Alphabet challenge - I'm in no shape to exercise

Friday September 18, 2026

Hello everyone

We have a new challenge over at

Alphabet challenge

Theme:  K - for Kitten (s)

I have a few of these cute stamps and thought it's the perfect time to use it. 

I stamped the kitten and colored with copics. I used 
Spellbinder die to cut it out. 

I cut a brown piece to add behind it and used my corner rounder on it and added a little Ranger ink around it. I found this designer paper and have no idea who it's by but I thought it worked with the image. I stamped the sentiment and it's pretty much smeared off the wooden block so sorry no idea who it's by. I used a My favorite things die cut it out and used some Ranger ink to soften the white.

Theme: Anything goes

I made this card for my Great grandson as he graduated from high school. I used a club scrap stamp and very light ink and stamped a car on the far left. It's hard to see but he is so into his car thought it was perfect.

I used scraps of their school colors - Black and Red and cut strips and adhered to a piece of paper and then using Paper Trey Ink number dies cut it out.  I used Pretty Pink Posh cap and diploma and die cut out and added to the card. I finished with the sentiment. 

The inside had a couple of hearts from Simon Says dies as a little extra love and cut from scraps of the numbers piece.
