Mommalicious Finds Review


hey all you crafty types!

i was reviewed on Mommalicious Finds! just wanted to share the link so you can check out this great site... not just for MY stuff but other great things as well! i'm off to Whitehorse for a family visit on saturday and i can't wait! i haven't been up there in almost 4 years, and not in the summertime in i don't even know how long. when i get back i plan to be more diligent with my blogging. i've just been so busy prepping for all the craft shows i'm going to do that i haven't spared myself time for much else!

i hope you have all been enjoying a great summer and nice weather. we've been bbq'ing a LOT! so yummy...

cheers!

A Summer Scene and more!

it's such a sunny summer day and all i want is to sit here crafting! there must be something wrong with me... i'm addicted to stamping, that's what it is!


first off we have a card for the new kwernerdesign colour challenge #56. 6 colours to use today! not so easy, but i searched thru some papers and found patterns that fit. flowers are on my mind because last night my husband & i took a walk thru our neighbourhood and looked at so many wonderful gardens! the colours are incredible everywhere! so here's my take on the challenge:


stuff used:
paper...
Basic Grey - Gypsy 6x6 paper pad
white & green cs

white embroidery thread
PaperTrey - yellow satin ribbon
Basic Grey - obscure button
Prima - Calypso Tin flowers

next up is today's 365 Cards challenge card. the theme ("i'm in a bind!") is to bind 2 pieces of something to make a card. i took 2 pieces of blue cardstock at attached them at the seam with patterned reinforcements. i got these ages ago and still hadn't found a use for them in my cardmaking. hip hip hooray, today's the day! (grin)



stuff used:
paper...
white & cyan cs
stamps...
Inkadinkadoo - Wellspring
