Lot's to share today!

Grab you cup of java or whatever your preference is and settle in for a long post with lots of cards to share. Of course today is the Blogger's Challenge and the theme was birthday cards. I have two cards for that. Plus all five of the cards below are 100% Stampin Up and part of my Your Hired series ( sponsored by Sherrill Graff). Number 7 is also for the Limited Supply Challenge on SCS--clean and simple cards. I have also decided that I will combine my Your Hired series with a revisit of my first year of sketch challenges. So let's get started.....

The first card is a Valentine using the new scallop oval frame die! The elephant is popped up for dimension. This is card number 4 in the Your Hired Series.


Stamps: Happy Hearts Day
Paper: Real Red, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White and Rasberry Tart dp
Ink: Basic Black
Other: markers, scallop oval frame die, tag punch, two sided satin ribbon, red brad.

Next is card number 5 in the Your Hired series. It is also using my first ever sketch challenge which is shown right below the card.
