Hi there bloggers :)  So today is Wednesday and that means another Unity Challenge, this week Lisa was talking all kinds of mess that her husband can make the best card lol.  So a bunch of the girls are having their husbands/boyfriends whoever, make cards (hubby's challenge).  My husband is not going to make a card, (he has made cards for me in the past, but he isn't going to make one for fun lol).  Remember he is a Pilot in the military I would hate for him to make a card and someone in his squadron see it, next thing you know he has a crazy call sign lol, which would be my fault & then it would affect my craft spending & we don't want that to happen.  Anyhow, so for us who's significant other will not make a card, our challenge is to make a masculine card.   I like frilly girly stuff and yummy luscious ribbon & bows, so making a masculine card, is a challenge for me.  I think I did ok.  Right?  This is masculine right?  Now that I'm looking at it, the ...

I had family visiting this past week, all of you military folks out there know how special it is when you have visitors, because it doesn't happen often enough.  Anyhow, they left yesterday, so today I needed to make some thank you cards.  Some of the people who read my blog do not craft (crazy I know!) so today I am walking you through my thinking process when I make a card. So because I have to make more than one card, I am going to mass produce.  I went and got one 12x12 sheet of cardstock (bazzill) at the bottom cut off a 4x12 inch slice (then cut 4 inches off of it so its 4x8) Go back to the  sheet and its now a 12x8 inches, which will give you 3 more 4x8 inch pieces of paper.  Just so you are not lost, you should have 4 pieces of paper that are 4x8 inches and then an extra piece that is 4 inches square (put that in scrap pile)  Score the 4 sheets at 4 inches.  This will now give you 4, four inch square card bases.  Still with me? Now go and get your favorite background stamp ...

I have been feeling really inspired to create lately, I think its because I only buy what I love now & not stuff that is on sale or what seems to be a trend.  Don't get me wrong I love new stuff, I just know more about what I use and what I don't use and I kind of have stopped hoarding and I'm using up my stuff. (amazing I know lol) So this card I just love, I don't think I can ever mail it out.  Do any of you do that?  This card is the whole enchilada.  I stamped, sewed, used chipboard, covered the chipboard, slapped on some buttons, twine & lace, used some yummy Noteworthy paper & the result is one paperlicious card >" "Happiness" Noteworthy paper, Unity August kit of the month stamps, retired SU card stock, button, chipboard, lace, twine Before I made the card I made this chipboard tag, I'm thinking I will turn it into a magnet or put in on my bookshelf in my room or use it as a bookmark.  Who knows what I will do with it?  I like it...
