As I was saying, it has been way too long. I forget sometimes how therapeutic creating can be. I needed this.
I meant to create for Get Sketchy the first week that they started. As you can see, I didn't get around to it... So here is both challenge #1 & #2. I had fun.
Challenge #1 - I wasn't sure if I would like the result - but I do! I do!! I don't make square cards very often - I think the look will grow on me. The large staple on the ribbon says 'Thank you.' It's the first time I've used the Fastenater - yep, I like that too.
Challenge #2: I've always wanted to do a 'patchwork' kind of card - but never had the guts. Do I use 2 patterns, 3? 4? I don't know... So, I bit the bullet and went for it. I like it too. I'm learning to make cards without stamping - often more of a challenge than I thought. I used rub-ons here ~ of which I am becoming a huge fan.
Anyways, I had fun - and I plan on making time to create more often.
This week, I am off to Mom & Dad's to can peaches. I can't believe that it is that time of year again already. I am looking forward to the quality time and memories that are always enjoyed there.
Blog to you later,
Me
Your cards are fabulous! I love the first one, nice work!
ReplyDeleteHave fun this week. I can smell the peaches right now...I'm thinking it's a good idea to make some for myself (but that probably won't happen this year!)
See you later!
