Mrs. G's Crafts: March 2010

Personal Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone! I have found a new project to provide inspiration for my card making. I have always enjoyed the Mojo Monday challenges and have recently found their file of all the 2009 sketches. I did not start this hobby until late in 2009 and did not discover in their challenges until 2010. I have decided to create my own personal challenge! I printed out the 2009 sketch book from their blog and am going to challenge myself to make a card for every sketch! These cards will be donated to different organizations such as "Send Love Today", "Packages from Home", local children's hospitals, cancer treatment facilities, and women's shelters. I also am participating in the Reader's Reach Out from CardMaker magazine. I had lost some inspiration and creativity these last few weeks while I have been so busy doing other things. I am now re-focused and will post pictures of my cards as I make them. Feel free to comment and let me know what you think! Thanks for all your support!

The birthday card!

This card is what popped into my head while making a different card. I love it so much I am entering it in the cute card thursday challenge! Check out their blog challenges at http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com

I just love spring!

This card was originally intended to start as a birthday card, but the more I worked on it and glued pieces together, the more it turned into a spring card....

Cricut Banner

I actually used the wild card cartridge and cut the doily card for this. I just cut each card in half at the score line so the every other piece had a ribbon through it.

I have graduated to the cricut world!!

This was my first try at a real Cricut card! It is definitely one of my favorites! I used the animal kingdom cartidge and cut the fish bowl to fit the card.

My first basic cards

These are just a few of the cards I made when I first started playing around with my scissors and ribbons..... Card making turns out to be much easier than I once thought...
