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. 

Challenge 7 at Craft Us Crazy

Hello everyone and welcome back.  Well the challenge this time is Mother's Day and/or Flowers at Craft Us Crazy.   We are having two - yes two sponsors this time.  The first half of the challenge is being sponsored by Meljen's Designs and wait until you see her work.  Everything she has is so darn cute.  From animals to people you will find something of hers to spark your fancy.  The prize is 4 digi stamps of your choice. 

Here is my take on her "Victorian Bird Cage."   The minute I saw this I knew my mother would have liked this digital stamp.  She loved red birds.  Even though she is no longer with us, this card is for the special memories my mom gave to me.

And beginning May 5th our sponsor of the challenge is Your Next Stamp.  Wait until you see their work.  It is just wonderful especially their signature lines.  Please check them out.

Last but not least please check out our monthly sponsor for May.  It is The Cutting Cafe.  Her designs are just awe inspiring.  As always, I love to hear from you so if you have the time leave me some love.  Thank you for looking at my site.

Hello and welcome back.  The bi-weekly challenge at Craft Us Crazy this time is Easter/Spring Theme.   Our sponsor this time is Peggy Loves Vintage and wait until you see what she has in her store.  Warning:  Vintage lovers be prepard to be amazed.   

Here is some information from our sponsor:

My husband and I have shared 36 years together and we have 2 sons and a daughter and 2 glorious grandkids ages 3 and 6.  I started collecting vintage cards quite by accident. I was helping with my aunts estate sale and ran across her collection. The cards were so wonderful that I fell in love with them and have been collecting them ever since.
I love to get a new vintage scrapbook and read all about the lives and times of the individual. Some of their stories are truly inspiring.


Be sure and visit my blog where you'll find some great inspiration, tips, tricks and some free vintage images for you to use.

Prize package – 5 different cut outs from store - $17.50 value


This digi image is already colored so how wonderful is that?   When I saw this image I knew just what I wanted to make and it was an Easter box for my grandson, Mason.   Since he can't join in the Easter Egg Hunt this year (he can't even crawl yet !!!), I decided to bring the eggs to him.

I loved this image so much that I put it on the front and inside of the box.  lol  Box came from Michaels.  Papers from Archiever's.  Punch from Martha Stewart.  Letters were cut from Plantin Schoolbook at 1" then stickled.  Liquid pearls in multiple colors for inside of blue flowers.   Butterflies were from my stash that I have had for years.  See - you should never throw anything away !!!!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.  Be sure and check out our monthly sponsor.

Birthday Card

Hello and Welcome - today I decided to make a birthday card with the sketch from I Did It Creations.  I immediately thought about my grandson's 4th birthday, which is coming up in April.  The digi is from Bugaboo Stamps and the rest is from my stash.  I keep promising myself that I will use up all of my papers before I buy more, but so far I have broken my promise.  lol  I hope you enjoy this and all comments are welcomed.
