All the Chicks Say to Fill Your Heart with what is Important Memorydex Card

The chicks for this memorydex card came from Hobby Lobby.  The yard stick piece, the ticket and the milk bottle top are from Tim Holtz.

Butterfly Embellishments

 These butterflies were for a butterfly embellishment swap at Paper Paws. My partner was a lady named Cheryl.   I forgot to take pictures of them until they were already packaged and ready to go.  We were to make 3 embellishments that included a butterfly.

My favorite:

There is so much glare on this rosette, it doesn't show up well:

Striped Black and White Christmas or Any Occasion Tag

This tag that I had made can really be used for any occasion, although I had made it with Christmas in mind.
   It measures approximately 4 x 6" and is made once again without dragging out any tag dies.  I simply cut a 4 inch strip the length of a 12" sheet of cardstock, folded it in half, angled the top, punched the hole, and glued the two sides down (they are attached at the fold on top).  I didn't do anything to the bottom edge because I usually like the bottom to be square when I use striped paper.

Supplies Used:

Tag:  cardstock unknown, edged in unknown black ink

Top bow:  The Stamps of Life die, unknown gold glitter cardstock

Sentiment:  The Paper Studio

Gold Glitter Washi Tape along bottom:  The Paper Studio

White Roses:  Wild Orchard Crafts

Black Wired Organza Ribbon:  unknown

Narrow gold ribbon:  unknown
Adhesives:  Zip Dry Paper Glue, hot glue to glue down flowers and black ribbon

Stampabilities

There is a Lovely Lady...

Here is the latest challenge sent to me for this week:
- 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card
- Any inks and/or embossing powder
- Any sentiment mounted any way
- One stamp
- Absolutely nothing else
- 30 minutes from start to finish

Made this little quickie with a 50 cent Scrappy Cat image and a Impression Obsession sentiment:

Had almost 10 minutes left, so I made this card with a snowflake from The Paper Studio, but because the clock was running out, I stamped the sentiment (Serendipity) straight on to the card.
