For My One Word project I decide to do something I don't normally share on my blog....this is my own version of Project life LOL and I don't normally share it online, I do this just for my own pleasure ...most of my entries are very personal...I kind of use it as a diary/visual journal/scrapbook all in one ....anyway the word I use was travel and my focus was on the trips we took this fall....

 I just love using my silhouette portrait to make embellishments and journaling cards...I made the car to hide my journaling from view (as you can see I didn't writ anything on there yet LOL)

 I used MME hello world collection for embellishments and some of the journal cards,lots of washi tape for borders....

 so there you have it my secret pleasure :D

PopUp Challenge

Kathy over at the Daily Marker has a Pop Up Challenge going on and I decided to play along.....
this has to do with lines...she has some really nice videos on her blog explaining everything...here is what I made...
it reminds me of patchwork or stain glass... I used a fat sharpie to make my lines and distress makers to color them in.....when I was finished I added some of those eyelashes Kathy was talking about....after that I took a very wet paint brush and splattered water on top and laid a paper towel to soak up the drops after a few seconds...I love the effect it gives!

REMINDER … it’s all about lines. Any line of any kind. Just don’t stress and have some fun. Don’t forget if you post your photo with some popcorn  you have a chance at winning a goodie bag in addition to the daily prizes but, the popcorn is just for fun NO requirement

thanks for coming to take a peek!

CAS(E) This Sketch No135

Evening my crafty friends... I just wanted to share a quick card I made using the new sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch #135....I belong to a couple card swapping groups and each month they have what they call an envelope challenge,there's a different host each month.....what it is is each host puts together an envelope with all the makings of a card ...the challenge is for us to make a card with whatever they send...the only rules are you have to use at least a piece of each thing the send and your allowed to add 1 stamped image or sentiment and three additional embellishments.....

I decided to use the contents of my envelope to make a card using this weeks sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch...so anyway here is my card LOL

Muse Challenge #125

I am playing along this week with Muse Card club... I loved Anita's card, the flower stamp is just so darn cute....its pretty obvious I took inspiration from her whole card....I truly didn't realize how close they were until I was making this post :( I'm suppose to take inspiration from the card not copy it!
But I really liked it...I just added more color and different flowers!
