Some projects

We spent the weekend at a charming The Ferintosh Manor Bed and Breakfast. It was so cozy and welcoming. There were a few of us who managed the escape and it was a perfect weekend.

Here are a couple of projects that I made.
I liked this LO, I scraplifted it from a magazine. My friend Nicki used this LO for a pic of her daughter and dared me to use it too. I usually have a hard time to go "simple" but I really like the outcome.

I spent so much time staring at the pic, wondering what I was going to do with it. Then I thought I would stamp a few flowers to make a frame around my daughter's pic; it snowballed from there. I spent the next 90 minutes or so stamping flowers, then hand cutting them out. Then I wanted to add a watermark background to my paper; I typed a paragraph of inspirational girl quotes, then copied it a few times and put my 12x12 paper through my printer. I'm thinking I was a little crazy...
It was fun...but so much more work than I planned! But then, aren't all LOs way more work than we think?

Later!

Get Sketchy #29

Hey all,

This week the sketch over at Get Sketchy was so much fun.

We were to used some digi stamps from The Stamping Boutique; I used them and paper pieced the boy's clothes. I made the card during a weekend retreat and it all came together WAAAAYYYY too late (during one of those creative streaks we get when it's already too late)

So, here's the sketch:And here's the card that began at 3:30 am and was completed at 4:30 am. It was VERY hard to get up the next morning!!
Stay tuned for a blog hop this week and some of the LOs I made over my weekend away.

Later!

Crop Suey Challenge #4

The next challenge is up at Crop Suey.

The design team has made some fabulous creations.

This challenge was:
"Use Your Scraps. Rules.. No paper larger than 4" squared..."

That was a stretch for me, I love strips. So, unable to avoid strips, I kept them to under 4''.

Here's what I came up with:

Go check out the challenge and give it a shot, you never know...you may like it!!

Get Sketchy #28

Another week is up at Get Sketchy and it's been fun again!

This week's sponsor, Daisy Bucket, sent each design team member some blank cards to create with and it was so much fun.

We didn't put a sketch out there for everyone to follow, but challenged them to make a SPRING card and I am excited to see what everyone is going to create.

The challenge: SPRING

My card:Also, come have a look at our new design team. We are so happy to welcome the new fabulous women who will be with us over the next 6 months.

Go, check it out: GET SKETCHY

One crop, three meals and 30 happy ladies!

Last weekend, our church hosted one of it's 3 yearly crops. It's always a huge hit and brings out so many ladies who want to catch up on their creating. I am one of two people who organize the weekend and it was a busy one for me.

I do all the cooking for around 30 people, set up and tear down and, in a brief moment of fun, teach a mixed media project of some kind.

This year, I decided to create a project that does not have any pictures on it. It was a stretch for some of the ladies to imagine spending the time and not being able to glue down any of the million pictures they still had to scrap. But, once they started creating, they had so much fun. I tried to incorporate a little something that most people who attend these crops do not normally do.

Here's the project:I used the fabulous templates from Hot Off the Press. I used "Little Birdies" and their "Fold & Stack Flowers" templates. It was fun to see the look on the ladies faces when I said they were going to make the flower and bird and it wasn't pre-made for them...priceless.

They got creating and had so much fun making their canvas.
A fun little project to change up things for some ladies!!

Get Sketchy #27

I've been quite busy. Bree and I have been busy trying to make sure we have all the bases covered for the many things we have going on.

I've been maintaining to other blogs and (unfortunately) have had to let my own blog take a back-burner to ensure the success of the other ones. But, like every mom, wife, crafter and creater out there, I am going to attempt to balance it all and keep my own blog up to date (we'll see if I can keep all these plates spinning without breaking!!)

Here's the latest Get Sketchy (#27):Here's my card:I have to admit this is one of my faves. It's been awhile since I've said that! I really like this card and only wish that they would all turn out this fabulous looking. I used Basic Grey...maybe that's why it's good; really? can anyone go wrong with Basic Grey (I love their paper!!!)
