Taking Shape

I'm working on "my shape" this week.  For my body, that means getting back into the daily habit of working out and getting my body in shape.  For this week's challenge at http://www.simonsaysstampblog.blogspot.com/ our challenge is also to work on "our shape".  We were challenged to create a card that's out of the ordinary....not a square/rectangle.  I chose to do a flower-shaped card, and I had a lot of fun making it.

I traced a chipboard flower, cut it out of Bazzil cardstock and covered it with a striped Scenic Route patterned paper.  Then, I used a doily inked with Ranger ink, a little cutie cut from Cosmo Cricket's Odds & Ends line, some Making Memories flowers, a resin flower from Webster's Pages, and used a stamped image from Papertrey Ink.  I can't wait to see all the other shapes the creative participants have made for this challenge.


Thanks for looking!

    Hi Karen, I'm so glad you found me too. It's always a blessing to meet a sister in the Lord who likes to do crafting like I do. Your card is beautiful. I have seen those little resin roses. But not purchased any yet. They are so sweet, now that I have seen your card, I'll have to take the plunge. Karen, feel free to email me anytime. Just go into my profile on my blog, and you will see my email address. Hugs

    You do have some cute things posted! Thanks for coming by my blog and leaving me such a nice comment. I love the cupcake challenge you're involved in. I am obsessed with cupcakes - but mostly chocolate ones :) But that card is so cute! I am showing it to a friend of mine who makes real cupcakes but is wanting to get into scrapbooking and card making. I think she would LOVE it!
