Card of the Week and Best of the Blogosphere: April 24, 2010

Sorry -- I skipped last week.  I had another week of craziness.  This time it was all Google's fault.  I had 1000+ posts that I had tagged, etc, that dropped all the info and plopped back into my que.  I had to do them all over again.  There are a LOT of crafts to share this week.

I'm adding new boxes for graduation and Father's Day.  

Enjoy.

Sorry -- I skipped last week.  I had a surreal 7 days of craziness. 

1. Our guinea pig died.  Doesn't sound like much, but we had George for 5 years and he was beloved.

2. Rob got laid off.  This was not unexpected but somehow we were still surprised.  They chose to lay him off on the last day of the month, so guess what... no medical benefits effective immediately.  Bastards.  (He doesn't feel that way... I'm less forgiving.)

3. Rob got a new job.  Yep.  Just like that.  We seriously expected to spend up to a year finding another job.  We both feel truly blessed that a new job found him/us so quickly.

That's it.  I think it's a pretty good excuse to skip a blog post.  I'm organized again now.  I switched out our BOB boxes to make room for Mother's Day ideas.  I love this time of year.  Spring just seems to bring out the crafting best in all of us.  

Enjoy.

Card of the Week & Best of the Blogosophere: March 6 - 12, 2010

This week, I was lucky enough to score some crafting time.  I played along with a couple of the Paper Craft Planet challenges... and BOY was I challenged.

First, I played along with Amy's 3d challenge....

Cool, right?! I was so happy with how it turned out.  I feel like I made a Longaberger basket...really!

Next, was my own challenge.  You're getting a sneak peak of tomorrow's sketch challenge.  

For the record, I'm doing the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace course.  I'm all about the budget right now.  I used the new Chicken Girl digi stamps from i{heart}papers.  There is nothing like the instant gratification of downloadable stamps.  Sigh.  Makes me feel a little budget guilty... but it doesn't last.  Digi stamps are cheap, resizeable and you have them forever in every size. Makes them almost perfect for anything, even photo mugs!

I printed this cute little bunny on my Neenah paper from Paper Temptress.  I colored it with my Copics (from i{heart}papers) and put it together with some older SU papers that I had in my stash.

You ROCK!

I recently bought my first Clear & Simple Stamps -- this is the MP3 Darling set. I'm smitten :) How fun is this card? I'm playing with cutter files again.... 

I made a little box to go with it, but in typical "Susanna" fashion, I gave it away before getting a chance to photograph it. I'll try to make another one.  I also couldn't figure out whether to color the MP3 player.  I don't think it has to be colored, but in the end, I couldn't resist.   

Here's the word art cutter file if you want it.

Sketch Challenge

Welcome to this week's sketch challenge. I had SO MUCH FUN making this card!

hmmmm... wonder how she would look blond....

Yep, still so cute! The stamp is "Pure Innocence" and it's called "My Balloon". I'm smitten. I going to share a couple of tips --

• Cut the Nestability first and then stamp, using the die as a mask. You can tell I did NOT do this. For this image, it's really hard to line up the 1/2 balloon with the cut line. This would have made my grass look better too.
• Pick the papers and then color. I finally wised up and did this and I'm so much happier with how "cohesive" the final card looks. 

Here are the Copics that I used --

OK, here's the sketch:

To play along this week, simply make a card and upload it to the Paper Craft Planet photo area with the tag "sk022710". We will pick a "Shooting Star" from all the cards made between now and next Saturday and that person will be featured in the gallery and in the newsletter. I hope you play along -- I love this one!

OK, I messed around with the categories -- I removed all the Valentine's Day stuff and promoted Easter and added St. Patrick's Day. I think I have you covered... smirk.
