Fair Chicken

I thought this card was perfect to send this week as the Iowa State Fair is going on.  I saw an idea for a chicken card and they had an embossed folder in the background which made me think of my hexagon die from PaperTrey.  I think it turned out pretty cute. 

Chemo Hair

 

Hello bloggers.  It's been a long time and I have an update on myself.  I was diagnosed with breast cancer in January of this year.  I had a mastectomy in March and then started chemo.  I have two more chemo treatments and then I start radiation.  I am doing really well but haven't been scrapping much.  I decided I needed some motivation so I'm taking a class at Big Picture Classes called Stash*busters Anonymous.  The idea is to not buy any new supplies until the class is over. Use what you have and I have lots.  So here is my first page and hopefully I will get back into the swing of things. I only thought it fitting that I start with a picture of me and my hair.  I'm off work now but hope to return when chemo is done and I get my radiation appointments set up. 

Silhouette Card

Have I said that I love my Silhouette machine that I got for Christmas?  I do love it.  I made this very simple card with the snowman.  It is snowing here today so it's totally fun!  I have also decorated some shirts with rhinestones but haven't figured out how to take good pictures of them yet.  When I do you will see them there because I love the bling. 

Valentines

Another LO today.  This weeks challenge from May Flaum was to use paper and pen.  So I did a little doodling (not very much) and traced my chipboard letters.  I think I just need to keep my pen out and think about what it can add to a page.  I'm also very excited to be scrapping a current picture!

Paint

Week 3 in my online class that I love was about using paint and a little glitter.  Not sure that I like this layout but it was fun stamping with paint and using stickles around my photo.  trying to get a feel for being a little messy.  This week is about using your pens so I'm going to try a little doodling. 

Pin Wheels!

This weeks Make it Monday challenge over at PapertreyInk was to use pinwheels!  I hadn't made anything with this current trend so I thought I would give it a try.  I used my Silhouette to cut them out.  It took me a couple of tries to get them the right size.  I wanted three on my card and they turned out big.  I can't wait to make one using a 12 x 12 piece of paper.  So this is a pretty simple card.  I am totally into using mist right now.  I just spray everything when I'm done.  Can't see the shimmer but you can see the splotches.  I love it.   

Okay after I posted the first card I put it on Papertreys blog and there was a card by Kathy Mc that inspired me to get out my fence die and make two more cards, since I already had extra pin wheels!  I think they are cuter than my first attempt.  Thanks for the inspiration Kathy.

This week my May Fluam class challenge was to stamp.  I love stamping on my scrap book pages so I'm sure I will have another post but I needed to make a birthday tag so here it is.  I used ink and paint to stamp as well as four different stamp sets.  I also sprayed some glimmer mist and used washi tape for my tag string (lifting that idea from Tim Holzt).
