Ok...so I failed!! PLUS I'm adding to the blog candy!

So much for doing equal amounts of card and layouts! I succeeded...for only a day! Maybe I was biting off more than I could chew, so I'm thinking at least one layout a week (going to shoot for two!). Sounds a little more realistic for me at the moment. I was able to crank out several cards and TWO layouts. I rely heavily on TallyScrapper challenges to kick my butt into gear!

This was a special order from an Etsy customer. She asked for LOTS of LAVENDER and that's what she's getting! I was playing with different shapes, rather than using straight lines all the time.
This is a GINORMOUS Penny Black Stamp!
I love this stamp from the new Angel Company catalog!
Holiday cards...don't you just love making them?!?!
There's a challenge over at TallyScrapper created by Top Tally herself, Christine! This was my take on it. We had to use purple and green, stitching, a tree and black and white photos. I freehand cut the tree and the leaves are cut up Prima flowers. And YES, I made my sons' costumes! I'm making costumes for them again this year! I can't tell you what or who they're going to be just yet...I'll save that for a future layout :).
The challenge also required us to use our left over scraps to make a card.
This layout took on a life of its own. I couldn't stop adding to it. Everytime I looked at it I thought it needed more "lines" and so there they are...LOTS OF LINES!

How's everyone coming along with the stitch witchery (also known as fusible webbing)? Hopefully you can find them at your local fabric store. So far there has been only one entry! Looks like I'm going to have to up the ante...I'm adding a BIG wood mounted stamp to go along with the crackle paints!! The stamp image goes perfectly with the paints - very vintage. So get cracking! No pun intended...hahahaha!
