clean&simple 208!

Here is my take:

 

 

Ok so I am having a great time jumping in and doing these card sketches.  I am not having much luck with layout sketches yet.  I completed a scrapbook for my Assistant Pastor last weekend...so I know my mojo on layouts hasn't totally left, but when I tried to do a layout this week, I didn't have much success.  I have a pretty busy weekend ahead of me so I am not sure I will be able to do anymore crafting this week. We shall see.

Thanks for reading. :)

Mojo Monday 259

My brother and sister inlaw have moved into their new home. They have invited us over as a family for dinner to see the house with all it's furnishings. I had on my agenda for this evening after church to make a card for them.  I had also prepared a sheet of skecthes that I wanted to complete and post.  As I looked over my sheet I realized the Mojo Monday Sketch is due Sunday and the others are due next friday. Soo I decided to make their card based on this sketch:

 And Here's my housewarming dinner card...lol

Products: Bazzill cardstock, My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Two Sunshine Collection;

Craft Mesh butterfly; October After Mini Market letter; Martha Stewart Ink; 

Queen &Co. Pearls (which gave me a fit that adhesive on the back is the worst, that's probably why the were $1.00)

I really like how this card came together, the sketch was so easy to work with...Wow I have been creative almost every night/morning this week ...Go Meee!!! 

Almost done my altoid tins.  That measuring and cutting was giving me a fit!!! I  am glad I only had to complete three...geez!!! after that it's on to my Fall cuts for the other swap I am in....Still thinking of what to do..hmmmmmm....

Welcome to the World of Second Grade

 

 

Today was Danielle's first day of school. Well it was a 1/2 of a school day. She was excited when she came home. Her main complaint was that it was hot.  lol. Well that's how it goes in Philadelphia School District not many of the schools have air conditioning. We will see what the next few weeks bring and how this school year goes. I am praying for a great year for my daughter and all the children everywhere.

Trying to respark my creativity

So I have been a member of facebook swap group since January.  The group is called Scrappin Sista Monthy Swaps. I have participated in two swaps successfully so far to aid in getting started being creative again.  The first was a Altered Dominoe Swap which got me to buy an embossing gun and some embossing powders for the first time. Working with the embossing powders was interesting. I wished I had worked a little more on them, but I think they turned out ok.

 I think this last swap has got be feening to try jewelry making and get back to scrapbooking.  We did a Swival Charm Swap. Here is  a sneak peek

 

I loved the end result. I will share them on my blog after the reveal is made next week. After working on these I made a few things. .  I made a pair of earrings

and I started my first SMASH book!!!\

 

My first pair of earrings!!! Go ME!!!

 

I have 2 green smashbooks got them on clearance at Michael's

 

here is my first two pages!!! documenting my trip to mac from the other week :)

 

Thanks for reading. Be back soon
