BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!!

Hey crafters...
Its that time of the year..... kids heading off to school.  Last year, I made a cute supply cake for my then Kindergartner to take for her first day of school.  This year I just could not get all of the supplies in time, so I opted to make a card instead...
Mary over at CARDZTV made a very cute S-fold card the other day. Please head over to her blog to check it out-- here is the link to the video for the card.

Here is my take on the "Back to School" card

 

 

 I had the DCWV " The Grade School" stack, which I love and have used previously in different school projects for my kids.  When I cut the DP for the inside panel I had notice that "teacher" and "first grade" were right in the center and thought it was perfect to highlight that part since the card was meant for her first grade teacher... Perfect coincidence!!!!  I used the Cricut Recess cartridge for the pencil and Locker Talk for the sheet of paper.   I left the inside panel blank so my kid can sign her name and will add the gift-card to the bottom of the inside panel... I used some 3-D stickers I had in my stash for the letter.
All in all, I really love how this card turned out... Thanks Mary for the inspiration to make this card!!!!


This week both My Craft Spot and fantabulous cricut challenge blog  have challenges going on with back to school themes, and I am planning on submitting the card in...

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you enjoyed the card..

Eat Drink & be Married

Hi fellow Crafters... hope you all had a great summer... Cant believe it is almost over.

Today I wanted to share some wedding favors that a co-worker asked me to make for her son's wedding next month.. I jumped to the opportunity to show my creative talents!!!!  Here is a sneak of some of the favors I have made so far....

I got the design and direction for the favors from ChicnScratch- You-tube video ( Easter Treat holder).

They were simple to make and holds anywhere from 3-5 chocolate nuggets or small bag of kisses inside them very easily.  I used the Jaded Blossom- Curly Label die for the mat and the sentiment stamp is from Jaded Blossom - The Perfect Match .  I took left over pieces of the same card stock used to make the favors to wrap the nuggets in and used a background stamp on a few to give them just a little character.  I am really pleased with how they are turning out..specially since this is my first time making something this big for anyone.  Hope she likes it!!

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my latest creation.  

Hope you enjoyed it as much as I had making it :)

Can't believe it's been a whole month since I last posted... So much going on with family and work that I had to put crafting on the back burner... Felt good to finally sit down and get crafty!!!!!
Well graduation parties have finally come to an end and wedding parties have officially started.

I got a head start on cards this weekend since I already have received 3 wedding invitations already for this summer.
Indian wedding really don't have a color scheme usually so I used a color challenge as inspiration for the card stock and design of the card... Love the cute couple on the front of the card... They are from Jaded Blossom Stamps.  You can head over to their website here Jaded Blossom: The Perfect Match.

Cardz TV Card Challenge # 4 Create a Thank You card.

Hi everyone!
Here is a Clean and simple card I made for the Cards TV challenge #4 going on currently on their blog:
cardsztv.blogspot.com.

The image is from Tiddly inks and the sentiment is from Inkadinkado- thanks.

I colored the image using color pencils (Crayola) and Gamsol.  I haven't used my color pencils a lot, but really had fun using this medium and liked the finished look.  I am still mastering the art of grounding my images, and think I did a pretty decent job with the shadowing.  Still need to improve my shading.

hope you enjoyed the card as much as I had making it.  

Thanks for stopping my.
