Ahhhh nuts!

I had some time to create some cards today for OWH and I had a blast using up some of my hoarded supplies and some colors I don't typically go towards.

For this challenge we were to use blue and gray!  A challenge for me for sure!

This challenge asked us to use items we've been "hoarding"... I am in love with brads but never wanna use them!  Off to OWH these brads will go--hope I can find more time to use some more of them :)

OWH Virutal Card Making Party!

I'm being a rebel and joining the other over at OWH for their virtual card making party this weekend. They are being rebels by creating cards for National Scrapbook Weekend-- heck that works for me...I am NOT a scrapper at all!  There are 4 challenges up right now and I think you should dig out your supplies and make some cards for OWH!

The first challenge is to do some paper piecing-- love doing that!  I might have to go back and do a little repair work on my airplane as it popped up the plane and thinking it over I should glue it down so it survives its travels!

For the the third challenge we are using food as our main image.  I was dying to use my new Joy's Life Stamp and cricut!  It turned out pretty okay...almost looks good enough to eat.  For each of my cards I also used a different OWH sketch challenge!  I was trying to avoid using the same ole sketch!

My Mind's Eye

Did you know that you can purchase all sorts of great My Minds Eye products at Ginger Snap Scraps Store?  Well if you didn't...now you know!! I am sure you would be pleased with the fabulous customer service that Cori will provide to you.

If you are a fan of My Minds Eye products you will definitely want to stop over and see what the Design Team has created for you over at Ginger Snap Scraps Blog.  I am in love with Lawn Fawn stamps and I think the My Minds Eye Happier paper pad works great with this cute little gnome!  I hope you stop over and check out the other design team members projects!

Wrap It Up!

I hope you are all having a great day.  I am posting this little box as my first post as an official design team member for Ginger Snap Scraps!  I am sooooo excited to be creating with these awesome designers.  Today the theme for our projects is  to "Wrap It Up" and to use twine... well of course I had to take it a bit further and make an actual box.  I used the Sweet Tooth Boxes Cricut cartridge and Crate Paper for the lid.  Of course the treat box is wrapped up with Twinery twine.

I am so glad I had some extra time today to do a few cards.  I have been missing out on joining the awesome talent over at Chick Challenges and they have a great sketch this week so I decided to join in!  I am in love with this paper stack and how well it works with all of my great Unity Stamps!  Hope you like my card!  Sorry for the crappy picture!

It's Wednesday...oh how the middle of the week is here and I am not at all ready!  Work is crazy busy right now but I had to use my lunch hour to create a couple of flower cards for my OWH stash!  I like this flower so much I will be making some of these for my personal stash as well. Stop over and join us for the midweek throw down at  OWH where today's focus is on flowers!  Lots of great cards have already been posted!  Join in the fun!

OWH Sketch Challenge!

I love a good challenge... I just hate when I don't have time to play!  I created this card for OWH Sketch #19  I am in love with Lawn Fawn stamps as of late-- they are super cute!  I hope that all of you are doing well.  I lost some crafting time as I was in the basement during the tornado warning but no damage appears to be around here but the sirens are always a bit unsettling!
