Happy birthday!

Today is my mother in laws birthday :) So I whipped up this fun little card to honor the occassion. It seems these days I dont do much scrapbooking, mostly cards for birthdays and the smiley team, however I am beginning to prep for an upcomming craft show, more on that on friday. Crafty friends do you have some card bases done ahead of time for when you need a quick card? Make sure you come back on friday to hear more about the craft show, but for now enjoy the birthday card below....have a crafty day :)

World Card Making Day

Earlier this month was world card making day. Several companies and stores host card making day or run contests. The smikey team decided to focus on Santa cards this year. What about you muly crafty friends, did you participate in world card making day? I did, you can see mine below!

Halloween challenge 10

We did it! We made it to the last Smiley tour Halloween challenge!  Challenge #10 was my favorite challenge as it was anything goes. So if it was Halloween related but didn't quite fit in any of the other challenges it ended up here. I ended up creating 13 cards for this one, which seems fitting since it was for Halloween :) Well my crafty friends, if you had free reign to make Halloween cards, what would you create?

Halloween challenge 9

Spooky but not scary tree is challenge number 9 for the smiley team. This Challenge forced me to try and strike a balence between fall and Halloween. Keeping in mindvthat these cards are for kids I tried to take a less scary approach.  Have a crafty day my friends :)

Halloween challenge 8

Its the great pumpkin Charlie Brown! Challenge 8 is all about pumpkins. Speaking of pumpkins have you carved yours yet? If so what did you carve, and if not when do you plan on carving them? We have yet to carve ours, probably won't until the week of Halloween.  As for ideas, I'm off to pinterest to find some of those. Where do you find your pumpkin ideas my crafty friends?

Halloween challenge 7

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians! I'm enjoying the holiday from the comfort of my bed aka I'm sick :( thankfully I can still blog from my phone   :p The smiley teams Halloween tour is almost done, as today we move on to challenge 7! Theme for today is spooky not scary ghosts. If your following along, keep up the good work my crafty friends :)

Halloween challenge 6

Its a pirates life for me! This challenge is about pirates as you may have guessed. I was stumped at first but once i got into the pirate theme I ended up making more than I thought :) are there certain themes  that your more comfortable crafting?  What would you do if you were asked to create something out of your comfort zone, would you go for it? Although I find it challenging I love that it helps me think of things I may not have otherwise. I challenge you to challenge yourself! Have at it my crafty friends!
