since I posted. I was gone most of the last week in July to my brother's wedding in San Antonio. My mom and I took the train from Okla. City to San Antonio. It was a lot of fun and much less stressful than driving! When I returned home I realized that I only had one week left before going back to school, and my classroom wasn't ready. So this past week I spent most of my days at school. However, this weekend, especially today, I'm staying home and scrapping while watching the Olympics. Something you should know about me - I'm crazy about the Olympics. I have been ever since I watched that Miracle moment happen in hockey when I was only about 7 or 8. Anyway, I've spent most of the day glued to the TV, but I moved some of my scrap stuff into the living room since my family is at the lake again. Here are the cards I made today.
I used an old
Sketch-N-Scrap challenge to use groups of three as inspiration as well as a sketch I had saved on Pinterest. I used three banners and three rhinestones. The pattern paper was left over from a HOTP/Paper Wishes kit. I used the Christmas Cheer cricut cartridge for the holly leaves. The sentiment is a HOTP stamp.
My mom sells cards at her work, and she needed some sympathy cards. For this card I used a card from my Pinterest board. At first I was trying to find a pet in order to meet an old
FCCB challenge, but I don't think an owl is actually a pet. LOL For the owl I used the Create a Critter cartridge and more HOTP/Paper Wishes pattern paper. The sentiment was stamped using a CTMH stamp set.
I used the same pattern paper and stamp set for this card. I also used a sketch from
Retro Sketches. Even though I don't usually get a chance to make something for the challenges before the challenge is over, I still keep them so I have inspiration when I need it. Hopefully I'll have even more to share tomorrow.
