I haven't blogged in a while I know. Sorry about that. There have been a few things on my mind lately and bloggin hasn't been one of them. Anywho, I made this card for the Moxy Fab World Wood you challenge. I thought it turned out pretty cute myself. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by!
Okay I made this layout today based on the challenge over at Random Chaos today. I love how it turned out but I broke 2 needles while doing the stitching. Super cute Little Yellow Bicycle products on this. TFL!
So I have a tendency not to read the rules correctly. I know, DUH! Anyways for the Moxie Fab challenge the stitching was to be a focal point of the card. My card didn't particularly follow that. So I made another one. I found a stamp at JoAnn's yesterday and they were 40% off so I grabbed it and immediately knew what I wanted to do with it. Here is what I made. I stitched over the image and put jewels where needed. I posted it last night in time for the contest deadline. I really like how it turned out. Hope you all are having a great and wonderful day!
Okay so I have had the elements of this card sitting on my desk waiting for me to create it. I just was stuck and could not put it together. However, when I saw the sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You this week, it was just what I needed! So I put it together and voila!
Well it's obvious I haven't posted in a while. Sorry about that. OH and all those who won cards a very LONG time ago, they are stamped and on their way to the Post office this week promise. My sweet Sarah has been asking me to make her a card. So I did this little number for her today. I say little as it is a 3x3 inch card. I haven't given it to her just yet, I want to write something in it for her. The paper is Bella Blvd, and the stamps are from the wonderful dollar bins at Michaels by Studio G. Fun huh! Later!
Okay so my friend Tania is teaching an online class with a really great message. Here are the details.
In Loving Memory by Tania Willis
April 9 - May 7
During this 5-week course (one session per week) Tania will help spur you on to create an album dedicated to a loved one you have lost, all the while encouraging you to be gentle on yourself through the process. She will provide prompts and challenges to help you get your thoughts in order and onto the page, as well as suggestions for selecting photos and how to overcome the dilema of not having many photos at all. In addition, page sketches will be offered and a variety of embellishment techniques will be taught along the way. There's no better way than to complete a treasured project than in the company of a supportive teacher who is on her own journey of remembrance after losing her mom very suddenly and unexpectedly the summer of 2007. “It’s scrapbooking as a healing therapy, not just art.”
