This 3rd card was inspired by Andrea Walford. I CASEd this card and loved how it turned out.
Well I finally managed to take part in a challenge. The last one was in... May!?!?!? As you can tell, I'm still a bit rusty. Here's my attempt at Mojo Monday 116.
So I had my little mini stamp a stack yesterday and it turned out great! The cards weren't too labor intensive and it only took about 2 1/2 hours. Not too shabby for 10 cards! Here's the second card we did. We used the Big Shot embossing folder and the Top Note die with some popping pastels for this card. Hopefully the pictures I post get better and better because I'm really fiddling with my camera settings. This picture was taken with white balance adjustments. Instead of selecting incandescent light bulb, I chose a preset white balance and had taken a picture with a crazy increase in white balance so the white background I took was almost the perfect bright white I wanted. Then I just tweaked it down a couple notices on the preset white balance so I didn't have a super washed out photo. Let me know if you have any other tips for me!
Man I just spent the last 30 minutes trying to take a good photo and let me tell you... It's flippin' hard. Jamie bought me this fancy dancy camera that I have no idea how to use. I'm trying to play with the white balance and even then, it's just not working!! Grrr. Here's 2 photos with different settings. Notice any difference? So here's a card that I'll be doing at my very first stamp a stack! I'm excited! It's a uber small group but I'm glad because I've never done a stamp a stack and it's much easier to manage with less people (at least that's what I hope!) Hope everyone has a good weekend! Mine will be filled with card making and snow shoveling!
I participated in this year's Alberta Street Team gift exchange on Etsy. We got a random member and got a little info on that person and had to make a gift worth approximately $15. I really didn't know what to make so I decided to do nothing other than more paper crafting! This is the first time I've made a full on recipe box and I quite enjoyed it! Now the info that I got on my secret santa was that she was very environmentally conscious and also liked royal purple, vintage buttons and wooden things. So those are the things I tried to incorporate.
Another fellow Alberta Street Team member picked me to be a part of their treasury. Check out some great Alberta made crafts here!
Wow. Can you believe I haven't participated in a card challenge since MAY!?!?!? I know.. I'm a little shocked myself!!! Of course I'm back to my old habits of posting late at night. This will be a short post since I have to work tomorrow. I combined mojo monday and color throwdown (some of my old time favorites!) This card was made for my friends Annette and John's housewarming party tonight. 
Boy oh boy, have I been totally slacking and NOT making any cards!! It's been tough finding time. With the whole flu season on us and all this immunizing, I've been soooo tired after work. Just wanna crawl into bed and go to sleep!
Anyways on Etsy, an Alberta Street Team member made up another treasury. It's a list of items with a certain theme with fellow Albertan crafters. Check it out HERE!
