On Your Wedding Day

I saw a card online awhile back -- had a ribbon with two rings. Loved the idea from the start -- just something to give a wedding card a little something else. :)

So when the card sketch for our card lifters group turned out to be a basic rectangle with a window and a ribbon, I decided to go for it. The background is dry embossed (wedding bells) -- and I lifted the tag in the middle just a little to give the card a little more dimension. TFL :)

It's a start

So yeah -- I've been having a blast playing with my grad pictures -- from way back when! :p LOL -- but at least they're finally going into a scrapbook already -- later is better than never.

Here's a look at my first page. I still have to buy embellishments and rub-ons for most of the pages, so you're gonna have to wait until I complete them 100%. This page is finished though. I used a sketch I found online over a year ago, so I have no idea where I got it from!!! If you recognize the sketch, let me know -- and I'll give you the credit! :) TFL

--> I have jewels on the butterflies

I'm working on a new project -- scrapping my graduation pictures from way back when!!! :p LOL It's been on my to-do list forever, but I just never took the time. Started this weekend....and I'm having fun! Getting somewhere too -- love working when my mojo is around!!! Makes is so much easier. :)

So yeah -- I'll post some pictures when I've got it all done. Until then....I'm off to create some more pages. :)

Crocheting...BIG

Going a little different today -- away from paper crafting. This is a rug I've been working on for a few weeks now. I tried a few new techniques -- love how it turned out! :)

Card for a Loss

Yay!!!!! I do believe blogger is back!!! :) After a few weeks of issues -- seems to be working just fine again!!! :) So I'm back to posting....

We had a card making crop with some kids a few weeks ago. Everyone brought some of their stamps and stuff -- it was a total blast, despite the fact that I actually didn't even create one single card! I just helped the little kiddies with some of the techniques like stamping and embossing. And idea here, a fold there. Honestly I'm always amazed at what those kiddies come up with -- they inspire me!!!!

And of course, I couldn't resist taking the opportunity to stamp some images onto some blank paper. I figured I would use them later on -- one way of the other. But they've been lying in a box for the past few weeks -- I've taken them out from time to time -- totally loved them again, but no mojo or inspiration as how to use them in a card!!!

I needed a Thinking of You card for a cousin of mine who recently lost their baby girl. Honestly I was stumped...until I saw my stamped images. This card was soeasy to make -- it probably had a lot to do with the colours as well. It seemed like whatever I needed was right there -- no digging around in my stash for hours until I found something I could use... I hope this is a sign that my mojo is back! :) TFL

What is going on?!!!

Hi there bloggers! Is anyone else having issues with uploading photos to their blog??? I've tried uploading my card images (they are all in jpeg format) the past two or three days, and I just get a blank image!! What is going on!!! Is it just me???
