ICRCSPR01 - Anything Goes with Flowers + Twist

Hey Everyone!

We have a new challenge over at the INDIAN CRAFT ROOM!  This one is brought to you by our DT Bhavana!  

Spring is on it's way here in the US, so no better way to start it off with a fresh new FLORAL challenge :)  The twist being that it can be anything BUT a card.

Here is our challenge...

Cards and layouts are my thing, so this challenge was a bit different yet fun to come up with.  I kept it simple as I'd like to eventually place the tag on a card hehehehe...we'll see!

Here is my tag...

I used Tim Holts Distress inks for the background and stitched dies by Lawn Fawn.  I glued flowers onto mini clothes pins which are clipped onto the twine.   

Going to try to do something COMPLETELY different for the next round of DT inspiration.  I have a few "baby" related projects I've been wanting to do, but have been putting off, so this challenge may be a great way to complete it.

Also wanted to share that I was a challenge winner over at Crafting by Designs for their Tic Tac Toe Challenge...very exciting!   

Hope you'll join us for this current challenge over at the INDIAN CRAFT ROOM!

Thanks for stopping by!

Stinkin' Cute "I Love You" Card

Hi Everyone!
Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!  It's been a warmer than usual weekend, and I'm not complaining.  Hoping to head out in a few and enjoy the rest of the day.  

I went onto my blog this morning to find out that I was a "Top Pick" over at the their Sketch and Color Challenge #32.  How exciting!  I'm looking forward to joining more of their challenges! 

Here's another card I made using the "Woodland Cuties" Stamp Set (Your Next Stamp). 

I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink for the background, and a Molotow Marker to draw the hearts.

Here's a card I completed yesterday!

"Sweet Hello" Card

Hi Everyone,

Starting to clean up my mess of a craft area, as I want to start getting organized before Spring begins.....so much going on this year.  Trying to dedicate at least 15 minutes a day to organize supplies.  PINTEREST as always, has been helpful!  YouTube is a good friend too :)

I finally got around to using some of the supplies that I've been collecting over the last few weeks. I colored in all the adorable images from the "Woodland Cuties" stamp set (Your Next Stamp) using my ZIG brush pen markers and the Stella brush pen for some sparkle.  

I'm totally loving Your Next Stamp's stamp designs, and have already placed an order for my next set!  They also have a great bi-weekly challenge, so I'm entering into it!  

Here's a card I completed over the weekend, that I could use for a valentine, baby shower or a birthday boy!

Hi Everyone,

We're back with a round of DT inspiration over at the INDIAN CRAFT ROOM.

I am using the top horizontal line 

BLING + "LOVE" SENTIMENT/QUOTE + STITCHING

Here is my card...

ICRCWIN01: Tic Tac Toe Challenge with a “Mandala” Twist

Hey Everyone!

I'm so excited for this challenge!  I've been a part of ICR since 2012, so being able to host a challenge is always a BIG deal to me.   Ash and the DTs we have on board this year are beyond talented, as you'll see!!!

Here is our challenge...

I've been recently coloring away in my adult coloring books, and fell in love with one specific page full of mandalas.  That is what I used for my card.  Here is my card...

I am using the top horizontal line 

BLING + RIBBON + STENCIL

Here is my card...

I used a Heidi Swapp stencil and my Tim Holtz distress inks for the background.  I then colored  and cut out a few mandalas, layered them at the top left corner, and trimmed off the edges.  There are 3 layers to the mandala.  I topped it off with some gold rhinestones.  

Hope you'll join us for this current challenge over at the INDIAN CRAFT ROOM! 

I also received an awesome present for Christmas from my hubby, but never got a chance to share it earlier!  My present was a pre-order for the Workbox 2.0 from the Original Scrapbox!!!  My aunt has one of these, and absolutely loves it...she and I had a conversation about it last Spring, and I'm pretty sure the hubby was taking notes!  THANKS BABE! :)

I've been eyeing this thing for years!  A place where I can stash my craft stuff, as it's piled up in a corner right now.  I also want to get everything as organized as possible, before the baby starts getting into it!  It'll arive in late spring or early summer...can't wait!!!

Long post! 

Thanks for stopping by!
