CCCC & Wacky Wednesday come together...

Heeeey There My Friends,
I Did It! I got one more post in before calling it a night. That should be some type of record or something. I have an early morning tomorrow that's going to require a long drive and a long, long waiting time. I hate those kinds of appointments. I hope this doesn't take up most of my day, but at least I know I was able to get some crafting in to make up for it...lol. This week Meriah over at Tattered Time is hosting this week's CCCC (she and Paula w/More Than Favors alternate weeks). The cartridge chosen for this week was "Gypsy Wanderings", well it's actually not a physical cartridge, but for those of you that own the Gypsy this was one of the pre-installed carts that came with it. Since it may be hard for you to find. I'll point out the cut I did from Gypsy Wandering. It's the "bling shoe"; yep that's right, only 1 cut. That's it...well truth be told, I had cut out the pair, but some where in my craft area one of the shoes got missing and I looked and looked and could not find it anywhere. I hate when that happens. **sn: (it could also be due to the huge mess on my desk from all the crafting I've been doing)**. Anyhew I refused to set up the machine again for cutting out just one shoe so... I Improvised. Hence, the other mini punch shoes instead. This however worked in my favor because Paula at More Than Favors has a weekly Wacky Wednesday Challenge which this week is a Sketch Challenge (see below). It must have been part of that other shoe's plan to help me maximize on my crafting. I'm still a little perturbed I can't find it, but oh well my project is finished now. Take it or Leave It! Go on over and check out these Fabulous Ladies Blog's and join in on the challenges. They are sooo much Fun!

It's Design Team Day @ "Inking It Up Crazy"

Hello Friends,
It's Design Team Day over at "Inking It Up Crazy". We were asked to do a "Home Decor" project. I must admit that I had a little struggle with this one. I knew what I wanted to do in my head, but when it came to execution, well... let's just say I had "Designer's Block". I was stuck, stumped, stiff... I knew it needed something else but I couldn't figure out what. Luckily with the help and inspiration of others and sleeping on it over night. I got up with an Ahh Haaa moment. We've all had these I'm sure. Anyhew what you see below is my much better designed "Home Decor" project. I won't dare show you my before and after pictures that would awful. I might even loose a follower or two if I did...lol. I do know now that I need to do more crafting Home Decor projects... for some reason I've lost a little mojo in that area. I created this project for our family home. I love the Fall Season and all the colors it has to offer. I love decorating our house in those colors too. It makes everything feel nice & cozy. The project is going to be our Family Frame Picture. I'm going to frame it and put it on the wall with our Family Wall Photos. It will blend nicely because there are different colored frames on the wall that all blend with this "Family Frame". I absolutely LOVE IT! and I hope you do too.
The inspiration behind this idea came from a very talented lady in her own right, that I'm sure most of you all know. Tammy Skinner over at "Creative Crittersz". Check out her video on the Home Decor project she did.
Don't forget to Check Out the Design Team over at Inking It Up Crazy to see what the rest of they came up with. You're sure to be impressed. Don't forget to leave them some Love Comments. Enjoy your day. Smooches...
