It's a long one...

I'm back... with a vengeance! I've been extremely sick, the dog got neutered, we went out of town and we're having a house guest this weekend... So, crafting has taken a backseat, until today!

365' s

inspiration:
My take:

My husband looked at me like I was nuts when he saw this one... whatever. It's bizarre and I don't really care. I do feel like I whipped through some of these just to catch up!

Paper and parrot are from DCWV Animal Crackers
Cosmo Cricket letters
Inkadinkado butterfly stamp and crayola colored pencils

the card:

This one is for a lot of challenges... Again, I am obsessed with catching up!

Here we go:

365 cards ~ 144 layers (pop dotted circle, I didn't glue down the leaves, brads and distressing on the strips)

Mojo Monday ~ sketch above

Lili of the valley ~ use animals (owl)

Rubbernecker stamps ~ circles (main circle and brads)

Pink Elephant ~ animals

Paper Bloom ~ animals

Heart Hugs ~ etsy inspired, see the pin cushion above (I found this one afterward, but thought the paper went perfectly!)

Supplies:

owl and flower paper ~ DCWV Green stack (my new fave... love the wonky eyes on the owl!)

brads ~ we r memory keepers

random cardstock

ooh... and I used my new Tim Holtz edge distresser. A lovely time saver!




#143

365's challenge was to create a sympathy card without a sentiment on the outside.

Stampin' B's just wants to use a butterfly (easy enough)

The paper is DCWV luxury stack and I used my new Heidi Swapp butterfly masks.



Twilight...

365 was to be inspired by Twilight (movie or books) and you had to use a black card base, red patterned paper and bling or sparkles.

I am an avid reader, but have managed to stay away from Twilight. Not really my cup of tea... different strokes for different folks, I guess.

So, I had to do some research and found this quote online. It's from one of the books, I think.

Paper is Autumn Leaves "Pretty Poppies" collection. This has been in the clearance section at Michael's for the last few weeks. Oh, and all the brads are We R Memory Keepers. My husband made a comment that I'm never going to use up all my brads (I have a ridiculous amount), so I've set out to prove him wrong!





365 sketchy Sunday

My take:

I got a bridal shower invite in the mail today and I promptly dismantled it! lol. So, the drinks are from the invite (should be a good shower). The background paper is from the DCWV animal crackers stack and the rub on is Anna Griffin.

I thought this would be a great Christmas card for some of my Fl. friends.

Truly Scrumptious sketch

My take:

Sorry the pic is blurry. It's for a couple challenges, again:

Truly Scrumptious ~ sketch

365 ~ use paint ( the background is completely painted and inked and I dry brushed over cuttlebug embossed paper)

Pile It On ~ use orange on the majority of your card.

Ooh, did I tell you guys I finally got a Cuttlebug?? I also got a bunch of fiskars plates and have been going nuts!! I LOVE BIRTHDAYS! and it's not even here yet!


Last one...

This one is just paper piercing for 365. You can't tell, but it is pierced around the bird. I used my Heidi Swapp masks again and a Cuttlebug folder. This was a throw together, but I kind of like it.

If any of you are still reading, thanks! Have a great night. I vow never to get this behind again. It stresses me out!


Oh, and here's a video of the dog with his collar on after his surgery. Awesome!
