A Crafty Week with My Sister

A Crafty Week with My Sister

My sister drove up from Oklahoma this week (dodging snow storms along the way) to spend a few fun days with me, and we have certainly shopped and cropped our way through the week. Okay, so maybe there was a little more shopping being done, but a girl’s gotta stock up on that good crafty stuff, you know. 

Sometimes I need a visit from my crafty sibling to get my scrapbook bottom on track, so it’s always nice to get a visit from my sis from time-to-time. Other than spending hours in craft stores and scrapbook shops, here is what we’ve been up to (and what kind of mess I’ve made).

My sister finished lots of projects, including some Bo Bunny cards, several layouts and a mini album.

I on the other hand, made a huge mess and worked my way through day seven of 2015’s December Daily album. I’m a slow scrapbooker. . .

Sketch-254It has been awhile since I participated in the Operation Write Home sketch challenge, but I took a little time for myself this Mother’s Day weekend to do a bit of quilting and crafting. This sketch was actually basic enough to make for a quick card creation, even with the spin on interpretation.

There’s no bling, just the basics on this one, but it still turned out pretty cute. I used Authentique’s Humble Bundle 6×6 pack for all the papers, added a stamped sentiment, inked the edges and added a line of stitching. I usually keep my paper sewing machine at the ready, so it’s easy to add an accent here or there.

It has been a while since my last creative card post, but this week’s challenge from Freshly Made Sketches seemed like the perfect opportunity to use my new little elephant die. The papers all came from different sources and the twine and pink embellishments were items I already had on hand — yeah! Of course, I inked everything, but I used a pink Cat’s Eye for a more subtle look. I think this cute card would be perfect for a baby shower or young girl’s birthday.
