Housework Is Overrated

The new challenge at Everything Wendy Vecchi Yahoo Group is "a tag with a house on it", from Wendy's Book 3.  I just have to say that I have enjoyed the challenges there immensely. They really bring on creative thinking.

 

 

Supplies:
From My Stash- ribbons, snap, black cardstock, kraft cardstock, silver and bird charm



I hope your hands get creatively dirty soon!

Shabby-licious!!!!

Happy Saturday everyone! This week at Our Creative Corner, Susan Butler of Scrumplescrunch, is hosting. Susan's theme is unequivocally "Shabby Chic".  This means the shabby part of vintage! The challenge requires you to pull elements together, the more old and worn or distressed the elements or images are, the better. Think muted colors, layers, roses, burlap, and pearls.  You do not have to use all of these elements, or any for that matter.  The effect you are aiming for is a soft warm palette. 

If you need inspiration, please visit the other Design Team's blogs, and check out their shabby-licious creations!

I have taken many classes in my creative lifetime. One such class was how to make a mini book (about the size of an ATC) out of one sheet of 12x12 paper. I can't tell you how many of these I have made since. They are great for teacher gifts or for the doting Mother or Grandmother. This was one that I never finished. The paper used is from one of my favorite lines gcd Studios.

 

Supplies:
From My Stash: lace, blue twill tape, sheer ribbon
gcd Studios - retired paper (Tina Higgins - Ella Blue Collection)
Prima - madrigal Blossom White Librett
Recollections - pearl trim
