Crafty night with the Gals

Last night, we had a crafty night and our challenge project had to have flowers on it somewhere and so here is what I created for the challenge.

Here is the card I recieved in our card challenge swap, thi

s time I got Kim's card and I just LOVE it...just gorgeous :). Everyone, did an amazing job on their challenge cards.

Yvonne provided us with our group projects for the night, I have seen this one on several people's blogs but just thought it was difficult. It is far from being difficult, WOW...what a great project and Julie used this project for teachers gifts this year. She put paper clips and other doo dads in the boxes, and of course a little bit of chocolate too :p! I can't wait to make some more of these boxes, and here is the link for this tutorial:

Here is what the inside of the box looks like, pretty neat :)!

I also made a card (it was more like a postcard) for Deborah to say thank you for holding these crafty nights at her place, the stamp I used is by the Artful Stamper. Here is what I did to create this card:

~Stamped out the image onto watercolor paper

~colored in image on watercolor paper

~stamped out image onto Vellum

~colored in image on vellum, then I cut out the leaves and butterfly wings.

~attached wings and leaves using some glue

~used my glass finish one the butterflies bodies

Here is what the "postcard" looks like from a different angle, it turned out amazingly and yes it did take a bit of time and patience to get it completed. But it was worth it in the end :)!

Crafty night out with the gals

Tonight, is our monthly get together with some of my very crafty friends...sadly tonight we will only be having a small group out.  We are going to miss our usually larger group of gals that come out, I will keep a project of mine for each of you who couldn't make it out tonight. 

 Every month we take turns teaching a project to the rest of the gals, so tonight is my turn and let me tell you the bar was raised high!!  But since I was sick for the past couple of weeks, I decided to do something somewhat simple but still fun to do :)!  Next time I will do something more challenging ;)!

So here is what I created for the group to do tonight, I cased it off of Waltzingmouse Makes blog...you should all seriously check out all her tutorials of projects you can make because they are amazing :).

Also, we always have a challenge card that we have to make for the fun crafty night too...so tonights challenge was to use chipboard somewhere on your project or your project could be made out of chipboard.  So here is my card for that card challenge, love how it turned out :)!!  I will also post what other projects we will be making too...

Inky Hugs,
