cwc014 ~ bling it up!

Okay so those of you that know me ~ know that I do not like anything shiny especially in my craftroom.

So when I first saw the challenge over at CAS~tastic was to "bling it up" I thought I would skip the challenge this week. Well you now me I can't walk away so decided to give it a shot.

As you can see I added just a tad touch of bling to my little card, along with a few of my favorite things which are handmade wrinkle ribbon and handmade satin flowers.

I took the following picture on my drive up to my sisters house. They had a 30 mile detour which took me through rows and rows of corn and sunflower fields. Well I just had to take a picture. Don't mind my picture it is not the best but I had to use my cell phone to take the photo.

Enjoy!

you make life sweet

"summer time and the living is easy"

The challenge over at CAS~tastic this week is to make a summery card and to me nothing says summer more than bright colors and watermelon.

This is a little 4.25" square card that I added a swiss dots embossed piece to, tied on some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon in a bright pink, and then added some may arts ribbon. I cut out the sentiment (impression obsession) using my nestability tag die. The watermelon slice is a basicgrey "woolie" that I cut down. 

ENJOY!

happy birthday ~ sugar stick

I just re-read my title and it makes me laugh. I have a couple of cards to share with you today and both cards were created using the nestabilites "labels eight" largest die. I just love this little shaped card.

Okay, my first card is for this weeks challenge over at CAS~tastic and this weeks challenge was to use Kraft anyway, anyhow.

This next card is for Papertrey Paper Dolls and this week it was a sketch challenge.

Enjoy! Have a great day!
