Whatever

It's time for another fun card and I found the perfect digi....alas, it was a while ago and that's why I'm posting it for Simply Create Too's challenge no. 73, Shop in Your Craft Room, open now. Go join the fun.

I found this free digi and didn't take down the info about a month ago. It takes me forever to figure how to reduce/manipulate digis on my Mac so she sat smiling at me for weeks. Finally, I got her right and colored her up giving using lots of fun papers, flowers, and butterflies. The sentiment is a Studio G one word image that I sampled onto a word bubble. I felt it was perfect as I'm often accussed by friends and family of hiding out in my craft room far too often. What can I say? It brings me pure joy.



There is a RS Event in the next town over from me this weekend. I'm trying very hard to talk myself out of going, but I don't think I'm succeeding, so look for a haul photo early next week. GROAN!

Blessings,
Erica

Simply Create Too DT Submission for Challenge #72

Hi Stampers,

We don't celebrate Halloween in my home, but I don't think a little treat bag posted on my blog counts as a celebration. It's just an idea for the holiday, right....OK, humor me will ya'?


I created my bag using a tutorial on the Tube and added a few embellies. No need to buy a sentiment or the paper as they were both included in sets with other sentiments. and dsp. This bag can hold quite a few treats in it.

So play along with our challenge no. 74, "Halloween/Use Orange." Just have some fun before we head into my absolute fave holiday....THANKSGIVING!

Blessings,
Erica

The Popular Block Card

Hi Stampers,

Have you had a chance to check out the block card tutorials on YouTube? They look difficult and pack a big WOW factor, but they are quite easy to make. I think I'll be creating lots of these.




There are several tutorials to choose from. One I particularly like is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkK9r2taoms. This is from Dawn 5377. She is a regular on YouTube and an SU demo. I actually first saw a tutorial by Papercrafter45 on YouTube and many of her samples can be found on Pinterest here http://www.pinterest.com/papercrafter...
earlier this year. It's got so many possibilities.
I hope you will give this card a try.

Blessings,
Erica
