ninety: bananas

This card took me a long time. Sometimes sketches just aren't made for cards :) I finally get to enter in the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge and I really enjoyed doing this sketch. This is also for Cooking with Cricut since it's Fall colors and it goes great with the stitching challenge at Delightful Sketches. And of course there just happen to be bananas for the the Food challenge with My Creative Time.

eighty nine: lazy sunday

I forgot how tiring working full time can be! I've been exhausted these past 2 weeks. Hopefully this week I will officially be teaching at this school!

I started this card of with Paper Cutz's "Get Well Card" challenge. They required it to be a get well card, duh, with something flying. This led to joining in with Alphabet Challenge's "B is for Bird" and
Fantabulous Cricut's "Bird Bonanza" challenges. To tie it all together it needed some embossing. That's where Made by Momo's "Embossing" and One Stop Craft Challenge's "Embossing" came into play. In the end, it all worked out great. This will be so sweet for someone who needs a little cheering up :)

Tried doing a collage type of thing. It was quite tricky. Still on the fence if I like it or not. I'll attempt the same technique again one of these days. I'll enter it into One Stop Craft's "Anything Goes" challenge. I found this challenge blog hopping around :)

Decided to make a close friend of mine a littel cheer up card. She's been having tough relationship problems and I just wanna let her know that even though we're far away, I'm always here for her :)

I combined 2 challenges, Card Patterns and More Than Favors. I find it more challenging and rewarding when I can combine several challenges in one project :) And I'm really liking this craft cardstock too!

Here's my entry to My Pink Stamper's color challenge in 30 minutes! It was super close but I made it! Would've been a little less stressful if my ATG gun decided to run out of tape AFTER I finished the card! Thank goodness for back up glue!!

There's a new blog in town and it's starting to really come together. Check out Pixel Layne Studio. She has some fun things stirring up there. Here is an entry to her celebrating of 1000 hits already! (Sorry again for the horrible picture, it's still raining here and the lighting is just terrible inside)

sixty seven: first card sketch

I was going to enter this in the Card Patterns but couldn't finish it yesterday. Today I sat and figured it out, the center circle completed the card. Sorry for the poor pictures, it's been raining all day here and I just can't get good lighting inside :( The first picture is the closest in color.

Fantabulous Cricut has a challenge regarding last month's National Sewing Month. I love it because all the material at JoAnn's goes on sale..perfect time to get ready for Halloween costumes!

The challenge is to use stitching whether it be faux or actual stitching. I would've used the sewing machine but a pet peeve of mine is switching out the stinkin' bobbin. It's just plain annoying so I used a white gel pen instead. Same effect :)

The flock didn't turn out so great. The cut was too big to fit in my little xyron runner and I just didn't know what other kind of glue to use. I have Martha Stewarts glue pad but it doesn't work well..I'll have to research a little more on that.


Overall, I really liked how this card turned out. Minus the flocking, this was a pretty simple card :)

Have you ever had those? Zebra cakes? My boyfriend loves those. They are really sweet. Too sweet for me.

Just noticed how the zebra is almost washed out in the first photo..When I'm photographing outside, it's so darn bright that I can't see the image on my camera screen! I'll have to figure something out the next time..
