I am so blessed to have crafty friends in cyber-land.<br />
<br />
I decided to add one of my <a href="http://cropchocolate.com/">cropchocolate.com</a> projects to the <a href="http://inkstainswithroni.blogspot.com/2012/11/ink-stains-5th-anniversary-altered.html" target="_blank">Ink Stains 5th Anniversary Altered Altoids Tin Art Festival & Blog Hop!</a> and linking to the image from my CC profile didn't work. So, I couldn't take the lazy route and here I am.<br />
<br />
My altered tin is a practical one. A travel tin for earrings and rings. I hope you like it. It's simple to make and would make a nice gift for travelers. <br />

<br />
I've been making cards lately to submit in the weekly contests<a href="http://cropchocolate.com/" target="_blank"> CropChocolate.com</a> has been holding. I've been pleasantly surprised at the wonderful feedback they've been receiving. Below is my entry for this week's challenge - create something using a minimum of 2 lines of paper and a minimum of 3 folds and as always at least 1/2 the products used must be from <a href="http://cropchocolate.com/" target="_blank">cropchocolate</a>. <br />
<br />

The balloon generated a good bit of interest and questions on CC. Here's how I made it.<br />

<br />
I used a circle punch (1-3/8") to punch out circles from a variety of papers. I then folded them in 1/2 and glued the sides together to form the balloon.<br />
<br />
I then punched the basket using the 2nd largest shape from the SU owl punch and trimming the narrow end to make the flat bottom of the basket and inked the edges.<br />
<br />
Lastly, I used the yellow topped stick pins from a package of MME embellishments to form the ropes and sand bags.<br />
<br />
Note: If you use a larger circle punch the basket could likely be made using 1/2 of a rounded tab punch. <br />

Thank you each for the honor and making me smile. Since your kind enough to follow my blog, it would be nice if I'd post a little something, eh?<br />
<br />
I've haven't done much crafting recently and what I have done has been prompted by <a href="http://cropchocolate.com/">CropChocolate.com</a>. Between participating in challenges posed to their current focus group and the weekly challenges posed on the 'shops' website I haven't completely been neglecting my crafty supplies.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh50IML1B4LFoCxNRkCBtXoHTy5QBp3bRD69Rr1OlRKY_cOlcRkjMWKksQt9P5W8JYkNeTbZofam5vFX4dQpIQGB2msARdhmAK0sz4SxdnmHy9MZGmptG_rupdaz_Ql-GUfvcce9wc2LMJs/s1600/scan0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh50IML1B4LFoCxNRkCBtXoHTy5QBp3bRD69Rr1OlRKY_cOlcRkjMWKksQt9P5W8JYkNeTbZofam5vFX4dQpIQGB2msARdhmAK0sz4SxdnmHy9MZGmptG_rupdaz_Ql-GUfvcce9wc2LMJs/s320/scan0001.jpg" width="320" /></a> I used a doily for the both current weekly challenge and last weeks. The previous weeks challenge was to use masking - the doily served as my mask. This weeks challenge was to include a homemade flower and I used the doily from the previous challenge as part of the background. The masking/inking of the doily was done with TH Distress Stain. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I hope you like the cards and encourage you to check out CropChocolate.com; it's a great site for buying supplies and making scrappy friends.<br />

This year I was on a wreath kick. Here's some of the wreaths I made. One of the recipients requested a Halloween themed wreath.<br />

My Darling lovely Angel was made for <a href="http://www.wescrap.com/home/showthread.php/2092-Lisa-s-Challenge-1-One-Old-One-New">Lisa's Challenge #1- One Old, One New</a>.
My DD was first in a church Nativity performance in 1998 as a cherub.
Her most recent role in 2010 was once again as an angel. This time she
got to 'herd' the cherubs on and off stage and serve as THE angel
sharing the good news with the shepherds while on stage. For this LO I
used My Minds Eye Lost & Found papers, white & pink Stickles,
Making Memories brads and shimmer alphas.Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11461575940853596505noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497637307820646531.post-11764678153842850862012-01-30T09:12:00.000-08:002012-01-30T09:12:04.849-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sabrina combined her two challenges in one thread - <a href="http://www.wescrap.com/home/showthread.php/2091-Sabrina-s-quot-Bring-in-The-New-Crop-quot-Challenges">Sabrina's "Bring in The New Crop" Challenges</a>.
Her first challenge is to use a New Year's picture. This LO recalls
the year my DD received a ballet outfit from Santa. While we were at
her Grandparents that night she was still excited about it & was
dancing around. While spinning she lost her balance & hit her face
on the coffee table as she fell. A week later, for New Year's dinner,
while it was breaking up, her black eye was still shinning away for a
Shiner New Year celebration. The paper is My Minds Eye Lost &
Found; the journal tag is Fancy Pants and the gem arrow is Basic Grey.<br />
<br />
Big Girl Bed is for Sabrina's 2nd challenge, "something new in your
life." This pictures in this LO were taken one year later than the
previous one & as does the ballet outfit pic, shows her favorite
gift from Santa that year. She was so excited at the idea of being able
to sleep in a big girl bed instead of a crib. She climbed onto it with
out giving her other presents a thought. As the day went on, she was
climbing onto the bed when ever she could. Who needs toys when Santa
brings a big girl bed?! I used Doodle Bug Designs Cheerfully Christmas
line. The word Bed! is Making Memories Felt Alphas. I also used a
Fancy Pants journal tag, misc green paper, & Stampin Up ink.Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11461575940853596505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497637307820646531.post-19526804924431165432012-01-30T09:08:00.001-08:002012-01-30T09:08:29.346-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

