Thank You Cards

At The Sisterhood of Crafters our challenge is to use STRIPED PAPER on your project. This is a very quick and easy set of Thank You cards that I made and they all feature the same striped paper. I didn't even use a stamp, the sentiments are all rub ons. Doesn't get much easier than that.

Check out what the other sisters created for their striped creation at The Sisterhood of Crafters, then join us with your own striped project.

In Love with Valentines

I have been sooooo bad about posting lately. I didn't even post the last challenge I did with The Sisterhood of Crafters. A lot has been going on here. My sister's husband passed away suddenly on January 4th and was one of the toughest times I've been through in a long time. Now the kids have been out of school for 2 weeks due to the snow storms we have had and well I'm about to lose my mind! Not that I had much to begin with anyways. ; )

Ok enough of my ramblings and on with the challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters. The challenge is "In Love with Valentines", any project that is Valentine related. Should be pretty easy with Valentine's right around the corner.

I know this picture looks big but the card is actually a 3x3. These are so fun, quick and easy to make.

Now see what the Sisters did for the Valentine project and then enter your own creation in on the challenge.

SSDS - Spring Card

Last week Austin had strep then this week the stomache bug. It's so hard to watch your kids be sick and you can't fix it. : ( It's Saturday morning and Austin is feeling much better today. Kids sure bounce back quicker than us adults.

Ok so this week at Scrap, Stamp and Doodle Saturday challenge blog is a very easy challenge. Just make a Spring themed card. We've had fog the last week or so and rain today so thinking about spring is nice. My card is a 3x3 that I ended up using in a swap. The patterned paper is from Sassafrass.

See the other DT's creations over at SSDS and then enter your own spring card. This week's sponsor is Revidevi and if you are the winner you have your choice of one of her digi stamp sets.

Cards and Altered Matchbox

This is some of the Blog RAK stuff I sent out to the ladies who signed up for it about a month ago. They should have all received their stuff by now so I won't be spoiling any of the surprise for them. I made these cards and the altered match box out of this really fun paper pack I bought at the garage sale from the LSS were I teach. I did really well and sold $212 myself and then only spent about $42 in buying other people's stuff. So I still came out ahead! There wasn't a ring on this girl's finger on this image. The way she is holding her hand and then the other two looking right at it, I thought it needed to be her showing them a ring. I just popped a small piece of bling on there and ta-da it looks like it was suppose to be that way. I used Copics to color both of these images.

This is just a little 3x3 card. These are so fun to make. Isn't this scooter too cute?!

Believe!

These are some 3x3 cards I did for a swap on CafeMom. These are suppose to be Christmas but didn't come out very Christmasy. I embossed the "Believe".

Stay tuned . . . I will be revealing my new scrap space very soon!!! It is sooooo exciting. Well, it is for me anyways! hehe I'm going to try and post the pics tomorrow. But here is one of the BEFORE pictures.

Isn't this scary!!! I was going to post it for Halloween but I was afraid I would frighten the children. ; )

3x3 Cards with Distressed Embossing & Dew Drops

These are a couple of 3x3 cards that I made for a swap on CafeMom. On the owl is a stamp that I embossed with Tim Holtz distressed embossing powder. It's a little hard to tell but the embossing powder is not smooth, it has a rough texture which is different from your regular embossing powder. It gives a different look to it, a little more distressed. Hmmmm... maybe that's why he called "distressed" embossing powder. : ) I found these at Hobby Lobby and the reason I got them is was they were on clearance. I had no idea they were different than the other embossing powders until I used it. I found this website that explains more of about Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powders.

On the other card, I stamped the cat image and colored with colored pencils and softened it some by using a blender pen over it. I was able to use dew drops from Robin's Nest. I found these at my LSS and just had to buy a few bottles. I heard these called skittles and baubles too. This was the first time I used them and I really like the look. I adhered them with Glue Dots.

More 3x3 Cards

More 3x3 cards for my swap.

The bird is a stamp from CTMH "Free Spirit" one of my new ones. I used pop dots under the bird image and the stamped "Free Spirit". I really like how it turned out.
