Midweek Throwdown Color Challenge

I know I do these so out of order!  When I can't get right to them I do remember them when I find a particular paper or embellishment.  Most of my stuff is still in boxes so selection is limited and I DO get excited when I have the right combination for a challenge.  This challenge calls for a card made of black and white with a pop of color.  The black and white paper was from 2 glossy sheets of 12x12 that made 8 cards and used up the red ribbon (May Arts) that came in a prize pack from Sandy.

ODBD October Challenge

I know I haven't posted for over a month.  Life just gets crazy.  Well, I'm trying to get back in the swing of things so I started with the ODBD October Challenge.  The challenge is to use circles on the card.  This card has circles using the free digi from Paula.  This is also my Oldie Moldie Monday Challenge card.  It is using Brenda Walton Cabbage Roses and the accent paper is from Ever After.  I found those papers in the bottom of a box, sheesh!  I got a dozen (roses) cards from using it all up!  No leftover ribbon even.

Midweek Throwdown Color Challenge

Ah, finally got back to the craft table.  Just in time for an OWH Midweek Throwdown.  This color challenge is to make a card using red and green so I made 4 of these for the box that goes out next week.  The present is popped for dimension and interest and the silver glitter paper is fused to there is no flaking off.  (sorry about the glare, eek)

OWH Sketch #124

 

These 2 were made using the sketch from OWH.  The first one is more of the requested measurements and the second is artistic license.  The flower and butterfly are 3-D cardboard embellishments and the bling are sequins.

Sketch Challenge #128

 

 

This challenge is from the OWH Stars and Stamps blog. The flowers are 3-D stickers by K&Co. with a little added bling!

Random Cards

These are some random cards that are going in the OWH box that I hope to be shipping out in the next 2 weeks.

 

 

I seem to have a bunch that never got posted.  More to come.

VCMP Challenge #10-Home Sweet Home

Kathryn is hosting the final challenge of the weekend with us making a card to represent out state.  I'm sure she didn't mean "state of mind" so I made one for Florida since I am here with my daughter.  The greens reminded me of all the lush tropical-ness and the blues are for the ocean.  The shells are a foil sticker set to represent the many miles of beach.

VCMP Challenge #9-Neglected Crafting Tool

Shannon came up with a great idea to use a tool that has been collecting dust.  I decided to use a Cricut cut embellishment since my machine has not been out of the box in months.  I love this butterfly cut on shimmery purple paper!  I popped the sentiment so that it gives a thickness to offset the buttons. 

I think I will be making multiples of this as it went together quickly and my daughter (who claims she is not crafty but wants to help) can pitch in a little to get this box filled.  Yay!  Thanks to OWH, Mom and daughter will be spending quality time together while doing something for our Nation's Heroes!
