenge over at 'The Outlawz'. 

   Lastly, I want to wish everyone a great weekend and to those of you of LOVE Football, I hope it's a great game.  My team, (The Patriots), are sadly not in the Super Bowl this year.   But, since I always like to pick one team to route for, I'm going with the Pittsburgh Steelers and hope they win.
