What's On Your Desk Challenge

Greetings all!

I hope this post finds you very well and crafting away! We received out first Design Team Assignment for Crafty Card Gallery and it gave me the excuse to use items on my desk that I have never touched. As some of my followers know, I am an Independent Consultant for Creative Memories and my own best customer. I love the products and had ordered some Christmas paper and embellishments and the new Hexagon Place n Punch. Well I whipped this card up in 5 mins flat! 

Now to get you in the Christmas mood, you can look here for your own ideas. I plan on making a gazzillion of these for sure! Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful day. Until next time....

Look Ma what I made....

Well, a 3 day weekend has done me good! Actually, the Cameo Silhouette has done me good too. I have been a crafting maniac since Saturday. I have made some projects I cannot share yet (they are future blog posts), wrote a magazine article and crafted with my friend Deneen today (I love when we get together). Well today I broke out some tear animal patterns that I bought awhile ago. Thanks to my other FB friend Staci (aka Precious Memories Scrapbooking & More) for teaching me about these! I decided to do two versions. Here they are:

I think they make the cutest couple!!! They may re-appear on a card one of these days :) Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a craftingly good week! Until next time....

CCG Blogaversary Challenge - Day Two

Good morning:

Here is another wonderful challenge from Crafty Card Gallery. We were given various cuts and colors of vinyl. The requirement was to make one card and one project. Well, my second project is my card. Again I went with the nautical theme and used my Cameo. Here is the result:

I used the silver, yellow and blue vinyl. All cuts were patterns from the Silhouette store. I am so happy with the results and can see making more of these. Thanks for stopping by and now I send you off to . Until next time...

CCG Blogaversary Challenge - Day One

Good morning:

Here is another wonderful challenge from Crafty Card Gallery. We were given various cuts and colors of vinyl. The requirement was to make one card and one project. Well, I made my first project for a very special person to me; my sister in my heart, Julie. She bought these glass canisters at Target and asked if I could decorate them for her. She loves lighthouses so I went with a nautical theme. Out came the Cameo Silhouette and and some great files. Here is the results:

I learned the hard way that you need transfer tape for vinyl as these are not perfect. For my first attempt I am happy with them and Julie loved them. Please come back tomorrow to see my next project with the vinyl. Now I send you on to . Until next time.....

I'm So Excited and I Just Can't Hide It...

Holy mackeral! What a red letter day for me. As many of my followers may know, I have participated in many blog hops and sketch challenges with Jennifer of Craft Card Gallery. She had decided to have her very own design team and I applied with an article I had written and the cards made for it. Well I am happy to say that I have been chosen to be part of her Inaugural Design Team!!! I am honored to be a part of it as Jennifer has inspired and challenged me over the years. She also encouraged me to use the Cameo Silhouette. So in honor of this very talented woman, I made this card:

Sorry for the not so good picture but I was so happy I cut it out right on the first try that I had to take a pic right away! The cut file is from the Silhouette Online Store and I cannot wait to try some other cuts too. Look for more posts using this amazing little machine. Of course I still have my Cricut for some things too. Well, off to la la land. Until next time.....

Facebook Card Swap

Happy Sunday all!

After a good day with the hubs, I just had to share some cards I made for a card swap with my friend Jenn from Craft Card Gallery. I just love how she challenges us creatively and being a part of her monthly group. So when she suggested a card swap I was ALL IN! This month's theme was Halloween. So out came the Gypsy gal and I started creating. Since I have very few Halloween images I had to improvise. I had to make a total of 8 cards and made variations of these few. Here they are:

I just love double sided paper and I am sad I have no more Halloween cards to make . So I challenge you to go grab a piece of double sided paper and some embellishments and see what you come up with.

WOWSERS

WOWSERS~~~ I’m such a fortunate gal today as not only am I a Guest Designer for Jearise of Lorby’s World, BUT also a Guest Designer forSusan of Susan’s Corner, BUT IF IT COULDN’T GET ANY BETTER, I am the very first, yes my lovelies, the very FIRST to sample cut an original paper piecing file by our most beautiful and creative Jearise!!!! Now, how does that beat all??

Here is Jearise’s Little Miss Spider which I made into a card with a homemade wobble




Card was cut 4.25 x 5.5 inches and used a lime green
Background is DCWV Ghosts and Goblins
Spider was cut at 5-inches
Scraps were used for cutting her
Orange bow for her web she is dangling from
Lacy Labels for the sentiment “boo” to be placed
Inked, chalked which I do have the pretty fingers to prove that
Google eyes to google at you while she is a wobbling!!!!!

Isn't she adorable??? Now, I hope you enjoy her as much as I have. Please stop and give Jearise some bloggie love and tell her how talented she is when making paper piecing files!!!!

God Bless and thank you for stopping by
Much love, hugs, and creative pixie dust,
Lynne
