Little Bits Card Challenge

Well hello there…..

Challenge #3 is up over at the CKCB 

 to make a Card

from little bits and bobs

as I call them =)

So I need to tell y'all something…..

I am a cardaphobic.

I feel so completely rattled 

when I make them.

I have tried to over come this

and being on the design team

has really helped, 

because when I have just bits and pieces

I try to make some cards

to help finish up my kits.

But I ALWAYS have to have

a card to scrap lift.

Yes I am a mess.  

A cardaphobic…..mess =)

So for this challenge

I did what any 

card fearing scrapper does…..

go to Pinterest.

I checked out card after lovely card.

I mean seriously,

there are some talented card makers out there,

and I don't even think they hyperventilate

when they make them.

They are my card making heroes!

So this is the lovely I decided to lift.

I mean seriously,

this is an amazing card!!!

And here is my version.

I sifted through my stash

and found a package of plain post cards,

and got to crafting.

I'm so sorry for the picture quality.

Because of my cardaphobia, 

I waited until THE very last minute 

to make this card.

So no natural light coming in.

But lets roll with it,

shall we?

OOOO I love it!!!

Here is my version of the snowflake Christmas tree.

Sir Cuteness helped me make the Christmas tree.

He did the sequins and the star.

He loves helping me!!!

I really love this postcard so much,

and made it with the thought of making it

a lovely little hanging for Christmas.

Everytime I make a card

and do not need a paper bag to breathe

into, I consider it a win =)

This challenge was really fun…..

and challenging

and a win.  =)

Thank you SO much for stopping by.

Layout #2 + Campscrap

So for my second LO for my CKC June Kit,
I used this sketch from May's Camp Scrap class.
I LOVE this sketch.

And here is my take on it.
I love using 4x4's and this LO uses one,
stacked on 6x6, which I don't utilize enough.
I added those 6x6's in since I didn't have any
pulled for my kit.

Here is a little banner.
Isn't she lovely?

I love this tag and this lovely journal card.
And this Amy Tan Paper from her older Sketch Book line.
Swoon.

Yes you do I spy some Maggie Holmes in there (photo corners, "happy" sticker, and frame).
I'm pretty sure we could be BFF's =)
I love her style!!
And her products!

A little title and twine fun ~~

This was such a fun day!!!
(I'm in the bathroom of the Keeter Center here).  =)

This was a fun, Fun, FUN LO!!!!!

And just for good measure,
I'll show ya this card I made for Camp Scrap.
I am NOT much of a card maker.
I've made a few here and there,
but not on a regular basis.
So this card challenge,
our first "Make -N- Take" of class,
(yes it is online.  fun, I know :)
was just wonderful for me to try my hand at.
I love the final product.

So there you have it for LO #2 and my added bonus card =)

Have a Blessed and Beautiful,

Kit Cards

So I wanted to share with you two cards that I have made so far with my "kit".  

The first one is a card for a young lady that is battling cancer.

She is 26 and found out around Christmas that she has a rare form of Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

So this is a card that I'm going to send her and her Husband,

and I'll tuck a gift card to the movie theater inside.

The word "enjoy" are chipboard letters I distressed by sanding and inking the edges with my blue Distress

Ink Pad.  

The stickers are a pack I have had for ever so long,

and am so glad to be able to use them.

Here is the inside of the card. 

I liked how the ribbon looks on the inside as well.

I'm enjoying ribbon and baker's twine used like this.

It adds a pretty embellishment and also ties everything together

color wise, very nicely.

A little closer look at the detail.

I love details =)

(Why yes that is a little Mist in there to give it a shine.....

thanks for asking =)

Here is my second card.

This one I will send to my brother.

He lives about 3 1/2 hours from us and we hardly ever see him.

He's been on my heart a lot lately,

so thought I'd send him a little card to let him know I'm thinking about him.

This is a scrap of paper I had that works just famously for this.

I LOVE using up my scraps.

I have a lot of them =)

I also cut out a banner I had and looped a little baker's twine on the edge.

I love that look.

I distressed with I think Gathered Twig (love that color),

and added a little telephone sticker and button and brad on top of another scrap.

Here is a look at the inside of the card.

I tore a piece of the same paper as the corner on the front.

This ties it together so lovely.

Well, there are my first two cards so far.

I have a birthday card and also another card I'm making to have in my stash I'll share soon.

Thanks for stopping by.....

Much Crafty Love ~~
