MPS Challenge#4: I like you the least

The 4th challenge for NSD was to make something using your least favorite cartridge.  Because I own SCAL and can cut any font on my computer, I NEVER use Plantin Schoolbook or George and Basic Shaped.  I decided it would have to be one of those cartridges...UGH!

Using the tag button, I cut some bookmarks for some of my students.  You can't see the details in the pic, but the paper is really glittery.  This challenge was great, because it forced me to really look through the handbook and see what the cartridge offered.  I'm still not crazy about it, lol. 

MPS Challenge #3: Thinking Outside the Box

This challenge was to do something I don't normally do.  I actually did a combination of 3 things...used a metal embellishment, made a square card, and followed a template.

The papers used are from a designer paper pack from SU!.  I can't remember the name, but will try to find it and let you know which pack it is.  I know that the card stock is tempting turquoise (SU!), as is the ink used to stamp the sentiment.  The template was an old one from Pagemaps.

MPS Challenge#2: Getting Scrappy

The challenge this time was to use our scraps.  I recently made a "bow holder" for my niece, and had bits of green and pink patterned paper and ribbon bits left over.  Pigs are pink, so I pulled out my new fave, Create a Critter.  The flag was stamped with a stamp from Clear Dollar Stamps.  They have a couple set that work great with "critters".  This one says, "You're one of a swine'd!".
