Corny

Today I just had to post this Corny card.  I got this new stamp set from Lawn Fawn and I just love it.  It makes me laugh and think about how goofy you can be living in Iowa. I'm putting a big old corn cob on your card and thinking it's cute, but I do. There are more images in the set that I am committed to using soon.  I also had to repost the second card.  It was so plain I just had to do something so I added some hand stitching and a little distress ink around the edges.  Now it's ready to send and made me happy. 

Fabric

I made this card for a fun Paper Trey Ink challenge to use fabric with die cuts.  This is a very simple plain card but it was fun to use my burlap and make a quick card for fall. I used heat and bond to attach the leaf to the card with my ribbon iron.  It's great to have another use for it!

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.
