Using Negative Space

Good Morning! I hope you are all having a great day! I'm always in awe when I see people using their negative space in a creative and fun way. (Remember Samantha's card back here?) For some reason, I never think to explore that avenue of creativity. This card was CASE'd (and altered to suit my supplies) from Becky Roberts, and I absolutely adore it! My personal challenge over the next little while is to start seeing negative space as a positive, and see if I can add it into my work!

Happy New Years Everyone!

I hope you all had a great New Years Eve, and are headed into a fantastic 2012! This card was made for my Artful*Inkers Team Swap in November. The theme was "Kids Birthday Cards", I thought this made a very pretty "Baby's 1st Birthday" card. (but really, is appropriate for any age...) So for today, we'll send it off to Baby New Year! ;o) Come back Tuesday and Thursday to see the creations the rest of my team made.

Washer Necklaces

Super fun, super cute, and super easy! These washer necklaces are a breeze to make, and whenever I wear one, peeps are always asking me where I got them! We will be making these as one of the projects in the gifts class, being held here, Sept 17. (See Side Bar for more deets on classes, or click here for my class calendar)

Teensy Easter Prezzies!

Hey friends! I sort of forgot about Easter gifts this year! What's up with that?!? As I was walking through the grocery store today, they had a HUGE sale on Easter Creme eggs, and well, who doesn't love the GOO? So, a bunch came home with me, and an hour later, these simple, simple gifties were made! I've entered this into the Our Creative Corner challenge, which is to make a 3D Easter item.

Mmmmm....chocolate! (and yummy new stamps!)

Hey there! Ok, this is the treat my kiddos are getting in their lunch bags today. I know for some, it may not be a big deal, but my kids NEVER get treats like these in their lunch bags, and rarely get chocolate bars at all. I can't wait until they come home to tell me all about their surprise! (Don't get me wrong...my kids do eat junk food, it's just a really big treat to be allowed to buy a chocolate bar, so tomorrow will be super fun!) Anyway....I also got a treat in being able to make these little tags. My newest order arrived yesterday, and these 2 sets were in it. How YUMMY is that brand new Four Frames set stamped in Concord Crush? And the Tiny tags set I've been yearning for....mmmm! Love it! Hope you are all having a great day!
