Hero Arts Fox - Thinking of You

I've obviously flipped the sketch on this little Thinking of You card!  I paper-pieced this darling Hero Arts sleeping fox card from a Hero Arts Presents… a Sketch Challenge! and am also entering it in Simon Says Stamp, Anything Goes Challenge. I don't do a lot of paper-piecing because I find that it is difficult to use a crafting knife to remove the unwanted paper, but I thought this little fox deserved the extra attention!

Thanks for visiting. I don't have much crafting mojo, but I at least did this card! :-)

Kraft, Pink and White - Day 3 of Artful Delight's Birthday Celebration!

Well, it is  Day 3 of Artful Delight's Birthday Celebration!  For this challenge, you were to make a project with Kraft, Pink and White!  So, I whipped up a quick little butterfly card.  I left the inside blank so I could use it for a birthday card or a thank you card! It could also be a "cheer you up" card!

I had fun making projects for the birthday celebration!!

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Birthday in Denim and Stars

Here's a card I did for The Paper Variety's Star Studded Challenge!!  I made it out of felt, denim, a button and twine.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. Simple, but still cute, I thought... I'm also entering it at a new place (to me):  Scrappy Frogs Challenge.

Thanks for visiting! Have a great day!

Card for The Paper Variety

This card is for The Paper Variety's Tic Tac Toe !! :) challenge this week.





I chose the right column. The stamped image is from Hero Arts; it's a card, and I used a scallop punch and a scallop border punch... I must not be in the crafting mojo still, but I wanted to participate, so...

A little friendship card

We cleaned the house (or at least part of it this weekend)! It REALLY, REALLY needed it! My cleaning mojo killed my crafty mojo, but I wanted to at least participate in one challenge this weekend. So, I made this card!  The quote says "Friends fill your life with joy, your soul with sunshine, and your heart with love."  You know, all of the textures and varied patterns kind of represent a good friendship-you get the whole mix!!! I added staples because sometimes your friends help staple you together during the hard times!  It is for the Paper Variety's Friendship Challenge!

A Thank You Card and my 12 x 12 Paper Shelves

Here's a quick card I made using Old (American Crafts ribbon) and New (MME Whirly Bird and Basic Grey flower)for my friend Stacy's challenge at Sketches 4 All.

AND HERE are a couple of shots of the new paper shelf my husband made me as a Christmas gift.  He was sick all last week but toward the end he felt well enough to build this for me!!! Isn't he fantastic!! It has 81 slots I believe.  There are some larger ones toward the bottom in case I need them!!!! It looks wonky here because I didn't take the best photo, but wow!!!! What a present!!!!!! It would have cost quite a bit to buy the mdf shelves which aren't near as nice!!!!

Uptown Girl

Here's a little card I did for Fia's challenge at Sketches 4 All.

Vintage Home Collage

I was inspired by Amanda Jones over at The Studio to make this collage. I used 7 Gypsies Orchestra paper and rubbed some Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen over it.  I made my own flower and used a crochet flower made by my friend Mary--with a little of the distres ink rubbed on it to make it look a little older. The birds are from a lovely Cosmo Cricket paper pack--looks very vintage I thought.  The buttons ARE vintage, and I thought they all had something unique to offer to this collage! I don't know if this will go in a frame or what yet, but I thought it turned out ok.  I thought it would be good for Brenda's challenge for fall colors over at Sketches 4 All!
