OWH MWT: Recipe Mix

The recipe: 1 Embossing Folder, 1 Border Punch or Die, 2 Patterned Papers, and 1 Ribbon or Twine.  Great card recipe!  I used one of my new Studio G stamps that just seemed perfect for OWH cards...and had letters that can be colored or fussy cut.  Cutting seemed to be the way to go as I just love the polka dots in the sentiment.

OWH Sketch 161

My mojo has been taking a little siesta today; I started on this sketch this am and finally finished a card I am happy with.   I also had to work in between the start and finish but that usually doesn't bother me.

Okay...so I realize that those big brads take away from the focal point (sentiment) but they remind me of antique shoe buttons.  Sentiment is based upon a digi by Paulette at TLC.  I downloaded her freebie, but there was a problem and all I got was black.  In the words of Charlie Brown aaarrrggghhh! So I created my own sentiment...not as pretty as Paulette's but it works.

Moxie Fab World: The Camera Craze

I could not resist linking up to this fun challenge.  I was super inspired by Jaclyn Miller's card which was featured on Moxie Fab World.  Her uber fabby card got my mind working overtime.  I decided I could make little cameras using a couple of metal accents & some black and silver cardstock.  Sentiment is by Hero Arts.  Some twine to add a little interest.

OWH MWT: Fun Fold

This is my first attempt at a fun fold card.  Unfortunately, it doesn't lay flat (maybe velcro?).  The image is by Cre8tive Hands.  I thought I needed to practice coloring a few images as I have taken a break.  I might need to check out a tutorial just to make sure of some of the deets. 



Boot Camp: Focal Point

I decided to take a different approach to this month's Boot Camp topic: Focal Point.  I decided to pull out two scrap cards I had made using Dixie's Triple Time matting.  The top card has a much stronger focal point (sentiment) than the second...but I want to hear what Paula has to say.  

VCMP Day 2



Challenge #3: Selective Embossing



Third time is a charm...well not really...I am not feeling alot of love for this card but it is my best effort. 
















Challenge #7:  Caffeine




I really like the image with the sentiment stamped on the same piece...I am not sure if there is a better placement...any suggestions to improve?  Not sure who the maker of the stamp set is...I bought them used with no packaging. Papers are from the scrap pile.


Challenge #8



I cheated on this card...no Washi to be found...so I used ribbon that I had purchased at the same time as the pad.  Paper is MME; digi by Paula.



Challenge #9: All White & 3 Layers



Okay...I misread the instructions...I wrapped the ribbon 3x...oops!  Shhh...All white cards scare the heck out of me!



Challenge #10:  Glitz & Glam without Glitter



This card was so easy it scared me.  The sticker already had the bling.  I was going to add ribbon or twine but I did not like the look so I skipped it.

I had so much fun this weekend...another successful VCMP!  Thanks to Allison for putting it all together!
