Update on Me

So, I've kinda been slacking a little...SORRY! I have been totally behind on my crafting lately, but I will hopefully be posting some new stuff tonight or this weekend. I'm all over the H2H Challenge in my head, just haven't made it to paper yet, Literally!! lol
As a side note, I wrote a while back about starting a diet and just wanted to say, my first month of the diet has gone and I am 8 pounds lighter!!! Yay! My end goal is to lose 32-42 more pounds. 42 more would be like my dream weight, but I would be super super super happy with 30, heck I'd be happy with 20. lol
Just wanted to send out an update of some kind!
More coming soon, I Promise!!

H2H Challenge #6

I haven't done any crafts all week!!! But here I am Finally catching up!

This week's H2H Challenge was to create something that uses a technique and show how to do the technique.

My Boyfriend's bowling team made it into the Championships and they always call me their Cheerleader. Since they made it to the championships, I said I would do something Cheerleader-like for the big game.

So I decided this would be a Perfect Opportunity to bring my sracpbooking to the bowling alley! I made a sign to show off at the game.

The Technique I used was Chalk Popping. The background of the sign is a stars and swirls stamp from the Star Power stamp set. For this technique you just need: VersaMark, Chalk, and a stamp!

First, stamp your image in VersaMark.

Next, stamp it on the paper.

Next, use your chalk applicator and rub over where you stamped.

This technique works really great with background stamps...which I didn't use on this, but I still like how it turned out.

Here's some close ups of the chalk popping:

Can't believe I made this in time!!!

Hope you like it :)

H2H Challenge and Mojo Monday

I know it's Thursday, but here's my H2H Challenge and Mojo Monday entry. Needless to say I'm super behind with my crafts! I have made 4 Mother's Day cards and wanted to send out 13...Maybe next year.

The H2H challenge this week is just to make something for Mother's day. The Mojo Monday entry is the below sketch.

Well, here's my entry, hope you like it.

The card is 5 by 7 and I used Bella paper and some Colonial white Cardstock.

The HAPPY letters are Bella stickease and I inked the paper flowers. The Creme Brulee flower is inked with Desert Sand and the White flower is inked with Hollyhock, the Purple flower is a Bella stickease that I cut then just added a white edge anchor as the base.
