FFC-Ribbon and Pearls

Hey all. Quick post today. I am the May hostess and the first challenge I came up with was to make a card with ribbons and/or pearls. I had thought that my card would be frilly and feminine for Mother's Day, but my muse decided on tween birthday instead.

Be sure to check out the other Friday Fun Chicks.
(Sorry I can't do links from my phone but all the links are to the right.

Have a great weekend and don't forget to pamper the mama's in your life!

Any 5x7 print of winner's choice

All the layers and patterns on top of pattern just add so much texture and draw your eye into each picture.  I love it.

Etsy Inspired Challenge--Working Around the Clock

Hi friends.  Phew, barely made it here tonight.  My computer literally went up in smoke last weekend and I have been trying to figure out how I can get photos into blogger since then since I either have computers with photo software not on my network or on-line and no photo software.  I finally figured out that I can try it all virtually, so the pics may not be the best, but they came from my phone and have little editing, so I apologize.

Here is my project.  I got a jump start on Father's Day and figured this little coaster album will be something fun for my girls to give to Daddy this year.  I can't get to my photos right now, but I know we have a couple of the girls "helping" Daddy work on his car that he would love to be able to keep at his desk at work.  I'll just have to add those later.

This week's inspiration shop is Bearly Art: http://www.etsy.com/shop/bearlyart  

This is the clock that inspired me:

Isn't that a cool clock?  It is actually painted vinyl record.  The ultimate in cool artistic recycling. 

One winner this week will receive a clock of their choice of those in stock at Bearly Art.  I am seriously going to order a couple of these because they are sooo cool.

This week's sponsor is Sassy Cheryl's http://www.sassycheryls.com/store/

One winner will receive a $5 gift certificate from her store.

Make sure to check out what the rest of the Design Team has done this week.

Sneaking in some Friday Fun

It’s April 15th so Sherry challenged:

It’s Tax Day and since you have to FILE by today I want you to make a FILE Folder Notebook.

Tutorial here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/filefoldernotebook/

I made mine super simple and a little masculine.  My husband will actually use these little notebooks and padfolios when we are working on household projects.  The receipts and paint samples etc can go on one side and he can write down all the measurements on the other.  I think he will appreciate using this one more than one with flowers and ribbon on it :)

I know that Christi has hers up as well, but I think the other girls had problems with supplies so they may be filing late ;)

InStyle Stamps April Color Challenge

Ugh!  I am still down and out with this bug and I think the kids are getting it too so I apologize that I have not stamped anything yet for the Color Challenge over at the InStyle Stamps Blog.  I did want to be sure to show you the color inspiration piece though:

Some great colors to pull out of this one.  I hope you are enjoying your day and as soon as I can get back to the craft table I will be showing you what I come up with.
