OWH Sketch Challenge 178

Hey All!  The current sketch this week on S&S comes with lots of great layers!

Sketch 178

Still loving on My Mind's Eye Quilting Bee DSP.  The sentiment and butterflies are by Verve.  I stamped the butterflies once on the white card stock and then again on scrap DSP.  Just like paper piecing and no tiny parts to attempt to cut out!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

OWH Sketch Challenge 177

Hey All!  I'm really diggin sketch 177 over on the S&S blog.  I wasn't sure I liked it at first but once I started playing with paper it all worked out perfectly.

Missing You

I love this DSP and cannot believe I actually cut into it.  It's Quilting Bee by My Minds Eye.  The stamp set is Right At Home from Hero Arts and the rhinestone brads are from my stash.  The bricks on the house were made by using my colorless blender Copic marker.   Time consuming but completely worth it!

Thanks for stopping by!

OWH Sketch Challenge 176

Hey All!  Today I spent the entire time with my kiddos in the craft room.  They were having so much fun I even let them eat their lunches in there.  It's a big mess but we had a lot of fun cutting out Angry Birds and coloring stamped images.

AngryBirds

You're so special to me

I managed to squeeze in a couple cards myself. Lots of fun making this one.  I used this weeks S&S sketch 176.  The papers are My Minds Eye Happy Day stack.  The sentiment is Hero Arts Year Round Sentiments.  I'm not going to share the other cards since they are just repeats of the one I made last week.

Thanks for stopping by!

OWH Sketch Challenge 175

Hey All!  I am in love with this weeks sketch challenge 175!  It will be great for using up scraps and making a card last minute (something I seem to do often!)

Sketch 175

YUP! This is my new favorite sketch.  I love how clean and simple the card turned out.  The DSP is Happy Day by My Minds Eye and the sentiment is Hero Arts OWH set Right At Home.

Heart Shorts

Last week I shared a small preview of what I've been working on.  My daughter has a lot of jeans with holes in them and I am currently catching up on turning them all into shorts.  I love the little hearts I painted on these and so does she.  As soon as I wash them she is pulling them out of the hamper to wear them.  I'd say I did a really good job!

Polka dots 

Why stop with just a pair with hearts?  I'm making another set with dots but they are taking me FOREVER to paint.  Ugh.  She better love them as much as the hearts!

Thanks for stopping by!

A little bit of lately

Hey all!  I've changed my blog name.  I just couldn't commit enough to the last one for so many reasons.  This one is different.  The name already feels like a better fit.  I can't be the only one to ever feel the need to change right?  I hope I didn't just mess up every link created to it out there though.

My Kiddos

Here is a little piece of life lately.  The kiddos have both finished their first Tee Ball season.  I'm so proud of them.  I really didn't think Lainey was the sports type but she proved me wrong.  Jace on the other hand takes after me and could have cared less.  They both did enjoy it though...for the most part.

Felt Flowers

I've realized that I only seem to share cards when I'm actually capable of so much more.  I love to sew and use the glue gun and much, much more.  I saw these flowers on Pinterest and just knew they would be perfect for our entry way.  I bought some craft round dowels at Walmart and painted them green.  I have more felt then I really need so that came from my stash.  I made a 3inch in each color and a 2.5inch in a grey and white.  One yellow was all the pop I needed.  The vase is from Ikea.

On my craft desk

Here's a little sneak peek at what's currently on my craft desk.  There's going to be one very happy little girl in my house soon!

2 Cards and a Winner

Hey ya'll!  The mojo is still flowing and I have two cards to prove it!

Hi-Ya!

I made this card for the OWH Sketch Challenge #161.  The cute little bear and sentiment are from MFT.  I couldn't decide between the red or the orange twine so I twisted them together and used both.

Thanks

So the current Midweek Throwdown is a recipe challenge.  I struggled with this one and ended up breaking my C plate in two.  I found a sketch on Pinterest and finally made things work.  The star is my die cut of choice and to really make it pop I adhered it to some black cardstock and trimmed it out.  The sentiment is letter stamps from MFT.  

Now the really fun part!  The winner of the small flat rate box of stamping goodies is Diane!  Congratulations Diane!!! Please send me your contact info.

Have a great weekend!

Great Catch

Hey All!  I'm back with 2 cards to share with you.

You're a Great Catch!

I love this image.  It's from My Favorite Things.  They generously donated stamps to OWH and I have really enjoyed inking them up!  This card was made for the OWH Sketch Challenge #160.  One of my previous cards was chosen as the sketch inspiration and it totally made my day to see it! I hope you'll play along!

I Miss You

This was the inspiration card I previously made.  You can check out that post by clicking here.

From The Bottom of My Heart

 I made this card also using a donated stamp set from My Favorite Things.  The current MWT challenge was fun folds so I took a shot at a gate fold card.  Is there some magic secret to getting them to lay flat?  I paper pieced the dress and heart of the image since I really wasn't in the mood to color.  GASP! Please don't tell my daughter that!
