Here's this week's From Courtney's Closet creation - a card inspired by my baby girl's wardrobe. You need to put on your sunglasses to view this one!!! Boy is it bright! And so many different things going on with it, too. Not entirely sure it works, but what the heck - I like it. And of course my mom ooh'ed and aah'ed again. LOL. Again I chose a photo that doesn't entirely show you all of the elements on Courtney's outfit, but I couldn't resist this one - grabbing her feet, oh so cute!
I wanted to use some orange gingham paper on this card but I didn't have any - so I made some! I just used the "chisel" (?) end of my marker and a ruler and voila - gingham paper! And here's an example of "you know you have too many embellishments when..." - as I was putting together that little tag I thought "I wish I had a little tiny heart shaped brad to put on this" and I looked in my box and low and behold, I did!!! Well if the colors on this card don't make you a little nauseous and you'd like to play along with this week's challenge, you know I'd LOVE to see what you come up with! Leave a comment here with a link to your creation and I'll check it out! And if you upload to Splitcoast, just use keyword "FCCC" - I'm dropping the numbering, because it's a wee bit pathetic at this point - many of you "like" my little idea for an inspiration challenge, but very few actually PLAY!!! *hmpft*
Although I have to say,
Sue continues to be my favorite stamper on the planet (sorry Carole you've been dethroned!), she played again last week for the SECOND time!! A repeat customer. Sweet!! And just look at the ADORABLE card she created based on
this outfit. Thanks again Sue, I am so psyched that you are actually playing along!!! Ok I'm racing the clock to get this posted before a "blogger scheduled outage" - let's see if I get this posted in time... I'll add the card recipe later if anyone happens to be interested! Thanks for stopping by today!

These are ALL SOOO ADORABLE!!! ('specially your baby girl!) :D I just love that summery card with the checks and fruit and bright colors--excellent job!!
ReplyDeleteHere I am in Las Vegas, thinking to myself "Oh! It's June 20th... squeal! I need to visit Libby and tell her "Happy John Taylor's Birthday!"" So, I come to your blog and find that even though I'm thinking of you while on vacation, and making an extraordinary effort to contact you, I've been dethroned?!?! Who was the FIRST to play your challenge? Remember her?! I've been just the teeniest bit busy this last month, you know. Where is the love?
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card and even cuter Cupcake!
Libby, this photo of Courtney is so-o-o CUTE! Looks like she's a happy baby! Such a creative idea ... taking inspiration from her closet! CLEVER!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did it again, Libby!! Lovely card. I presume there is some fruit on Courtney's outfit? That baby is growing cuter by the minute. Her smile just brightened my day.
ReplyDeleteWhat an angel! ADORABLE picture of Courtney. I just love the cards, especially the orange one with the fruit! Too cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteSorry for the deleted post above. I played and am trying to get my link to work: http://hambostamps.blogspot.com/2008/06/out-of-closet.html
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww, look at those little feeties! That really is so cute! I love your card A LOT! The orange homemade DP is fabulous and so bright and cheerful with the fruit. Hey, I see Monica played, too. Sometimes links don't work in comments. Boo hoo, I'd like to see her card. Please keep up your challenge. You'd be surprised how much thought I've given this as I go about my daily business. I swear someday I'll play! And, you know, when I do, it'll be the first blog challenge I've EVER done!
ReplyDeleteOkay Libby, you talked me into it. I posted on my blog!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I finally did it:

Unfortunately, I didn't look back at your card and thought I was being original with my fruit positioning, but no, it is just like yours. Oh well, hope you like it!
