Sketch #225 at Operation Write Home...

Today is my regular day off and I spent most of the day playing in my craft room.  (of course!)

Sunday, over at Operation Write Home, they posted sketch #225 and as usual, I love it!  The inspiration card is just gorgeous!  I am partial to the patriotic look and stars and stripes, so I stayed with that theme with my card.
So enough of all that chatty-ness....
Here is my take on the sketch for this week...

As always, if you have any questions or comments I would love to hear them.
I hope yall have a great evening!

Shake, shake, shake...

I had a little fun with a shaker card today.

This was my first ever shaker card.  I had so much fun!  Ya'll know I love me some washi tape and have plenty of it!  So I used three different ones that I had in my stash, on the background.  The sequins that are behind the acetate are red, white/iridescent and black.  Then I used a stamp from Stampin up's Flower shop and the matching punch to add a little accent to the bottom left of the card.

It did turn out a little busy, but I still like it. 

I will for sure be making some more shaker cards in the future. :)

A little drawing in Silhouette Studio...

I just uploaded another ''how to'' video to YouTube.

his time you can see how to draw your own card front design in Silhouette Studio like this card that I made today...

I found this card idea on pinterest and like all things pinterest, I loved it!  So I opened up my Silhouette Studio and went to work on trying to figure out how to make one myself.  Any time I do that , I love to share with anyone willing to watch my videos.

You can find the video here...

Fun with mini albums...

I've been bit by the mini album bug again!  This time it is a Halloween one.  I don't celebrate Halloween personally, but I am just adoring this paper line by Teresa Collins called Masquerade Party.  And of course I had to use my Silhouette Cameo to cut out some cute Halloween images.

I just finished it and uploaded a flip-thru video to YouTube HERE.  Stop by leave a comment letting me know you stopped in to watch my video.  Thanks!

 

Have a good night everyone!

Happy Mother's Day!

I just wanted to take a moment to stop in and tell all the Moms out there "Happy Mother's Day!"

I hope your day is blessed!

Been getting all crafty...

What have you all been doing this Saturday? 
I spent this morning at church, putting classroom titles on doors with vinyl and my silhouette cameo.  YAY!  I lerv my cameo. It's so much fun.

So this is my take on the card.

National Scrapbooking Day!

Yep, today is National Scrapbooking Day.  But guess what I'm doing?

Making cards for course!  HaHa!

I went to another Stampin'Up card making class and here is one of the cards we did.  I love the embossing along with the silver metallic paper.  And that Dahlia stamp...*drooling*.

Over at Operation Write Home they are doing a challenge with OurDailyBreadDesigns  So I am entering this card into that challenge HERE.
