Brad

OWH Mid Week Throwdown
Tic Tac Toe


This week Challenge to create a card with the item listed in the squares. Well everything is there from the first column ..what you can't see my Brad? Well it is the boys name! OK so it is a stretch but I was making this card and there was no where to put a a real brad but I thought I would post it any way and try again next week! (I did the tutorial on Tuesday I should get extra credit!). I did some simple coloring as 'Peanut' characters are usually seen more one colored since they where in the newspapers. That does make it a bit more doable for me.

Spirelli Flower

Along came this tutorial at OWH to make these threaded flowers WOW!. I had not seen them before but others said they have been around. So I was time to just do it! Besides I always need a small project on hand for just in case for the crafty friends. Well it took me awhile to get it, I finally went on You Tube. Oh and it does help if your scallops are larger (I started with tiny scalloped circle...not a good idea when starting out...ever?) Long story short project done, made a card and learned something new:) Thanks ladies!

Pattern Play

Here is my take on this beautiful piece of fabric. I went with Lovely Layers from Papertrey Ink. The little center flowers are from Hero Arts. I was looking to create a pattern out ink without using mounds of paper. I used the blue flower as my center starting point and created the rest of the pattern around it. I looked at the embroidered  pattern could not help but see lots of sprays of stitching. Thanks for popping by!

Operation Write Home
Sketch Challenge #162
I need to get my Mothers day Cards up a bit so that is the theme I went with today. I decided to use the big sentiment as my focal point. I used the holiday as a secondary point on the card. I first stamped the big sentiment in the pink but realized that sunglasses would have been required for the card. So I used London Fog by Memento to ease it down on the eye. I tried to soften the edges by inking them .

So Loved

Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge
Picture Perfect
The challenge this week was this photo, how cute! I decided on these little worm figures now fingers poking up smooching about. I decorated the hat with star, and the tiny antenna from Boob Tube set. The lips and the mustache are from Chubby Chum Pals. I just pulled many different parts from different sets. Aren't they a fun couple?:)
