OBG Blog Hop - September 2011

Hi all!  It has been sooo long since I posted!  I am getting settled in my new hiome but many of my supplies are still packed away.

Anyways, you know the rules... create a card, scrapbook page, or other paper crafting item utilizing at least one item from your supplies that you have not used for 6 months or more.

If you got here from Chin's blog you are on the right track!  You can start at the beginning here.

This card I made with one of my oldest Gorjuss Girls stamps.  I just love them!  The paper is from a secret sister swap I did several years ago.  All in all I quite love this card.  I think it is a great all occasion and the colors set if off nicely.

Thanks for coming by and as always I would love your feedback!  You can continue hopping along to Cindy's blog and enjoy more of the OBG hoppers creations!

Take care and I promise I will see you soon!


 

Well, this is the last of the cards I had made at my sister's house. I wanted to play around with black and white. I always love how these turn out. They just seem to have an air of sophistication to them. She also has this set which I love. I love that she has the same tastes as I do in stamps a lot of the time as that way I can just use some of hers too... :)

Thanks for dropping in and have a great day! As always I would love to know what you think!

Getting back to it! :)

I just can't believe how fast time goes! Luckily I am done with all the kids activities for the summer and can get in a bit more me time! This card is one I made at my sisters house last month. I love going to someone elses and creating with their goodies! It forces me to get out of my comfort zone and create something completely different!

This card I used some great paper she had and paired it with some raspberry paper. I added the scalloped satin ribbon and a few funky polka dot fabric brads. I don't have either of these stamp sets so having the chance to play was so fun!

Thanks so much for coming by! I know I have been away an awful lot, but I am working on getting back into my blogging mode! Take care!

It's Time Again for Another OBG Blog Hop!!

Oh how I have been neglecting my beloved blog! I am so sorry! On a good note, though it is time again for our Oldies but Goodies blog hop!!! This is our monthly hop I do with my Design Divas blog group. The challenge is to create a project using some item you have had for over 6 months. You should have come here from Barbara's blog and the whole hop starts off at Mary's blog.

This project I have today is a card I made for my SIL. It was her Birthday this past week. I always like to make her a special card. I think the only new item is the stamp set from SU! I believe it is the breast cancer set. I used it for the flourishes on the top and bottom. The acetate I got when one of our old offices years ago moved and they were going to toss it. I snagged it thinking it would come in handy one day. The leaves are from a retired SU! set called Natural Beauty. The butterfly charm was something I picked up on clearance thinking it would come in handy sometime, and it worked perfectly! My SIL loved the card and told me she always saves my birthday cards I have made her. I love hearing that because it makes the little things we do worthwhile when someone acknowledges them!

So thanks so much for stopping by today! Your next stop is going to be Sharri's blog, where I am sure she will have a great project to showcase for you!! As always I would love to hear any feedback you have!

OBG Divas Blog Hop!

Hi all! It's time once again for the DIVA's monthly Oldies but Goodies blog hop! The idea is to use items from your supplies that you have had for at least six months. If you came here from Karen's blog you are on the right track!

I am using a pad of DP I found in my stash and a stamp set I got eons ago from Michaels I believe. The pearls are from Stampin Up! as well as the organza ribbon. I used the scallop punch for the edge. I have a couple of co-workers expecting girls this year and I am getting a jump start on cards for the baby boom coming! :)

Now you get to head off to see what Linda has for you on her blog.

Thanks so much for popping by and as always I would love to know what you think! Take care and see you soon!

I am sorry for not having any updates lately then sporadic ones when I do. I have been busy with the kids activities and a bunch of personal stuff going on with me right now, but I promise not to neglect my beloved blog forever! This past weekend I went to my sister's house for a bit and played in her craft room. I love going where you have completely different things to use! I ended up making 3 cards and I am going to put them into 3 posts this week...

The first one I picked some DP I liked and played with the eboss and cut folder from SU to make some embossed butterfly cutouts to put on the front. I also used some white rub ons. I made it for my Mom for Mother's Day. I can't wait to give it to her!

Thanks so much for popping in. Take care and see you soon!

OBG Diva's Blog Hop

Hi all! Welcome to the monthly OBG hop! If you came from Vickis blog (www.bountifulblessings2u.blogspot.com) you are on the right track! Once you move on you will head off to Melissa at her blog (http://www.inkclinations.blogspot.com/).

The rules were simple:

Use anything on your card that is at least 6 months old. I used a retired SU set watercolor minis. I just love this set! I also used some older primas I had. I used the faux stitching technique on it also.

Thanks so much for coming by today! I love feedback so please take time to leave some. I will see you all soon!
