LOVE YOU

I finally got to create with Papertrey Ink's free download.

It kind of looks like a baseball, doesn't it? LOL

I didn't want to add another layer...so I Post-It Noted it and added Aqua Mist ink directly to the cardbase.

I am submitting this to Papertrey Ink's Anniversary Recipe Card Challenge

There is still time to enter this challenge...and much more going on~check it out!

Another Thrilling Creation

Timed challenges are about all the excitement my nerves can handle.

I could NEVER be on one of those game shows that require racing the clock.

I can't even imagine the look on my face as the time dwindled down to under 20 seconds.

YIKES!!!

I took a scrap left over from the previous post and created another card for the

Papertrey Ink Timer Challenge.

In under 7 minutes I gathered:

3 papers (one patterned, one patterned scrap, 1cardbase)

2 stamps

Versamark Ink

Embossing Powder

Up to the last second of 17 minutes, I finished this card.

I even felt ambitious enough to heat emboss!

After failed proper inking and much trimming and rearranging...I finally have a finished card.

It wasn't what I started out with...but I really like it in the end.

If you feel brave enough, give it a go! ;)

7 & 17 Timed Card

7 minutes to gather, 17 minutes to create.

Are you up for it?

I just dove in before over thinking it....

Papertrey Ink Timer Challenge

In just under 7 minutes, I gathered 7 supplies:

1 stamp set

2 dies

2 papers (patterned and cardstock)

2 inks

Under 17 minutes, with 1 minute and 27 seconds to spare, I created this...

I've been literally daydreaming about stamping with these Meadow Greens ...sigh, I finally got to play!

I followed the basic layout of my last post~my brain froze and I needed a plan.

I want to send out a post-sympathy card (not quite sympathy but comforting) and this sentiment was perfect.

I hope to play more, if my nerves can handle it, HA!!

Doubly Blessed

 I love using Papertrey's Counting My Blessings dies.


They serve as such great focal points as far as sentiments go.

Now I love them doubly so with a technique featured at

Make It Monday #151:Drop Shadow Die Cuts

hosted by Betsy Veldman.

What's even easier~is they fit through the small Xyron Sticker Maker~YAYYYYY!

I ran each layer through~easy peasy guys!

Top left corner is a wee bit rebellious...but not too much to be scandalous. ;)

Happy Wife, Happy Life

You can't have one without the other if you flip these two phrases around...

just ask my husband. ;)

He swears by the motto...

HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE.

hee! I can't imagine why....

?????

So, picture my delight when I spotted this label in my Jillibean Soup-Funny Sayings Soup Labels collection.

I hope this is ok for CASology's Cue Card this week...

since these phrases go together like "?" & "?".

I LOVE letting it all hang out on a card...but I've learned over time to make sure it fits an envelope before letting that element stretch too far past the cardbase.

   

It broke my heart to bend features on a card to squeeze it in my largest envelope on hand...

but it was the only way to get it in the mail in the next six months...lol

Hope you're enjoying your day today friends~

You're the Best Comfort Zone!

Oh I'm all about crafting in my comfort zone~

Wplus 9 Birthday Celebration Week 1: Comfort Zone.

I used a couple of my comfort zone techniques here that bring a smile to my face.

My favorite Wplus9 stamp/die combo is Written On Ribbon~there are many sentiment possibilities to combine on the flowing ribbon image.

I used my Fiskars crimper for the black panel....I LOVE ADDING TEXTURE~and I splattered.

The Dylusions turqoise spray~now that was fun~but splattering/dabbing with my black Copic marker...

oh how it makes me smile!

I don't know why...I'm sure it's because I get to "let loose" a little and feel artistic in the process.

If I were you... and you've got a Wplus9 product in your stash...I would give the challenge a go~there's a generous prize to be had!

Have a great day friends~thanks for swinging by today~
