#26 - spring tag

This weeks' challenge at Anything But A Card is to do a project to do with spring or easter...I am in the midst of moving this week...so busy....but hopefully this tag is springy enough to qualify for the challenge....play along this week, won't you?

#23 - little leprechaun

This week's challenge at Anything But A Card is to do St. Patty's day projects...I made some of these cute little magnets last year and they were such a hit, I whipped up a few more for this year too...they brighten up a dull workspace well!

#19 - very superstitious

This weeks challenge at Anything But a Card is to do something superstitious, with the number 13, to do with gambling, luck etc or 13 embellishments.....after a long week of trying, unsuccessfully, to buy a new house (the address was 132, we put our offer in on 13 2 13) and tried to close on Valentine's day to no success, what could be more appropriate than a superstition challenge??? Thought I would try something with a positive result - our winning race at the local racetrack ( we won a whopping $8 on our $2 bet - my girls were jumping for joy)....hoping that good mojo work for us when we try again next week to buy the same house!!! Needing all the good karma I can get, cuz this house is fabulous!
I used the Sketch from Artful Delight for their monthly challenge....it made this page come together so quickly!  I love sketches!

#12 - valentine's page

The challenge this week at Anything but A Card is to do something to do with love, valentines, anniversary, red, hearts etc....We had this picture taken on our cruise to Alaska last summer and I thought it would be a good idea to get the page finished with this challenge...we are not the mushy gushy hearts and lovey kind of people...but I had this kit that had some heartish paper in it and all valentinesy type embellies and my goal this year is to finish off all the kit bits I have purchased, so I dove in and did a mushy gushy page...loving all the gems and pins and stuff though...that part is fun...so why not crack out your supplies and join us this week?

#8 Ribbon and fibres

This week's challenge at Anything But a Card is to use ribbons, twine, fibres etc...I use lots on this page but they kind of blend in...there is some grey pleats on the left next to some white chain cord...on the top there is some yellow ribbon embroidered with grey floss...on the right there is some shiny grey ribbon under the letters and at the bottom there is some fuzzy ric rac and yellow with white bakers twine...there is also some tulle under the pins and the flowers...I used the sketch from Artful Delight this month to do this page.  Hope you like it and play along....the supplies are all from a kit at my LSS that I had left over after using the ones I really liked...Not too fond of this line, but my goal is to use up the old before starting the new...and not to have any leftovers behind, so it forced me to play with it and think outside the box...I like the results though!

#2 - Things with wings

This week's challenge at Anything But A Card is "Things with wings"....I took the challenge a little abstractly and thought I would do a page for my daughter's broken arm (it happened in the spring and it is healing nicely...still no trampoline for a few more months, but otherwise it is completely fixed)....I threw in some butterflies to complete the wing part of the challenge just in case I didn't have enough wingy type things....even one of the butterflies has a broken wing...just for fun...why don't you play along with us...it is a new year, after all??
