Fussy and Fancy Challenge 55

Hi everyone, today there is a new challenge over at Fussy and Fancy. Challenge 55 is Polka Dots. As soon as I saw this image posted on 2 Cute Inks Facebook Page, I knew I was going to use it for this challenge. Not sure why but for some reason Patches screamed polka dots to me. 

I made this card for my daughter to give to her teacher for Valentine's Day. Not sure yet what else I am going to make but probably something with the same image and papers.

Fussy and Fancy Challenge 51

Wow, it's been a while since I have posted anything to my blog. My crafty mojo has been missing for quite some time now. I decide to buy this sweet image from The Paper Shelter to make for Fussy and Fancy's Photo Inspiration Challenge. I enjoyed coloring this sweet image called Cookies for Santa. 

Here's the Photo we would like you to use as inspiration. I  used the tree and pulled out some of the colors for my card. 

Try a New Technique

Good morning, today I am sharing my card for Fussy and Fancy's Try a New Technique Challenge. I have to say that new techniques alway scare me. I always feel like I am going to mess things up and I hate waisting my supplies. I decided to use my Score Pal to emboss the background paper. Do you think I went overboard on the Glam Rocks? Maybe I did, but I still think it looks pretty cool. The image, Cutie Skull, is from our sponsor MelJen's Design.

Simply Betty Stamps Meets Fussy and Fancy

Happy Friday friends, today I am sharing a card that I made for 2 of my DT's. This cards was made for Simply Betty Challenge All about Rio. We were challenged to use any Rio image, black as the main color and a skull embellishment. At Fussy and Fancy Lisa is challenging us to Make a Card For a Child.Usually this is not my week to post for Fussy and Fancy but one of my fellow DT members needed some extra time so I offered to switch weeks. 

I combined Back To School Rio(Simply Betty Stamps) with the Bubblegum Machine from Patties Creations Digital Stamps. I think this is a perfect card for a preteen or teen age girl. They may not consider themselves a child but we all know that they till are. 

I hope you all have a fabulously crafty weekend.

Fussy and Fancy 33

Hello and Happy Friday everyone. I have 2 posts for you today, this is the first. This is my card for Fussy and Fancy Challenge 33. Chelsea has challenge us to use a zipper or feather on our projects. This was most definitely a challenge for me because I have never used either in my crafting. With all the cool zipper flowers out there I figured I give it a try. The zipper was white because I didn't know what I was going to do when we got it (Jennifer and I spit one zipper). I figured I could dye it what ever color I wanted to once I made my flower. My daughter picked black so she can wear it in her hair whenever she wants without having to worry about it matching. Now I need to go out and get more zippers so I can make her a few more in different colors. 

Here is the tutorial I used to make my flower. She kind of talks a lot but I thought her tutorial was pretty easy to follow.
