Everything but the Kitchen Sink

I stumbled across this blog recently! It is hilarious! It is a challenges blog that incorporates every day things into your project. I think the last one was incorporating toilet paper! It was so great to see what all the people came up with. It was too late for me to participate in that challenge [...]

SPCC / Taylored Expressions

Today, I made a card inspired by the SPCC Color Challenge and Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge. I love challenge blogs. They really help me gain insight and inspiration with my projects. I am still such a newbie, I need all the help I can get. I wish I had a crafting network here locally because [...]

Jugs Take 2 / SPCC

Now, don’t act surprised! I told you I was going to make another card for the JUGS Challenge!! I absolutely did not care for my first one… I used the SPCC color challenge for my color inspiration. I inked up my embossing folder for a different affect. I heat embossed the umbrella…. And look at [...]

JUGS Technique Challenge

 

 
Wow! 3 posts in one day! I guess that is what happens when you have a sick little boy at home.. Craft away while he naps. We have been homebound since Friday and I am shocked to say that I am not climbing the walls yet. Usually, I get stir crazy! I hope we are [...]

Card Patterns Sketch Challenge

So, for this challenge, I fumbled big time. I made one card, didn’t like it so made another and didn’t like that one either!! Has that ever happened to you? My mojo is just tapped I guess…. But, I do love my stamp set, can’t you tell? Made 3 cards today all using the same [...]

Taylored Expressions

Last night, I finished up all 12 Tucked Away templates for my mom. I snapped a picture of all of them and will share them in another post later today. I would appreciate any feedback. I was struggling how to make each one different. I kept running out of ideas for the front flap… Grr… [...]
