My 2011 Goals Journal with Glass Flowers

Happy New Year Everyone,

Today I have a different type of project for you. Some of the ladies and I over at the Swirlydoos  site decided to create Journal to keep track of the goals we set this year. So I created this "Goals Journal" to track my progress.

One of my goals I set for myself, this year, is to try different techniques. Today I tried making Glass Flowers and using some distressing techniques. You can find the tutorial for the Glass Flowers here.

Here's a close up of the Glass Flowers.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I wish a Healthy, Happy, and Prosperous New Year to you and yours.

Have a Fabulous day, and I'll blog with you again soon.

Hugs,
Regina

Some Gatefold Christmas Cards

Hello My Fellow Bloggers,
Sorry I've been away for so long, but life has a way of interfering with crafting. To make a long story short, I'm still in Florida. I will most likely be here until the end of the school year. But that is just fine, I'm loving the Florida weather.

Okay, today I'm showing a couple of Christmas cards that I made for my DH and my MIL. I purchased some new toys, and I couldn't wait to play with them. The cards feature the Dec 2011 dies from Heartfelt Creations. They are quickly becoming my favorite, and I guess you can see why.

Here's my MIL's card.

Here's my DH's card.

The cards measure 4 1/2 x 7. You can find the video for making this card at the Heartfelt Creation blog here.  Once you see these dies, I'm sure you will want to purchase them.

Well that's all for me. I hope to be back with you again soon.

Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hugs,

Regina

WCMD 2011 Sketch Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Here are my cards.

 

These are 5 x 5 cards, I used a 5 x 6.5 card base that I cut down.  To create the smaller squares, I cut brown squares to 2 1/4 and pattern paper to 2 1/8. I inked all the edges and the doily with distress ink.

Make a Wish - Birthday Card

Hello Everyone,

I'm finally back. After packing and moving, I'm finally settled to the point where I can finally start crafting again. Boy, I really miss my toys.  Well, today I have a card that I made for my SIL using an older Mojo Monday sketch.

This is a 5 x 6.5 card. The strips were cut to 5 x 1.5 and attached together with a scrap piece of paper in the back. Trim the bottom with a Martha Stewart border punch and attached to the background paper.  Sentiment was stamped using a JustRite's stamp, punch out and attach to flower. Attach sentiment to card using foam squares. Pebbles were created using Epiphany Crafts punch.

Thank you for stopping by and I'll blog with you later.

Have a fabulous day,
Regina
