Memories

Here's my entry for several challenges this week:

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog:  #71 Let's Be Friends
My Craft Spot:  #19 You Make Me Smile
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday:  #129 Favorite Flowers

I love CAS cards (Check out the Less Is More blog), and for me the sketches I've just begun to find here on Mojo Monday are on the opposite end of the spectrum.  Its fun to be able to exercise my creativity in both directions.  Left to my own devices, my style comes somewhere in the middle.

Ribbon rose detail

Sentiment detail

K&Co. and  Bazzill Basics paper.  Straight From the Nest and Graphically Speaking carts.  Offray ribbon.  Antique Linen Distress Ink.  Sizzix embossing folder.  Ribbon roses unknown.  Finished card measures 4.5x6.25".  Designed on my Gypsy.

***From My Video Tutorial Archive***


This week I was bestowed such an honor, over at FCCB, one of my video tutorials was selected for one of the Thursday's Tutorials!  (Thursday's Tutorials, 8.4.11).  The theme was a gift or card for a friend.  It was one of my earlier videos when the Forever Young cart was new and in my pre-Gypsy days.  I've also gained a bit more experience in producing videos since then, so its fun for me to look back.  To see more of my creativity in action, hop on over my YouTube channel.  Videos are so much fun!

Thank you AmyJo for selecting my video from just a random viewing on the web.  Your comments were too kind!  And thank you to all my new subscribers and those who are kind enough to post comments.  The feedback is wonderful and simply fuels my desire to share more!  In addition, Tammybowstamper has another FY cart video that is also featured.  So many great ideas with this cart!
Enjoy!
 Photo featured on card is of my dear cousin Natasha.  She lives in Vegas and recently visited the NW this summer.  Here we are at a bar-be-que in Eugene.
