Cut it OUT!

Hey Crafters! So here's my own interpretation for the Greeting Farm's Farm Fresh Friday "Cut it OUT!" challenge...

Greeting Farm - Sitting Wonderful

The first thing that pops up in my mind when I hear these three words is one of my favorite shows called "Full House". I was not born yet when the show first aired but I loved watching the re-runs. It's a show that makes you happy to see how an extended family (with Danny, Uncle Joey, Uncle Jess and all the adorable Tanner girls) live together in a crazy yet very loving home.

This "just because" card will also be my entry to Loves Rubber Stamps challenge "Black, White & Sepia". I usually find it hard to create my projects in just black and white so I added pops of color through the stamp image from TGF called Sitting Wonderful.

Materials used:
* TGF - Sitting Wonderful (stamp image)
* Michaels - Recollections cardstock (card base)
* Michaels - Recollections "Bright and Basic cardstock paper" (background paper)
* scissors image from Microsoft Word clip art
* Crayola Pencils (to color image)
* Baby Oil (to color image)
* Loew Cornell - blending stumps (to color image)
* Tsukineko - memento "tuxedo black"
* Tonic Studios (round corner chomper)
* Sakura Gelly Roll (white gel pen)
* Dollar Store (letter stickers)
* Dabtastic (glue pen)
* Dollarama (3d pop dots)

Let It Snow!

Hey Crafters! I hope that everyone's having a fantastic week so far. I have not been able to do much crafting for these past few days but I am getting back on it.

I recently found out that one of the Halloween projects that I made for my Mom was chosen as one of the Design Team Favorites at Loves Rubber Stamps Challenge. I am truly honored for being chosen because there's a lot (I mean a looooottt) of very talented crafters that I see through joining different blog challenges. For one of my projects to be chosen from all of these work of art/craft, I am really appreciative. Thank you so much to Laura and to all the Loves Rubber Stamps Design Team!

I always go to YouTube to catch a glimpse of the creativity of talented people from the crafty world. However, since I found out about the world of "blog challenges" another world of creativity and pure talent opened in front of my eyes. That's why I truly enjoy and love joining different challenges so that I can admire the works of people who are interested in crafts like myself. 

Today, I would like to share a simple card that I made for the upcoming Christmas holiday...
