Here goes Nothin!

Alright, so I was cruising around this weekend and through Heather's blog happened to check out the Cupcake Craft Challenges blog and fell in love with thier challenges and the ladies are all super talented! I liked the variety of skills and levels.

I really liked this weeks challenge, so I started thinking. They ALSO are looking for a new DT...something I am not sure that I am even qualified for, but eh, its worth a shot!! I think it would be fun!

So, here is the picture that we were to draw inspiration from this week on the Cupcake Craft Challenges blog:

What a FAB picture right? SOOO cheery. So...relaxing and non-cluttered...(too bad I didn't think of the cluttered part BEFORE I made my card, lol) I was inspired by the lines on the vase and the table, and of course, the colors and flowers. I couldn't get away from them no matter how hard I tried. So here is my submission/entry:

The image was Stampin Up, I like your style. One of my all time fave sets! I thought the shapes and lines on the forms were perfect, as well as the shape of the forms themselves really leant themselves to this picture. The paper is from K and company and...I just liked the look of it. I DO kind of wish I had used a more cheery background, but I still like the way this turned out. The flowers are from American Craft. I used Stickles in the centers as well as on the forms to make it more...summery and fun. And, of course, I used my watercolor pencils on the image...

Incidentally, this ALSO (I think) qualifies for Mojo Monday! Yay for two-fers!!! So its also submitted over at mojo monday!

Well, there you have it! My entry/submission! I hope you like!!!

Its been too long!

I can't remember the last time I blogged (I guess I could just read it and find out, lol). To be honest, I let it slide cause I wasn't sure anyone was reading it. BUT I have made a few fun things that I would love to share with you.

I was cruising around on the internet looking for ideas for this CUTE changito image that I received from SammiK as a RAK. I found this super cute hot chocolate pouch. She didn't really give any instructions, so here are mine:

Cut a piece of cardstock to 5 1/2 x 10 (um...now I am not so sure....but I think that's right). Score at 7 1/2 and 3 3/4 inches. I used a plate to mae a curved edge on my flap. I just traced and cut. (ghetto? I think not!) Then I decorated it with some Rak'd cuttled paper and ribbon and such.

I made this card for a challenge over in the Cute Critter's Club the other week and I LOVE this little guy! I got him from Shemaine. It was an ADORABLE set with a hippo, and monkeys and a gater...I LOVE these guys! Its Close To My Heart. The paper is American Craft, which I LOVE because its doublesided and coordinates with itself.

A couple of weeks ago frdtrkgrl from over on Cafe Mom sent me this AWESOME Inkadinkadoo set of cupcakes that I am absolutely IN LOVE with! I have been ITCHING to use it and finally got my chance the other day and made this envelope card. I filled it with cupcake images and sent it to someone. (hope she likes!) I paper pieced the cupcake. I used K and Company paper. I have got to get another one of these stacks. I am in love with the paper and have used almost all of it!

I will leave you on a Fall Note. A couple of Sundays ago we went to the pumpkin patch and Noah had a blast! He asked me last week if we were going when I took him to the store. Poor thing! He wanted to go back! Yesterday, we (I) carved our pumpkin. I went with a non-scary, but kinda spooky theme. Noah would not go anywhere near that pumpkin and its slimy insides, LOL! Poor thing! I have him stickers and let him decorate a little one and he was happy with that. Maybe next year.
