All Things Flowing.

I'm not sorry to see the last of January. Really, it's my least favourite month. Too long, cold and dark.
February I like. It's short (although it has an extra day this year), has Family Day, which for us is Tobogganing Day, lovely Valentine's Day, and for me.....most importantly.....today is my boys' 5th birthday!! I'm so looking forward to decorating their cake while they're at school this afternoon!

Our challenge for February at Just Tracy's Crafts is

THINGS THAT ARE FLOWING

So be sure to include something "flowing" and play along this month. The fab prize for the winner is $15 to spend at Just Tracy's online store which carries all the latest and greatest products. There is also the TOP 3 award up for grabs.

I did something with my card that I don't normally do...... left it without a sentiment. I wanted the oversized FLOWING flower diecut to be the focal point and went minimal with the other embellishments.




Thanks for stopping by, I look forward to seeing your creations,

B/W Thanks.

Hello all,
I have to keep this short and sweet as it's almost time to pick up the kids from school. I like to leave a bit early so I can spend 20 minutes alone with my Kindle before the bell rings :) After that there's no hint of quiet until 8 pm !

I made this card for the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays.


Only black and white allowed. Tricky for me, that's why I wanted to play along. Guess I enjoy torturing myself.



You can't tell from the pics, but the circles are all adhered with foam tape.




Thanks for looking,
Farrah

Shabby-ing It Up.

Ok, my first card for 2012. Feeling good to be back sitting at my desk, everyone falling into old routines. Today we got a nice little snow storm. The first one this winter so I wasn't as irritated as usual when I shovelled the driveway ;)

I went with a vintage look for this card. Tons of inking and distressing. The butterflies were first stamped with polka dots, the sprayed with glimmer mist, then inked with both pink and black.




The sentiment is from We R Memory Keepers, as is the papers.

As I promised myself..... I made sure to fancy up the inside.

OMG it's 2012!

I really can't understand how it can be 2012 already. I remember celebrating New Year's 1999 and it doesn't seem like 12 years have passed since then! Had a fun time last night though. Maybe a little too much champagne and strawberries but what the heck :)
Today begins our new challenge at Just Tracy's. The theme is

LOVE IS IN THE AIR.



Nice right?! Great chance to get a jump on those Valentine's cards you'll be needing.
Just Tracy's is sponsoring and the winner will receive $15 to spend in the store.

Here is my card for the challenge



The digi is from Pink Cat Studio that I won last year, the rest is stuff from my endless stash.



I don't normally make New Year's resolutions but I did make one this time.... spend more time prettying up the inside of my cards.



So Happy 2012 to you!! Hope you'll play along, the contest runs all month!
