Merry Merry Merry

I was inspired to create this card after seeing a layout by Danielle Flanders. Her's was a scrapbook page, but I used the basic idea and created a Christmas card. I am loving the new Basic Grey Christmas papers. The plaids and the traditional Christmas colors are great!

Supplies: DCWV - card base, Basic Grey - patterned paper; Martha Stewart - punch; Craft Supply - buttons, snowflake, twine.

Enter If You Dare

We have a craft event coming up for church - and one of the girls asked if I was interested in hosting a craft - so I came up with this fun Halloween wreath. I used a styrofoam ring and covered it with strips of muslin that I had sprayed with glimmer mist. I added wiggle eyes and some spider webs, as well as a framed sentiment. I think it's pretty cute - if I do say so myself. :-)

Supplies: JoAnns - styrofoam ring, twine, buttons; Creatology - wiggle eyes; Tattered Angels - glimmer mist, frames.

Bad Blogger

Wow - I've been a seriously bad blogger these past several months. I do have an excuse though! I was the director for a girls camp for my church so all of my creative time was spent planning and executing that. I have made some cards...but I have failed to photograph them. :( But - I did come across a few photos I snapped with my iPhone. They are horrible quality, but it's all I got right now, ha ha!

In the coming weeks I hope to have a lot more to share, so stay tuned.
