Better Late than Never!!

Hello there!!

I finally posted pics of the projects that I worked on/completed while away at a scrappin' retreat last month.  I was determined to finish the mini album for my DM's birthday.  I figured it was time for her to have a "homemade" brag book that she could use to show off her grandbabies (not really babies).  The Christmas card was made at the request of the hostess, who was asked to make card sets.  She asked us to use her supplies, so she could easily "re-create" the cards.  The birthday card is a card I made for my cousin - who was like a 2nd mom to me, growing up.

I'm slowly working to grow "outside of my crafting box"; but it is truly a S...L...O...W process!  LOL.  Thanks for visiting my little slice of crafting paradise.

Hugz,

Lisa

Challenge #38 - Anything Goes

Hello and Welcome to my slice of paradise!

I'd like to take this time to send a hearty "thank you" to my followers; and hugs of gratitude to my faithful visitors.  It's not easy keeping up with this hobby that I love so much; but who doesn't enjoy a good challenge?!  LOL. 

613 Avenue Create is hosting an "Anything Goes" challenge this week; and our featured images have benn graciously provided by Rick St. Dennis and Sassy Studio Designs.  The twist to this challenge is for you to create your own color challenge - using 1 color from each color in the chart provided.  If you choose to accept the challenge, be sure to post your finished projects over at the Avenue!



For those who know me, you know I had to find a way to incorporate purple into my project!  LOL.  With that said, here's my project:

Steampunk Newbie!

Greetings Fellow Crafters and Curious Followers,

I have been struggling with keeping up with the craft that I love so much, given my life has now been consumed by football, cheering, football, and more football!  LOL.  Nonetheless, in an effort to keep my coloring skills (at least) thriving, I've joined the Sassy Studios group at PaperCraftingPlanet.  Each month we have the opportunity to participate in Progressive Challenges.  The most recent challenge was to complete a project using SSD's "Steampunk Amelia".  Now, I know nothing about "steampunk", so this was all foreign to me.

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery,[1] especially in a setting inspired by industrialized Western civilization during the 19th century.  Steampunk also refers to any of the artistic styles, clothing fashions, or subcultures, that have developed from the aesthetics of steampunk fiction, Victorian-era fiction, art nouveau design, and films from the mid-20th century.

Well, a third of the way through this project, I realized I didn't have any machinery embellies (TH has some good ones); so I had to improvise.  Here's the final project:

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to leave me some blog love, if you can.
