Cardabilities Sketch Challenge #48

Hi everyone!

It's Monday, and the start of another crazy week for me.  Fortunately, I'm taking tomorrow off to get some stuff done, and in doing so, it will break up the week for me.  I SO wish I could take more time off during the week.  It would be awesome!  Anyway, I know you're here for the crafty stuff, so I'll get right to it.

Sketch #48 at Cardabilities is up and ready for you to feast your eyes on.  I'll tell you now, it's a beauty!  For all of the details, and to see the sketch, click HERE.


Aside from my Christmas cards every week, I seldom make cards with anyone specific in mind anymore.  I try to make cards to keep in my stash for future use these days.  This card was made with a purpose, though, and for a cause that is near and dear to my heart.  One of my co-workers just returned to work after winning her battle with breast cancer.  She's absolutely amazing, and I am honored to be in her presence everyday.  I've had other friends lose this battle, and it's heartbreaking to see such beautiful people taken away, at such young ages.  I'm not usually an emotional kind of girl, but this card was very difficult for me to put together.  I guess sometimes it just happens.  I do hope she loves it as much as I do.  I had an idea in my head, and this turned out better than expected.

Please head over to see what the other fabulous designers have put together for you today.  They'll blow you away, no doubt!

Don't forget to tell the ones you love how you feel about them!
Much love,

Christmas Card Challenge Week #9 & Drunken Stampers #82

Hi hi!

So, because I'm a slacker, and I completely spaced off my DT obligations this week due to work, I am combining two of my challenges into one.  I apologize for the shortness of this post, but I have to go back to work this morning.  Boo! :(


The challenges this week were to Use Your Favorite Technique at the CCC and Use New Crafty Supplies at DS.  My favorite technique, which I'm sure by now you know, is embossing.  Everything on my card is new, with the exception of the bakers twine, which I've had in my stash for a while.  I'm diggin' how this card turned out.  I've also combined the following challenges in my card.

Totally Papercrafts - Pearls & Lace
Fussy & Fancy #55 - Polka Dots
Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge #143 - Sketch (I turned it sideways)

I hope you'll check out both design team blogs to see what my friends have all created for you this weekend.  All of them are super fab!

Hugs!

Use It Tuesday's Challenge #24

Hi y'all!

How's your week going so far?  Hopefully, things are going well, and you're not having too much issue.  It's been a hectic week for me already, thanks to the end of month stuff, but I guess I can't complain.  We'll be done by the end of today, and then things will go back to normal again.

I'm excited to bring you my next project for Use It Tuesday's.  This challenge is All About Love.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.


I will be giving this to my Valentine this year, I love how it turned out.  It is a bit busy for me,  but I'm not going to cange it.  I dug out some old Hero Arts stamps, some old and forgotten patterned papers and a doily die I bought at least six months ago that has never been used.  All in all, it came together nicely.  I hope the recipient of this card likes it.  I've also included the following challenges in my card.

Just Us Girls #120 - Red, Pink & White
Stamp, Scrap & Doodle - Have A Heart
Card Makin Mamas - Something Old
Raise The Bar #88 - "Ring" in the New Year (use circles)
Wags & Whiskers #71 - Valentine/Love
Last But Not Least Challenge - Something New (the bling from Zva is new, and so is the lattice die from PTI thanks to my FYI friend Sara)

I do hope you'll head over to see the other fantastic projects posted by the UIT Design Team.  They're amazing!

Have a great week!
Hugs!
