Boo to you!

Some little trinkets for co-workers and friends. I haven't decided if I will be putting a treat into the 2nd pocket or not. We'll see! I love Halloween. ;)

Papertreyink October Blog Hop

 Goodmorning everyone! Just a quick blog post for my submission into this month's blog hop. 

The layout was inspired by one of Melissa Phillips' challenges on the PTI forums: Share Your Chevron. =)

Have a great day everyone!

I'm still here, haha!

Sorry for the long break, peeps! I have been spending my time finishing up Nursing School, and graduated on May 12th. I hope to take my boards soon in June/July. =) Craftywise I have been playing with Project Life and lovin' every minute of it! I will attempt to take some pictures soon; the glare from the page protectors is killer.

In the meantime, I have two cards to show today. May is the beginning of the "Birthday Season" in our family, so I will definitely be cranking out a few of those soon. Here is the first one, for my fiance, who is turning 26 tomorrow:

I CASE'd Michelle Wooderson's technique using a blank Project Life journaling card for the focal point, as well as the use of a Kelley Purkey PL frame stamp. I love the font that "birthday" is in from Think Big Favorites #12.



This next card (for my Father-in-Law's birthday on the 28th) I will probably use for the May Blog Hop, as it uses the color scheme and some of the patterns:

I loooooove how the stamping turned out! And the use of the numbers and stars really help with a fun, masculine feel. The pull tab is from the Movers and Shakers: Sliders dies, and reveals the phrase "it's a matter of making years count" stamped with a Simply Chartreuse star from Star Prints.

Anywho, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Thank you for stoppin' by. =)

Hugs,

Megan

Quick post. . .

I haven't abandoned my blog, I've just been super busy with finals! Sorry everyone. <3 I really appreciate each and every comment or view I receive though. Here it a quick post for you guys. Have an amazing day!

Hugs,

Megan

Make it Monday #52

Geeeewwwwd evening! the festivities are underway over at Papertrey Ink for their 5 year anniversary. I had a chance to incorporate a requested card with this week's Make It Monday: Double Sided Stamped Die Cuts.

I won't go too much into the details because I have to study for another exam tomorrow, but I had a ton of fun with this technique, and it can be as subtle or as striking as you make it. Enjoy your week and hope to see ya too!

Hugs!! =)

Megan

all you need is love! =)

Goodmorning! I just finished up another anniversary card that my family requested:

I feel like this is a very Dawn McVey type of layout (which is awesome because I love her style!) and I just loooooooove the fancy flourishes dies! I think, aside from Berry Sorbet, Autumn Rose is now my favorite pink-y color. I love the look of Rasberry Fizz and Hibiscus Burst, etc, but I just don't find myself reaching for them while creating. I used the woodgrain impression plate on the white card base, but it's a bit hard to see.

I have one more anniversary card left to make, so I think I'll try my hand on this week's MIM with Nicole! =) But for now, I'm off to study for a test I have on thursday. Have a wonderful day peeps! Happy crafting.

Huggles,

Megan

Do-Overs!

Having missed PTI's blog hop on the 25th, I was super excited to see Amber's Do-Over Blog Hop was still open! her work is truly gooooorrrggeeeoouuusss and ingenious to boot. I can relate to how she feels about being competitive with crafting; but what it really comes down to is just showing off what you created while doing something you love. =)

I am incredibly embarrassed to show my project, but I remember it was created with good intentions! hahaha. The colors, smudging, and layout just now make me go 'ugh!'. But thanks to Amber, I can redeem myself a whee bit. :D

I carried over the use of Fancy Flourishes, as well as the generalized layout (sentiment on the left, image focus on the right, etc). And I am SUPER excited to show it off! I just love these stamps so much!

Don't forget to check out the other awesome projects submitted at Amber's Blog! Happy Weekend and Happy Crafting! =)

Luvvles,

Megan
