Happy Almost Spring

Hello crafty friends!  I know it's been a little while since I've posted.  Things have just been crazy around here and a lot of postive changes have been happening!  So I just wanted to stop by and say hi.

With Spring just around the corner, I have been in major stash busting mode!  I am a paper hoarder big time, and I've decided that I really need to start using up my stockpile of paper before I run out of crafting space!

I went back to my oldest stack of paper and have been crafting from there.  Here are a few cards I made:

OWH Midweek Throw Down - Fun Folds

This week's OWH Midweek Throw Down is all about Fun Folds.  I had never heard of a Joy Fold until  I read OWH's post, and I have to say it's pretty cool!  I found this awesome tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers.  Here's my card:

Addicted to CAS Challenge 6

Just wanted to share a card that I made for Addicted to CAS's Challenge 6.  The code word for this challenge is candy.  Here's my candy card:

I loved the colors in my sticky notepad, so I used them for this card.  I die cut each sticky note, colored them with my Versamark pen, and used some clear glitter embossing powder to add a glossy candy-like finish to my jars.  I used a stamp from Cosmo Cricket's S'More Love for my sentiment.

OWH Sketch Challenge 160

Another week, another awesome sketch from OWH.  Here is this week's sketch:

And here's my card:

OWH Virtual Card Making Party - Challenge 7

I'm back with my card for Challenge 7 of OWH's Virtual Card Making Party.  Challenge 7 is the caffeine challenge.  Here is my card:

OWH's Virtual Card Making Party - Challenge 5

I know I did this a little bit out of order but these are my cards for Challenge 5 of OWH's Virtual Card Making Party.  Challenge 5 is "Disappearing Act with Sketch 63."  The idea is to take one sheet of 12 x 12 paper and turn it into 6 cards using this sketch:

Here's my take on the sketch:

And I really did make all six cards!

OWH's Virtual Card Making Party - Challenge 6

I am having such a fun time with OWH's Virtual Card Making Party!  I am on a roll!  So it's fitting that Challenge 6 is "Things with Wheels!"

Here's my card:

I had some fun with this card.  I started with a white piece of card stock that I "water colored" with some distress ink.  Next I stamped my CTMH bicycle on the dried water colored background.  I added some color with my Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut only the bottom of the bicycle.

I'll be back soon with another card!
