Lawn Fawn card

I've been loving Lawn Fawn images. If you can't tell the last four cards have featured their stamps. Here is another attempt at making simple card.  I almost made it then I decided it needed some bling. I found those tiny tiny pearls at Michaels. They're by Recollections and they fit perfectly inside of the keys.  It was like it was meant to be.  How can I pass that up.

Supplies:
Recollections: Kraft cardstock & Pearls
Lawn Fawn: Just my Type
Tsukineko: Memento Dew Drop Tuxedo Black
Prismacolor: Aquamarine PC905
Loew-Cornell: Better Way Brush Cleaning Fluid

Missing in action plus card share

Yeah so I've been absent from the blog for a month. To start things off my niece and nephew are here to visit for the whole summer, so it's been me and 4 kids all 6 yrs. old and under by myself since hubby was at school for the first three weeks.  Man you really learn how to manage your time better.  Also, I'm trying out for a few design teams. First time ever trying out so I'm not holding my breath. But I really wanted to challenge myself and do something that scares me. I'm a pretty shy, non confrontational person so this is really out of my element. I've been creating, just not things that I can put up on the blog yet.  I have made a heck of a lot of cards these last few days, though.  I've been all about challenging myself lately and I really wanted to try and make simpler cards that will mail easily.  I find myself paying a lot of money is postage when I have to mail out a card to a friend or family member. That really does not bother me but when I gift cards in packages I want to make sure that the recipient does not have to pay a lot in postage.  The first card did not meet my challenge requirements but I think by the time I got to the last card I succeeded. Here are just a few of the cards I've worked on as of late.


This is the first card. It started out good and then I gave in.  It just felt too plain and I though a felt flower would do the trick.

Supplies:
Lawn Fawn: Fanciful Frames & Just my Type, too
MFT die namics: Rolled Flower
Prima: White Mulberry leaves
Tsuikineko: VersaMark
American Crafts: Zing embossing powder Chestnut
Core'dinations: Cardmaker Series Pearls Baby pink pearl
Martha Stewart: Score Board
Papertrey ink: Dark Chocolate Felt
Copic: YG63
Misc. Pearl and wood paper


Then I figured, well the first one has dimension, Why not?

Supplies:

Lawn Fawn: Fanciful Frames & Just my type, too

American Crafts: Zing Embossing powder Lavender

MFT Stamsp: Die namics mini rolled roses

Stampendous: Stamp n Stuff detail black embossing powder

Hampton Art: a la mode White embossing powder

Tsukineko: VersaMark

Gina K: Pure Luxury white cardstock

Darice: Self-Stick Chalkboard Sheets

Misc: Pearls 

Than I decided to cut it out and really try. Not as happy with this one. It just looks so unfinished. Maybe if I added a little bit of pattern paper it wouldn't look so bad.

Supplies:

Lawn Fawn: Schoolhouse backdrops & Just my Type

Tsukineko: Memento dew drop tuxedo black ink

Clearsnap: Colobox Cranberry pigment ink

Recollections: Kraft cardstock

We r Memory Keepers: Corner Chomper round 1/2 inch

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope that within a few weeks I can start keeping on with my blog on a more daily version.

Maya Road Supper Bottle Cap Pin Cushion

Hello,
Once I saw these HUGE Bottle caps I just knew that I had to attempt to make a pin cushion out of them. I think they were a success. I just love the way they turned out. They're super quick to make and it's a great way to use any fabric and trim scraps you have laying around too.

Last day of Kindergarten gifts

I wanted to give the kids a little for something for their last day and I came up with these.  I had gone to Target after Valentines to see what they had on clearance and I saw these tiny Playdoh jars.  After looking at them the only Valentines on it was a sticker you add. The actual container were just regular containers so I got them. And at 50% off they were pretty cheap.  Went to Hobby Lobby and found the boxes on clearance for .71 cents for a pack of 24. Such a good deal.  Going though my stash to figure out what to give the kids I realized that they playdoh jars fit inside of the boxes perfectly.  Lucky since I didn't plan it out but I'm glad it worked out cause that made it super easy to make.  The die cut that goes on the jars read: "Thank you for being my classmate" plus my daughters name.
