A Free Image From Phindy!


Hello all!

Phindy's Group on PCP has reached 900 so Phindy has given us a new cutie patootie image, "Petticoat Patty". You should go on over, join the group, get the freebie, and then enter the Phindy Challenge this week while you're at it!

I just had to make a card with her so I made this one that fits into 5 challenges. It would have fit into Phindy's Challenge too but I already entered that one 3 times!!

The challenges for this card are:


2.) Sketch Saturday: sketch

3.) A Spoon Full Of Sugar Challenge: "Animal Crackers"

4.) Papertake Weekly Challenge: "In Stitches"

5.) Pollycraft Monday Challenge: Pinkalicious

Wow, my third 3D Project in one weekend!!



Okay everyone, here is my final 3D Project for Phindy's Challenge Blog!! I didn't know that I had it in me but I kind of got on a roll!! This is another template from The Wild Flower Patch - isn't it cute? This project fit into quite a few challenges, here we go:















1.) Pollycraft Monday - no cards, glitter and lace - definately not a card, green glitter circles and paper lace trim at the bottom.


2.) Paper Cutz - Circles, stars, or squares - I added the glitter circles and the sentiment is in a circle.


3.) Phindy's Challenge Blog - 3D project - I'd say this is 3D!


4.) Allsorts - embossing - I went a little crazy embossing the cardstock (#5)


5.) Pile It On - Something Interesting with Cardstock - well, first I embossed it, ALL OVER, then I added the glitter circles, THEN I cut it and folded it into this cute little treat box!


6.) Paper Sundaes - Birthday - easy peasy - It's a birthay box!


7.) Crafty Sentiments - Birthday - see #6!

Another 3D Project




I have another project to share with you today. I liked the box that I made for my mother so much that I made a note card holder to go with it. I was thinking that it would be really cute to fill it with matching cards, however, her birthday is tomorrow so this just isn't going to happen. I will go through my stash and fill it with random cards later tonight.


This is the "it's a keeper" template from the Wild Flower Patch. I used a Phindy image (the same one from the box) and with the exception of the cardstock, the rest of the papers are scraps!


The project is for (in addition to my mom's birthday) Phindy's Challenge Blog - 3D!

A Birthday Present??





Hello! I'm pretty excited about this project.....I think it's going to be part of my mother's Birthday Present!! It's sneaking up fast - Monday is only 3 days away!!
Anyway, this project is for Phindy's Challenge Blog. This week's challenge is to make a 3D Project, it can be a card with 3D elements or a whole project. I decided to use a template that I got from the Wild Flower Patch - Uptown Takeout. I haven't used it before so I was excited about that. I'm also excited that, with the exception of 1 piece of cardstock, I used all scraps - again! If you saw my scrap bin, you wouldn't believe I've been using it!!
So, back to the project. I thought this would be perfect for my mother who likes to "tinker in her yard". It would be neat to put seed packets and roll up a pair of garden gloves or one of those mini flower kits, but I'll probably end up filling it with candy! While I was making this, I was thinking of other Phindy Images that you could use to make different "birthday boxes": "Sudsy Suzy" would be great with bath beads in the box, "Jacks" would be perfect with Jacks in it, "Hopscotch" would work perfectly with some sidewalk chalk.....okay, you get the idea, there are lots of options!
Well, I guess I've chatted enough about this project, can you tell I liked it? Hope you do too!

2 more cards and both using only scrap papers!!

Okay, I'm getting pretty into using my scrap paper so while I was on a roll, I made these 2 cards!
The first is for the MelJen's Challenge this week - use fibers, ribbon, or lace.





This next card is for The Cupcake Craft Challenge - Strawberries and Cream - isn't Phindy's image just perfect for it?

My 5th Phindy Card this week with a little Mojo Mixed in!


Well, being home with a sick little girl is giving me the chance to post this card earlier than I had expected....maybe if she naps long enough I will be able to "play" some more today!!

This card is for the Phindy's Challenge Blog Challenge: Summer Sunshine. I'm glad to see that there seem to be more entries coming in this week.....there's still time to enter, it doesn't close until Thursday night! I used the sketch from Mojo Monday, it was a fun one!

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, this is another one using only scraps......you'd think that by now I'd see at least a small dent in my scrap stash, sadly, you still can't tell I've touched it!
