I Got My MOJO Back!!!

Howdy all. :o)

After months and months of non scrappyness, I have FINALLY got my mojo back.
For the first time in about 3 months i sat down to create, in the scrap sense. My little sister turned 18 yesterday, and instead of reaching into my stash, I MADE a new card for her. It was the first card I'd made in months. I still havent done a scrap layout but I feel one on the horizon lol. I also made a few ATCs over the week too. My mojo is well and truely back in full swing :-)

My sisters card.... Simple, but i like it.

365 cards- Outer Space

When I think of outer space I think of the images of the universe. So when i was comming up with my card that is where i drew my inspiration from. To begin with i sprayed glimmer mist on my backround paper, and then i threw white paint at it. Creating my 'outer space' scene.

365 Cards- Signiture style

This week at 365 cards was a  'style and scraplift challenge all rolled into one.' Each design team member made a card based on there signiture style. We were then to make a card in that style as well as scraplift an element of that card.

My first card is number 353 Sophies style. Sophies style is 'Clean and Simple'. The element i scraplifted was the embossed backround. I used a CS with a different coloured core so when i sanded the top of the embossing it brough through the pink underneath.

My second card is number 362- Amys Style. Amys style is fun, bright, and whimsical, and the element i lifted was the handmade embellishment/'flower'.

Super sketchy week @ 365 Cards

I spent last night and this morning finishing my cards for the 365 cards sketch week. Im really happy with the cards that i made. The first one is for card number 353- Audreys Sketch.  

My second card is for card sketch number 355- Amys skeych. I made this into a 13x8 cm mini card, and sent it to a friend as an acceptance card.

My third card was for card number 356- Sophies sketch. Butterflys are my big fave at the moment. I dont really make a lot of girlie scrapbook pages, so i like to make girlie cards when i get the chance. Alot happen to feature butterflys.

My last card is vickis sketch- card number 367. This was another rsvp im sending to my Gram for an upcomming faimly reunion in May.

I loved doing all this weeks challenges. A whole week of skethces. I love working from sketches, alot of fun.

365 cards- day 352 Glorias sketch

This week is sketch week  on the 365 cards blog. Every days card will be a new sketch. For Glorias sketch-  number 352, I decided to make a clear card. Clear cards being my new 'thing' at the moment. But i just cant seem to ge the wow factor that i see in other clear cards. O well, gotta keep trying i guess.
This card also fits the stamp n scrap blog challenge- red , black and white.

365 Cards- 346 Tuesday Trio

I finally found some time to update my blog and challenge entries. I had infact made another 3 cards for other  challenges besides this one, but i really dont like them. So i think im going to give them all another shot, and make some cards i AM happy with.

This card was for card 346 Tuesday Trio. Use Scollops, Ink distressing and Ribbon. And the best part was, i made this card using all scrap paper.
I was FINALLY sorting out my scrap paper collection yesterday- by sorting i mean attempting to make it look a little neater. I put my coloured CS in  snap lock bags by colour to save me searching through all my paper to find the colout i want. Its working really well for me so far.

365 Cards Blog- Challenge 343

After i made this card, i realised it suited the 365 card blog #343 challenge.

The challenge was to use 2 different stamp sets together. This card uses my flourish and butterfly stamps.

This card started out as an experiment, but by the time i was finished i was really happy with the way it turned out.

To begin with i sprayed plain white CS with glimmermist, mounted that on whit CS again, then attached to my blue card. The i stamped my images on the glimmermist CS. Instead of using ink, i tryed something different and used white ink. I really like how this effect turned out. Then for a little bling i Kindyglitzed areas of my stamps, and added rhinestones to the end of my flourish.

365 Shape Up Challenge

I made this card for the 365 Card blog Shape up challenge. The challenge was to make the chosen shape ( in this case a heart) STAND OUT on your card.

I had a few different kinds of heart PP. I placed my first pp over a maroon square card id scored. Then i cut out a heart from my 2nd pp, matted it on light purple  CS  and then used foam tape to attach it to the card to give it dimension.

A really simple, but- i think, effective card.

Card sketch.
