From Jennie's Blog.......To me, being a frugal cardmaker is creating a beautiful card without a lot of expense. I would rather spend my crafting dollars on things I can use over and over rather than on rub-ons, stickers, primas and other embellishments that can only be used once. I also like my cards to go in the mail for the price of one stamp!Which brings me to the challenge. I love cards with lots of white space too so here is my challenge to you.

1) Create a card using only white cardstock. (today's card is a good example) Use as many layers as you like but no colored cardstock or paper.
2) The only color should come from the image. The card should be at least 75% white.
3) No embellishments like ribbon, buttons, primas etc
4) The challenge will run for 6 days, Saturday through Thursday. All entries must get to me by midnight EST on Thursday, that is 11pm Central and 9pm PST.

Here is my entry:

I used my Cuttlebug to give texture and depth to the card. The image is simply stamped in Black Stazon ink and highlighted with my Stardust Glitter Gel Pen. Are you up to the challenge??

Moos anyone....

I haven't made any Moos in months. It was refreshing. I struggle a bit with inchies, but I adore the shape of Moos. Just in case you're reading this thinking I'm wonky and wondering "What the heck are Moos"?

What are MOO MiniCards? http://www.moo.com/ To put it simply, MiniCards are little cards with your photos or designs on one side, and your details on the other. MOO like to think of them as little calling-cards; cards you hand out to keep in touch with friends, or new people you meet.

How big are they? For those of you with a ruler, the MiniCards are 28mm x 70mm. For those of you who left your pencil case at home, that's roughly half the size of a normal, boring old business card. (For those of using inches that's roughly 1 1/8" x 2 3/4".

One of my fave ART challenge blogs is here: http://makeamooortwo.wordpress.com/ Each week there is a different "Moo" theme. You create your ART, post in on your blog and then leave a comment over there with a link to your Moos. It's a great way to keep creating, share you ART and meet some other great ARTists!! :)

The current theme is "yesterday" so I'm adding my Moos to the mix!! All images are from http://www.paperimagerydesigns.com/. Enjoy!!

Another Iris Fold Challenge - Think Spring

We have a monthly lottery challenge over at my ART group. The theme for March was "Think Spring" and anything goes. I seem to be in an Iris Fold mood lately!! I love this Calla Lily pattern. I modified it a bit (by tripling it) and placing it in the foreground of a lush spring garden scene. I really like how it turned out. The scan does not do it justice......the Lillies are made from a pearl shimmer vellum paper and they really do shimmer.

Another new Iris Fold for a challenge

I made this pink bunny iris fold mixed media collage today. It is for a challenge over at my friend Autumn's blog. She provided the bunny template and we are challenged to use it in an ART piece. This is my interpretation. The Collage, titled "HOP" is 8 x 10 and is listed in my Etsy shop.

I photographed the collage hanging from my Fringe Tree, which is beyond gorgeous right now. Here are a couple of shots of her too!! :::smiles:::
