4U

Just a quick post, it has been a while since I have been able to sit down and craft. Lots going on here and my mojo is non-existent. But I did make a quick card for the color inspiration challenge over at Off the Wall Craftiness. The colors to use are blue, yellow and white. For my card I used 2 different shades of blue so I hope it counts. :-)

My usual Kraft cardbase. The white rays are from Practicing Creativity Design's You're Dandy stamp set.....LOVE it!!
The sun and the flowers are cut out from Fancy Pant's Rusted Sun collection. I used some Crushed Curry cardstock from Stampin' UP! and "4u" is from American Crafts chipboard alphas, called Bliss in coffee color.

My giveaways end tonight, in approximately 55 min so if you haven't entered please click the links at the top of my blog. If you have entered be sure to check back in the morning, maybe late morning to see who the winners are.

Happy Crafting!!

Ok so I originally was going to title my post "Check out my Poll" until I realized even though it is "poll" it sounded a bit inappropriate. LOL! Anywhoo, I have a poll in my sidebar that I was wondering if y'all could take a second and vote on. I am in the process of restocking my store and I am trying to get a general idea of what people typically order when they buy paper crafting products.

It would seem that when I first stocked the store I didn't do so well picking out "popular" items. LOL! Ooopps!!

Sooooo, if you could just take a sec and clickity click on an answer that would be great. :-)

Circle, circles and more circles

Happy Monday my crafty friends! Today I decided to make a LO. I have so many pictures to put in the scrapbooks, some days I just don't know where to start. LOL!

I used just a plain white 12x12 cardstock. I am not even sure where it came from. It was just in my stack of paper. The ginormous scallop and all the circles were cut with my Cricut. The pattern paper is from Pebbles Inc, Lil Buddy collection. The circles are cut from Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and some blue color I am not sure the name, all from Stampin' UP!

And there ya have it. It was quick and easy! Don't forget to enter my giveaways! They end July 31 at midnight EST. Now I think the post may have originally said July 30 and then somewhere else I posted July 31. My kids must have been yelling at me and confusing me when I was trying to type. LOL! Either way I will end the giveaway July 31 at midnight EST. Click on the links at the top of the page to enter the giveaways, I have some great stuff to giveaway!!!

Thanks

Today we had a storm roll through, it lasted a total of 5 minutes from start to finish. In that time it managed to knock out our power. I was crafting when the winds started blowing and then....the power flickered off. I was able to finish my cards even though it was a bit dark in my room.

We left the house for a while, since it was extremely how in the house. We returned home around 8:30 and thankfully the power was back on.

So here are my cards I made. They were super simple but I kinda like the way they turned out.

I used my favorite, Kraft card base. I used Ruby Red and Old Olive ink from Stampin' UP! as well as some Versamark. First I stamped the Versamark on the card and then layered the Ruby Red and Old Olive. On a separate piece of Kraft cardstock I inked one more flower of each color. I cut out the flowers and popped them out with dimensional adhesive. The "thanks" is also from that stamp set. Oh I didn't mention the set is from Studio G and it was only like $2 from Michaels. The "thanks" was stamped with Creamy Brown Colorbox Chalk Ink. LOVE that stuff! I also adhered that with dimensionals. I rounded the corners. Oh and to add a little extra to the flowers I used some glitter chipboard Thickers from American Crafts (I used the "periods"). It is called Bliss in Coffee (color). That is my FAVORITE Thickers set.

I hope y'all have a wonderful week!!

Happy Crafting!!

The Beach

edit: I just realized that I uploaded the wrong picture. I have uploaded the correct one.

During my daily blog hopping I ran across a fabulous gallery and website. It is called snapNcrop.com. Oh my I was blown away at all the wonderful LO's I saw. The layouts were all in Mosaics. I though, oh how super cool! I thought I would give it a try. So I bought the 12x12 grid paper that they sell.

I received the paper the other day but didn't get to make or finish the LO until today. I will say that without a 1 inch punch or the grid mat that is designed to help cut the squares, it was a bit challenging but I made due with what I had. I may buy the mat or a punch in the future. But anywho here is my LO:
Alright, go easy on me. I know some of the squares are crooked. But seriously without the proper tools, half way through this LO my head was starting to hurt. I really think this technique is super cool and you can mix and match how you lay out the page but really my exacto knife and ruler just didn't ease the work.

Hope you like it! And don't forget to get your entries in on my giveaways! Click here or here to enter!
