dream big...

Hey all!

For this weeks Taylored Expression sketch and Daring Cardmakers challenge

 Supplies: Websters Pages "Postcards from Paris", white cardstock, Sakura Souffle white pen, unknown brand metal.

I don't know if you can tell, but the metal embellishment has "dream big" written on it...it was rather hard to get a good pic of it.

I found out from browsing around card challenges, that there is an actual definition for scraplings...well, kinda. You see, I thought they were just cards in the dimension of the above scrapling...oh well.

Today is a big day for my younger sister - she's starting volleyball with the local homeschool group. All I can say is this is going to be pretty interesting....;)

Anyways, thanks for stopping by and taking time to leave a comment! :

A Message for You

Hey again!

Only a small project today, but it comes with a tutorial! :)

My little sour cream container with yummy Starburst's inside...

Supplies: K&Company "Berry Sweet", Stampin Up! white cardstock, Sugarloaf stamp, Scrappy Cat ink, ribbon

Made for Stampin' B's challenge, Whimsy Stamps challenge, Pollycraft challenge, and also for my friends over at Simply Scrapping.

It was fun making, but rather difficult to photograph...this picture does it justice...I think...I hope...;)

Here is the short and easy tutorial over at my tutorial blog....let me know if it's too confusing or you find some mistakes. Hopefully I got it all in. :)

Another thing I want to talk to you about, is there any other projects or techniques you would like to see me write a tutorial on? I'm sure I can think of some, but I'm doing it for you, so it really wouldn't make any sense if you're never going to use the tutorial...you know what I mean?

Anyways, thanks for stopping by!

Hello again! Posting from my friends house...babies asleep, toddlers with friends...all is quiet. :)

So, now for a card I made for Simply Scrappings card challenge, Kaboodle Doodles, Three Clovers Designs, AND Limelight challenge. Yep, still hungry for challenges!

Supplies: Cosmo Cricket "Earth Love", white cardstock, chipboard, scrap paper, American Crafts rub on, Sakura Souffle white pen.

I've really been starting to use this line a lot more, so beware! ;) Next time I post I'll have an elegant birthday card for you....here's a sneak peek..

One of the twins just woke up, so I guess that;s the end of this post....thanks for stopping by!

P.S; if you need help stitching your cards, this may be able to help! ;)

Jammin' challenges

Hello all!
Jamming more challenges together today. It's been so long since I've participated (camera problems), it seems I just can't get enough challenges! :)

So, for this weeks SSPC color challenge, Card Patterns sketch, Color Throwdown AND Our Creative Corners photo inspiration, I present to you...

Supplies: Cosmo Cricket "Earth Love", cardstock, brads, brown ink, Sugarloaf stamp

Just a little something I put together...I'm trying to think of a name for this size card (I've done several of them), since the scraplings seem to be a big hit...

Anyways, just wanted to let you know that you might not be seeing me from Tuesday afternoon till Saturday evening, as I'm going over to help a friend with her twins, who were born in July. She's already got two rowdy little girls, a three year old and four year old, so she's going to need all the help she can get! Hopefully I can post pictures of the cuties when I get back...who knows how long the camera will last? ;)

P.S, DT gals, LOVE this color combo! CP gals, I just wanted to let you know you're my favorite sketch site to go to...sketches that don't limit my creativity by being too busy. Thanks!
