MAKE IT MONDAY #223: CAMOUFLAGED POCKET INSERTS

Create a project utilizing your take on the challenge. Your project must use at least one Papertrey product and a camouflaged pocket insert.

Dawn came up with an interesting challenge!

Since it's September, I am currently obsessed with leaves!

So I hauled out my Enclosed Leaf set and I added Leaf Prints and Autumn Acorns.

I don't have the pocket die Dawn used, so I just cut a rectangle and used a circle punch to notch the top of the pocket.

I used Monthly Moments: Journal Card 6 Die 

I could have done a slightly better job lining up my layers for the frame of the leaf...

But it is a cute MIM.

Thank you Dawn, for another fun challenge!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

SAF 2015: RED CARPET CHALLENGE

I thought I was done.

I forgot about the Red Carpet Challenge!

I had to edit this to add my arm in my bracelet.

MY right arm was barely long enough to get my left arm and cards in the picture and it is REALLY late!

I am totally done now!

I put my tally in my previous post but here it is again:

I made 11 cards, 1 gift tag, 1 bracelet, 1 felt necklace and 1 altered shirt!

Night, night!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

SAF 2015: MAKE IT WORK CHALLENGE

-Create a new card from pieces of reject cards or alter a card from earlier today that you were not happy with.  It's all about making it work!

I was not happy with this card because my stamping was not totally centered.

It was made worse by the black outline and being a VERY tired stamper!

I re-made it leaving out the black outline and giving more attention to my stamping.

I used stamp foam under my images to give better coverage.

It looks better to me. I am much happier with the execution of my stamping. Because, that is what it is all about.

What a fun day but I am exhausted.

I made 11 cards, 1 gift tag, 1 bracelet, 1 felt necklace and 1 altered shirt!

I participated in all of the challenges except for the machine stitching.

If I can get out of bed tomorrow, I might try making one card with my dusty machine!

Good night to everyone who stuck with me, especially my sister Pat *Hi Pat*

She is my biggest cheerleader!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

SAF 2015: RUNWAY INSPIRED CHALLENGE

What a stunning dress. And Dawns card is STUNNING!

My card is pretty. I am happy with the layout, but it has 9pm stamping!

I am getting a bit weary and fried!

Normally I would re-stamp images that aren't more centered, but...

Pretty colors and again Vintage Linen. You just cannot go wrong.

Ok! The 9pm challenge is up...

One more to go...

Thank you for looking at my blog!

SAF 2015: PINS + NEEDLES CHALLENGE ~ Heather Faux stitching

I don't think I am going to manage a real stitched card.

I would literally have to dust my machine off. Literally!

I will barely get this done before the next challenge starts!!!

I have never purchased any stitching kits, so I made it work!

The bubbles from Home Brew!

Don't they kind of look like stitches?

I tried shadow stamping them like Heather showed but not sure you can see it.

Anyway. I made it work!

And a double bonus. Another stick pin!

YeeHaw!!!

Thank you for looking at my blog!

SAF 2015: PINS + NEEDLES CHALLENGE ~ Melissa Pin

Whew! The stairs from my stamp room to the computer are getting steeper!!!

I LOVE Melissa's shabby style. I cannot copy it but I can tie a shabby bow and put a pin in it!

My pin was hidden when I turned my card to the right, so I turned it left.

HaHa! Not so good snapping pictures that direction!

Don't you just LOVE Vintage Linen?

Thank you for looking at my blog!

SAF 2015: UNCONVENTIONAL MATERIALS CHALLENGE ~ Tag

Ok, I wasn't going to post this tag, but I thought what the heck!

Not my best work. But I get credit for trying to think out side the box, right?

Some kind of chain. TRYING to emulate the veins of leaves...

I know. It is kind of lame...

Thank you for looking at my blog!
