Your Love

Hello, Crafty Peeples!
This card is really late, it should have posted Monday.  But Life Issues reared their "non creative heads" and demanded my full attention.  Anymahoo, this week over at The Outlawz, The Greetings Challenge is  KRAFT, BURLAP AND BEADS.  My original plan was to create something using one of the stick pins my friend Teresa sent me almost two years ago.  Her pins are so pretty; I can't  use them (crazy, right?)

September 27, 2013

 I think I have found the style of card that will become my "go to" card base.  I don't know why it appeals to me so much, but it does.  I am also happy, again, to be able to create without using an image.

I struggled with the center of my flower.  I needed to pick up the brunt orange from my CS and my Leaves.  I tried pearls, brads and button, none of which gave me the effect I was seeking.  Just as I was about to swap out my flower, for one made from crinoline, I decided to try a big glob of copper glitter glaze.  It was a round ball until my hubby stuck his finger into it!  Men, really?

Isn't this wonderful printed burlap just fabulous!  I only have a yard, so I use it sparingly!

I love it when a project come together on my drafting table just as I put it together in my head.

JDE Challenge #12 - A Day For Daises

IMAGE BY A DAY FOR DAISIES
Hi, Cardies!  This very CAS design is my DT Inspiration for this week's "Anything Goes " Challenge at Jackson's Digital Expressions.  We are still having a party at JDE and there are chances to win free images from some of the best digi stores.  Make a note to drop by.  Our challenge runs until August 6th and you can enter as often as you wish.

In addition to our July Release, we are introducing our new sponsors AND our new DT members.  We have some super talented ladies who have joined our team and we are taking this time to introduce them and JUST SHOW OFF!  If you want to join us, you can also try your hand at our optional Color Challenge using the colors from this inspiration photo.

I chose "Ballet Slippers" because I think it is more challenging to create interest on a project using a small single image.  I wasn't so sure about my little art piece until I distressed the edges and inked it with Ranger's Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  I tied using the optional challenge colors, but the just didn't work for this image!

You guys know that I rarely like my own projects, but this one I liked.  Stop by Jackson's Digital Expressions and see the great creations from my Teammates!

Big Hugz,
Chana

Country Girl

IMAGE BY LYNNE CROSSKILL
Hello Cardies!  Just a quick post to invite you to join us over at Stamp-N-Doodle for our weekly challenge. This week our challenge was to use Swirls in our design!  I have wanted to use "Country Girl" in a design for a while, but wasn't quite sure how I could incorporate Swirls.  I hope you like my solution.  Hope to see an entry from you at Stamp-N-Doodle!  Hugz, Chana!
