Heart of My Friend

Hi this is Alli.  I made this card for the Freshly Made Sketches and Never Before Used Schtuff.  For the NBUS I used the heart which was sitting in my Aunts drawer for a few years. This is the sketch:

I'm posting on my Aunt's blog for now, but I hope to get my own blog soon.  Thank you for stopping by. 

So here is my card. 

FMS part two... Alli's Submission

This card was made by my niece Alli who came by this weekend to make her dad (my brother) a birthday card and a Father's Day card. 

She used the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge 140 as the layout for the FDC. 

Alli is 11 years old and these are 100% her creations.  I have no doubt that I'll be taking hints from her in no time at all. :)

 

 

 

Freshly Made Sketches

I've been away from my craft room for so long I've had a hard time getting any kind of mojo going.  So this weekend I sat down and jumped from blog to blog to see what challenges were out there and landed on a blog called Freshly Made Sketches.  The sketch was CAS and I knew right away what I wanted to make. 

My 11 year old niece Alli came by today and we each made a card for this challenge.  I have created a separate post for her submission so the links will take. 

This is my submission ........

This didn't turn out exactly how I envisioned it, but I like it just the same.  I went over the flowers and leaves with Wink of Stella to give it some sparkle.  I think it needs pearls or sequins.  I may play around with that later.

Thank you for stopping by and please take a look at Alli's wonderful creations.  She is rockin' the CAS.

My New Stamping Buddy

I wanted to introduce a new stamping buddy of mine.  Her name is Alli, she is my 11 year old niece and she has recently taken up the craft of stamping. 

My brother and his family moved to north Texas last May and I am sad to say, until that time I had very little contact with my nephew and niece.  However after leaving the corporate environment in late September I have been able to "get to know" my family and it has been a wonderful experience and blessing. 

Alli and I have discovered that we both like crafting so recently we have spent a couple Saturdays playing in my long ignored craft room.  Her first card ever was the lovely creation above which she gave to me.  It was a thank you for letting her come over and play.  Believe me, I cried when I read her words. 

She did up two very beautiful cards for her mom and grandma for Mother's day the Saturday before the made-up holiday but we ran late that day so in our mad scramble to get her home I forgot to take pictures.  Both cards were beautiful and I have no doubt that in very little time she will be showing me how it's really done.  LOL 

0ur plan is for Alli to come by one day a month so we can bond and make cards, so hopefully we can dust off my supplies and start posting more. 

Thanks for stopping by .....
