Weekly Challenge | Must Use Flowers!

Good Morning! What a wonderful spring day and for this week's Delightful Challenges, your creation must use flowers!!
For my 6×6" card I did a masking technique in the freeware program GIMP to place the bride and groom inside the oval frame. I accented the frame and the bride's veil with ultrafine glitters. The flowers are punched from Stampin' Up punches and burnished with a large ball embossing tool. They are adhered to the card with 3D Zots and blinged out with crystal bling and flower brads.
Thank you for looking! I hope you enjoy!

Invitations for the Crafty Birthday Girl | Sam's 5th Birthday

This weekend is my daughter's 5th birthday party and she decided she needed a Crafty Party. There will be lots of crafts for her friends to do. Her daddy is making her a special crafting table and some of her favorite crafts have been collected for her birthday celebration! She had creative control of how her birthday card came together and she was quite pleased with the final result. I will be adding a scribd document here next week with complete instructions on making the cuts and folds on this card and possibly a video that will show how it can be modified for other shapes.

Front of Birthday invite closed

The card features Bazzill Basics and DieCuts With a View Cardstock and Miss Elizabeth pattern Paper. The paper doll is a Sizzix die as are the accessories [clothes, shoes, hair] The heart punch is Stampin up and the Swiss Dots texture is from a Provocraft emboss folder. The font for the card is called US and is free on DaFont.com. At her request, I wrote in hand "i love crafts" all the way around the cover of the card. The face was hand-drawn using the same Micron Pen and accented with brown marker and pink ink on an eraser for cheeks!

Weekly Challenge #14 | Walk the Line

This week at the I am the Diva Zentangle Challenge, Laura challenges us to use ONLY STRAIGHT LINES in the Walk the Line Challenge--details here.

Walk the Line

The name immediately took me to the Man in Black's hit Walk the Line. This was an interesting challenge for me because as you all know I LOVE circles which are well curvy...not straight. I did my best not to deviate from the challenge requirement. I would say that dots...well they walk the line that fine line between circle and a stroke of a pen. In any case I really like the look of this tangle. I hope you do too! Enjoy Johnny Cash and his hit Walk the Line!

Thank you for looking!

Come2Chat Craft Challenge | Cardboard Classic

This weeks Come2Chat craft challenge is the Cardboard Classic. Amanda Marks of the Creative Edventures team chose this fun theme and challenges us to make something practical--that can be used! As soon as I saw that cardboard was involved, I knew I had to try Wenche's Book Tutorial! Wenche, a Norwegian blogger,  has many amazing projects on her blog Wenches Kort og Papir--take the time to translate her blog and experience the beauty of her work!

Above is my 1st attempt with Wenche's tutorial on her book/box. This one I've made to keep my son's merit badges in until I get them sewn on his sash. they will be in one spot and he can add to them as he earns more. The bookplates on the cover are only glued on the bottom so my son can add a title to his book and slip them in behind the bookplate frame.

I used chipboard as the skeleton of my book, cardstock to form the faux pages in the accordian method that Wenche describes in her blog. The cover of the book is more cardboard--this time corrugated cardboard with the outer cover pulled off to expose the corrugations. The easiest way to accomplish this is to dampen the layer to be pulled off--I wiped it with a VERY damp papertowl and let the cardboard sit for a minute. Once moistened, the top layer will pull off VERY easily and leaves behind the cool textured look! I added diecut embellishments for the cover.

I hope you enjoyed my project! Thank you for looking! Be sure to check Wenche's blog for amazing inspiration on what you can do to decorate these fun book/boxes.

Weekly Challenge #13 | Non-Dominatrix

This week's challenge at Laura Harms' I Am the Diva Blog is is to complete a tile or Zentangle inspired piece using ONLY your NON-DOMINANT hand. Complete details can be found here. While it was feared that this challenge might strike fear and horror in us regulars, I embraced the challenge slowly and happily.

My family carries the gene that makes the use of both hands equally, easier.

ambidextrous [ˌæmbɪˈdɛkstrəs] adj 1. equally expert with each hand 2. Informal highly skilled or adept.

My grandfather on my mother's side was the first one to show this skill in his welding. He could weld equally  well with both hands. My abilities to play the piano and the violin and my ability to do lots of things around the house with both hands I attribute to my grandfather passing the gene down to me. My son has these abilities strongly--he can bat on both sides in baseball, he was able to [and probably still is, I just haven't quizzed him lately] write equally with both hands.

So, fear of doing the challenge was not an issue...failing to show my ability to do the above described feats of genetic skill became my fear. You see, I always have found this fascinating, but have not maintained my genetic skills, which like anything is only good if you practice! So off I went, left-handed, drawing doodles on my little designated square. I like what I ended up with...not too wonky for the left-hand. I hope you agree!

Weekly Challenge # 12 | Something Blue!

In honor of her Mother's Birthday, Laura Harms choose this challenge to incorporate some of the beautiful blue--seen in a picture of her mother by the ocean in Jamaica--to help chase away the winter blues and welcome in Spring!! You can view the details of the challenge at Laura's website.
This is the first time I've ventured past the normal color of Black. When I finished it was just my normal zentangel but BLUE. I then reached for another blue pen and proceded to put highlights on the circles and alsong the bold lines of the tangle. It took on a whole new look. I think I like it! I hope you like it too! Thank you for looking!

Operation Write Home's Bunny Hop Blog Hop

Welcome to the Operation Write Home's Bunny Hop Blog Hop! I am so honored to be part of this organization's wonderful hop! There are 135 stops in hop--if you came here from Kelly's You and your Big Dreams, you are in the right place. If you would like to start from the beginning, go here.

Operation Write Home is an amazing organization and helps connect soldiers with home in many ways. One of my favorite ways to connect is by using the printables for young people to color and to write letters and notes to the soldiers abroad. Here you can download and print off writing color pages that children [or adults] can write letters of appreciation to their soldier heroes. I use these mainly with the cubscouts in our Pack. The boys love coloring the images and writing letters to their heroes.

Weekly Challenges #10 & #11| The Space Between & Monotangle

Wow! Where did last week go!?!? It was a GREAT week, just full of activities! I remember looking at Monday and thinking, what a great tangle challenge! And then it was Monday again! So after a great weekend of enjoying the outdoors with the family--we've had BEAUTIFUL weather here--my tangle feels earthy to me for Challenge #10| The Space Between.



Challenge #10| The Space Between

  This weeks tangle for Challenge #11|Monotangle brought me back to one of my favorite tangles Ixorus! Every time I look at this one it makes me smile. :) The challenge was to use ONLY ONE tangle for the whole tangle...so inside my base ixorus, i did ixorus again--kind of an ixorus squared if you will! It feels like a spider web to me--which always brings me great pleasure! I hope you enjoy it too!


Challenge #11 | MonoTangle [Ixorus]

Among the fun I was having last week, I had the extreme honor of joining Roberta Birnbaum on Robi @ Night through Creative EdVentures. She was doing a demonstration on Zentangling and asked me to demo some tangles. I showed several tangles and how they could be used to fill in line drawings and stamps. In this video playback from the show, you can see me using a Digi Stamp to fill in with tangle patterns. Lots of fun! I hope you enjoy my video tutorial!
