Title: Put Your Brand on That
Hostess: stamp_momma
Keyword: AUG11VSNF
Day/Date: Saturday, August 27
Time: High Noon EST

Howdy! Howdy! Can't tell y'all how tickled we are to be kicking things off this afternoon! I've never been to a rodeo that wasn't fun (and I've been to more than my share!), and I've never met a cowboy who didn't have a brand...even if it's just doodle on a piece of scratch paper in his wallet. ;)

For the sake of this challenge, when I say brand, I'm referrin' to your signature mark in card making. Your old reliable? Your immediate go-to? Mine is kraft cardstock...I'm hard pressed to make a card without it these days.

Challenge to you: I want you to steal my tried-and-true kraft cardstock and mark it up with your brand.

Simply put: Use kraft (or khaki, tan, dark cream, etc.) cardstock someway, somehow on your card and then apply your personal brand or your own signature move. Something that we could look back through your gallery and say, 'yep! she sure nuff loves that!' It might be stitched ribbon, white brads, twine, certain color, paper flowers...Come on, Put Your Brand on That!

Just because I love a good rodeo, I've attached a shot of my favorite breakaway roper, my friend Krista Jo, that I took at the Missouri Rodeo Cowboy Association's State Finals Rodeo last weekend.

Just patience, prayer, and a helpful husband. One day at a time.

[Clownmom]

I wasn't sure I had a "brand;" but, after I looked through my gallery, I discovered that maybe I do. Here's my card -- Tiger Tiger Burning Bright.

[saffivort]

Here's my card for this challenge:

Make A Wish

TFL, Vannessa x

Thanks for looking : )

[casep]

It took awhile to decide what my "brand" is. I love ribbons and brads and SO many colors, but I decided my go-to element is die cuts. Here's my card: Brand New Thank You by casep - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

[meerkat3]

My brand is snark, or irreverence, or "you won't find that on a card at Hallmark". Your Fault

[cricket3571]

I'm kinda slow getting started today but my motor is slowly starting to revvvv up... lol

Here is my Happy Flowers.

[tygerpaws11]

Man.... this is tough... kraft IS my signature move... just ask Toni (ravengirl) I'll think of somethin' after the block party and closet remodel are done

[fionna51]

[Crafty Math Chick]

Back! Decided that my 'brand' would be dogs and Christmas - since I love dogs images and I love making Christmas cards.

Here it is - hope you like it!

Thanks for the fun challenge!

[newstampinaddict]

Here is my brand... as I know it for today

[smadson]

Here is my card. I guess my brand is embossing. I in particular do a lot of dry embossing!
Thank you for the challenge. I think this may be last one. Too many things keep happening. I begun uploading this hours ago, and then got interrupted. So just now getting back into my craft room. Oh well. You hostesses have had some great challenges, and have really loved the theme. Maybe I can get back on it tomorrow.

[evasempermom]

Monkeys this particular monkey if I am at a loss for an idea for a card the monkeys are a tried and true standby I have LOTS of Changito

I also tend do do a lot of RED in my cards and Ribbon lol
This was probably one of the easiest challenges for me

[tygerpaws11]

Ok, I found my "alternate" brand... I call it Die-Cut Coffee Kraft
