Stamping in my Jammies

Last night was the monthly Stamping in your Jammies night for Christie Ortman's paperpretties group. It's like a mini Virtual Stamp Night. It's three hours with a challenge each hour. We have to use stamps that we have received in our paperpretties boxes. I get Bella boxes, and though I have a bunch of Bella's I can only use the ones I have received since joining three months ago. Those would be diplomabella, jammybella, and just received yesterday, cruiseabella. This first card was a sketch challenge card. I am really starting to like making square cards. I just wish they didn't cost nearly twice as much to mail as a standard card!
Stamps: Creative Expressions, Stampingbella
Paper: Green Galore, Summer sun, White, DCWV
Ink: Green Galore, Black
Accessories: flower punch, brads dimensionals, ribbon, hole punch, water color pencils, ticket corner punch (yeah, I know I said I wasn't going to use it anymore...it's a sickness)


Thank goodness I got cruiseabella yesterday or I don't know how I would have done all these challenges! The challenge for this card was to use your cuttlebug. I was really happy with the way this one turned out.
Stamps: Stampingbella
paper: Orchid, ballet blue, black, white
ink: black, yellow, ballet, grey, orchid
Accessories: cuttlebug embossing folders, oval cutter, stickles, ribbon



The last challenge was to make a card representing "Hot Summer Nights". No clue where to start. Well, I thought bright colors first, then looked through my DP stash and found this DP that had words like, "Last day of School", "party", "Summer". I figured this was as close as I was going to get. I'd love to be sporting around like this in a convertible on a hot summer night.
Stamps: Stampingbella
Paper: DCWV, Summer Sun, red, Green Galore
Ink: Green Galore, Black, Red, Sun, Grey
Accessories: Eyelets, ribbon
