Brand New "Chevron" Challenge at Frosted Designs!!!

Well hey there neighbors!!!  I'm popping in to let you know about a wonderful new challenge posted at Frosted Designs!!!  All you have to do is add chevrons to your project... THAT'S IT!!!!!  How hard can that be?!?!?  

So after contemplating what I wanted to make, I finally came to the conclusion that I would make a card for my daughter's new teacher!  I always make a card for the first day of school so I went to work :-)

Here's a look:

I used this month's Summer's End kit to create this adorable card!!!

I started with a Kraft base and layered up some papers from the kit, inking the edges with Frayed Burlap distress ink.  I added a pocket about half the size of the card to hold one of the wooden pieces included in the kit!  I grabbed my Heidi Swapp Chevron Stencil and my Frayed Burlap Distress Marker to create the pattern on the pocket :-)

I used a couple of flowers and one of the wooden leaves, that was colored with the same marker and coated with Lindy's Stamp Gang Beige magical for shimmer!

I just love this beautiful wood piece and knew I wanted it as part of this card!  I strung some white ribbon through the top and used my marker to go around the very outer edge!

Isn't it wonderful?!?  Easy peasy!  

 Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)

Card Sketch #26 at Sketch N Scrap with Simple Stories "Homespun" Collection!!!

Hello everyone!!!  It's time for another amazing card sketch at Sketch N Scrap!!!  

Here's a look at this week's sketch:

I used the Simple Stories "Homespun" Collection to make a card for my daughter's teacher! 

Here's the card:

I've always been a fan of Simple Stories... Their collections are very versatile and can be used to create all sorts of projects!!!  

I kept the card relatively simple because I was making a number of projects at the same time!  This sketch was perfect for making a recess window card and that's exactly what I did!  

I created my "window", then layered on several stickers and die-cuts from the collection!

I just love the colors!!!!  I finished the card with some hemp cord threaded through a chipboard heart (I punched holes with my Crop-A-Dile) and tied in a bow!

A simple, but adorable card to show my gratitude for such a wonderful teacher!

Well gang... Thanks sooo much for stopping in and have a LUCKY day :-)
