Better Late...

Happy Friday-Eve friend, family, and fellow crafters!!

As the weekend approaches, and I begin to plan how I'm going to squeeze in some crafting in the midst of a major house-cleaning weekend, I realize that I still have Mother's Day cards to make.  So, at DH's urging, I made yet another Mother's Day card.  This card is heading either to NC or VA. 

I think I have finally become comfortable with using sketches, too.  The inspiration for the layout of this card is from Mojo Monday 241; and the image is a Robert Jackson digi.  TFL.

JDE - Altered Art Challenge: Anything Goes

Please join us over at Jackson's Digital Expressions for Challenge #4.  Find something and alter it - it's that simple.  It can be a cereal box, or an empty can of corn, we're not picky. Just have fun. And, if you don't have anything to Alter..do whatever tickles your fancy ! And be sure to link your project at http://jacksonsdigitalexpressions.blogspot.com/.

Mother's Day 2012

Greetings Followers and thanks for dropping by my little craft haven!

I apologize for the gap in posts, but I had an urgent dental situation that HAD to be taken care of.  It kept me down for a few days, so my crafting was on hold!  Thanks for your patience. 

Well, in the past, Mother's Day would come and go, and I would find myself with half-done cards.  I had great intentions every year, and ended up in the store! (Not a good feeling for a crafter.)  Needeless to say, inspite of the dental situation, I was able to crank out a few cards - I didn't say they were on-time, though!  LOL.  Unfortunately, I didn't get pics of all the cards.  For most of the cards, I used sketches from Mojo Monday.  TFL.

 

Celebrate the Occasion

As if I don't have enough to do, I decided to participate in the CTO Challenge #60 - Happy Birthday (must use ribbon).  Just dropping off a quick card I put together for one of our musicians at church.  I love the color purple, and apparently so does our drummer!  LOL. 

Hope he likes it.  TFL

Keeping Hope Alive Pays Off!

Greetings Fellow Crafters,

As some of you may remember, I applied for 2 design teams back in March; but did not make either team.  I was sad, but not totally discouraged.  It gave me incentive to push myself to be more consistent and "out of the box" with my crafting.  Well, another opportunity presented itself; and I am now a member of the Jackson Digital Expressions Design Team!  So, no more days of "no crafting" - LOL!!  I have tight schedules and deadlines to meet.  LOL!  I'm grateful to the DT Coordinator for giving me another chance to be a part of the JDE team. 

Here's my first submission for the "Clean and Simple" Team. 
Theme:  Family Matters
Image:  Robert Jackson
Coloring:  Copic Markers - E21, E23 (SKIN TONES), E37, E39 (SUSPENDERS, BABY'S HAIR); BG13, BG15, BG18; W10, W05 (DAD'S HAIR)

Label:  Nestabilities Scalloped Oval
Thanks for stopping by.

OK - Those that have known me for a while know that I have a difficult time when it comes to using sketches.  So, this challenge will be a challenge for me!  LOL.

Here's my take on the sketch.  I think I'll use this one for the challenge over at Oozak, too.  TFL.

JDE Blog Hop - I Won!

Hello from the land of paper, scissors, and adhesives!

I occasionally participate in blog hops.  I believe my hesitation, in the beginning, was based on the fact that I didn't have a blog.  Then I hesitated because I was not consistent with my updates or I didn't feel my projects were blog-worthy.  Well, I recently participated in the JDE blog hop, and I actually won some blog candy on one of the sites I visited!!  Yippee!!  I won an adorable Robert Jackson digi from FranCine.  I'm so excited!  Be sure to visit JDE, and join me in completing this week's Sketch Challenge #1.
