Howdy Everyone!
How is your week going so far? I bet many of you parents are THRILLED that the kiddos are back in school, right? ;) The kids? Probably not. :)
Well, today I am stopping by to share my project for the new challenge at Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges. The new challenge is to use a technique (i.e. paper piecing, stamping, distressing, etc.) on a card, layout, canvas, mini album, or "off the page" creation.
Let's begin. :D
This is quite a powerful little quote.
The prominent technique I used was watercoloring with distress markers. I also did some stitching, and light distressing with an ink applicator. I added glossy accents over her boots, but it's hard to tell.
(Supplies: cardstock; pattern paper- My Mind's Eye; distress markers; distress ink in Antique Linen- Tim Holtz; paint brush; water; black ink- Memento; sewing machine; sequins; glossy accents; stamps- Unity Stamp Co.)
So now I challenge you to go get crafty and then link up your creation here. And while you're there, check out the awesome creations by my DT partners.

Hello Friends!
I know the weekend seems loooong gone, even though it's only Tuesday. At any rate, I hope you enjoyed it. I know that my blog has been pretty quiet this summer due to mini vacations and many other things. But another reason for the quietness is due to a new job!! It has been a whirlwind lately with interviews, meetings and lots of running around to meet requirements. I am truly blessed to have this job, but since it's a brand new arena for me, I need to devote a bit of extra time to it.
I say all this to let you know that even though it's quiet, I will pop in from time to time. Hopefully, once I've learned the ropes and settled in, I'll be posting more often. Ok, enough jabbering. ;) Let's get to the craftiness.
I recently realized that 99% of my creations are girly, so I decided to make a "boyish" birthday card. This card is inspired by one of Mendi Yoshikawa cards. Love her bright, fun style!
I used glossy accents on certain parts of the ice-cream, and I love how it looks like it's melting.
(Supplies: cardstock; circle punch; stamps- Papertrey Ink & Imaginisce; pattern paper- stash; glossy accents; black ink)
I wanted to add sequins, but I figured they weren't "boyish" enough. :) Well, dear friends, I wish you a great day and I appreciate your visit.
Happy Crafting,
Angie
Hola Everyone!
Are you enjoying your week? Mine has been busy, yet fulfilling. :D
Well, I am stopping by to share my latest project for Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges. The new theme is "girly." You can create a card, layout, canvas, mini album, or "Off the Page" creation.
So after much consideration, I settled on creating gift cards in the shape of coin purses. Let's begin. :)
I used a gel pen to add some shine around the "buckle" and I used distressing ink around the edges of the coin purses.
And since I had some extra tan-flowered paper, I made a coordinating card. I added faux stitching with the gel pen.
(Supplies for purses and card: cardstock; pattern paper- Recollections & American Crafts; die-cut purses and flower- Cameo; rhinestone; gel pen; sequins; stamp- Unity Stamp Co.; distress ink in Picked Raspberry & Antique Linen; black ink- Memento)

So what will you create for this "girly" theme? I would love to see your ideas, so go link them up here.
And thank you so very much for stopping by. I totally appreciate your visit. :D
Happy Crafting,

Howdy Friends!!
I hope you had a great weekend.
Well, guess what? I actually have a craft post. Yay! So let's get to the fun. :)
I've had limited crafting time, so I was glad that this card came together fairly quick.
Notice those tiny silver dots? I used a silver pen around the damask design to give it a bit of pizzazz, but it's hard to tell in the picture.
(Supplies: cardstock; pattern paper- My Mind's Eye; butterfly punch- Martha Stewart; sentiment- Papertrey Ink; silver rhinestone; silver gel pen; white ink)
Well, dear friends, it's a short and sweet post today, since there's a million and one things to do. But I greatly appreciate your visit. :D
Happy Crafting,
Angie
