I used Removable ruler tape on this project, something that was meant to be temporary.

I was inspired by the Don't Throw it Away Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Here's another cool discovery for me....chalk on black paper!

Yes, it works!

I used it for the cross in the apple and the tick marks on the sides.

I went outside (I say this every time because the stuff smells STRONG-be warned) and sprayed fixative on it so it won't smear.

I panicked when the chalk DISAPPEARED.

But then, like magic.

It REAPPEARED.

Very cool.

I created this card for one of my girlies' Sunday School Teachers.

She loves what she does and loves her kids.

You can tell. ;)

Another Gadgety Card-All Seasons

Good morning, thanks for stopping by today. ;)

I have a card to share that I'm excited about.

Papertrey's Make It Monday #30 Colored Pencils,

Moxie Fab's Tuesday Trigger: Nice and Neutral 

and

The Vertical Sketch Challenge In Card Ideas Week

motivated me to create this.

The added leaves and corn were colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Wait!

 There's More~

Here are the other seasons individually.

 WINTER

 SPRING

and finally,

SUMMER.

There's a pocket inside to hold it all.

The "flag" was inspired by Teri Anderson's flag tutorial.



I used a lollipop stick colored with a Copic marker.

WHY the All Season Card?

I have an Aunt who is sooooo faithful in sending my family a card for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.  

All these years...I've managed to get a Christmas card out...but that's it.

I think she deserves this, don't you?

I made this especially for her.

 

Thank you again for stopping by today, hope this was inspiring. ;)

Thank You Sign

My husband calls me gadget girl.

I am fascinated by things that move; toys that are neato and multipurpose items.

I had to pray when we test drove a van years ago, because I was visibly "sold" at 14 cup holders and removable seats that drop into the floor.

I'm just not strong enough to resist cool stuff (unless it's beyond our budget, of course). ;)

However, I love when I can make gadgety crafts.

This isn't mind-blowing or anything, but I think it's sorta gadgety.

See the wittle sign????

That's it, just thought it was fun. ;)

It DOES weigh the card forward a bit, so I slapped a magnet on the back to balance it.

I was motivated to color with pencils by

Papertrey's Make It Monday #30 Colored Pencils

challenge and tutorial by Jennifer.

Inspiration also by

~Flourish's Timeless Tuesday #133

I picked SHAPED CARD~PINK~DISTRESSING for my card.

Thank you for stopping by. ;)

Banner Border From All of Us

I love the look of banners!

 Simply Scrapping Crafts July Challenge Banners motivated me to make a card with a banner border. ;)

 I made my own design by cutting down tags and piecing them like a quilt.

I added rhinestones to cover the holes.

The pretty colors at Color Throwdown #152 were my inspiration.

 Card Patterns Sketch 125 also inspired me.

Thanks for peeking at my card. ;)

Recycled Butterfly and a Verse

Use something recycled and ODBD stamps for Stamping in Time #39.

This recycled item can be something from a previous project you haven't used or are reusing.

I recycled a butterfly and two die cut pieces in my stash.

I lay a black recycled strip of cardstock on white cardstock and cut out 1/3 of a CM Jumbo Blooming Star. I then "ticked" it and mounted it on a card base. I stamped some designs and mounted flower petals that were stamped on DP and cut out. 

I used a recycled cut from Spellbinders Label Four and cut a smaller piece of white to stamp the verse on.


 Look at this beautiful verse from ODBD You are the Potter.

 

I then layered another recycled portion of a Spellbinders Label Eleven to set on the black bottom strip.

A whole lot of recycling going on here! ;)

Thank you for stopping by. ;)

Kids Grieve Too

Between Papertrey Ink's MIM #16 Sympathy Card inspiration and Just Add Ink's colors

I was able to create a card today.

     The only other time I've used this stamp, was when a young girl's grandfather had died.  It is a sweet image that looks as though the pup is comforting the little girl.  I know how much emotional healing our dog can bring....there are no words, many times, for the pain we feel.  That is what's great about animals...they say so much without speaking.

Thank you for peeking in today. ;)
