I CASE'd this card from one of my favorite blogs.  You can see the inspiration here.

More Wrapping Cards

Getting to Create Again

I have spent the last few days pulling up carpet in my craft room from flooding and rearranging it so I could be creative again.  After I returned from convention, I had to go back to work the next day and have only done projects for school.   This is one I did for my Principal's boss.  I work at Paris Elementary.

Tonight I created some Holiday cards using our papers and stamps, but the main pieces are from wrapping paper.  This was a challenge from my niece.  She wrapped my gift last year in this paper and I just loved the non-traditional colors. 

Still working on getting colors right.  This is actually Tulip and Lagoon

This one is Pear, Sky and Black.  As you can see I was trying to pull the colors out of the Dove.

This one is Sky and Lagoon.

Convention Bound

Well, I am leaving in a few hours for my very first CTMH convention.  I have been doing this for nine years and have never been able to attend.  I am excited and apprehensive at the same time.  I am, hopefully, going to meet some of the wonderful consultants I follow online.  It is at the Disneyland Hotel and I get to go with two great friends.  One, you may follow, Marie Isom and my good friend and upline, Peggy.  It will be four days packed with fun and lots of creating.  

So here is what I made to trade.  It was hard to come up with ideas after not crafting for so long, but alas my handy dandy "Wishes" book from CTMH came to the rescue.  I love these idea books as well as our Idea book and catalog.

You can't see very well,, as I am still learning how to take good pictures, but there is a small rhinestone in the flower center and a bow around the flowers.

This one is hard to tell colors.  I really got out of my box.  I had fun using our spray pens and painting the flowers Sunset and Smoothie.  The green is Pear and the brown is Chocloate.

Too Long In between Crafting

I have not been able to be in my craft room to actually craft for months.  It was hard to get my creative juices flowing.  I needed Thank you notes, so here is what I came up with.  Hope you enjoy the simplicity.
