Inspiration Thursday.............A challenge!

Happy Thursday everyone! This has been a good week. I had fun looking for some inspiration and I found a good one over at http://mojomonday.blogspot.com Go check it out! They have great sketch this week.

Anyway, here is the card I came up with.

This is a 5x5 beige c/s base

layered with designer paper

with an off centered wide strip of designer paper

spellbinder nestabilities shapes for left side of card

a strip of ribbon at top right with a brad tag

and of course being a design team member of Craft-Dee Bowz, I couldn't finish this card without adding a beautiful bow made with the wonderful Craft-Dee Bowz bow maker. Click on the bow maker tool at the top left corner of this page and you will be able to purchase your very own. It's a wonderful tool. I never make a bow without it! http://craft-deebowz.blogspot.com 

Thank you all for stopping by. Have a great weekend! Hugs Brenda

On the Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh day of December..............

Well, I thought I would give you all a break and not post for a couple of days. Here are the items I created. I created a gift box and two different Christmas cards.

Enjoy the rest of your week and thanks for stopping by. Hugs Brenda

It's Time for Pumpkins, Black Cats and Spiders

Happy Sunday everyone! Today is the second day into Fall. I love this time of year, when it starts getting cooler, the chrysanthemums are blooming and the pumpkins are out. I actually want to be outside more, this time of year. So in saying that, I thought I would make a set of Handmade Halloween cards.

These cute Halloween cards were so simple, I'll have a ton of these done in no time!

Well, that's all I've got to say today. Thank you for stopping by and don't forget to Have Fun!

My desktop smash

 Hello everyone, I know it's been a few days since my last post, but I have really been busy. I have decided to post once a week for a few weeks, because we've bought some land and we are clearing it.We are going to build a small cottage and not have a lot of overhead so I can be an Independent Arts and Crafts Professional full-time. WooHoo! I'm so excited!

Now, on to what you really are here for. My post today is my Smash Book. I decided to do a Smash Book because of everything I'm trying to remember. Every name, telephone number, all of my passwords, all of the challenges I've entered, Challenges that I've won, in other words everything I need at my computer desk.

I really had fun putting this together. I hope you like it too? Most of all I want it to inspire you to make one too!

Thank you for stopping by. Hugs Brenda

Springtime Blossoms

It's Thursday and another week has come and gone since my last post. I have been enjoying this beautiful weather we've been having. The flowers are so pretty. The birds are singing a brand new song. They are thankful for another day. I also am thankful for another day of God's beauty.

Today I wanted to make a card that reflects my surroundings of the beauty and love that I feel and see.

I had the house all to myself, so I sat outside and had my coffee. I was thinking back when I was a child and how simple things were. My grandparents raised me in a small town just outside of Savannah Georgia. We didn't have much, but we had love and that's all that counts.


I guess the reason I shared this with you is, I want you to feel the love and see the beauty through this handmade card. This is truly a card made from my emotions. Thank you for letting me spill my guts a little. Lol! I hope this inspires you to think back to a beautiful time in your life. Hugs Brenda
