Welcome to CR84FN47 Week 1 with this new color palette of pink, red, and light blue!
| We are so PLEASED to have Monika M. from Poland as our Guest Designer for the next month. You can view her AMAZING creations at Igla i Nitka which means needle and thread in Polish. She is a GENIUS with her craftiness and I have purchased bookmarks from her to give to some very dear friends. Please go to her site and give her some LOVE! Monika, along with our CR84FN Design Team (listed in my sidebar), have made some GORGEOUS things to inspire you with our new colors! I hope you come play along! I am also linking this to the JUGS #121 Challenge which asks you to make a 3-D project with a Valentine Theme! Go check out the FABULOUS 3-D projects the JUGS Girls have made over there. Thanks for the 3-D inspiration!  |
This is a gift bag for my Dear Sweet Mom. I have been promising her for a YEAR to make some cards for her to give to her friends in her "Old Broads Birthday Club". I figured it was about time I followed through! It's really easy to make so if you want the deets, email me!
Here is a close-up of my bow with buttons. Don't you just LOVE the hearts??! The turquoise button has an epoxy dome sticker in the center with a piece of the designer paper cut out and placed underneath it.
Here are some of the cards I made with Totally Stampalicious Stamps. The first two are in the colors from our CR84FN47 color challenge but the other cards are just a variety of colors. My Mom wanted funny cards with ladies and I think these will fit the bill!
(inside) I love to cook with wine...sometimes I even put it in the food!
(inside) that's gotta hurt!
(I paper pieced the grocery bag)
These are not my usual style (I don't like to color!) but these are exactly what my Mom wants to give to her friends! Totally Stampalicious has so many other stamps that are just hilarious!
I DID find out through coloring (and my friend Bev's advice) that Copic E00 is the PERFECT skin color! She is so RIGHT! Thanks Bev! (I also Googled Copic and found out it IS "COPE" ic! Long O!)
I had a lot of FUN creating this bag and cards for my Mom. I hope you find some time to make your own super fun creation and post it on our blog! I'll be looking forward to commenting!
