Challenge Winner in the House! Update

Happy Tuesday!

Just doing a quick celebratory post!  I won the Robert Jackson Friendship Challenge over at Scraps of Color!  Woo hoo!  My excitement is not focused on the prize, but at my project being chosen among the awesome projects that were submitted.  I am truly humbled by this experience...

The card that I submitted was a castle fold card; and I used the card fold tutorials provided at Beccy's Place.  Please be sure to stop by Beccy's blog, become a follower, and check out all of the great projects and tutorials she has for making cards.  I have always been a basic card maker - regular A2 or 5x7 cards; but Beccy's Place offers some awesome tutorials for making cards that are not so traditional.  Thanks, Beccy.  The image is a Robert Jackson digi - Girls Gone Wild, colored using my Copic Markers.  The paper is from DCWV - Basic Stack, Spring Card Stock, and Mariposa.

Now, here's the winning card... TFL!

TGIF and Happy Flag Day!!

Just wanted to post an update.  As a part of the RJ Friendship Challenge at SOC, we were supposed to send the card to a special friend.  Well, part of the challenge for me was that my friend is also a follower over at SOC.  So, what I did was modify the card slightly - maybe a little more than slightly, then mailed it to her.  Now that she's received it, I can post it.  LOL.  Here's the updated card.  TFL.

613 Avenue Create - Challenge #18

Greetings family, friends, fellow crafters and followers,

I apologize for this late post, but life is still happening; and I'm getting all caught up in it.  LOL!  With that being said, Mother's Day is quickly approaching; and a crafter's nemesis for this time of year is store-bought cards, gifts, etc.  Over in the neighborhood, this week's challenge is "anything goes', with the optional theme to create some kind of gift packaging - and with Mother's Day knocking at the door, this could come in handy!  So, join in the fun; and post your creations over at 613 Avenue Create!!

Here's a little inspiration...

First Rocker Card - It's a Boy!

Hello Crafty family and friends,

It's been a long week; but I was able to "squeeze" out a card for a co-worker.  Have you ever found yourself boxed into a particular style of card-making?  Well, I've determined that my style is usually CAS - clean and simple.  However, for this project, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and try something simple, but differnt.  I found a great website - Beccy's Place - that has instructions for all sorts of cards... as she puts it "from A to Z"!  LOL.  I also decided to use my Cameo to cut a rocking horse for the card.  The end result...

TFL!

Patterned Paper - Cloud 9 Design

Rocking Horse - Silhouette Cut

Label - Nestabilities Labels 18

And here's the accompanying basket:
