Two projects in two days!

I'm still finding it difficult to get back into my card-making (actually, crafting of any sort) because I'm enjoying my photography so much.  However, the weekly challenges do keep my motivated, even if I don't always participate.

Rebecca of Tag Tuesday has challenged us with a "Ten Minute Tag."    It took me half of that time to cut the lilies from the patterned paper!   And I had to have a plan ahead of time, which isn't typical for me.   The image is from DezinaWorld (Headgear Ladies).

Tag Tuesday....with a quote

I'm trying to get back into the groove of crafting after a week away.  Tag Tuesday's challenge of last week involved the use of a quote on the tag.  I've also used an image from DezinaWorld and a floral rub-on.

Emerald for Art Creations Friday

Wil has created another fabulous textured background to serve as the starting point for this week's Art Creations Friday challenge. There is enough green in the background to inspire me to use one of my new "Emerald" images from Dezinaworld. (I was the lucky 'spot winner' on the Dezinaworld blog!)

 

Shabby Chic on Tag Tuesday

If I were single, I would decorate in 'shabby chic'! Lots of cream and white, distressed wood, shaped metal, etc., etc. That's just a dream, though. ;-) This tag for Tag Tuesday's theme of Shabby Chic and the DezinaWorld Lace Theme features the Faux Painted Paneling technique from the current Technique Junkies newsletter, which I then distressed by sanding. I've added a ribbon and lace combination to frame the portrait.
