Ripped and Torn Heart

This card plays two roles – it fulfills the Colour Challenge and Ways to Use It Challenge on SCS this week.
First, the colours – Kiwi Kiss, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Sun. These colours together are amazing!
Second, the Ways to Use It Challenge was to be frugal and use a frugal find embellishment.
The card base is [...]

Buggy Madness

I was talking to a lady I’d met late last year about booking an upcoming workshop and she mentioned that she had a little boy two weeks ago. Well, that certainly deserves a card!
When I saw the Sketch Challenge on SCS this week, I thought it would make a perfect baby card.
I started with a [...]

Hi Friend

I held a Super Sizzix Class last week and would love to share with you one of the projects!
This card was inspired by a colour combo I used for one of my brother’s birthday cards a while back – Taken with Teal, Real Red, Kiwi Kiss and Basic Black.
I wanted to show how you can [...]

Friends Forever

 

This week’s Featured Stamper Challenge on SCS was awesome. There were so many choices to choose from and you must check out Jami’s Blog – she rocks!
I used this card from Jami’s gallery as my inspiration. I just loved the layout.
Looking through all the goodies I have, I’ve realized that I just have too much [...]

It’s All Food!

Last night, I held a Stamp-A-Stack for a group of Pampered Chef consultants. This event was booked a while back and the only stipulation was that all the cards were to be thank yous and contain food-like items.
At first, I was a little freaked out as I didn’t think I really had many stamps that [...]

Bobble Head Buddy

Today I helped out a friend by babysitting her little one for the day. WOW. I forget sometimes what its like to have a wee one with you all day. I was totally looking forward to it, but needed to sneak in a bit of crafting before I went!
I was inspired by two challenges – [...]

Fun with New Goodies!

This week’s sketch challenge on Our Creative Corner came just in time. I recently got the stamp set, Man’s Best Friend and really wanted to use it.
I started with a colour combo that I’ve been wanting very much to try. I was at a friend’s house and she painted her son’s room in colours resembling [...]

Feeling Faithful

I was contacted by a friend who’s church is doing a silent auction to raise money for a new teen program. Usually, I donate a gift certificate or something that can be redeemed but this time I thought I’d make something tangible so I decided to try my hand at making a prayer journal.
Now, I’ve [...]

A Wild Afternoon of crafting!

Last weekend I ran a Kids Valentine’s Day Class. Above you’ll see the cards we made. As you’ll notice, they are quite simple but keep in mind, each child made 30!
Here is how things were set up:
Each child arrived (with parent supervision – this was a must at this class) and received three packages. In [...]

A Treat Pouch with Punch!

On our 3D Design Challenge blog, Pam and I posted a great hanging heart template and, for my second sample, I decided to try to make one using my punches.
My starting point was the Colour Challenge on SCS this week – Pink Pirouette, Perfect Plum and Kiwi Kiss.
Here is what I did:

I started with a [...]
