Well HAPPY FRIDAY!!
Jason and I had a fabulous time at So You Think You Can Dance! What a great show! It was 3 hours long! WOW!!
Alexa is sounding better! Got some more cards in and will post thank you’s later. Thanks for the concern. And thanks for some of the medical advice. I didnt know she needed extra fluids when taking Mucinex! And yes I do the chest PT on her all the time! But if I hadnt known about that it would be a great piece of info to pass onto other parents. We actually have a cushioned oxygen mask we use to make it much easier!
Thanks for willing me better. I fell a little better and got LOTS of stuff done yesterday! Still need to call the dentist but Im waiting till Monday. Im mentally drained by this and I need to keep my mind clear! The mojo was in the house yesterday! Wait till you see some of the fun stuff Ill be sharing.
Now that its the end of the week know what that means?
That means today is time for the Blogger’s Challenge! I am alos posting the challenge I missed last week while Alexa was in the hospital. You can check out all the blogger challenges by clicking on the blogs in my sidebar.
This weeks was to use black and orange. I haven’t seen the other challenges yet-Ill do that later on, but figured people would mainly thing Halloween when these colors are put together-especially in October. So, I decided to do a NON Halloween themed card!
And Chic she is! I got the stamp at JoAnn’s LAST YEAR! It is called Chic and is by Rubber Stampede. She never saw ink before! LOL! Sad I know! But I loved it and had to have it. She was perfect for the challenge. This card was whipped up in about 10 minutes!
The BLING was leftover from Alexa’s Princess party! LOL! All the leftover jewels (and there was alot) I get to keep and use on my cards! YEAH!! There are all sorts of shapes and sizes and you get a ton in the bag for like $2.75! DUH!! Why havent I shopped in that isle before?! I just adhered them with glue dots.
The sentiment is a library style stamper by Memories in the Making. Its has all sorts of fun little “girly” sayings. I love you can get like 12 sentiments for a whopping $7-$8 !!!! 7 Gypsies, and EK Success has some too. Check them out in stores and some places may have them online.
I had so much fun with the challenge I made another one with NO STAMPING! (gasp!)
I had a publication in Paper Crafts, and when they sent back my card they sent some AMAZING goodies to boot!
In this package were these super cute 3D glittery fish themed stickers by Joliees. How could I NOT use them!
I had this gorgeous paper by Heidi Grace, so it became my “sea”. Stuck on some stickers, and like 4 minutes later-DONE! The smile sticker I got years ago at Target! Can you tell Im a compulsive shopper yet?
Now for LAST weeks blogger’s challenge-it was to use a Spectrum Pad in your design.
So I made this card
This heart is fromBoho Blossoms.
This card is INCREDIBLY simple but I wanted to keep the focus on the detailed heart! I think its speaks for itself! LOL!
I used my Cotton Candy specturn pad, and glossy cardstock. This card took a little over 10 minutes. Not bad considering I had NO IDEA what direction this was going.
SO check in tomorrow for more fun. Its the Saturday Sketch, and World Cardmaking day!

Great challenge cards Lauren – the chic chick is great with the added bling!
That chic chick is an awesome card, LOVE IT. Maybe tonight I’ll have a try for fun at the black and orange challenge. can’t wait to see your Saturday Sketch challenge.
Oh, oh, oh!! A seahorse lover here saying I LOVE your 2nd card here! All Jolee’s, huh? Really adorable! The chic girl is genius, too! You do just what I do – if “everyone” is going a different direction, you figure out how you can do something fabulous by going on a slightly different path. Well, I *try* to do that, anyway. Hope you have a great weekend and EVERYONE gets better!
That chic chick card is awesome 🙂
All of your cards are gorgeous Lauren, but Oh my Goodness, the Chic one is to die for. She is So funky!!!!! Hope that you get all caught up soon!

Great cards. The Chic is COOL.
I SO would love to go see “So You Think You Can Dance!” We watched the show every time…love it.
Your cards are super cute…you will have to submit the one to my blog for this weeks “no stamping” challenge!
Have a great weekend!
I am living Vicariously through you, Lauren — me and my DH could REALLY use some time together right now. Love the chic card, too — my fave! and that she was a craft store find is so cool…
I have tons of jewels from my girly-girl and she uses them on her cards — usually they are too big for mine, but that may be changing ;^)*
Glad to know the mojo was there!
Great cards! Glad you’re feelin’ like stampin’!!! Love the Chic Chick — the layout and bling are awesome! 🙂
Lauren,
Color me dumb but where do you get info on bloggers challenge? Is it a SCS thing, cause I would love to join in and be challenged to get out of my box. Thanks
Great job Lauren!!! They are all fabulous!!TFS!
Great cards this week Lauren. Love the chic!
Fantabulous, Fun, Fun & Fun!!! – Wow I love them all. That “Chic Chick” is really COOL and a great way to create a non-Halloween themed card. Love the bling too. – I also enjoyed your undersea creation and just love the Heart Image on your Spectrum card. Great job on all the cards. – Oh, I’m so jealous that you went to the So You Think You Can dance event! I bet it was spectacular. Ida
Great challenge cards. I love that girl…so sassy!
Lauren, It is Thanksgiving weekend up here in Canada and I wish you and your family the best of our holiday. When I think back of all I did for my daughter, and still do, I can’t imagine how you cope with all that needs to be done with Alexa. If I could give you and your family gift, it would be all the patience and well being to cope everyday.

Lauren, these are all gorgeous. I love the “chic” chick–so fun. And, the brayered spectrum pad background behind the heart is so pretty.
Fantastic cards Lauren!!! Love that chic girl!!! So cool! I have never used my cotton candy spectrum pad….hmmmmm maybe I should! Your card is wonderful!
