Here is my card for today. I actually stamped it this past weekend, but had yet to upload it...I did stretch myself on this card, I not only did a technique I have never done before, I also reached for a few things that have felt a little lonely in my stamp room for a while!
WOW! Is this ever outside my comfort zone!!! You can tell by the notations that it's on my "board" and I use it, but I thought it was perfect for today's challenge. Month of March
After looking through my own gallery for a bit, I realized I actually do have a certain pattern of style. "Stretching" myself didn't take as long as I thought it would...
Oh boy, a tough one!! I don't think I have a typical style so this is really going to be a challenge- and that's the point, eh?!! I'll get busy working/thinking on it!
Here's mine. How bad is this; I've never made one of these before, so I used a piece of dp that I really didn't care for, (it was a gift). I wanted to make sure I could actually do this before using "good" dp. Silly, I know.
This challenge was the perfect place to do the type of card I rarely have any luck with -- one-layer CAS cards. Here is my CAS Bluebird, which is actually a CASE of a card I had seen the other day. Thanks, Stacy, for the inspiration. And thanks too, Judy, for making me stretch myself today!
I actually posted it early this morning, but had to wait for approval! Hope you like it. This was hard, and I'm actually not loving the card, because it IS such a stretch for me!

Well Judy, I combined your challenge with a few others trying to get caught up on some. Here is my card: Silver Winter Night by bsgstamps4fun at Splitcoaststampers
My 'stretching' is to create a scene with the silver embossed trees, stars and cut out moon. My focal point are tow snowpeople which I also silver embossed, cut out and mounted! No embellishments and no sentiment (not sure what I will do with this, maybe next Christmas) Thanks for the challenge. All the details are also on my blog.
Haven't done a challenge for over a week but really enjoyed doing this one. I used eyelets which I rarely use and know why that is so, I drop more than I use, I used my rollergraph which I'd almost forgot I had and also the embossing edging folder I've had for ages and never think of using.

OK.... this was a great challenge! I combined it with yesterday's WT... fabric and made a gift bag set... had to post them sererately so here they are:
Thanks for looking and please take a peek at my brand new blog... any comments are appreciated!!!

I don't normally get to do the challenges anymore, but my girlfriend wanted a monkey card for her husband and this challenge seemed perfect. I thought I'd make her a bunch of verses for the inside to choose from, such as Want to Monkey Around or I Love You More Than Bananas...any suggestions from all of you would be fun. Any who...here's my card, LSC207 Odd Little Monkeys by DTS by Dig This Stamper at Splitcoaststampers

This was a fun challenge. I NEVER use crayon, my stamp wheels, nor do I ever create an entire "scene" like some people do so successfully! Here's all three in a birthday card -- all ready for my DS's March birthday.... STRETCHED BY LAND
