Hello, crafty friends! Today begins a new monthly challenge over at the Papercraft Business Challenge Blog!Our theme for this month is....UP IN THE AIR! What a fun thing to work on! Before you read on, check to see if you were a winner for last month's challenge over at the Papercraft Blog! Here is the prize for this month's challenge:
What great projects you could make with this one! Now on to my project:
For this challenge, I decided to go with a tag. I already had in my stash some Julie Netting product, which included a wooden doll with a kite. I should have taken a before picture of it, but I forgot. So I've linked it to the Prima website HERE. This is the tag I made:
For the tag base, I used some of the pre-cut tags from Julie Nutting. I got out my Distress Oxide Inks...LOVE them...and added various colors. I then got out my wooden doll and kite and colored them with my Spectrum Noir color markers. With that done, I added some stamps and embellishments. Instead of adding lace at the bottom, I just used a floral acrylic stamp. And she was done! Easy peasy, right? (Although the ink seemed to bleed a little, it ended up better than I thought it would.)
I hope that you will join us for the July challenge! Up in the Air could mean anything....a kite, a butterfly, a plane, etc....You choose and show us what you created! Thank you for stopping by!

Wow! Three chances to win! For my project, I chose Penelope 3 from Oddball Art. I love the Polka Dots/Stripes Theme! I chose to use both for my card. Here she is:
Isn't she a cutie?? After coloring her with my Spectrum Noir markers, I layered her on top of the designer papers: polka dots and stripes. Then I added a sentiment at the top as a banner. It's really a CAS card, as once it was colored, it was pretty simple to put together. But I really like it! I hope that it inspires you to join in on the challenge!!
Thank you so much for stopping by! I can't wait to see what you create!
This week Cara has chosen a three colour palette with an optional twist of adding a bird.
I love this color board! And I love peacocks! We were given a beautiful peacock image called Pretty Peacocks.Since I love peacocks, this was a fun image to do! Here it is:
All the papers that I used came from Paper Temptress. I used my Prismacolors on this image. It took me a little time to do it, but it was well worth it!
I hope that you will join us in on the challenge! You have 2 weeks, so hopefully you'll get a chance to enter. And thank you so much for stopping by!

This is the Top of the Book Box
Here is an angled view of one side
Here it is opened
I really enjoyed making this Hidden Compartment Book Box. I used a tutorial from Lori Whitlock (link to that tutorial is in the YouTube video description box).
BASIC INSTRUCTIONS
First off, let me say that to get the full details of this box, you will find them in the tutorial.
1. Cut out all the SVG files for the box
2. Adhere all pieces together, making sure you score all score lines tightly (TIP: Use liquid glue, as it gives you allowance to move the pieces if necessary).
3. Add the mounting papers onto the individual pieces (book cover, binding, etc.) For the side edges of the box where it's the "pages", I used corrugated paper to give it more of a pages look.
4. After assembling the box and adding the decorative papers, decorate! I had a lot of fun decorating. My favorite part!
There you have it! I hope that you will join us for this month's fun challenge!

Now that we have the Guidelines down, let's go on to my project! I wanted to do something a little bit different, so I decided I'd go ahead and make some Wall Art for my craft studio. I've always wanted to go to Paris, but never did and probably never will. While we were stationed in Germany, my husband got to go with his co-workers (spouses weren't invited...insert sad face here!). So this is "next best thing", Lol! Here it is:
Isn't it a beautiful kit?? Those colors match my craft studio perfectly!! Lots of Mod Podge on this one, and lots of gorgeous papers!!
Hello, everyone! And welcome to this fortnight of challenges....#193 in fact! The theme for this challenge is: You're the Man (In honor of Father's Day, make a masculine card)
So here we are, #193 challenge...getting closer and closer to #200!! Wow! I can hardly believe it! So for this challenge, we're making it masculine. I got the image Vintage Ridefrom LeAnn's World 101. And I really had fun with it!
Instead of making a typical card for Father's Day, I decided to do a bit of wall art for my honey. I made a mixed media background, and placed my car right into the center. Here is my project:
I think he deserves a little something different now and then. He's always been such a big support to my art habit!
I hope that this will inspire you to join in on this challenge! Let's see what you create!
Hello crafters! Today The Outlawzbegan a new fortnight Color Challenge! And I must admit...I LOVE the challenge! (insert *wink wink* here.....cause I chose the challenge!! hahaha.) I really had a great time with it! But before we go on, here is our amazing sponsor for the month of June:
I've enlarged the photo so you could see the colors better. Isn't she beautiful?? And I love the colors! Now here is my card:
I did this card a little differently than I normally have done in the past. I wanted to use as many of the colors as possible in the inspiration, so I took some Deco Foil and heated it onto my card foundation, then I added a strip of glitter Washi tape in the middle, adding some embellishments on the card with a sentiment. The ballerina is from Imagine That; She was a silhouette that I also foiled and added a "tutu" on her with an embellishment for her "belt". I love the way she turned out!
I hope that you will join us for this challenge! Most of all, have fun with it!! Thanks for stopping by!
