Use it or Lose It challenge 7

Welcome to Use it or Lose it challenge 7. Its all about weddings. My mom is getting married may 19 so that's whats its all about in the house.

These are the thank you cards i have made for her. They kinda follow the invites that she bought. Its hard to see in the photo, but i watered down some create a shade and painted it on the card for the pearly sheen. The embossing folder is from hobby lobby. The die is from papertrey ink. It is pretty awesome. I love our thanks stamp. And its only 6.95. What a deal.

We would love for you to visit Use it Or Lose it and play along with the wedding theme.

SOTM bloghop - April

Welcome to this months sotm blog hop. This month we are showcasing "You Are..."

This is a circle hop, so you can start anywhere. Before me in the hop is Brae . Next in the hop is Krista

I had a hard time with this one and i'm not sure why. Then I got inspiration from a card in the idea book. It is a pure CASE, except i used the sotm. The card below is the on I made

This is the card found on page 109 in the idea book. I did not have the persnickety journal spots, so i made my own. to get the border, i just cut a frame for the cricut, since all the chipboard has cricut cuts, and used it as a mask.then stamped the lines from the sotm and embossed, then sponged in the color.

hope you enjoyed my artwork. Next in the hop is Krista

I'm gonna be gone for a while

Normally i do the spotlight blog hop on the 15 th, and as you can see this month I didn't. Why? Because I just found out I moving back to Michigan. Only til oct, maybe. My hubby reenlisted and his new ait date is may 2013. What? So I can't deal with another year of fort Irwin, which is practically hell on earth. So I'm moving back for half of that. I already have most of my craft room packed, so I am unable to craft. I will still be doing the sotm blog hop on the first, because the card is already made. Hah, got those done when I got all my new stuff in jan. but the spotlight and use it or lose it blogs I will not be able to participate in, till I get home in April. I will be drive all the way there, yes from Cali to Michigan , with my mil and my dog. But once I am there, I should have all the fun stuff I am making for my moms wedding to post. Yes use it or lose it will still be running, just without my artwork. See you soon.
