Another BBTB challenge...

Last week the challenge was to use the little banner cut off of the Celebrations cartridge. I did this little card with all Basic Grey. Loved creating the little baner... so fun.

I know I haven't been posting much lately, but it's for a fairly good reason. I've gotten into appliqueing shirts recently, and I'm thinking of starting up a little shop on Etsy with them... I'll post pictures next time. The only thing is I'm gonna need a name, and I'm not very good at things like that, so we'll see how that goes. I've already sold a few to some friends. Anyway, it's just another really fun way of being creative... and all that sewing on my cards has given me good experience.

Be back soon with picture of the shirts and some more cards!

I LOVE the fabric paper....

that Love, Elsie does!!! It's so great for adding a whole other dimension of texture to a project. And it also looks really cute to kind of fray out the edges, sew on it, etc.

This is just a quick card I made for my sister's birthday... I had to do something with this fabric paper! That cute little cupcake was cut out of some Luxe Designs paper and colored with watercolor pencils. I also really love the shape of this card... it's sort of a tri-fold card, just with one side longer and rounded.

Also, this is another card I made a few weeks ago... used some Making Memories 5th Avenue paper... This one was really fun to do. I cut those little flower like shapes out of some of the paper (6 of them), then cut about half way down in each crease so it could curl up a little. The stitching on this was fun too. And I love the little felt butterfly- Target in the dollar section!

Just had to share...

I was looking on flickr at craft rooms, when I stumbled across this. This room is sooooo saturated in color... it's beautiful! I don't think I've ever seen so many bright colors, and it still all works together. I absolutely love the orange on the walls! :)

I can't seem to get a few of the pictures on here... so I guess you'll have to go look- it's definitely worth it!

Challenge of the week..

...over at BBTB. We had to use the mug cut off of Christmas Cheer. I thought for a long time about how to use this and not make the card look too wintery, then I remembered this quote! I really had a lot of fun with this background... I was looking around on Two Peas the other day when I found this page, and I absolutely LOVED the background, so I had to use the same concept on a card. It was very time-consuming to cut apart, sew, and distress the edges of each little piece of this, but it turned out wonderful! Also, I got to get a few pieces of the beautiful Pink Paislee stuff the other day, and I love it!

Here it is...

Well here it is... I have actually been doing a little bit here and there. I've just been really busy. Still trying to learn everything about using my new camera, so the pictures aren't as good as they could be! These are actually all for Sketch This: Cards!

Coming soon...

I've really been bad about keeping this thing updated. I'm going to try to start being more consistent about posting things now, and hopefully I'll have something tomorrow.... :)
Check back soon!!!

some sketch this: cards stuff...

So sorry I haven't posted anything in forever, I've just been so busy.

This first card is something I did a few weeks ago for the Sketch This blog....

I used some of the new Basic Grey and a Hero Arts stamp. (I just love the birds, there are four of them!)

And this one was supposed to be for this week's sketch, but by the time I finished it last night, it was too dark for a picture :( , and Janelle had to post everything this morning. Hopefully, I'll actually get it done a few days in advance next time so I have plenty of time to take the picture. Also, this is Love, Elsie and some more BG. And that little line of text on the left side of the card, it says 'let it snow let it snow let it snow' with little snowflake in between each phrase.

And last, this is an altered soup can I did for Bitten by the Bug. For anyone that doesn't know, BBTB is Regina Easter's blog where she has different challenges each week- all involving the Cricut. This one was done with some more Love, Elsie.

Well, that's it for today! Hopefully I'll have more soon!
