A SISTER CHALLENGE


I have a new card for you today that is totally different than the cards I usually make.  My beautiful sister Rebecca (Sydney's Sentiments) has issued a challenge for me and our cousin Candy (Candy Scraps).  Rebecca had a thought to try to use something that she doesn't care for much and that is sequins.  I have never used them either.  She sent some to me and Candy and has asked us to use them in at least two different projects.  

So this is my first one.  We all need birthday cards on hand so I thought to make a birthday card.  I put my focal in the top center then scattered some sequins onto it.  The only ones staged are attached to the sentiment.  It only took a few minutes to make but took forever on the idea.  I used a card from Sarah Moerman at Simon Says Stamp as an inspiration.  Hope you all like it.

Recipe:

Paper - Simon Says, generic
Sentiment - Simon Says, Stampendous
Sequins - Got them from my sister
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
All Simon Says and the sequins are new

A FAIRY BIRTHDAY


Happy Sunday!

Time just keeps flying by.  I can't believe it's been two weeks since my last post.  So much has been going on that I almost didn't get this done on time.

Our challenge this week at Crafting When We Can is to use a sketch


I love using sketches.  It makes decisions so much easier to have it all laid out for you.

Our sponsor is Aurora Wings


She has so many gorgeous images and it seems there is something for everyone no matter what your taste in images is.  I was given this cute little fairy to work with.  The minute I saw her I new she had to have pink hair.  I had trouble deciding on the color for her bloomers but as usual I got help from my wonderful sister Rebecca.  Check out her blog.  She is so talented. 

I hope you like the card I made and please go over to the CWWC blog and check out all the other wonderful creations by the DT.  Don't forget to leave some love.  We all like to see it. 

Hope to see you in the challenge!  Have a "Peachy Keen" day!

MY FIRST TAG


HAPPY NEW YEAR

We are back from our break and ready to start the new year out.  So welcome to a brand new challenge at 


Our challenge is to make "Anything but a card" and we are sponsored by 



I've received this beautiful image called "Winter 10".  I thought she was just adorable and so cute in that parka.   

I couldn't decide if she should be pink or blue but I settled on pink.  I used Dazzling Diamonds mixed into the Liquid Applique for sparkle but unfortunately the picture just never seems to grab it. 

This is the first tag I have ever made.  I saw Tim Holtz at a craft show and he made so many gorgeous tags just goofing off with different techniques that I thought I might try some things.  This is the fourth tag for this project.  I didn't care for the first three at all but I didn't save them like Tim does (they just were not worth the space in my craft room). 

I hope you will join us in this challenge and please go to the CWWC blog and check out all the beautiful creations made by my DT sisters.  Don't forget to leave them some love.
