Card Challenge June

A friend and I make card challenges every so often and this was the first one this year.

I created these cards for our challenge. They are easel cards.

From the scrap of the original cards I made these cute shaker cards. What a blast!

Baby Bean 2015

The belly is growing.

The Bean at 15 weeks.

During this summer I decided that I wanted to challenge myself to build up my card collection. Mainly because I was too tired to make some birthday card this year and bought some instead. It really killed me, so I decided that I need to work on cards during my spare time.

These cards were made from scraps that I had in a drawer.

I just reached in the drawer and pulled out 4 small scraps and then began to place them and this is what it became. I use my We R Memory Keepers Ticket Stub Punch.

Both cards were given as Wedding cards this year. So much for building up my stash. Lol!

Memorial Day Selfies!

We had a Memorial Day picnic at my grandma's house this year. While there we decided that it was selfie time. We are obsessed with selfies, I have no clue why. These turned out pretty cute!

Me, Dad, and my sister Tarah.

Love this one! We are a lot of fun!

The hubby and grandma wanted in on the fun!

Vetrans Volunteer Dinner

My dad was invited to attend a dinner to thank those who volunteered at the Vetran's Hospital. My dad donated 100 hours of service this year. He received a certificate and pin for his service. I was grateful that he invited me to attend the dinner with him.

Attended the Temple with Melanie

I was so ecstatic to be invited to attend the temple with a good friend Melanie. I loved sharing this special day with her as she made special covenants with her Father in Heaven. This day was even more special as I had received confirmation that I was in fact pregnant!

No trip is complete with out a selfie!

Friends for life! More like sisters!

"Graphic 45 Design Team Audition 2015"

As part of the Audition process for team Graphic 45, I have been asked to create a blog post that features 4 projects that I have created that show my strengths.

Initially, this made me nervous! I have so many projects so, I began to think about what my favorite projects have been over the last few years.

The first project that really shows my strengths was my Steampunk Spells Waterfall Mini Album.

This was the beginning phase of the album. I collected several embellishments and in this photo I was debating about which to use. I fussy cut out the image and originally had planned to have it on on the Steampunk Spells paper, but noticed that the image blended with the background and therefor added the black paper to make the image pop!

Here is the final result of the cover, I added
Glossy Accents for stability on the feathers of her
hat. I also wanted the watch necklace to pop so I added
a dab of glossy accents there too.

I loved this antique domino and I added a little bling to it.

Here is the waterfall portion of the mini album. I did not have a corner rounder so, I used my Cricut to create the edges on the waterfall album portion.

The second project that I have completed that shows my strengths is a film tin mini album that I created for to commemorate my sister's induction into the French National Honor Society.

I found the film tin at a thrift store and altered it inside and out. I then created the round album that was included on the inside of the tin. I use the Graphic 45 Curtain Call Collection.

Here you see the cover of the tin. Completely altered using the Curtain Call paper and Prima bling. I created the small cream flower inside the larger grey flower.

The Third Project that shows my strength is this neat shaker card. On this card I did not use Graphic 45. This was using BOBunny Paper. It shows my stength in cardmaking. The entire card was made from scratch, shaker and all.

This is the beginning phase of the card. I had just created the shaker and added it to the front of the card.

Hand created envelope to match the shaker card.

The fourth project I wanted to submit is still in the works. I think that every crafter has something that they are currently working on. I personally have usually 2 going at the same time. It makes life more interesting.

From watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UnzCpbKRBk , I fell in love with her album and started making one of my own. She used Graphic 45 paper in her album. I used several different paper stacks from Tim Holtz that were already in my paper stash.

Again the entire album has been created by hand.
