Birthday Card!

Today is Tamara's birthday! So I had to make a little card. I am actually really enjoying making smaller size cards! Anything from 3x3 to 5x5....just seems fun?

So I made this little card for her birthday.

again with the picture taking skills.....remember any picture advice is welcome!

OCC Sketch Challenge

Another week...another OCC sketch challenge! You know what I like most about sketches? That there is so many different takes on one sketch! It's amazing to see how people create so many different things from one base sketch! Fun!

You can check out the OCC sketch blog here

This is weeks sketch was this:

and here's my entry:

I am loving all this creating...but one thing I'm not loving is my picture taking skills! Any advice out there would be great! I can't seem to get a half decent picture of my cards....they are either blurry if I use no flash or they are washed out because of the flash! So frustrating! Eddy is going to see if he can give me some tips when he come for the weekend today....but any other advice would also be welcome!

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, Alice!

This challenge really had me stumped for a few days. I think it's the colors...not really my gig. But I did finally get inspired by the photo so this is what I came up with...I was inspired by the makeup itself!

If you wanna check out the Oh, Alice challenge you can do so HERE

Cuttlebug Challenge

Another first for me. Participation in the cuttlebug challenge...you can find it HERE.

The challenge is to use a cuttlebug folder and add some stitching to your card/project. I don't own a sewing maching and I lost my needle, so the fact that I was able to add some stitching to my card is in itself a challenge! lol I used my paper piercer to add the holes and then managed to poke the floss thru the holes I made. I had planned more stitching...but that is a whole different post! (frustration!) lol

So here's my card...with again another Bugaboo stamp (no I'm not being paid off in stamps! lol I just love them!) I think I'm living my hair dreams thru these girls! lol I'd love to have funky red, green or purple hair one day...but I somehow don't think that would go over to well with my kids, parents or Eddy! I embossed the heart with silver embossing powder! Like I said I wish there was more stitching....maybe I need to start wishing for a sewing machine :)
