Happy Hello

Hi Everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Ours was fabulous and I was very sad to see it end!! I am happy to say I took my test on Saturday, so I no longer need to study, which is just fabulous because it means I have more time to craft! Yippee!!
Ok, so I found a ton of challenges that I wanted to participate in today. I'm not sure exactly when I started chasing challenges again; but I've definitely been bitten by the bug once more!
Since there are so many of them, I'm going to go ahead and start the list. Have a great afternoon, everyone!

1. Crafty Card Makers: Water Technique (I water brushed ink across water colored paper for the Red, Blue and Green background pieces.)

2. Cupcake Craft Challenge: Things you find on a farm. (ok, so this one might be a stretch; but I think you can find a basket of apples on a farm. Can't you??! LOL!)

3. Paper Playtime: Use a Digi (I hope I did this one right. I used an image from Guylou's Inimitability)

4 SCS Technique Lover's Challenge: Heat embossing on dry embossing

5. Totally Stampalicious: Create a "just because" card. No particular occasion

6. Sweetest Thing: Sketch

7. Corrosive Challenge: Button it up

8. Crafty Ho's: No patterned paper

Warm Fuzzies

Hi Everyone!

Once again I am caught behind schedule, so I am just going to post this very quickly and list the challenges that I am entering it into.

One other quick note. I have started a new blog, called "Interpretations of this Crazy Life" It's brand new and just a hodge podge really of random subjects that pop into my head. Everything from TV, to politics, and parenting. There is no crafting on it; but I would love for you to take a look at it and let me know that you think. New followers would be awesome there also!

Ok, so here's the list of challenges.


365 Cards: Use yellow and make it cheery
Cooking it up with Katie: Use a current sketch, add some texture, and finish with a punch
Creative Inspirations: Buttons and Bows
Fab n Funky: Use a Digi (I chose one from Priscilla Styles)
Inky Impressions: Emboss
Tuesday Morning Sketches: Sketch #78

Follow Your Heart Mojo

Hi Everyone!

Here is my card for yesterday's Mojo Moday sketch. This sketch was super easy and I decided to use pattern papers to help it come together fairly quickly. The papers are from Cosmo Cricket's "Wanted" 6 x6 pad. I paired them with Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow and some beige paper. The sentiment is from Whimsical Words (SU)

I know this is a pathetically small post; but I don't know really how much more can be said about this one! LOL!!

I scrolled the list of challenges over at Feline Playful and found that this card fits a couple of current challenges:

1. Mojo Monday: sketch
2. Stamp Fairy: Circles
3. Woodware USA: Anything goes
4. Craft your Passion: Use 2 pattern papers

Hi all!

I am here super quickly this afternoon to post my card. It is almost time to pick up the kids from school; but I wanted to get this up for you. I have been so busy studying for a big test I have to take on Saturday. Good gravy, I will be so happy when that silly thing is over!!
Anyhow, my card today was inspired by K. Werner's Finally Friday card. I just absolutely adored what she did with the buttons!
I used Really Rust for my background and some pattern papers from the Sasha Collection from Prima Marketing. The buttons are just random ones that worked with the paper and colors!
Anyhow, I hope you like it. I am off; but will be out wandering through blogland a bit later. After all, I am going to need a study break, or two....or three!!
Have a great afternoon!
