Title: Stamping Journey
Hostess: Michele - delfinaus
Keyword: JUN12VSNF
Day/Date: Saturday, June 16th
Time: 2:00pm EST

For this challenge I want to focus on your stamping journey. I often look back at my cards and sometimes am shocked at how terrible they look, or other times I am pleasantly surprised. It is also interesting to see what the latest craze was at the time in the stamping world.

Go back through your SCS gallery or blog, and select a card to recreate.

Consider the following:
What were you thinking??? ( I ask myself that A LOT, when I look back to my first cards).
What would you do differently?
Why did you change it?

When you link up your new card to this thread, make sure to also provide a link to the older card you made over! It would be fun for us to compare the two!

My card below, is a revamp on this previously made card, which I personally think is just hideous...
Click HERE to go to my blog and see the original card. - I honestly don't know what I was thinking!

I wanted to keep the felt sticker embellishment, and three types of different papers. Instead of keeping all three squares, which was a difficult scheme for me, I altered the layout a bit, but kept it to 3 different papers along with the embellishment!

Here is my new card

Have fun ladies

I did have fun with my "redo". Love the mft vanity license plate die-namics! I looked on line for other unique/clever configurations. Some that I found are a little scary--

A very fun challenge.
I have thought it would be fun to go back and redo some of my cards.

I really like how this one turned out.

I loved this one! It was really fun looking back.

Here is my original card (probably made for a set sampler when I was an SU demo.)

Here is my re-make.

Here is my original card, which I didn't like the layout of (that ribbon looks unfinished and those boxes are too small!): FEB10VSNL Just Scored for You by JadeOnline - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Here is my new card, which I like much better: Up Up and Away by JadeOnline - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I hear you on the embarassing end! I can't believe some of my cards! EEK!

UnderstandBlue · 06-16-2012, 04:57 PM

I'm afraid to click on that last page - LOLOLOL!!!

bensarmom · 06-17-2012, 06:43 AM

Oh my I guess the only good thing that comes from this is that you can see improvement.........what an embarrassment. Old card.
New and improved card.

saffivort · 06-17-2012, 10:30 AM

Here's my Do Over card for this challenge! I have many "what was I thinking?" cards in my gallery, which kind of makes me think I have definitely improved over the years!

Anyways, TFL, Vannessa

I'm sure there are a lot of cards in my gallery that should be redone, but I actually did a more colorful redo of a monochromatic card that I kind of liked.

smadson · 06-17-2012, 06:07 PM

Here is my card! The old one is here. I think it is about one of the ugliest cards I have ever made!

The new one is here.

Thank you for the challenge to recreate a better one!
