Friend's with Flair

Friday is so much fun because of Unity's Friends with Flair!  I so look forward to playing and popping around to everyone's blog to see their creations.  It has been a while since I have been able to play along, but that is going to change. : )

 

My friend's daughter lost her fiance in a car accident.  It has been a couple months now and I wanted to make her a card.   I colored it with chalk to get a soft look and really like the way it turned out.

 

Thanks for stopping by and as always, I hope you have a great day! 

Challenge #228--Fashion is my Passion

This week at Crafty Creations, we have a rather interesting challenge.  It is called "Fashion is my Passion."  Our sponsor is San's Designs and she had this delightful girl image.  I don't know how much fashionable you can get than a feather dress. 

 

I also found a set of sentiments there also with saying from the Big Bang Theory.  I had to buy them and they make me smile every time.  You can get them here.

 

As always, I try to take a close-up.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Challenge #226--Let's Get Sketchy!

I got to host the challenge this week at Crafty Creations, so I decided to create to use a sketch as inspiration for the challenge.  I used to love making sketches with my BFF Joni and kind of miss it.  This is one I created several years ago and hope it inspire you in some way. 

 

We have a great sponsor this week with a prize anyone would LOVE to win.  Clearly Besotted Stamps will be giving one lucky winner a GC and who does not love stamps and coordinating dies?

 

 

Here is the card that I created.  I used a stamp and die set to create the teapot and then use embroidery floss to make the accents.  It looks a lot better IRL, but hopefully you get the idea.

 

 

As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

Challenge #224--Super Heroes!!!

This week at Crafty Creations, our challenge it to create a card for your super hero or of your super hero.  Hopefully, you will be able to stop by and play along.  We always have the most amazing sponsors!

 

This card is for my mom.  She was my super hero and always came to my rescue whether it be helping me clean my house or taking care of my daughter.  My mom passed away almost two years ago, but it honestly just seems like a few weeks has passed.  She died of leukemia and never complained even though she suffered.

 

If you ever see a teal ribbon, it stands for leukemia.  My mom's favorite color rose was yellow, so that is why I used the colors that I did.

 

Here is a close-up of the flower cluster.  Yes, I still love my twine.  : )

 

I just thought this was a funky angle for the picture and thought I would through it in there. 

 

As always, thanks for looking and I hope you have a great day and give your super heroes a special hug while they are still with you.

Crafty Creations--#222 KISS

This week, we have a wonderful challenge at Crafty Creations.  It is to Keep It Simple Silly!  I love the look of clean lines.  Here is my card.  I made it for my hubby who really is a fun guy!  Plus, morel season is just ending, so we have been eating fresh mushrooms we picked ourselves.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get to play along with us this week at Crafty Creations!

Crafty Creations--Mother's Day Challenge #220

Good morning!  Yes, we have another great challenge at Crafty Creations!  It is to create something for Mother's Day.  I lost my mom a couple years ago to leukemia, so I did not want to make a card.  I decided to make a door hanger so if I ever get the time to take a nap, I will be ready.

 

 

Here is a close up of the flower cluster.  I really like the way it turned out.  I made the big pink flower out of book paper and then sprayed it with color.

 

Here is another close up so you can see the details on the flower.  As you know, I am in love with book paper.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get to join us at Crafty Creations.

Friends with Flair Friday!!!

I have said it before and I will say it again, I just love Friday's Friends with Flair at Unity!  The and simple style has always amazed me.  It is just stunning when I see something created in this style.  This week, I decided to give it a try and I must say....I like it better when someone else does it.  hahaha  Anyway, here is my attempt.  It was a lot harder than I thought and took me much longer than keeping with my own style.

 

As always, thanks for looking and have a great day!
