Welcome Little Buckaroo!

It's been a busy start to the week and I haven't had much time to craft. I did get a card created this afternoon following the Annabelle Stamps Sketch. I chose the Wanted paper collection from Cosmo Cricket. This is the Best Western paper out there and I just love it! The Pink Elephants challenge this week was to use the color Brown so it fit perfect.

I choose the Rocking Horse image from Squigglefly Digital images and created the sentiment with my computer. 

I giggle when I look at my photo because I was in a hurry as the baby woke up from her nap and The glossy accents on my rocking horse wasn't dry yet. I'm fairly proud of this card because ~ Boy cards are very hard for me creatively but I'm pleased with the results and had fun!

A project to help a fellow crafter!

I created these cards for an auction to raise money for a fellow crafter who has fallen upon hard times with losing her husband! There are 5 vertical and 5 Horizontal cards in the set. I will be sending to Jade Moore who will auction of sets of cards to raise money. I also created a card as a Host gift for Jade for doing this thoughtful gesture. I have already sent a private PayPal donation to help but I feel if I ever was in the same position as Claudia I would appreciate every little bit!

I will also be entering this card for the Wild Orchid crafts new Challenge Blog as I used the tiny Roses as the centers of my Prima's and some of the tiny rose buds on the bottom.

2nd post for today

Ok I know I said I didn't have a project to share but I do! While cleaning up my workspace I realized I never posted my card I made for 2 challenges. It is my first Christmas Card for the Year. A lot of challenge blogs are featuring Christmas in July so I had to do at least 1 Christmas card this month. I used the sketch from Priscilla's Midnight Madness #62 and the Digi from Squigglefly.

Let's get fancy!

Today when I sat down to craft I felt like making a Fancy page. As I pulled papers and ideas together I soon found myself creating a Layout I will frame and Hang on my wall. I think these are my favorite to create as they are not tucked in an album only looked at a few times when company comes by but Everyday.

Since the layout will be in a frame I had the freedom to give it Lots of Dimension.

A few Simple Layouts!

This past Saturday was the monthly crop for Life on the scrap beach hosted by Kathryn. I didn't have so much crafting time as normal as I was at my Besty Kim's house for the crop and had to drive home the next. So with Monday evening as the deadline I was a crafting Fool Monday afternoon. I didn't complete all the challenges but had fun with the ones I did. I kept the layouts simple but I really like how they turned out.

"I love 7gypsies"

As hard as it is to believe I think my new favorite paper manufacture is 7gypsies. For the last 4 months that is what I grab for first when making a project. Don't get me wrong I still love Cosmo Cricket but as my crafting style has changed to more of a vintage style I can't go wrong with 7gypsies! Super Excited for the New CHA releases!

Ready for the weekend!

Well I have 45 minutes left until I leave to head out on the Road To my Besty Kim's house! I'm so excited for a fun filled crafty weekend!

My 4 little Wishes come True!

This is the acrylic album I created While Kathryn hosted her Thursday Acrylic Ustream Class for Life on the Scrapbeach. I had lots of fun with this even though I'm not a fan of these types of albums! ( I still dislike them but only because they finger print so easy.) I chose to use Nature's story paper collection from Webster pages. My album is made with the intent of a shadowbox appeal when displayed on a bookshelf or coffee table. I didn't worry to much about the back sides of the pages as I just used it for Journaling my Children's full names and age at time of photo. I will enter this album into the Big Bluemoon Contest for best mini book. Wish me luck.

The look at the layered pages:
