Bad Me

I know I said I would say the other card I made for those two challenges I mentioned in previous post on Sunday but life got in the way.
I have been feeling blah for the last couple of days. Allergies, prepping floor materials for my dad and the heat has gotten to me.
Here is the card I promised.

The old was the birthday stamp I have had for over 5 years. It is and old EK Success roller stamp. The new is basically everything else.

Hello

I want to show you today a card I made last week during Club CK's one-hour challenge (which this only took less than 30 minutes ti do). I also wanted to add Kim Kesti's challenge she has on her blog here. My new item is the pink polka dot paper from Pebbles and pom-pom trim from American Crafts and the old is the rest of the stuff (My Mind's Eye,, Marcella by K & Company and cardstock scraps)

I will show you anther card I made tomorrow using these two challenges again.

Independence Day Blog Hop

Welcome to your sixth stop on this fun hop. If you didn't arrive here from Devra's blog go back to Amanda's blog and work your way on through.
I was going to show you a flag I was going to make with rolled paper but was not turning out. It is strange how you envision something and when you make it it turns into a failure.
So I would have a project to share with everybody I created this quick, simple and pretty banner. This came out better than I thought.  It was great to use the red and blue cardstock that I had for years.

Supplies: cardstock, doilies, spray ink, distress stain, baker's twine and Cricut.
I hope you enjoy your stop and my projects.
Your next stop is to Jordan's blog.

Two Weeks ?

I can't believe it has been over two weeks since I last posted. My life has been busy with an injured dog, applying to four design teams and just being summer.
I want to show this page I made.

I made the flags with toothpicks and washi tape and fussy cut the flower from a floral pattern paper.
I mixed new items from my stash with some old ones. New: washi tape and title items. Old pattern papers I have had for about two years.

Supplies: Cardstock - the Paper Studio; pattern paper, flower trim, marker and stickers - American Crafts; bling and brads - My Mind's Eye; bakers twine - Doddle Bug; pom-pom trim - Simplicity; washi tape from Target and Walmart; doily.
Come back tomorrow for the Independence blog hop hosted by members on Club CK. (I am still working on my project) I told you I was busy.

Great & Grand

This page is of my brother and are great and grand mom's.
I use Creative Sketch from their one hour challenge.

I have only one border punch so I used it on the ruler paper.
Sorry for the poor quality. The photo was taken in the basement and my photo editing software was too slow to do any editing.

Celebrate Card

This card I created from a scrap pack I got at Hobby Lobby by K & CO. years ago. I pieced pieces together to make  a quilt design. I did this for the Frosted Designs Friday challenge.

Artful Delight Projects

This is my first time ever doing both sketch challenges over at Artful Delight. The sketches can be found here

My Dad

I am sure you have a love one that makes a funny face whenever you take a snapshot, for me it is my Dad. If I take ten photos of him half of them would be funny. Since he always does this I thought it would be a great layout to capture him. I used #11 sketch from Let's Get Sketchy

Card Sketch

Hi, am just popping in to share my newest card sketch I created for a card game over at Club CK.

Remember you can find this and more of my sketches here on my blog under the " Card Sketches" tab.

Mother's Day Hop

Welcome to your third stop. If you didn't come by the way of Melissa Johnson., go back to the start to Amanda because you don't want to miss any of these projects.
I am going to share with you a card and a necklace I made for my mom this year.
The card was made with three different collections from Cosmo Cricket (Early Bird, Salt Air and Jolly By Jolly - the banner was made with it)

 Up next is a rolled flower necklace. I know it is not the kind of necklace you had in mind but my mom like camouflage material so I thought she would love this.

All you need is:
1 1/2" x 15" strip of fabric folded in half width-wise.
Chain
Hot glue
Beads
Felt

Steps
1. Cut a 2" circle out of felt.
2. Glue one end of the strip in the center. Twist stripe and glue down. Let it coil around itself.
3. Trim any excess felt off the flower.
4. Cut a strip of felt and glue to center of chain so it looks like a tab. Glue tab to back of flower.
5.Glue on you beads.

Your next stop is to Robyn .
Enjoy.

Robin's Nest Review.

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to win a gift card over at Robin's Nest. It was the first time I ever bought stuff from them and let me say I was impressed with most of the stuff I ordered.
Here is what I got.

Front side of paper

Reverse side of papers

Stickers, clipies and ribbon

Pros:

1. The papers are great quality, sturdy and most of them are double sided, which I didn't know until I got them. 
2. The Santa clippies are made with a sturdy chipboard that has a slight give which makes it easier to side over ribbon or paper. 
3. I just love that blinged out ribbon it came with the extra bonus rope. I already use some of the rope. 
4. Shipping was very reasonable. It only cost $5 to ship it to Michigan from Utah. 

Cons:

1. Sad thing was the stickers. They looked like something you could print off yourself at home and their print quality was poor. It looked like on the birthday ones their printer was running low on ink which left ink lines through the images.

Conclusion:
I am happy with my stuff but will stay away from the stickers next time I order from them.
