It's challenge day at Tiddly Inks - and "Love is in the Air".... You just have to jump over to the Tiddly blog and check out all the gorgeous samples the design team has come up with... Oh my, these are some talented ladies!!! Here is my card for the week.... I used the adorable "You are on my mind" image. I think she is such a sweet image. I designed it for a young girl as it looks so sweet and innocent. And a second one I made this weekend just for fun... Thought I would pop it up here as well.... For this one I used one of the images from the "Kitty set" that has three adorable kitties that all work together. This is a simple one that came together very quickly... I would like to enter the top card in the following challenges: Make it Monday - Linky party Digital Tuesday - Hearts Party Time Tuesday - Love and romance Craft Room Challenge - Make you own embellishments Lexi's Creations - Valentine / Love
Ive had this tutorial bookmarked for a while but fancy giving it a go today and making some wrap skirts for me too. Im off to Spain next week and will be writing a piece about fabric shopping in Granada and Cordoba. As usual Purl Bee has super 'makes' so check it out! Wrap skirts…
It's Tiddly Tuesday and that mean's it's time for another great challenge! This one is a struggle for some of us (those who "never know when to stop") because the challenge is "Clean and Simple" - not a normal style for most of the girls on this design team - including me! But a lot of Christy's images lend well to this design principal because they so easily stand on their own without a ton of embellishing! I used this adorable image called "Wryn - Grow a little love" and it was perfect for this simple card. The only thing it needed was some embossed papers and a couple of scraps cut into banner shapes. Simple, but lovely! Now it's your turn... I want to see what you can do with clean and simple. Does it come easy? I would like to enter this card into the following challenges: Make it Monday - linky party Papertake Weekly - anything goes Twisted Tuesday - spring into green Creative Craft Challenges 2 - Mom's Day CRAFT Challenge - use embossing Crafty Bloggers Network - spring or pastel Totally Gorjuss - anything goes with pink Craft Us Crazy - anything goes
Hi peeps…ah, it’s Wednesday, half-way through the week. This is a really crazy week for me….sometimes on the life-train, I just want to say “STOP! I want to get off for a while!” LOL! Not much stamping time, but I did have a little time to make a CAS masculine card for two challenges: The Kraft Journal’s Make It Monday (to use a diecut) and Less Is More’s masculine challenge. So here we go: I used a Crumb Cake base and some Authentique papers; the Chalk Talk image is stamped in Midnight Muse, although it looks black on these papers! I used the Chalk Talk die as well as a cowboy hat die from My Favorite Things: and some denim ribbon and a couple of candy dot brads to tie it all together! I thought it looked a little bare, so I added some jean-style stitching: Done! Have an awesome day! Cassidy: “Look, Grammy, I’m juggling!” LOL…I think she needs a wee bit more practice!
Happy Motivation Monday! Getting adjusted to law school is a learning curve. While it may have its difficulties and challenges, there are invaluable lessons in every mistake you make on your law school journey. Always remember that each mistake is an opportunity to learn, grow and improve.
I added a bit of shimmer tulle behind this but the shimmer doesn't show in the photo. Make It Monday #86: The Inside Edition T...
I didn't have the re-inkers, but I remembered a video that Jennifer Maguire did not too long ago. The Ranger Texture paste will take the color so I used mini inker tools to color the paste after t was dry. Some of it got on the paper, but I didn't mind that. I think it is not as crisp, but still quite pretty.
new day, new week , and a new opportunity to make something special happen !!
Happy Wednesday, everyone! Are you staying warm? Boy, it’s cold out there! I spent some time in my craft room recently making a little “love” banner with the new Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, which is a really cool little tool. What do you think: I have wanted to make one of these for a long time and I don’t know why I never did!!! I began by punching out four 4” tags from Real Red cardstock; the tags have to be no larger than 2” wide in order to fit into the punch. I also cut some tags from Modern Medley designer paper, trimming them to 1 7/8” by 3 7/8” before centering them in the punch. I layered them on top of the cardstock tags; the holes will not line up perfectly, but there is a small opening that is large enough to thread some ribbon or seam binding through. I used a bunch of vintage-imaged SU sets and stamped them right on the Modern Medley DP in shades of gray, black and red, then stamped my Morning Post letters and mounted them on Basic Black Artisan Label punchouts. Here they are a wee bit closer: The Kraft Journal’s Make It Monday challenge is “Lace it Up”, so I added ribbon, embossed and sponged hearts, seam binding, rhinestones and taffeta flowers in addition to my lace!!! (But oops...I forgot you need to use KRAFT, which I didn't...so maybe I should make another?) I added a piece of black scored cardstock running horizontally on the back of the tags to give them some sturdiness and finished it with some wide black grosgrain ribbon! Sweet! Cassidy made a suncatcher with some crafty stuff she received for Christmas: I am going to run out of crafts soon! She LOVES to do crafts! Enjoy your day!

This week's Make it Monday is a really cool one - the talented Heather Nichols has a tutorial about cluster stamping - I just love how this came out: You start with the sentiment - stamp it with Versamark and clear emboss it. Then you take small stamps and cluster them around the sentiment. Easy peasy...... Mounted the white cardbase onto a green card. The colors I took from the Cupcake Inspirations challenge And the lay out I got from this weeks CASE this Sketch I am also linking this card with Seize the Birthday - anything Birthday Materials: all stamps by Papertrey - Polka Dot Basics, Sketched Shapes, Reasons to Smile
