My Favorite Thing Color Challenge

Hello there! It's Wednesday and what better reason to create something cute:)

I am playing today with the Color Challenge from the girls over at the My Favorite Things Blog.

I have to admit-it wasn't an easy challenge. but where's the fun in non challenging challenge, right?  I saw the name of one of the colors- green-eyes monster and I immediately though- something for my nephews! I have 3 crazy little nephews and one of them recently stated that I am fun! Oh, Boy!!!! 

Now I have to live up to my reputation :)

This is what I came up with. I think it turned out good.

Game day crafting

Hello Everybody! It's Sunday! It's a game day! And even though I'm watching the game I'm trying to get some crafting in. FInal product  is bellow

I had this adorable flower stamp for quite some time and I have no idea how I never used it before. I cut around it, I colored it and it turned into this adorable accessory. I had a little help from the girls from Freshly Made Sketches (who offered the sketch) and from the Color Throwdown (who suggested the color combo). And since the gals over at Word Art Wednesday reminded me to be encouraging and supportive, I dug into my Verve Stamps collection for this simple, but quite meaningful sentiment

Hello…Call me, maybe?

It's Thursday!

 Not that it matters, but I am off today, so I have time to craft. That being said-here's my creation:

I started by following the sketch offered by the Gals at Retro Sketch Challenges and mixed it with the Color recipe  from ColorQ blog.And since Little Tangles were waiving at me, saying Hi, I said Hello back. The result- Retro Color Q mash :) 

Who knows, maybe it's a sigh that Adele and Carly Rae Jepsen need to  collaborate and have a hit together

With Love

 Sometimes I start working on a project and the project just don't happen. 

That was the case with this one. I wanted to play with the gals at Retro Sketches and ColorQ, but I ran out of time. I was late. By a week…

I was trying to finish the card and I had this creative block that was sabotaging my good intentions. So yeah, that's it-I'll go with that :)

Anyway, it's finally done!

Papertrey November Blog Hop Challenge

A quick Holiday project to join the festivities over at the Papertrey Ink. 

I used their beautiful image for inspiration and followed the Sketch from Reverse Confetti. With little exception all the materials I used are recycled-the base for the card is a part of a gift box, the ribbon is from a party favor from a wedding and the rest are just scrap papers. I hope you enjoy it :)

Mojo Monday

I created a quick but oh, so fun card with the help of the Mojo Monday Sketch.

This one goes to my little Nephew.
I really hope he'll like it-I'm never too sure if they are not too old for it or too young ... Anyway, he is 6 and I really hope he'll enjoy it

The Yellow panel is actually a pocket and inside is this little tag with this adorable Squirrel.

Case This Sketch

I am creating with the Case This Sketch Gals today

I had this set with robots for about 5 years. I bought it when my nephew was born with the idea to make something for him when he's a little bit older. As you can imagine, I totally forgot about it. Now I'm afraid that he might be a little bit too old for robots... But finally I got to use them

A Stamping Royalty Challenge

Papertrey Ink is having a challenge inspired by some of their release projects.

I got inspired by The simple and elegant card made by the talented Nichole Heady. I am not quite ready to start working on Christmas Card but I can definitely get a head start on some other Holidays. 

 I like to work on a few challenges at the same time because it's more fun and all the decisions are made for me. Like for today's project I used the color combo that the Lovely Ladies over at the Stamping Royalties offered.  And since Simon Says wanted us to go with Dies-oh, well, who am I to argue with Simon, right :)

Retro Colour Q

Jumping in with a quick project for Retro Sketch Challenge.

I used the Colour Q color  formula. And while I was working on it I learned a valuable life lesson. Here it is- if your hands are shaky you should probably avoid working with sequins. I tipped the box and they went flying all over the room- and I mean ALL OVER :)

My Favorite Things challenge

I tried something new and different today and I might say- I like how it turned out. The Gals at MFT are having this little (wink, wink) challenge that I decided to participate in 

I used their beautiful Leafy Flourish die to decorate my design- it brough so much movement and life.

I used the color combo offered from the Gals at The Colour Q and combined it with the sketch from Case This Sketch.  This is the first time I'm using embossing paste- a little bit challenging but the results are worth the effort :)
