Get Well

Hello All My Crafty Friends!!

 

I hope you all had a great weekend.

I am still recovering from my foot surgery.

I get my stiches out tomorrow, and will

be off of work for a few more weeks :)

 

I spent some time in my craft room today and

will be sharing 2 cards with you today.

 

Here is my first card.

 

 

 

I was inspired by this post on PINTEREST

I had just received some
October Afternoon buttons

that I got from PeachyCheap.com
and thought they would be perfect to
make a similar card.  The papers are from
My Mind's Eye and Webster's Pages.

The stamps for the pot and flower stems

are from Close to My Heart "With Love"

and "Botanicals Super Set".

I used Tim Holtz Distress ink in

Frayed Burlap, Peeled Paint,

 Broken China and Fired Brick.

The sentiment is from My Creative Time's

"Vintage Sentiments" set.

I added some twine to the buttons

and finished with a bow tied with

my new 3 Girl Jam Bow Maker!!

 

I will be entering this card into
the following challenges:
 

My Creative Time - Designer 1,2,3 Challenge

(use 1 bow, 2 pattern papers and 3 buttons)
 

Little Scrap Pieces - fun-friday-get-well-challenge

 

Forever and Always

Hello and Happy Thursday!!

I have a quick post today.

I made a quick card for a couple of challenges.

I made this card with scraps and pieces

that I had previosuly cut or embossed.

These were all sitting in my 'extras' drawer :)

 

 

 

The embossing folder is from Sizzix.  The hearts

were cut out using a Marvy Uchida punch.

 

 

The cute little tag and sentiment are from

My Craft Spot.  I added some decorative trim from

Webster's Pages and some Twine

I think I will give this card

to my hubby for our anniversay which is in a few weeks!!

 

 

I will be entering this into the following challenges:

My Craft Spot - #83 Bling it Up

For Someone Beary Special

Hello All My Crafty Friends!! 

It has been almost a month since my last post.

I finished my term on the

My Cricut Craft Room Design Team
and I decided to take a little break.

December and January are very
busy for me at work. 

I've missed you all and it feels good
to be in my craft room again!!

I have a cute little gift bag to share with you today.

I made this cute little gift bag for my daughter in law’s birthday present.  I started with a kraft gift bag.  All the paper I used is from a My Mind’s Eye 6x6 Paper Pad called Miss Caroline.  The first layer was embossed with a Sizzix folder called Cottage Style.  I inked it with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Tea Dye and Mustard Seed.  The next layer is a Spellbinders Curved Rectangles Dye, inked with Mustard Seed and Tea Dye Distress Ink.  The next layer is a Spellbinders Labels 10, inked with Dried Marigold Distress Ink.  And the cute little bear in her jammies is from the Peachy Keen January Stamp  of the month.  Her face is from the same stamp set.  Isn’t she just the cutest!!

Here is a close up of her cute little face.  I added some pink chalk to her cheeks as well as some freckles.  I also added glossy accents.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set, stamped onto another cut
from Spellbinders Labels 10.   I added a cute little button from
3 Girl Jam and some twine.  I also added some decorative trim from
Webster’s Pages to the top of the bag, a little bling from Recollections

 and I tied a bow with some crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl Jam.

I will be entering this into this week's Peachy Keen
