I am so excited about today's post! first off, Mick's most fabulous girlfriend, Jocelyn, is here staying with us through the weekend. we love every time she comes for a visit! she's also working out at Camp, but I'd much rather focus on the time she spends here at the house! ;) she has been a part of the family for so long, it's a delight to have her around.
Next, did you know that so many movies are either already out or coming out soon for those of us of the 'geek' persuasion? between Iron Man 3 and Star Trek: Into Darkness, I am almost jumping up and down in my chair..... also want to see The Great Gatsby, but that appeals more the history buff in me..... a few days ago we went to see Oblivion. very good movie, but hubby was shocked that I called almost every moment of it. made me laugh! we watched Django Unchained last week. what a phenomenal movie. Quentin Tarantino is pure genius in my opinion. everyone in that movie deserved awards. we have the soundtrack and I listen to it almost every day.
anyhow, I am so happy to be a permanent guestie with Sandy and her DT over at Scribbles Designs! thank you, Sandy, for the invitation! The new challenge is to create projects for Mom or a special woman with flowers.
I decided to make a set of 3x3 notecards. I make most of my cards 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" square, so quite often I have that 3" strip of cs left over. I've started immediately cutting a 3" x 3" notecard from the strip so that after a while I have several ready to be made for a set. they come together fairly quick - well it's all relative for me anyhow. ;) not the usual 3+ hours it takes me to make a card.
I used several of Sandy's fun birdhouses and papers from the Basic Grey Serendipity and Fact collections. chevrons were cut with a MFT die. flowers are Prima; buttons & ribbons are from my stash. I thought it would be fun to send these to my MIL since she likes to give little notes to her friends.
Challenges:
Basic Grey - mix 'n match (Serendipity & Fact collections)
Clear it Out - 2 or more designer papers
Loves Rubberstamps - May Flowers
Shopping Our Stash - scrap attack
Kaboodle Doodles - ribbon & at least 1 button
Love to Create - pretty flowers
Songbird - bloom and grow
Hiding in my Craft Room - super scraps
Pumpkin Spice - flowers
Creative Corner - things with wings
Simon Says Stamp - flower power
it's ALWAYS good when you get along with "the girlfriend", but then, YOU are a joy to want to be around.
ReplyDeletelove, love, love the cards. i'm a huge fan of birdhouses.
our local library has FREE movies every wed. today's movie is PARENTAL GUIDANCE with billy crystal & bette midler. i may just take myself to see it.
have a great day.
hugs :)
Such a cute and whimsical little note card set! Love the birdhouses and the colors. Congrats on the new DT, they are lucky to have you!
ReplyDeleteSmacking head, with a why didn't I think of that. I always have the extra strip from square cards and I also always make 3 inch square lunch box notes. It will be a major time saver to have some 3 x 6 note cards cut and ready to decorate. Great idea! Thanks
All of these are adorable creations Jennifer! Love the birdhouse images and the fun zig zag pattern!! Congrats on your DT spot friend! HUGS
