Embellish Owl + Colors

Posted on | November 5, 2009 | 25 Comments

NOTE: You still have time to play with M’s sketch AND to participate in the messiest room/desk contest. Come on, do the last at least, it’ll be fun and I have an awesome prize for it!

Isn’t that owl on the card cute? Got his from Embellish Magazine. There’s a color + owl challenge there and I just had to play. See the flowers hubby got me? Love how the sun hits it. Do you see my little owl feltie that I made a couple years ago? I’m going to be felting again here soon. Got to make some presents for this Christmas. That’s my goal at least, as always, we’ll see.

I also want to share some photos of M before school this a.m. Check out her drawing. Aren’t they great? She freehand them… they were pictures from a book. Oh, like our radio? It’s from 1958 and because it has a mono plug-in our mp3 players works on it. Awesome, huh? M’s clothes… I should have taken a whole body picture. I love her style. The hat and denim skirt came from the consignment store.

Alrighty, have a great one!

Freebie: Ornament + Embellish Circle Card

Posted on | October 18, 2009 | 12 Comments

Hey, hey, I’ve been BUSY and in a great way…crafting AND using my toys! Today I have a card using Ashley Newell’s challenge, #2, and it’s a circle card with the following colors: white, blue, green and brown. This is what I came up with ((All but the ribbon from PapertreyInk. Ribbon was found at an antique store, 20 yrds for $3 and still made in the USA)):

Pretty simple card and I used my Klik-N-Kut machine again. The ornament I made myself and again I am sharing the file (right click image and save as to save the jpeg file to your computer:

As I mentioned in the previous post, because it’s complimentary I am not going to save it to every die-cut extension. If you don’t see your format or your machine cannot import any of the files, download and install Inkscape and save as/export to the correct format yourself. I did try opening the DXF and KNK in my machine and they work.

Glad Ashley renewed the deadline so that I can play too. Had lots of fun doing this and it was also great to be able to use my machine AND create sharable files. Have a great one!
