Thank you for everything, card



Happy Monday!

I am trying to have some craft time everyday to help me cope with anxiety and stress, not fun to have these as companions so I decided to play more and worry less ;). today I am here to share my entry for the Inspiration Challenge over at Altenew, (BTW they are having sneak peeks for the new release)



 I love the color combo Sveta chose, but must confess I am having difficulty mixing the colors to a pleasing array, it has taken me three tries to come up with one I like enough to share with you 😌, well I will be showing you trial #2 and trial #3 as #1 did not make the cut 😉 and I hope none of these ideas had been created before...


Trial #3: I stamped some flowers and "berries" in only two colors and added the pop of yellow using Faber Casttle Gelatos.


Trial #2, I created the background using FC's Gelatos and liked the CAS look enough, but then I hesitated and tried to "complete" the visual triangle and that is when I messed it up :( I think I should have used another element and not the butterfly, what do you think?

    I think you did a really good job! I find crafting very very therapeutic, it too me out of my depression which I thought was not possible.
    Thank you for taking part in the Altenew April Inspiration Challenge.
    Good luck!

Summer Fun Blog Hop, day 4

Hello friends, welcome to day 4 of our Summer Fun Blog Hop!                                 Don't you just love all the projects showcased this week? I am so lucky to be part of this fantastic hop I could not resist to keep on creating and today I want to share with you another Farm inspired project. This time I created a Piñata by recycling a box, using some scrap card stock, crepe paper, the fabulous eBosser, Xyron Corner Glue Stick, sticker maker and the X Tape Runner. I started by removing the flaps from the top of the box and then scoring two horizontal lines on the sides of it and a diagonal from the upper center point to the line on the sides. Cut slits on the corners all the way to the scored lines. Cut a small square on each side -just below the scored line-to run the rope thru them. Also, cut an opening on the back so you can fill it with goodies. Folded the new flaps inwards. Gl...
