Hello There

Hi there! Just thought I'd stop by real quick with a card. I have been busy in the craft room and have been having a blast with a bunch of new goodies! I have actually been trying to post this since yesterday, but keep getting sidetracked with my new stamps.

I hope you're having a crafty day!
ETA: I ended up changing up the sentiment on this card. The original was bugging me, so I changed it so I could quit obsessing over it. LOL.

Simon Says Stamp Favorite Tool Challenge~Birthday Pocket Card

I am back with another card share for the Simon Says Stamp Use Your Favorite Tool Challenge. All of my tools are my favorite tools, but I thought I'd share a card using my latest favorite...my little sewing machine. I just LOVE the look of machine stitching on cards, so a while back I bought a Janome Sew Mini on eBay. I used to have a regular size machine, but I ended selling it long before my paper crafting addiction began. I have to say this little machine works great. Perfect for card making and doesn't take up too much space in my craft room. Okay, on to the card...

My mom needed a birthday card for my aunt and I wanted it to be extra special. I used a sketch from Paper Crafts "Card Ideas for Paper Crafters" (pg. 92) and was inspired, in particular, by the fabulous Julia Stainton's card featured in the issue. I thought the double-sided paper was just perfect for this design.

I found a perfect sister poem on the internet and printed it out on cardstock for the pocket insert. Mom was happy and my aunt loved it!

Well, that's it for me! It is very late and I'm off to bed. Good night!

Butterflies and Lawn Fawn Grand Greetings

Happy Monday! I feel the need to blab for a minute, so I won't be offended if you are just here for the card and just wanna scroll on down!!

I don't know where the time has gone since my last post, but I have actually been super busy in my craft room. So busy, in fact, I guess I just forgot to post...LOL. I also took Tim Holtz's Creative Chemistry 101 Class. I cannot even begin to tell you how much knowledge I gained from this class! If you haven't taken it, I highly recommend it! If you are reading this, then without a doubt, there is some sort of Ranger product on your work space. You really learn how to get the most out of your products with a gazillion techniques that you will use over and over. I am obsessed with Distress Ink "anything" and I have been having so much fun getting inky! Okay, my infomercial is over for now! I'll be back another day with some of the tags created while taking the class.

I have TONS to share with you in the upcoming days. There just may be a giveaway involved, too! I am so excited to be back to blogging! I actually feel "caught up" now to where I can post regularly.

Today's card was one I threw together at the last minute for a friend's birthday. I apologize for the picture quality, as I was literally taking the picture as I was walking out the door to go meet her for dinner. I didn't have a birthday card I liked for her and I have been on a butterfly kick lately. I will explain my butterfly obsession on another post.

I quickly stitched some punched butterflies together on my sewing machine and left two little threads sticking up for the antennae. I wish my picture showed this better, but I was in such a hurry!! Some pearls, a gem, misting, a sentiment, and I called it done.

Thanks for stopping by! I will be back soon with another card. Have a happy day!
