Creative Corner Challenges - CONGRATULATIONS! - No Sponsor

Welcome to another summer edition from Creative Corner Challenges! Half way through July...I hope everyone is having a fabulous summer?!

This week's challenge from Team Jess is a Congratulations theme and we have no sponsor this week!

I did up a baby card for this challenge. It was fun to use a Peas in a Pod die from Sizzix. Here's what I came up with! I hope you will join us and play along!

Creative Corner Challenges - Just for Men

Hello & welcome to a brand new month...JUNE! Holy smokes, half way through 2016!! June is my favorite month. But I'm a bit biased because it's my birthday month!

This week at Creative Corner Challenges our challenge is Just For Men! No sponsor this week so it's  a free for all!

Here is my creation for this one. The fun little bbq is from the 'My Kitchen' Cricut cartridge. The sentiment is a super cute wooden letter stamp set from Michaels ($1.50!) The red picnic paper in the background is from AMBillustrations I found on Etsy. Super cute digital paper!
I hope you enjoy and will play along!

Creative Corner Challenges - All White + One Other Color

Hi all! Welcome to another fabulous week of creations found over at Creative Corner Challenges! The theme for this week is All White + One Other Color. I'm not gonna lie...this.was.tough. I spent a great deal of time thinking on what I should do for this project. I went through THREE images because I added one extra color that I shouldn't have!

I am loving the anchor image (found at Michaels in the clearance bin!), and I always associate it with the word hope -->see Hebrews 6:19.

Here is my card that I created!

I hope you will join us and create something fabulous!

Creative Corner Challenges - FEATHERS!

Hello 2016! Happy New Year!!

Welcome to a new challenge with Creative Corner Challenges. I hope you will head over and check out my fellow Design Team blogs! They have some amazing work to show you too!

This challenge is all about feathers, so dig in and find some!

Here is my card!

I took inspiration from the 2014 Close to My Heart Catalogue on page 121. I searched high and low for something with feathers. And would you believe it or not, someone who loves owls and peacocks has nothing feathers...or so I thought. I finished up this card and started cleaning up my disaster craftroom. And whaddya know? I found purple peacock paper and a feather stamp! HA! Anywho, for this project I made a washi tape feather with some twine as the "stem" then painted it black with a coat of gold paint over top. For the feather on the left, I sketched one with charcoal and filled it in with BoBunny Pearlescents Pen in Sugar. I added a few gems to the edges too. I chose a random Project Life card out of my stash (I'm horrible for not keeping the packaging!!)

I hope you will play along with us at Creative Corner Challenges with Team Jess!

Creative Corner Challenges - For Mom

Good Morning! 

Happy May 1st! WAHOO! Spring is on its way!

This week we have a great challenge at Creative Corner Challenges sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps. Our theme is 'For Mom'.

Here is my project! Here's where you can find this awesome digi stamp! :D 'MOM' Thank you Bugaboo!!

SUPPLIES USED:

A whole lotta "what's in my stash?" has been taking place in my little crafty corner! I've been finding papers/cardstock that I never knew I owned! It has been so much fun using up what I have! :D (Making me feel not so guilty for constantly buying!! Because now, I'm finally using it! )

My lighting has been a little wonky lately, so I apologize for the lighting... AND this card is the last card I will be making with my very first blending pen which has dried up almost completely! (I've owned it for 3 years!) I've ordered a new one and I cannot wait to use it! As I was coloring the MOM part of the image, it dawned on me that my children (probably the 4 year old) had been doing some blending of her own. SO. The MOM got a little dirty. But instead of completely spazzing out and printing a new one I left it alone. Adds some character I think! Moms get dirty. The blending added a little truth to this already hilarious depiction of moms! :D

Happy Mama's Day!
