Hello Crafters!!
Nancy here continuing Jennifer’s challenge this month
of Polka Dots! Polka Dots are very near and dear
to my heart because my mother LOVED them!
So any time I see them, I think of her…and
what a great memory it is! <3 So I incorporated my
mom’s love for dots and “love” itself for my card!
What I have done here, is taken two pieces of ribbon and
glued them in behind the negative part of a heart
that I cut out using my Cricut. (make sure the ribbon is tight)
To give it some stability and so that you can’t see through it,
I adhered it to another piece of white cardstock to give it a backing.
Trimmed it out with some Pool Party and Basic black paper.
Added a MS heart border punch to a strip of black to add some interest.
The sentiment is from Close to My Heart.
And finally I took the sentiment and punched it out with a great
SU Modern label punch, and bordered it 2 more times.
This card was a lot of fun to create!
Here is a link to my personal blog if you want some more details!

Thanks for the great challenge Jennifer and…..

Have a great day!

August Challenge
Welcome to the August Challenge! I love doing these challenges – I send everyone random stuff, and they make crafting magic and create these amazing cards! This time our challenge was sponsored by Shawn of http://www.mycutsearch.com/ If you have a cricut & haven’t checked out her site, please go visit! You’ll be glad you did!
I had the pleasure of meeting Shawn in January at CHA (we were Facebook friends & this was our first real meeting).
This was definitely a challenge….. The product worked best when punched out using a punch!
I know you can’t wait to see the amazing projects:

Today, we’re sharing with you our “challenge” for this month with
Crafty Card Gallery design team.
For this challenge we we’re asked to focus on:
Polka dots! Inspired by a pedicure?
|
When this challenge was posted I knew I had to do something with ladybugs; they have dots! When you ask people what are some of your favorite things or what type of things do you collect as a hobby sometimes you will hear “ladybugs”.
I don’t collect ladybugs myself, I’ve just always liked them. I also liked this open window style of card.
More details about our card can be found on our blog at here.

Welcome to the sketch blog hop!
The purpose of the sketch blog hop is to show how different designers can take the same sketch and come up with totally different cards….
You’re in luck – you’re at the first stop in the hop!
So come along with us!
Here’s the sketch:
Here’s my card
It’s a slightly different take on the sketch with the embellishments being reversed of how the sketch is. It was a birthday card for mhubby (who loves Star Wars)
