Howdy Folks!!

Today I am sharing my second design team project for Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges. :D  This challenge is a color challenge, but there's a fun, little twist to it.  Here's what you do: 1) pick a color that begins with your first name & 2) add another color.  Neutrals are "free."  If you need ideas for a color, Rachelle (our leader) has a link to more options on the Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges blog. Here is the icon for the challenge: 


I picked aqua for "A" (Angie) & gold as my second color.

Unfortunately, the gold paper & ribbon look more brown than gold.  But they both have a nice, gold shimmer in real life.

 

I included a little message on the inside that I typed with my typewriter.  Yes, folks, I have a typewriter. :D  I've had that thing since high school and it's still kicking! :)

I used a stencil from the Crafter's Workshop & a gold colored pencil to draw/trace my birdcage.  Then I used glossy accents on the bird and gold ink/marker on the birdcage.

(Supplies: cardstock, stencil- Crafter's Workshop, glossy accents, ribbon, gold colored pencil, gold ink- Smooch, pearls- Doodle Bug, typewriter)

So what colors would you pick?  Go get crafty and be sure to post your project(s) by Feb. 6.  :D
Thank you for stopping in to visit and have a great day!!!

Happy Crafting,

Hello!

Howdy!

How is your week going so far?  I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around the fact that Thanksgiving and Christmas are ALMOST here!!!!  Wow, where did the YEAR go?...

Well, today I am sharing a super, duper simple card.  I actually began making this card for a challenge and it was not going as I intended, so I set it aside for a few days.  But I didn't want to leave it unfinished, so I just added a few things and left it CAS.

(Supplies: cardstock, white & red ink, flower stencil- Martha Stewart, ribbon, sentiment- Pebbles)

See?  I told you it was super, duper simple. :) 
Enjoy the rest of your week and gracias for stopping by.  :)

Happy Crafting,

Found Mojo! Late for Challenge.

Hi Crafty Friends!

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  I was having trouble finding my mojo recently.  But I found it last night!!! :D  I was able to craft up a little storm (I'll be sharing those creations later on).  The first card I am sharing was actually created earlier in the week when I was itching to craft but didn't have much energy.  I used a paper stencil I already had to create the hearts.  I simply filled in the hearts with a sponge dauber, added the sentiment, and some sequins.  It was a really quick card.

(Supplies: heart stencil, red ink- Color Box, sponge dauber, arrow stamp- Heidi Swapp, sentiment- Teresa Collins, sequins)


The next card was for a challenge, but I just realized that I am LATE!  So what's new?...  :-)'  Anyways, the challenge was to use kraft, red, and white for a Christmas card.  Here is my interpretation:

The red panel is actually a leftover strip of "velvety" paper.  I haven't been able to find it again.  It's hard to tell, but I added a tiny drop of white glitter glue to the snowflakes.

(Supplies: Snowflake stamp- Stampendous!, sentiment- Recollections, pearls- David Tutera, white glitter glue- Martha Stewart, red velvet paper,  white ink- Color Box)

My fellow crafters, bloggers, and friends I want to thank you for your patience and for stopping by today.  :)  Have a wonderful, crafty weekend.

Happy Crafting,
Angie

Just Delightful!

Hola Everyone!!

I hope you are relaxing this weekend.  I rarely get the chance to pop in 2 days in a row.  But today I have a sweet little card that I'm entering in a different challenge.  I recently discovered the adorable Artful Delight blog.  So this card is for their card sketch challenge.  By the way, they have a design team call!!! :)

Important Dates

Happy Saturday!!

Summer is ending but not in my town!!  Still blazing hot here.  So I am content to stay indoors & craft.  Well, today I would like to share a little creation that I made to help me remember important stuff.  I use to have a good memory.  Then I started college and all my important information (birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries) got crowded out of there, hehe.  I have missed waaaaayyyy too many important events, so I needed to have a way to remember those dates.  Enter my "Party Time (Important Dates)" Flip Book.  I do have an address book that has a section for birthdays.  But I RARELY use it.
I wish I could say this idea was ALL mine. :)  But I actually got the idea from Eva Pizzaro's blog at evascrap.blogspot.com.  She is another fabulous crafter!
 
Here is the cover.  I drew the balloons by free-hand, so they aren't perfect.  Neither is much else.  :p 

Cover
 

 The butterfly & balloons were painted with watercolors.


 

 

I created a page for each month.

 



I think this is much cuter than my old, ugly address book.  Now I BETTER not forget any more important events.

 

Supplies: chipboard, tan cardstock, pattern paper (for banners), Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist, TCW template, cupcake stamp, watercolors, pink glitter glue, clear letter stickers, & ribbon

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

 

Happy Crafting,
