A Merry Christmas

Happy Thursday everyone. I'm sharing  my latest Christmas card on the 7kids challenge blog  today.

I used the Sweet Peppermint papers by Prima to make this card.  Along with the chipboard and flowers that are in the collection.  I also used the new border edgers from Penny Black.

The stamped sentiment comes from Mama Elephants "Meowy- Woofmas stamp set.

Halloween Costume

Hi everyone!  I believe that like humans, even cell phone's like to play dress up every once in a while and with Halloween coming up I decided to make my cell phone a costume.

I have a clear cell phone case so I can make my own covers.  I used some papers from the Mysterious Halloween 6x6 Paper Pad by Authentique.  

and bits and pieces of left over ribbons and BAM!!!! there's my cell phone's Halloween Costume :) 

Very fun and easy to make.  Speaking of making something, have you entered our challenge at the 7kids challenge blog yet? if not you have plenty of time to do so.  You can get more info HERE
Thanks for stopping by today and Happy crafting :)

Love

Hi everyone, today's post is all about love!!! I love my new cell phone and A Day in May papers by Pion Design.  If you hurry now you can get this lovely paper before it is all gone because it's on clearance at the 7kids store.
 I know it's a little early for Valentines day but it is fast approaching and when I think of Valentines day I always think of beautiful vintage papers like this.  Since I got a new phone cover that was clear I decided to make my own phone cover design to have for the up coming holiday.  I really like how it turned out. I can't wait to make more.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!!!!

There is no right or wrong way, as long as you are using the Unscripted Sketch as the inspiration and basis of your creation!

My card

Art Chix Self portrait

    I was browsing through my favorite blogs and came across two challenges that I had to do. The first challenge comes from a Art Chix club that I am in over at  ISC.  The challenge was to make a self portrait in the Art Chix style.  The second challenge was to follow your Muse which  comes from Frilly and Funkie.  These two challenges go quite well together.  My Muse was telling me to create something for fun. When I get stuck in the same old groove and am having trouble coming up with ideas, I always go to the whimsically fun Art Chix style. It helps me think outside the box and it's so much fun to do. Here's what I created. It makes me smile :)  I hope it makes you smile too.

Inspired By Summer Distress

The challenge at Simon Says Stamp &Show is: Inspired by summer distress.(Tim Holtz distress trio  Mowed Lawn, Picked Raspberry, and Salty Ocean). Here is the card I made.

Get crafty with canvas

The challenge over at  Frilly and Funkie  is to use canvas on your project.  I love the look that canvas gives. I had just made a Christmas card with it so I thought I'd make another card for this challenge. 

Once again I embossed the canvas and rubbed ink on the raised parts. This is one of my favorite techniques. I will for sure be using it again and again.
