Mirror Mondays

You see projects and think, I love that and gotta try it. But how many times do we actually follow through? So today and every Mondays here on out, will be replicas of cards or projects that I LOVE and want/need to replicate for my own.

Today's inspiration comes from the Holiday Mini Catalog on page 6 and from a fellow demonstrator, Patty Bennett. I took what I saw and melded them together. Medallions or Lollies, whatever you want to call them, are addicting! I just want to plaster them to every project. It adds quite a lot of dimension and appeal to any project. I'm thinking I may need to make some Christmas wreaths but for Thanksgiving, this is what I made:

{Project Details}
Stamp: none
Ink: none
Paper: Spice Cake Designer Series Paper
Accessories: Wire Wreath Ring (not SU), Simply Scored, Big Shot, Blossom Flower Die, 1-1/4" Wide Soft Suede Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Spice Cake Buttons, Antique Brads, and Hot Glue (lots of it).

Thanksgiving Give-away

In September, my fearless leader for the Ronald McDonald House Charity lost her fight with cancer. Karen Moody was such a wonderful, sweet, generous, and very creative person. I feel blessed to have known her and if it weren't for Stampin' Up!, I would have never had the chance to meet her. I'm thankful for the friends I have met and will continue to meet through our creativity. As the holidays draw near, I think of her quite often because it was during these times that we were working and creating gifts to send over to the children and families staying at the Orange County RMH together.

Karen was the first person to introduce me to Bunco. She also taught me how to create many, many fun things that I have shared in the past. She even had the patience to correct my mistakes and fix some of my projects that got bumps and bruises as they found their way to her by mail. She also connected me to a great charity, the Ronald McDonald House, and many other demonstrators but most of all, she was a friend.

From this experience with Karen, I've learned:

life is truly short. 

To appreciate the little things and take the time to enjoy what is now.

My faith also becomes stronger and feel blessed and comforted that I have a God and a heaven to look forward to. 

And in honor of her, I'd like to host a blog giveaway.

 

Sweet Stitches Fabric, Coordinating Buttons, & Exclusive Stampin' Up! Reusable Tote.

To be entered into this random drawing, please leave me a comment and since it is Thanksgiving, something you're thankful for wouldn't be bad either. Let's say you've got until this Sunday, November 27th to enter.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Harajuku Punch Art Card

If you know Gwen Stefani, you know the line that she has...Harajuku Lovers: a fun, hip, and whimsical line!

I decided to take one of her Harajuku girls and make it my inspiration for a punch art card swap.

Using the 3/4" Circle, Owl, Wide Oval, and Word Window Punches, I was able to create the girl.

The body was punched with the Wide Oval. Then, the oval was reinserted into the punch and trimmed to get a "thinner" body. Finally, I trimmed the bottom straight with a pair of scissors. The "tights" were made with the 1-1/4" Wide Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.

So fun!
