Craft Fair Season!

Well the Craft Fair season is in full swing! I have been to two so far and I have another one on Dec. 4th. I have resumed sewing sock creatures! Sometimes a break is all you need to clear your head and start creating again.


Please ignore the wrinkled tablecloth! I promise to iron it before the next craft fair (well I promise to ask Jeff to iron it).

Here are the new sock creatures!

I sold the two with eye patches. Boys love a good eye patch! So questions:

• Would you be more likely to buy if each creature had a name?
• Can you provide me with some names? HA!

10 Cards in 10 Weeks - Week 6 and 7 - Preppy inspired cards

I fell behind with my preppy inspired challenge so this post include week 6 and week 7! To see how Elle is doing on her "What Preppy Wore" Challenge click HERE.

Elle is moving away very soon so each card signifies one week closer to her departure. We went shopping this weekend and she got some super cute outfits, but she can't wear them for her challenge because her rules say she can't wear anything new. (maybe I can talk her into breaking that rule, because she bought a maxi dress that is super cute!)

To Recap click these links to see Card 1, Card 2, Card 3, Card 4 and Card 5

Anyway... Here is inspiration for week #6 chosen by Elle:

EBTKS Challenge - Sketches Inspire

While browsing through blog land, I came across the Everything But the Kitchen Sink Challenge. There inspiration this week was this fabulous sketch. I just had to try it out, I love the clean lines and simplicity of it. Be sure to check out the blog for some other great cards inspired by this sketch.



Okay..... anti-climactic drum roll.....

I am very appreciative to blogs that post these challenges. I have felt so creatively drained that past few months and I feel like I have gotten a second wind. Thanks so much!

I will be posting this card in my Etsy Shop MD Cards and Gifts later this week! Yeah I am making progress!

Thanks for stopping by!
