crafty creations challenge #104

My love is like a red, red rose.....poem for inspiration.

For all those romantics out there I (Claire)

decided to go for some Scottish love poetry as the

inspiration this week for our

Crafty Creations Challenge.

A Red, Red Rose

Oh my luve is like a red, red rose,

That's newly sprung in June:

Oh my luve is like the melodie,

That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonie lass,

So deep in luve am I;

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,

And the rocks melt wi' the sun;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,

While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!

And fare thee weel a while!

And I will come again, my luve,

Tho' it were ten thousand mile!

Robert Burns

 

I still had this rose on my DS and decided to to make it in red for this challenge, I turned it so it looked like it was falling to the ground.not sure on the sentiment yet, so I am leaving it blank... I just love the rose from Indie Art.

crafty creations challenge #100

Hi all, I have a difficult time with color challenges and this one was definitely  tops the list, not only a color challenge there is a sketch challenge and use something recycled.
also with this challenge I wanted to make a light contrasting shadow instead of the normal dark,
I also was getting frustrated looking for 3 buttons to match, you would think with all the buttons I remove from old shirts I would be able to fine a set.....not to be found....then I saw these tiny specks mixed in with the buttons and I found an eye for the bird.
the yellow bead for the eye is recycled
plum, blue (berry), crumb beige, cherry red (optional)
you will find the sketch and color challenge here...

I used Home decor for the bird, wild card for the Hi  and George for the circle and a MS punch along with my design studio.

this weeks challenge is to use "wings" on your project!

I wanted to do something a bit different since when I think of wings, I think of butterflies, so I went to 50 states
and found this loon.....
 50 states   loon cut @ 1"
 cricut sampler trees @ 2 1/4"
 tore blue paper to make the water
 fiskers punch  sea pearls for the corners
Don Juan   DAD @ 3/4"
and DJ thinking of you @ 3/4" with the coffee cup cut off
brown inking also!

 

for those of you who are new to my blog,  this is how I do the inside of my cards for my family,

for years I have remodeled my sisters  stamped cards so that they can be reused instead of trashed.

(My parents are not keepers of anything) so I have decided to do this for every family member

they like getting a hand made card and also be able to send to a friend.

thanks for looking!

our new challenge isMetal/Metallic finnishes

ideal for all the Christmas card piles we are trying to create!

since all the kids loved this card at Diane's party I decided to make 6 more. This way when Britt comes
and says I need a card for this weekend and it already is this weekend (she does that to me) I'll be ready.
I did make an opps on these, the guitar is only 2 1/2" and in the original it was 3 1/2
since I made that mistake and was not going to toss them.
I made the flame looking things at 2"

I love the metallic shine to this paper from DCWV Rock Star stack

Challenge #7: Make a die cut card! Use a card shape from any Cricut cartridge of your choice. If you don't have a cartridge with a card shape on it, then just use at least one die cut on a card.

 

 

 first I had to figure out what a card shape was,  oh there one is! I sometime takes me a while to find cuts on these carts.  Now if I can only remember which one it was on, I'll have to come back to that. Okay, I'm back,  from A Child's Year, never would have guess this one, first time I used it!
under card,  airplane.

tree @ 4" and cat @ 1 1/2" from PDDU
pumpkin and fence from Pooh & friends sizes?
card shape was at 51/2"

crafty creations challenge #36, Lauras BD card This Card Won!

crafty creations challenge #36    use "all shades of pale"  this one was hard for me because I am gearing up for winter, dark colors,   then I saw the pig on one of my new carts From my  Kitchen,  pigs are a pale pink, so I started with that.  found this great paper for the background, I believe K & co.
