3 YEAR OLD PROJECT ON THE LINE...

Hi everyone,

I've somehow been on a roll over the last few weeks! I told myself that I'd only be able to post once a month and lately...that's not been the case. Hopefully this roll I'm on will keep on and eventually snowball into some celebrated success! (smile) Now, the inspiration card you are about to see was done by me at a convention about three years ago (tells you how far behind my craft projects are). My friend Cindy and I normally get together every friday evening to work on cards and a couple weeks ago, I was emptying off the card line in my craft room and she saw this card and asked me to keep it out on my table so she could make it. During that week I was constantly seeing this card in my face like a thorn in my side and came to the conclusion, it wasn't going to go away until I gave in and made some!

Keep in mind the cards I put up on my line are there first for inspiration and then for possible future projects, so this card was well within it's rights to haunt me that way. LOL!
What you are about to see is my version of this card and, by the way, it was a Paper Crafts class I took at the convention to make the original card. Please tell me what you think. I'm not real happy with the flower but, that's what I had to work with. The one's I used in the class were punched, embossed and sanded. Thanks for stopping by, Happy Crafting and stay tuned!

This is the inspiration card!

GETTING READY FOR CONVENTION! WHOO-HOOO!

So, I'm getting ready for the convention that takes place in Valley Forge, PA. I always go with my sister Rachel - http://www.aoneofakinddesignbyrachel.blogspot.com/ She's the one that started me in all of this! I look forward to this every year almost as much as our sister weekends (me and my 3 sisters and guests). Any who, I wanted to start on my swap cards and this is what I came up with. The idea came from a group of stamps I've probably had at least a year now and had never used! I took them out and placed them on my table in hopes to use them soon, not realizing I'd use them sooner than I thought! I did 30 cards in all. I did 5 each of the designs you see... kind of. The light blue cardstock and the orange cardstock that look primarily the same are in the same group of 5. I think I have 3 light blue and 2 orange in that group. I actually did one each of the girls on the purple and orange ones to make the 30.Hope you enjoy looking at the designs. I didn't win with my last entry to Mojo Monday or Caardvarks photo inspiration... so back to the drawing board! Thanks for stopping in to peek!
