Welcome...
So glad you chose to stop by!
I hope to use this blog to share some of my handmade cards as well as some of my scrapbook pages and maybe a few pics here and there that may or may not make it to a scrapbook page.
Scrapping for me is simply a fun hobby that I don't do often enough. More often than not, I'm a collector of all things scrap... i.e. tools, paper, embellishments...
Now to become motivated... Maybe this blog is just the way to do it...
Enjoy and come back SOON!
My friends and I are loving our personal challenges to each other. We decided to do a card based on a predefined sketch. The sketch we used is CPS #38. You can find this and many more sketches on the Card Positioning System website... Here's my take... My girlfriends Carol, Karen, and Juliet also came up with some beautiful creations.
This challenge was fun... Loved playing with my Heidi Swap Bling and my Stickles...
The CPS sketch is below...
On to the next challenge... Oh yeah got to get to the rest of those bday cards too...
Enjoy...
The chorus to one of those oldies but goodies was playing in my head, so I turned it into a birthday card...
So far I've achieved a 100% success rate on my goal to make all of my birthday cards this year. I've got a few more for November, but I'll get them done.
Here's a card that I made for my cousin. I hope she likes it... And I hope she understands that I didn't know that the teal thread would blend w/ the paisley print so much that it would barely be noticeable... *** Note to self *** - Sewing enhances... Get darker / heavier thread for future stitching jobs... *** End Note *** Oh well, she's got great eyes, the stitching will be obvious to her...
On to the next group of cards.. Enjoy...
Well, I was slow to join the Criss Cross Craze, but alas, I'm here! I didn't want to do a criss cross card, but I didn't want to pass on the challenge issued by my friend Karen. I'm sure this is the first challenge of many. Albeit, I got to this point kicking and screaming, I admit that I had a great time with this challenge. I will definitely do more cards like this...
So Karen, here it is... On to the next challenge...
Enjoy...
...and make it chartreuse... Here's a nice friendship/birthday card that I made. I love brown mixed with just about any bright color; hence my choice of the green/brown paper and the flower. The paper is from CTMH and the flower is Petaloo. I also made a matching envelope. Enjoy...
