A New Wedding Card

Here is another card I made today, this time using a

wedding stamp that I bought in a craft shop in Barcelona.

I embossed white paper with the Cuttlebug embossing folder

Swiss Dots and used my Scor-Buddy to emboss a couple of

lines around the white paper (still getting used to using the S-B). 

I stamped the 'happy couple' onto white paper and then used my

Nestabilities Scalloped Circle around the image. I then went

around the edges with ink. I paper pierced part of the bride's

dress and then cut out three hearts in the same colour as the dress,

using the same colour to stamp a compliment.  I added lace the

length of the card behind the image.

CDAC Progressive Challenge #3

Came back yesterday from a few days in Barcelona - great city
to visit.  Did a lot of sightseeing that at the end of each day I
could hardly walk!  Had an overnight flight back home to
Israel, and that of course, meant I would be tired all of
yesterday. At least last night I made up for it by sleeping
over ten hours.  Couldn't wait to get back to my crafting.

The image I chose for the challenge  is called 'Swallowtail &
Sunflower' by Just Inklined. 

I am always trying out new things so for this card decided to
see what it would look like by just colouring part of the picture
and then putting the image against a dark background.
I used my Nestabilites Lacey Ovales to cut out the image and then
went around the outer semi circles with ink and put ribbon through
them.  I cut out another butterfly and put it over the original one to
make it 'pop'.  For the background I used a Cuttlebug embossing
folder on black card, I then sandpapered a little and then went
over the card with ink.  The card was finished with Dot Sparkler
Stickers from Stampendous. 

Hila is One Year Old!

This is the card I made for my youngest granddaughter, who will
be one year old next week.  How the time flies.  She is now up
and walking, so has to be watched all the time.  I asked my
daughter - Hila's mother, what subject to use on the card and
she said 'animals' so this is what I came up with having animals
as the theme.  I googled 'animal clipart' to get the images.

This is the first gate card I have made and I think it came out
quite nicely.  I did just a little paper piercing and added a
little embellishing.

CDAC Progressive Challenge #2

Here I used the lovely image Mum & Sons by Ellephantistic
for the second CDAC Progressive Challenge.
I used Nestabilities Labels Eight, and Patterned Paper from
DCWV. The dot sparkler stickers are from Stampendous.
The sentiment I dry embossed.

Crafty Karens - Wedding Decoupage

Here is a card that I made using Karen's lovely decoupage.
I used Nestabilities Scalloped Circle, and Cuttlebug
embossing folder.

Help Required For Fellow Crafter

This request I received from a crafter at CDAC.  Keren really does very

nice work - go visit her blog via Wendy's blog.

Hello Ladies, I have someone that I not only need you to pray for, but I'm hoping you would be willing to try and help out.  I'm sure that a lot of you know Karen, or better known as Krafty Karen. Well she is having a really hard time right now medically. She has major problems in her spine that causes her to have non stop excruciating pain. If you go to this blog it explains, in her own words, what is happening to her and what this lady, Wendy, is trying to do to help her. So what I am asking you to do is 1) go to Wendy's blog and see what she has to say 2) if you are able to help out with her fund raiser (she is trying to get people to buy kits that Karen has designed...and they are only $1.50 USD), please do 3) Please spread the word of this to others so that she can get as much help as possible and 4) Please pray for her that she gets the help that she so desperately needs.

There are so many of us out there and what Wendy is asking is not out of the realm of possibility. If we each told our friends about this and if we each bought one kit, imagine how much good we could do for this wonderful lady. Thank you all so much in advance.
