Here's To a Good Week!

Finally, a Monday where no one in the house is sick!!! I'm so glad! I'm also glad February is almost over. I don't think I've ever suffered from the winter blues before, but this year it's really getting to me. I need to be outdoors. I'm hoping for a mild March.
Today is the beginning of our new challenge at Kaboodle Doodles. It's a recipe challenge. 3-2-1.

Kaboodle Doodles Time!

Here in Canada we have a holiday today. Family Day. I'd like to take the kids out to the International Center where they have a lot of fun games and crafts and shows today, but don't think it would be a good idea as my daughter is still a little under the weather. Poor thing missed the entire week of school, so I'm hoping she can finally be back on her feet tomorrow.
Today is the beginning of our new challenge at Kaboodle Doodles.
USE A NON-TRADITIONAL FOLD. So make any type of card or project that you wish as long as it fols in an unordinary way. Also - A HUGE thank you to those who joined us last week!! I saw some outstanding work!!!
The winner this week will receive $15 to spend at the Wink Wink Ink! They generously gave us on the DT some images to work with and I decided to make a Stationary Box.

All of the cards - there are 10 of them - follow the same LO. Only the papers and colours are different. 5 of them say Thinking of You and the rest are blank so they can be used for a number of occasions.



Thanks for looking, hope you can play along at Kaboodle Doodles.

LIVE Card & More....

Over at Moxie Fab World they have a number of challenges happening right now. This one appealed to me right away -
Stamping using Glimmer Sprays. I've never used Glimmer Sprays in any way other than to mist a bit of paper or some flowers so I took the opportunity to try something new. For this card, I mixed the sprays with paint.

The LIVE tag has a combination of ink, chalk and sprays. I used Ranger's Perfect Pearls in Sunflower Sparkle and Turquoise.
I chose the colours to match the current challenge at City Crafter. Pink, blue and yellow.

Kinda an unusual type of card. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I like it. My original sentiment was "Paint the Town" but decided to simplify it to be better suited for the card's style.
Now for the "& More......" There is a fantastic new challenge blog starting March 1st!! You can check it out here - Just Tracy's Craft Challenge. They are a UK based store run by some very talented ladies!! As they've invited me to be a part of the DT, I see some really exciting challenges and outstanding prizes in the near future!!!

Check It Out.

So I received this award today from Laura at Pop 'N Stick.


I wasn't familiar with her work, and what a fun surprise her blog turned out to be!!!
She makes lovely vintage-y glittery cards. She also makes these cards using her own digis and papers that she creates herself. All the images and papers are FREE on her blog, and she's very talented!
Thanks again Laura!

A Love Card.

I adore "shabby" cards. It's not my usual style but when I see one done well I fall in love.
Also, because I don't get much free time for crafting I waited for The Shabby Tea Room, City crafter, and Moxie Fab World to start their new challenge themes, let them simmer in my head for a little, then got to work making one card that could fit them all.
I knew right away that I wanted to use these papers. They're from the October Afternoon collection called Fly a Kite and I think they are just wonderful.
The Shabby Tea Room has this inspirational photo, also use hearts.


City crafter wants to see BOTH silver and gold. I simmered the most over that!
And Moxie Fab World has this photo as the latest Trigger Tuesday.
