So here is my card

Now for the twist...

LOL I totally forgot that there was a twist...heehee

it is to use 3 or more patterned papers...

and yeah as you can see I failed that one miserably...lol

but the card is still pretty cute...right

I used Marks Finest Papers ~  Spring Flowers Stamp Set

I stamped the image using Craft Whisper White ink pad from Stampin Up...

the sentiment also from the same stamp set was stamped using Archival Ink Jet Black

some ribbon and some tags from the stash...

Pretty simple or CAS as they say it...

Well hop on over to Sketch with a Twist Challenge #2

Good Monday Morning ~ MyGrafico

Oh my is it Monday already...

I am so not ready for this week to begin...

Well this week we have this fun file to work with...

MyGrafico Wedding File

and I so did not know what do to with it...

so I decided to do a digital scrapbook page

using the silver rings to show my rings that I got

on my wedding day...

Oh, don't you just love those

pictures on your wedding day

the picture of the rings

Joining the hands together...

this has to be one of my favorite

pictures at my wedding,

it's been almost 8 years now.

What beautiful years that have gone by

what a blessing I have to be married

to my very best friend...

I am so blessed !!!

oh, OK enough of that mushy stuff...

back to real business...

I used Photoshop CS5 to create this layout...

I am not the best at digital scrap booking,

But boy, this would be a great file for those bridal shower invitations, wedding announcements and any other fancy dress day...Even a New Years party, this file would work for that too...

Be sure to hop on over the the Challenge blog at MyGrafico and see all the great creations the design team has come up with...

Happy Monday, hope your week is full of fun, smiles and crafting.

I hope I have inspired just 1 person today...

Happy Craft'n

Sunday ~ Funday

As the weekend comes to a close...

I wanted to share with you a little something

"Bee Happy"

I used the Tutorial Time on Speedy TV

for this little card

I used the technique that they showed but added my own touch to it...

Instead of a Side Step Card...

I did a Middle Step hard...

the same but different...

oh I hope it still counts 

as I am putting this card in this challenge...

keeping my fingers crossed...

C ya all tomorrow for a MyGrafico file to share...

Happy Craft'n

Tutorial Time on Speedy TV ~  step card

Post It Notes ~

Oh all the little things you can do with all those little post it notes...

Well, today I was hop'n around YouTube

and discovered this great tutorial on 

Post It Note Key Chain

so yeah this is not my original idea but hey that's how we get our ideas, right...

so I grabbed some scrap card stock 

cut it to 3 1/4 x 2

scored it at 1 9/16 and again at 1 11/16.

kind of hard to do on the score board but I managed to get it using my

Martha Stewart Score board, I love it...

anyway

I added some embellishments and there you have these great little key chains...

I tried to get my 16 yr old son to take one for the car key,

but he insisted that his girlfriend have it...heehee...

well for the pictures....

tada....

These are the little post it notes that measure 1 1/2 by 2 inches...

they were way fun to put together...

and fast too...

so fast I made 4 of them in just about 30 minutes...less watching YouTube videos...lol

I think I have a new addiction...watching crafting tutorials...

speaking of which...

I have one on the drawing board now...

I will keep you posted as to when I get it done, if ever...heehee

no really I am doing it on the ....

oh I can't tell you just yet...

you all have a happy rest of the weekend...

C ya Monday for 

a MyGrafico Project...

Oh and AGAIN Happy Day !!!

Oh I got a bit busy this morning...

got up way way way too early...

I think in the middle of the night...

anyway I had these cards that I wanted to post for today...

and I wanted to enter a challenge so

Here is card # 3

Happy Birthday USA

the happy birthday is a stamped/embossed image, it's a MFPaHC stamp...yeah again...

from the same set...its such a great set to start with...

some ric rac on some ribbon which is on ribbon...

a flower cut with my cameo and some bling from the stash

I got these great letter brads from a friend, what a nice friend, huh...

and they were all white but I wanted different colors so I heat embossed the 's' and it worked great

I got the blue color I wanted...just stamped the brad with Versa Mark ink

then dipped it into the embossing powder and used the heat gun to set the embossing powder...

easy as that...a friend told me I could do that...but I had not done it yet...

I can see me doing that again...

Well that's about it for this card...

Happy 4th of July ~

oh did I say that already today...

LOL...

I told you that I might have a few posts today...

this is # 2 for today...and more to come...

OK so you cant read the ink on the ribbon that well

but it says

"Cherish you Blessings"

is another one of MFPaHC stamps from the stamp set I won a few weeks ago...

I just love these stamps...so easy to use... and they give such a good 

stamped image each time...

I used my Cameo to etch the metal with a heart/flag if you can see that...

and embossed the blue card stock with my Texture Boutique...it's kind of like

a big shot but cannot die cut...it only embosses and it small and totally convenient  for me...

so there you have another Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co Spring flowers collection...

So for today we got Fancy Flowers Digital Stamp Set

Don't you just love Lindsay's Stamp Stuff !!

how fun are these pretty flowers...

Now I wanted to 

'think' out side the box...

so this week I made this little tiny gable box...

It turned out so cute...I found this sentiment to go with it in my stash of files...

who knows where I really got it...lol

I used the print and cut feature with my cameo,

pulled the digi stamps on to the virtual mat

print the images on my wonderful large format printer...

oh how I love that printer...heehee

then colored these flowers with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers...

on they make me fell like I am an artist...

I love how I can blend the colors and I know that I am only a beginner !!!
