If you'd like to have this set on hand for quick easy girls cards then be sure to email me before the end of the month.
I was really laking inspiration when I made this, so I did my usual and grabbed some patterned paper! (If I'm stumped for where to start I find that looking at papers at least gives you some colours as a starting point) I was going through my stash and realised I hadn't made anything using the outlaw DSP. Soooo I decided to challenge myself with papers I'd never used AND a stamp set that hadn't seen daylight for a while - Loads of Love was the only one I could find that was sufficiently masculine!! This is what eventuated - not too bad for a quick card on a low inspiration day!!!
Here's another one of the cards we made at my WCMD class last Saturday. This is a really simple card, but I absolutely love it and so did the ladies at my class! This was inspired by some Christmas cards I made last year by embossing the flower from Scribble This onto patterned Christmas paper. Last year it was copper with cranberry crisp & true thyme (check them out here and here)- I thought that was nice, but silver with purely pomegranate and always artichoke is even nicer - the white just makes it so fresh as well. I can see myself making a few of these babies!
here's a close up of the teddy...
This next one is a case of the fabulous artist Michelle Zindorf (as per the SCS rules for casing my 2 changes were to use a different bird, and off course no layers - hers had several!). If you haven't already checked out her work do yourself a favour - there's nothing she cant do with a Brayer and sponge!
Believe it or not I actually don't mind this next card - it's probably my favourite of the four, but I didn't enter it because the stamp set is retired and I know Mel prefers to stick to current SU! only. How I did this was to stamp the main image, make an oval mask to go around it, then watercolour it. I then reverse masked the image and used the brayer to colour the background with Blue Bayou ink. I then scored 1/2" around the edges and went over the score with a white gel pen. I then tediously stamped the verse along the bottom in black (the verse stamp is four lines - so I used the marker to ink one line at a time and samj to line it up along the bottom). 
This last card I made whist stamping with Dannie & Vicki today (waving girls!). I really don't like it that much but I thought I show it anyway...
Well Mel, I hope you like them, now I'm off to make a card with heaps and heaps of layers!
We made two love notes and matching lined envelopes to go inside the bag, here's a sample of some of the designs...
All of my WCMD class projects used the Holiday harmony DSP - isn't it gorgeous! Just beautiful colours for Christmas. It's only available until Nov 30 so get your order in before its gone! The stamp set we used for this one was Season of Joy - also in the Spring Mini and only available until the end of November! Email me if you'd like to place an order.
I'm off to do some cleaning now - YAY! not! But I hope to sit down tonight and make a card for Mel's No Layers challenge - be back to show you tomorrow. Have a great night!
My intention was to keep it very simple and stick with a monochromatic colour scheme. It really does look much better IRL, but even so I'm not overly happy with it. What do you think?

This is my contribution...
This is the first time I've done a SCS challenge - and I even uploaded my card their gallery!!! I thought it was about time I stopped being a silent stalker and started sharing my work!!
