how did i forget this?!

mom and i were going through some beads the other week, and we came across this pendant... that boat at the top of the skinny. well, she had never had any idea what to do with it (she beads). i saw it, and immediately knew it was going to go on a skinny with that boy!!!!! so, i got out all my stuff, and got to work. here's the result.

i used: SU cardstock and stamps, BG patterned paper (ambrosia, i do believe), some brads, some fibres, and a vintage boy. so simple. and i dig it.

btw, it was for a challenge. the theme was "red." but i don't remember what challenge blog it was for. once i remember, i'll update.

i give you... Blue!

the challenge this week on... um... something... My Time to Craft is blue. you're allowed white as well, but the main colour must be blue. so, here's my skinny. mostly blue. but i won't be posting this to the challenge blog, since i also used black and therefore broke the rules, but i still like the way this little creation turned out. well, enjoy! :)

ah, sweet Euphoria...

i was feeling euphoric tonight... as in, i couldn't leave my BG Euphoria paper alone! this lovely little skinny is (loosely) based on the Treat of the Week sketch challenge from Cut N Paste. i finished just in time to qualify. here's the challenge:

i went out to play this evening with some friends for a modified midnight crop (we were done at 10pm). i'm also working on some note cards to sell, but they need a bit more work before i unveil them. but when they're ready, i'll post them. anyway, there you have it. this and the previous post (theme thursday's challenge) were both done tonight at the crop. thanks for all the inspiration, ladies! it was fun - can't wait till next time! :)

Theme Thursday challenge

the theme this week on Theme Thursday (link is on the sidebar) was "people with wings." here's my little love fairy. cardstock is stampin up and something else (don't remember what), and the paper is BG Euphoria. and some acrylic stamps, but i don't know who makes them.

online croppin' last night

... and i made a skinny. i probably could have gotten more done... in theory, anyway. it's just that it takes me so long to do a project, and challenges are posted every hour... how am i supposed to get anything done that fast?! are you kidding me? lol

anyway, here's my little fairy. if you'll notice, i used glitter. pink glitter! sooo not my usual thing, but i did it, and i like it. i also used basic grey Euphoria paper, and MM doodle rub-ons (just the swirly-curly stuff on the left - the rest i did myself).

We Dare You! - challenge 7 - gifts

these are 3 skinnies that i made for the paediatric cardiology team in london. liz is awesome, so i made her the rusty girly card. the other ones are for the cardiologists, who are leaving at the end of the month. those two men have saved asher's life countless times in the last year and a half, and we will miss them terribly. they have been more than doctors: they have been friends, comforters, teachers, providers of coffee (thanks, dr B), and so much more. they have cared not only for asher, but for me, as well. i love these men, truly, and they will be missed. :( farewell, old friends.
