Step It Up! Saturday.... on Thursday

Last week I used a Freshly Made sketch as my inspiration for my Step It Up cards.

I posted card #3 early so I could join the challenge.

I posted my card #3 thinking is was the most beautiful and, you know, special.

It was vintage, distressed, inked...

Well, had I bothered to READ the Freshly Made sketch guidelines, I would have learned they want

clean card. You know, the kind I usually do for step #1 or #2

but dummy me, didn't read and I posted the EXACT kind of card they don't want

LOL

I am an idiot.

So, this week I give you all three at one go.

I will put #2 in at Freshly Made Sketches and maybe #3 at ColourQ. I love #1 but I guess it is too simple for some of these challenges.

Another Mash Up

I am trying to get ready for my first convention. I have cards all ready to go through Monday.

At that point, it will be convention coverage.

I hope you all are okay with that.

Step It Up! Saturday #69

You may recognize this card.

I did use step #2 card as my flat card Friday card last week.

I found myself wanting to do more to the flat card so I decided that it would make a good card for step it up!

I created two more cards ... a step #1 and a step #3

It was actually a fun thing to do!

You should try it yourself sometime.

Step It UP! Saturday #68

I sat down last weekend and attempted to do 3 weeks worth of blog postings in one day.

My mojo got pretty weak.

So, I turned to Teneale Williams again. 

I made my version of her card - her cards are always step 3 cards - and thought

I could work backwards and create a step it up project.

Doing these cards, I really get lost in the process and love that I have something to follow and just make it. Love it.

As you can imagine, step #3 takes a bit of time, but the results are well worth the effort and let's face it the creating is so much fun!

Anyway here are my other step cards for Teneale's fabulous card:
