First challenge of the year

By
I decided to make a goal list for 2013 to keep me motivated ad the mojo running...
  • Participate in at least one challenge a week
  • Participate in at least one blog hop a month
  • Clean up my blog list
  • Join one design team  ( I kinda miss this)
  • Focus on Clean and Simple projects
  • Continue Sunday Blessings, thinking of doing a Sunday Word/Theme weekly challenge with a monthly  prize
These seem do-able!

So here is my first challenge card:  for ABC Challenges

'New Year Sparkle'
Create a card using things that are shiny and sparkly.
Hope you have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by,

    Looks like a good list of things to do, I didn't promise myself anything this year except to lose weight. I sure hope I can do it this year, every year I say the same thing but the older I get the harder it is. LOL! Love the card. TFS and Happy New Years.

Building Block Graduation Card

By
Hello, everyone! Melissa here on to share a "building block" style card with you. I made this one graduation themed, since there are a ton of graduations going on right now. Hope you enjoy this card, and are inspired to try it out yourself. Here is the tutorial I followed from Split Coast Stampers. To make it easier, I will give you all the measurements, here. It looks harder than it is, I promise. Start with a piece of cardstock in your desired color that is 5.5 x 10.5. Put the 10.5 inch side along the top of your score board or paper trimmer, and score at 3.5 inches and 7 inches. Fold the first score line in a mountain fold, and the second in a valley fold. You should end up with a "z" fold card. The next part can get a bit tricky, so make sure you watch the video to fully understand what I am about to explain. On the back side of the "valley" fold, take a ruler and pencil and mark these measurements: 3/8 1 3/8 1 5/8 2 5/8 2 7/8 3 7/8 ...
