This week just flew!

This week of 'vacation' just flew by! I did some quality crafting, had fun with my son, spent a day with my hubby, AND made this final card!

This one is for three challenge: The Pink Elephant #136, the deconstructed sketch #40, and By LORi Designs #25. They are two inspiration challenges and a sketch challenge!



Have a nice weekend!

Getting punchy!

Well, not really....
I don't own many punches, but I have a Cricut that is a very expensive paper weight!

As you saw this past week, I made a card for Paola's Punch swap over on SCS. Well, she has started her own little challenge within the thread and this week wanted to see "negativity."

I couldn't figure out a way to use my actual punches, but I do have the Going Places cartridge for my expensive paper weight! So, here is my way of using negative space.



I will admit that this is going to Paola along with my swap cards because it is the perfect little 6X6 page for her! She loves to camp and takes many pictures, so she can add a picture to the top and journal on the kraft tag!

SOTC for March

Lorie asked use to create a card that featured "Things that Fly". Her first thought, and mine, was a kite! Luckily I have this digi stamp and sentiment by Deedee's Digi (she is designing here now)! The papers are DCWV and all card stock was from my scrap pile(s). Candi Dots are in the corners!

Oi Vay!

My arm was twisted and I joined a swap using punches....let me tell you, I am NOT creative! Well, in the punch world anyhow.
So, I surfed the web and got some ideas and that started me planning for this card. That was months ago....today, I finally have a card (well, 6 of them) I am sending to Paola.



Just the house opens and it is a pretty basic card....lol
I used a scallop border punch, MS icicle punch(might be grass, after all this I don't remember) and a flower punch from SU!

Hope you like it....

Did you see that Pink Elephant?

Neither did I!
But, I stopped over at the Pink Elephant Challenge Blog this week for a little inspiration!
Yep, you know what comes next.....here's my card!



I made a 4inch square card. Candi dots in the corners, flowers from Michael's, Verve sentiment, and designer card stock by My Mind's Eye (Dilly Dally).

Let's do "WHEEL"ies

No, I haven't lost my mind....and, I am not getting on a bike and popping one!

I am using some pearls and crystals that I got out of my cool wheels available over at the Can You Digi It? store. I need to get this posted, so will add my watermark tomorrow when I can actually get to the computer! {Apologies Michelle....I am running late due to the creeping crud invading our house!}

Here is my card ~ I followed the sketch at Mojo Monday #228!



And, here is a close up of the pearls and crystals! They are the same shade do green, although it is hard to tell in my photos.



Let me tell you, I don't care how many it says are in these wheels, there are millions! I know because I had the pleasure of picking up one color after dropping them all over my desk! BUT, I used a product called Embellie Gellie (found here) that helped immensely! Please, use it....I cannot rave enough about it. Besides helping to clean up my mess, I use it for perfect placement!

Card details:
Base and kraft card stock by a*muse
Embossing folder by Cuttlebug ~ Scrollwork
Brad, DP and cream card stock from my scrap pile
Flowers by Prima
Pearls and Crystals by Zva at Can You Digi It?
