TPV Twine Challenge

This weeks challenge over at The Paper Variety is THREADS.  Use them any way, any how...

Here's are fabulous prize this week.......

This prize package includes:


3 Cosmo Cricket Mini Decks (Social Club, Salt Air, Upcycle)
Social Club Ready-Set-Chip, Upcycle Ready-Set-Chip
and Salt Air buttons.


Here's my example with a little twine and using lots of scraps from my stash.....


Adding a little twine to a chipboard or piece of cardstock can dress it up a bit.

Tuesday, August 16, 2011

So not me....


Eventhough this card is totally not my style, I actually like it.  I'm not a big purple fan at all.  I was going through my scraps to work on a card and grabbed that.  I figure why not step out of the box for a change. 


The stamps here are from Rubber Cafe.  I really like these stamps alot.  The stamping quality is great and they are so cute.  I think I will need to get a few more.  I did some layering and added some glitter along with the distressing.

The Bright Side Distressed

I had some of the yummy Scrap Cake paper left and thought I would make a card.  I wanted to try to distress the papers since they are not something that I would normally distress. The outcome is great!  I love
the way it came out. 

I left the card blank so I can add a proper sentiment when the time comes.  There a space on the front that should fit a phrase nicely.   I added a little glitter to the butterflies to go along with the glitter on the flower :)

The Bright Side of Life

Remember this sketch I posted on Monday from Alda at The Flying Unicorn?
  I just had to use it this week...
This is a fairly new Scrapbook Line that I haven't worked much with.  It's called Scrap Cake and the line is "The Bright Side of Life".  The quality is fabulous!



The little flower and paper you see are from The Flying Unicorn Store.  The bright pink ones were white but I Glimmer Misted thenm to make them pink, how convenient :)

Got 15???

Back again to show you more creations I've made during my "Take 15" breaks :)

This is an inclusion page in my art journal.  I grabbed an image from The Flying Unicorn Forum in the group "Once Upon a Picture".  There are some great clipart pictures that everyone can share and use.

I started with lots of paint and then added the clipart using an image transfer method.  Some stamping, lace and stickers and that's it.  All in about 20 minutes :)

Need some Mojo?

Looking for a little spark to get you going this week?  How about this beautiful sketch from Alda at The Flying Unicorn  Every Monday she post a new sketch to work with.  This one is now sitting on my desk to play with.  Maybe it will inspire you?

Friday, August 5, 2011

Got 15???

Well, I do.  My challenge to myself recently has been to find 15 minutes in every day to stop and create.  It doesn't actually have to be something I finish but I do need to make the time to head into my room and get in the zone.  Maybe it's just to sit and ponder over things to get some inspiration or maybe it's to pull out a few items I want to use for the next day.  How about a little doodling? or zentangle?  What about getting a journal book out and just adding gesso to a few pages.  Maybe you can try it too?

Here's a journal page that I actually did in three days along with starting another one as well as a wooden plaque.  That's just 45 minutes out of the 3 days and I got all that accomplished!  Not too bad :)

For this page I started with a gesso page and added Pan Pastels to the background.  Stamping was next and then some modeling paste with a stencil.  After that dried I added more Pan pastels over the modeling paste.  The flower was made out of book paper and pleated around a carboard circle piece. 

I'll be back soon to show you some more finished items from my 15 minutes of craftiness :)

Circles and more circles.....

This weeks challenge over at The Paper Variety is all about circles!

 Our fabulous sponsor this week is Scrapbook Circle
They are  donating a $30 gift certificate to use in their store :)



Here's my example for this week.  Lots of circles here.  I used a white cardstock, paint, buble wrap, punched circles and some letters.  I really wanted to scrap my first "complete" zentangle drawing and this was a perfect way to capture it.



Can't wait to see what you do for this challenge!
