Almost Artisan Blog Hop!

Okay, so I found out yesterday that I was NOT chosen as an Artisan Award winner, but since I took time to make all the projects and did my very best, some of us who did not get chosen decided we needed to showcase our efforts. For the Artisan Award, we had to make 5 cards, 3 scrapbook pages and 2 3D items (non card/scrapbook). So, for the next 10 days, you will get to see all 10 of my projects, one day at a time.

Amazing Almost Artisan Bloggers to look at.....

Almost Artisan Blog Hop Tour starts TOMMORROW!

So, for those of you who know me, I entered the SU! Artisan Award for the second year in a row. However, I did NOT get a call yesterday, so starting tommorrow, I will start showing my projects (one per day for the next 10 days) on my blog. Please so that I know that you are looking, just leave a little comment to help me over this disappointment.....just so I know that you have looked...it would make my day WONDERFUL!
I will also list the Blog "hoppers" that have beautiful projects to showcase that were not chosen. So, please take a look at all the hard work and fun we had in making these.
Thanks for looking.

Ribbon Flower in Ornament Punch Vase

I found the sketch idea for this in a magazine, and decided that I had to make one. I just took scraps of ribbon and looped them on the back of my layered circles and the "vase" is the ornament punch with a sliver of the pointed end sliced off.

Look Who's Turning! (1)

This is a card I actually used for both of my April workshops, this one was for my hostesses little boy who was turning one shortly after her workshop, I also did one exactly like this for my other hostess whose little GIRL was turning one also, I added some Pixie Pink to her card (forgot to take a picture :( , but I love this set and forgot that I hadn't used it yet!

Happy Mother's Day!

Okay, so I haven't posted any creations lately, so I was playing around with some ideas the other night and this kind of came out like I imagined it to. I don't have anyone to give it to, since I made a card for my mom already, but I guess it will just go into my stash, like so many others do..

Cupcakes anyone?

Okay so I FINALLY got my May Stampin' Success! What a lucious peice of work it is! And those new papers, simply incredible!~

Anyway.............now that I can see it in person.....I just wanted to share this project that I submitted almost exactly a year ago to SU! for a contest.....I thought it was cool to see the cupcake on the front of the SS! It isn't mine, but it is the same concept! Anyway, I didn't win then, but had never seen the cupcake before I made one and here it is on the front of the SS!
