I have not posted in awhile - I have tired a few new things. I decided to try distressing !! Here are some pictures of some Halloween ATC's I did:
The second distressed Halloween!!
I was a little unsure how I was going to like this -- but I am kind of liking this!!
I tried something new this week - I signed up for a swap for Paper Dolls. I found some great downloads for way cheap at Ten Two Studios and made these little babies!!
These are actually postcards - for the swap I also signed up for the dealers choice!! These are super pretty.
These are the ATC's - I think they turned out quite cute!!
I sent this set to the Hostess - totally cracked me up - Skellies dressed for tea!! lol
Anyway - check out Ten Two Studios - has some great tutorials as well!!!
I was going through some old boxes at my mom's house and found these cards my dad drew when he was a teenager. I had not seen these before - they are soooo cool!! Thought I would share some with everyone!
I'll post more tomorrow!!!!
A few days ago, I was trying to get inspired. So I went to my favorite site, SplitCoast Stampers.com, and my fingers clicked onto the "Challenge" section of the home page -- well -- I did it!! I decided to take a deep breath and jump in. I completed two different challenges.
The Color Challenge -
Colors we could use - purple, yellow, grey, black, and white. Whew- what a color combo!! So my rusty braing cogs started turning - Then - BAM -- it came to me!! I wanted to try and stamp on fabric -- I had some yellow hem facing - so I stamped some bumble bee images on the facing and went from there!! Here is the finished product!!
I had so much fun with this one that I decided to do a "Limited Supply Challenge Card" --
Limited Supply Challenge
I decided to try this as well!! We could use the colors from our wedding or our school colors. Well, since I am not married - I did my school colors - black, gold, and white!! This is kind of funny because my 20 year reunion is next week. What do you think?? Go Colts!!! Yeah!!
I am in another swap (big suprise) -- this time all the cards are going to a local children's hospital. I am creating Thinking of You cards for the parents and creating Get Well cards for the kids.
I came up with a - I think - a fabulous idea for the kids cards.
Get Well Mini File Folder Activity Cards. These cards are made with heavy cardstock and are in a shape of a mini file folder. I have added pockets, envelopes, drawing paper, and coloring sheets. I have put stickers in the pockets and envelopes.
Tell me what you think!!
Hi - Happy Monday to All!!!!
I tried something new today!! I love this stamp set that I bought from Stampin' UP. It is called "Classic Sketches". I have always loved Greek Mythology - and this set really reminds me of that time.
I am in another swap (big suprise) for male / kids cards. Here is a card that I finished. The second pic is the inside of the card.
Here is another project that I tried today. I have wanted to start stamping on fabric. I bought the Staz On Stamp Pads (which I LOVE) and used the Stampin' UP set "Wanted". I stamped the horse image on a piece of vintage fabric using the Staz On Saddle Brown Ink. I didn't think it turned out too bad.
Off to complete to more started projects!! Have a Great Day Everyone!!!