made this page, Moma's & Babies, recalling the first time my DD saw
horses. A friend took us to his equine breeding farm during foaling
season. While we were there not only did she get to 'ride' a dwarf pony
(while it's baby was nursing), she also got to see a foal being born! I
used Echo Park's Country Drive paper and Thickers for this page.Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11461575940853596505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497637307820646531.post-34502830751702935762012-01-30T08:57:00.000-08:002012-01-30T09:07:47.251-08:00It turns out the pics need to be compressed to post them on We Scrap and they need to be in separate posts so here they are again in one post after another . . . <br />

Sabrina combined her two challenges in one thread - <a href="http://www.wescrap.com/home/showthread.php/2091-Sabrina-s-quot-Bring-in-The-New-Crop-quot-Challenges">Sabrina's "Bring in The New Crop" Challenges</a>. Her first challenge is to use a New Year's picture. This LO recalls the year my DD received a ballet outfit from Santa. While we were at her Grandparents that night she was still excited about it & was dancing around. While spinning she lost her balance & hit her face on the coffee table as she fell. A week later, for New Year's dinner, while it was breaking up, her black eye was still shinning away for a Shiner New Year celebration. The paper is My Minds Eye Lost & Found; the journal tag is Fancy Pants and the gem arrow is Basic Grey.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Big Girl Bed is for Sabrina's 2nd challenge, "something new in your life." This pictures in this LO were taken one year later than the previous one & as does the ballet outfit pic, shows her favorite gift from Santa that year. She was so excited at the idea of being able to sleep in a big girl bed instead of a crib. She climbed onto it with out giving her other presents a thought. As the day went on, she was climbing onto the bed when ever she could. Who needs toys when Santa brings a big girl bed?! I used Doodle Bug Designs Cheerfully Christmas line. The word Bed! is Making Memories Felt Alphas. I also used a Fancy Pants journal tag, misc green paper, & Stampin Up ink.<br />

This LO recalling the Mother's Day DD and I spent on the National Mall for the Million Mom March hosted by Rosie O'Donnell is for <a href="http://www.wescrap.com/home/showthread.php/2093-Lisa-s-Challenge-2-Something-Old-Something-New">Lisa's Challenge #2- Something Old, Something New</a>. The pink paper, from Carolee's Creations is probably 6 years old. The center flower, which is a few years old, is from Prima's e' line an it's sparkly center is by Making Memories. The background paper and frames are from My Minds' Eye Quite Contrary Jack & Jill line.<br />

Using My Minds' Eye Quite Contrary Jack & Jill line along w/flowers from My Minds Eye Lush line & Die Cuts with a View cardstock, I made this LO for <a href="http://www.wescrap.com/home/showthread.php/2097-Victoria-s-Scraplift-Challenge">Victoria's Scraplift Challenge</a>. My DD was SO PROUD to have dressed herself. Why she put her bathing suit on is beyond me. I just love that she put it on backwards. <br />

My Darling lovely Angel was made for <a href="http://www.wescrap.com/home/showthread.php/2092-Lisa-s-Challenge-1-One-Old-One-New">Lisa's Challenge #1- One Old, One New</a>. My DD was first in a church Nativity performance in 1998 as a cherub. Her most recent role in 2010 was once again as an angel. This time she got to 'herd' the cherubs on and off stage and serve as THE angel sharing the good news with the shepherds while on stage. For this LO I used My Minds Eye Lost & Found papers, white & pink Stickles, Making Memories brads and shimmer alphas.Jeanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11461575940853596505noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497637307820646531.post-71919022835256109722012-01-27T16:43:00.000-08:002012-01-27T16:43:52.980-08:00On 1-22-1, I had the honor of being the Closed Sunday Feature at <a href="https://cropchocolate.com/">Crop Chocolate</a>: <a href="https://www.cropchocolate.com/past_scrapbook_deals?pid=1862">https://www.cropchocolate.com/past_scrapbook_deals?pid=1862 </a><br />
