Keep Calm and Hop on

 I am super stoked, I have one of my first paying crafting jobs that came in on Thursday!

How fun is it to get paid to do what you love so much?!

 

Today I have this fun card to share with you all.

Remember we are still up on the Spring challenge at Just Some Lines.

I covered a page from a French textbook with some different washi tape,

added my colored and die cut image, and the little stamp

(I must have gotten that last year after Easter)

 

The card is top opening, and a fun little easter card.

  I hope you are getting your craft on this weekend!

 

 

Almost st pattys

I have had a very eventful day!

It included free coffee from a brand new Dutch Brothers,

a nice walk at the park with the dogs,

and a flat tire and sitting on the side of the road for an hour and a half!

So even though I had planned on doing a card for this weeks Just Some Lines post,

I completely ran out of time, and have this fun little ATC to share instead!

Lucky for me I had colored up this little image last week,

and I have a fun ATC to share!

The background paper is from Pretty Little Studios.

I hope you are getting crafty this weekend!

And she's got a 4 leaf clover to boot!

 

Ahhh it makes me want a big old glass of green beer, and some corned beef!

 This card is the first of it's kind!

Yep, I made an easle card!

Can you believe it??

I've been eyeing them and watching youtube tutorials for months now,

so I finally just said yep, I'm gonna do it.

And you know what??  It was SUPER easy!

And it was made even easier by the use of my small scorpal!

 

 

I know I should be talking about this fabulous Just Some Lines digi that I used!

And it really is awesome! 

Super sweet and simple, and very easy to color up!

 

I made the background paper using a Love definition stamp

and my distress inks.

 

Here is a side view of the card, standing up with no assistance! 

Whoop whoop! I did it!

 

And here's a close up of the colored digi! 

If you have fallen in love with this sweet little girl like I have,

head on over to the shop and you too can own her!

Plus with the built in heart it's sooooo super easy to play along with the Hearts and Love challenge!

 

By the way I left this little cutie set up on the counter at home for my hubby!

Our work schedules are at complete opposites right now, so I really am missing his face!

Friendly ATC

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Today I'm sharing a little ATC

This is the last week (or day!) of the challenge at Just some Lines

Use 3 Embellishments!

I used twine, the pretty flower, and the little hanger.

I colored her up with my copic and prismacolor markers.

The sentiment is from a Unity Stamp!

 

I hope you had a very thankful and blessed holiday (if you celebrate)

and that you are finding some crafty time today!

Good Morning!

I had a busy couple of days off, and even though I didn't post to my blog very much at all 

I did actually do some crafty stuff!

I saw a fun tutorial by Heidi Swapp where she made a calendar for her mom

but each month was a different layout!

Wow I said to myself, and I thought well I can certainly do that too!

Sooooo here is one of the pages from my mom's Christmas Present!

(She doesn't read the blog too much, so I'm hoping it stays somewhat of a secret!)

 

It's another week of the 3 Embellishments challenge at Just some Lines!

I thought this new digi called Em Joy (find it here)

It seemed to fit perfectly with this layout featuring my niece!

Here's a few little close ups!

See how I used buttons, and a ticket stub, and a tag as my embellies? 

 

 And finally a close up of my coloring!

I also added some of these little phrases to each of the pages of the calendar!

 

I hope you are out there being creative, and maybe getting a jump start on your holiday creations!

Just some lines

 It's Saturday again already!!!

Don't you just love this fabulous new digi from Just Some Lines??

The challenge is still up to use 3 embellishments,

This week I've used 3 different types of embelishments.

Buttons, Flower, and Ribbon.

On top of that I made this fun little card in 9:47.

Yep, it's that time again, the 10 minute craft dash is upon us again!

I will confess that I had already colored up my image a few weeks ago, and was just waiting

to make this cute card!  

The papers are from Crate Paper's Party Days line (I'm in love with this companies papers, and literally stalk them whenever I'm out and about!!)

The buttons are of course from my stash, and the flower I assembled myself!

The little strips of ribbon are from an estate sale find back in April!

I hope you enjoy this little gem, and also that you'll play along at Just Some Lines!

 Yesterday was a pretty creative day for me!

I got to participate in a few card challenges for World Card Making Day,

and then I got to make this fun ATC!

There is a new challenge at Anything But a Card

Its Orange and/or Black

I decided to go for the and!

And I used a new digi from Just Some Lines!

I am loving these new Halloween Stamps that are in the store!

Isn't she just so fun???

I adore that her neck is vertebrae!

The bat stamps and the Fang-tastic came from a stamp pack I won last year!

So I haven't had much chance to use them until now!
