Colorful Happy Birthday

I had to give this card to a person quickly so I didn't get a chance to take a better photo. I love playing with the watercolor paints I have!

I'll Be Here

My 8-yeard-old nephew made this card -- I only added the white embossed sentiment since I didn't want him to handle the heat tool. I totally need to upgrade my phone or invest in new lighting but I did the best for now :)

Sept Challenges

This is for Mama Elephant's September challenge:

I made two easel cards, using kraft + black + white color combinations. For some reason, I absolutely love these colors together! I used stamps from Mama Elephant's Pandamonium and True Friend. The sentiment at the bottom is from Unity Stamp Co. Sorry, I took these pics at night time. Lighting is better during day, but I wanted to share it anyway. 

I want to enter this into Va la Verve's September Challenge, using Week 1 Sketch. 

Housewarming Party Challenge

I'm entering Catherine Pooler's Housewarming Party challenge.

This is the card - using Mama Elephant's In My Heart stamp set. I was excited to use window and grass die cuts. I cut out a lot of other things so I can use them for cards later. Again, it's been difficult putting cards together - my desk gets so messy and I find that too many hours have gone by. 

I would like to enter this into Viva la Verve's September Challenge, using week 2 sketch.

Hear Me Roar FWF

I love Unity Stamp Co.'s empowering women stamp set. It's one of my favorite. It's hard trying to plan a card together, especially with the collection I've got now and all my patterned paper calling to me. If you want to share, I'd love to know how you plan out cards in advance. My craft journal has ideas, but it feels like information overload. And I really need to focus on readings this year since it's a significant year in the program. I find myself bouncing back and forth, thinking about social work and then crafting, lol. Both have become important to me. Thank you so much for your comments, and I hope you all have a great weekend! 

This is being entered in today's Friends With Flair as well as Viva la Verve's September Challenge, using week 3 sketch.

Strength & Dignity FWF

I feel like I'm always in a rush, needing to get somewhere. Once again, I can't write a full entry but wanted to enter Friday with Flair :) Another card for another good friend, and I'm blessed with many of those! I'm sorry, I'll try to make my entries more detailed next time. School started this week so I'm trying to adjust to the new schedule as well... thanks so much for visiting and commenting. It really makes me happy. ♥
