180 Movie

I know I haven't posted in a while and almost all my posts are craft related, however I just wanted to make a quick post to share this movie with you all since I believe it sends a powerful message about an issue that I feel strongly about. Please take a moment to watch it if you haven't seen it yet, but I wouldn't recommend watching it with young children as there are some disturbing images. http://www.180movie.com/

Grad Card for my Cousin

Here's a card I made for my cousin's graduation. I used an Edwin stamp from Magnolia-licious, which is actually called Groom Edwin, but I thought he made a great graduation card. I also entered him into this week's Shopping Our Stash challenge to use, Red, Roses or Ribbon.

Happy Birthday to my Brother-in-law

I made this card for my brother-in-law for his birthday. I used this Spesch stamp called Birthday Boy Unwrapped, which you can find some of these cute stamps still in my store, Paper Jewels, for super cheap, as I'm closing out.

Nurse Abigail

My sister-in-law has been in the hospital, so I decided to make her a card using this adorable Abigail stamp from PaperWorks Co. I also played along in one of their sketch challenges (#92) while I was at it.

What do you think? I need opinions!

I've been busy making these headbands for my girls and I am enjoying it so much, that I thought maybe I should start making a bunch to sell at trade shows. Before I jump into that though, I want opinions on whether or not you would stop and want to buy any of these if you saw them at a trade show and if you feel that $5.00 would be a fair price for each. Don't worry about being honest, I want to know your thoughts! :)

Thanks so much for your help!

PWCO Colour Challenge # 5

This was the first card and my favorite of the ones I made for the PaperWorks Challenges. This one was made using Janet's colour choices of blue and white. I used one of the Rachelle Anne Miller stamps called Flaky Friends.

Still playing along with the PaperWorks Challenges and this card was made using Danielle's colours (White, Gold & Wine). I used Zach the basketball player for this card.

PWCO Colour Challenge # 8

PaperWorks just had their newest release and each DT member posted a colour challenge based on their choice in wedding colours. I got busy playing along, and this is what I came up with for Steph's challenge. She wanted us to use purple, black and white. I decided to make a bookmark using Zoe the Zebra. You can tell I was tired at this point because, it's pretty plain and my brain couldn't come up with a way of making it look better. It was after 1am when I made this and it was the last of the 4 projects I made last night.

Happy Birthday to My 4 year old!

Today is my son's birthday and he's turning 4! He requested a card with a purple dinosaur, so here's what I created for him. While I was at it, I decided to cater to a few challenges and one of them was to use a technique that I hadn't done in a while and so I chose to play with my brayer. I haven't used that in a year or more, but I really like how the background turned out. I coloured the image, which is another adorable fairy stamp from Paper Makeup Stamps called Carter the Dino fairy, with Copics.
