Sometimes, the dryer is the only free place for photos!

I'm not a particularly confident person when it comes to my crafty skills. However, I saw a DT call and I'm thinking that I'm going to apply. So, if you could, comment lots on this card...give my crafty confidence a little boost. :) On to the card!
This card is for the Sketch N Stash Challenge, the SPCC Color Combo #35, Your Next Stamp Spring Color Combo, A Spoon Full of Sugar Challenge #91, and the Pollycraft double-up challenge. Ah, multiple challenges, how I love thee. Anyway, I'm really excited about this card because as part of the SNS Challenge, I needed to use some new/neglected/never used part of my stash. So, I used two new stamps, new ribbon, my neglected buttons (Ok, only one neglected button! Ha!), and my neglected glitter paper. I'd just like to say that I love this card. It's so summery and it makes me feel warm. Ah, summer, are you here yet? (Because let's be honest, "spring" is another term for "mild winter" in Montana!)

The card that HAD Glitter on it

Apparently, I have a thing for making the background hearts show. (See post below) That's, again, why I tweaked this card's sketch (thank you CPS). This card is a fail on manly love card it has ribbon, a HUGE pink heart, glitter, and the word love strewn across the front. It's still pretty simple though, and I know he'll love it! I kind of wish that Sami had a use Stampin' UP! stamps challenge because, through a random chain of events I actually used a SU stamp on this card (do you "love" it? ha ha ha)! I had a different heart over the ribbon that I glittered but I decided that I liked this one better, it seems to bring in the colors from the background paper well.

Hope you're having a happy Friday! I'm thinking I may work on a card for the Caardvarks wedding challenge Monday since there's NO SCHOOL! Yay! (But no school means I have to work, of course!)

Quick and dirty!

I got glitter EVERYWHERE while making this card. Yes, I'm aware, there's no glitter on the card. This afternoon I only had an hour and a half to make the cards I needed to have done for Valentine's Day. I used the Get Sketchy sketch for this week and (as usual) tweaked it just a bit. I used my new curvy cutter cutting system to cut out all of the pieces on this card. I like the system and it was definitely the way to go for me. I can now cut some basic shapes in very large sizes and small sizes. Both of which I need. Way cheaper than buying a bunch of nesties (which don't go as big as I need) but just as effective!

As usual, I tweaked the sketch just a little bit. I wanted more of the whole hearts to show on that background paper. Now that the hubby is away from his RSS feed for the weekend, I can post his new V-Day cards! :D (Yes, cards. I'm a technical writer, what did you expect?)

Please note that I have again made a "glitter/flower/massively-pink/ribbon"-free card for Mr. Man! Yay! By reducing bumpy embellies on the outside, I also maximized the amount of room I have to write in on the inside!

To my devoted husband...

I love you very much. However, I am aware that you read my blog. Also, I posted "your" V-Day card on my blog. This arrangement bothers me greatly, because that means that you've seen your card. On another note, that card is quite small. I need room to write. Long story short, you're not getting that card...for now anyway. Don't be surprised come Sunday.
Love you,

Your psychotic wife!

The Box

So, you get another short post today but since I work on Friday night (loads of fun!) I intend to finish a couple of these posts! This is another Tuesday Morning Sketch inspired creation. I learned something that they never taught me in school - Measure twice, cut once, try folding and fitting, CUT AGAIN, and glue once. Another thing that can't be taught in school is how to cope when your measurements weren't good enough the first time! (That glue was permanent...those were my only two sheets of paper. *sigh*) This box went from being a two piece get-up (a box with a lid) to a one piece contraption (a box with an attached tip-open lid). I used the exact same paper, ribbons, brads, and flowers as I did on the card set inside. There are even some envelopes in the box! Yay! I have just a smidge of ribbon and a couple of flowers left so I may have to decorate a pen to put in the box as well! Enjoy my slightly cock-eyed attempt at a card set!
