Hey friends! I knew that once the semester started, I'd be hard-pressed to blog regularly, but I had no idea how seldom I'd even think about blogging. I've certainly not stopped crafting, but have been mostly sharing through Instagram and Facebook. So, please feel free to check out my IG account (@scrapally) ! I've been busily sharing many of my Life Documented and Project Life layouts there...
But this weekend I had the pleasure of hanging out with some of my favorite crafty ladies, and they reminded me how much fun cardmaking, stamping, and playing along with challenges are! After working on a couple of Life Documented layouts, they convinced me to participate in some Moxie Fab World challenges. Oh, what fun Cath is having on the Moxie Fab World blog right now! I started with the Stickers and Tape Challenge . Here's my entry...
I created this fun little number by adhering various tapes to a subtle patterned cardstock and then cutting into squares. Then I cut each square in half so that I'd have a bunch of triangles. To finish the card, I lined the triangles up, added some stitching and stamped the sentiment using my favorite stamps - Paper Smooches .
Next up I decided to tackle the Ready Made Embellishments Challenge . What better way to start out than with the new Simple Stories Snap Cards. I am all about the fun hashtags ( I may be a bit obsessed with them). So, the #Awesome on the 3x4 Snap card from the Her set immediately caught my eye. Pair that up with the fun black and white animal print 4x6 card from the same set and you have a Simple Stories match made in heaven. A little washi, some bling, a few more Paper Smooches stamps, and a titch of pearl paint, and you have a fun and easy card!
And that's how I spent my weekend, how about each of you?
Both great, but as a part time quilter, love, love, love the first card! Would love to see this in a quilt!
