Challenge 14 - Anything Goes

Hello and welcome ---

This time at Craft Us Crazy we are doing the popular theme of "Anything Goes."   As a matter of fact this is our theme for the entire month of August.  I decided to try my hand at a silhouette.  I have never done one before and when I saw this image at Kelly's Kids, I just had to try it.  It envokes so many emotions (ie., best buddies, memories, friends, together) that I decided not to give it a theme but let the viewer decide what it means to them.  Kelly's Kids sponsorship runs from August 3 to August 10.  Please check out her great digis.

The picture frame is $1 from Michael's painted black using acrylic paint.  Image was printed on white cardstock then the background was colored using Tim Holtz Distressed Inks (Vintage Photo and a hint of Spiced Marmalade). Trim was from JoAnn's and background paper was from Graphic45.

Anything Goes

Hello and Welcome

Another challenge at Craft Us Crazy and this one is Anything Goes.   If you are old like some of us you can remember that song.  LOL 

Our sponsors this time are Digital Delights from July 21 till July 27.    The winner get three digital images.  When I saw this set of Baking Bears I knew just what I wanted to do.  I have been trying for a long time to put together a cook book.   Inspiration stuck (finally) and I decided to make a tag.  I am now going to put all my favorite recipes on tags and then make a book.  I am so excited.   

Our sponsor from July 28 - August 3 is Sweet an Sassy Stamps.  They have some of the cutest stamps out there.   

Please check out both of our sponsors for some truly awe-inspiring work.  Thank you for looking.

Challenge 12 at Craft Us Crazy

Another couple of weeks, another challenge due.  This week at Craft Us Crazy we are excited to do Christmas In July - Distressed and/or Vintage.  Our sponsor from July 7 - 13 is Peggy Loves Vintage and from July 14 - July 20 is Crop Chocolate.  Both places offer different and wonderful items so please, check them out.   I choose a vintage digi called "Candles with Holly".   This is such a pretty image that I decided to make a Christmas box.   You always need some little box for that special gift to a loved one.   The ribbon and box was purchased from Hobby Lobby, pointsetta's were from I Am Roses which were dipped in coffee to make them appear old and the papers were from my stash.  I hope you enjoy.

Challenge 11 at Craft Us Crazy.

Hello again. Well it is time for another challenge at Craft Us Crazy. This time it can be either a Summer Theme and/or Red, White and Blue. For some insane reason I am getting tired of making cards. I am just burnt out and I am hoping this phase passes. So I have turned my attention to altering anything I can get my hands on. LOL I found this little bird house (I really found 4 birdhouses) at Hobby Lobby for $1 and this started the juices flowing. These little birdhouses are fun to decorate and help use up that mound of scrap paper everyone has laying around.



Please check out our sponsor for this challenge. They are Limited Runs and Squigglefly. They have such darling designs and I know you won't be disappointed.



Thank you for looking and comments are always appreciated.

Challenge 10 at Craft Us Crazy

Hello and welcome back.  Challenge 10 at Craft Us Crazy is "Happy Father's Day or Masculine Colors" theme.  This time it's all about the guys !!!  I personally find doing male designs harder to do than female designs.  I guess it's because I can't add any bling.  LOL   The car is from a cd of Ephemera and the saying was made using Word.  I hope you enjoy and please check out our sponsors.  Lauretta See is our sponsor from June 9 - 16 and Pink Gem Designs is our Sponsor from June 16 - 23.   Also check out our Monthly sponsor which is Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps.

Challenge 9 Love and/or Rememberance

Love and/or Rememberance is probably my favorite challenge so far at Craft Us Crazy.   It condures up so many possibilities because who doesn't have some special memories of some event or person(s) in our lives.  I dug out my wedding album from 1977 (yes, 1977) and made something special for my husband and for me also.   I can look at it all the time instead of it sitting in a drawer.   I hope it will inspire you to make something very special for yourself or a loved one(s).    This is a painter's tray from 7 Gypsies.

Our sponsor's for the next two weeks are Stamp Fairy and Digis by Phooka.  Each has such wonderful designs.  You must check them out.  Stamp Fairy is giving away $9.00 Gift Certificate and Digis by Phooka is giving a $10.00 Gift Vocher.   What fabulous prizes and good luck to all who participate. 

 

Thank you for coming to my blog and I hope to see you back soon.  If you have a chance, I would love to hear from you.  Have a great day.

Challenge #8 at Craft Us Crazy

Can you believe that we are on our 8th challenge at Craft Us Crazy.  Time sure does fly by.  The challenge this week is "Something New Or Fave Embellishments" and our sponsor is the Digital Delights and the Pixie Cottage.  They have such cute designs, but my pick was Let the Monkey Business Begin.
This time I tried something new, I made a money holder for my nephews' High School Graduation and this digital image just captured the moment.   Now if anyone in the family is viewing this - don't tell him !!!!!

I hope you like this as much as I enjoyed making it.  I love comments, so please leave me some love.
