Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #23: Button, Button, Whose Got A Button?
Do you have buttons? I have a few. I'm sure you do, too. Why not use them this week for Tuesday Alchemy's challenge? All you have to do is add one to ANY craft, share it with us & you could win a prize!
The prize is provided by Robyn's Fetish. They offer a variety of digital stamps for every style, occasion & need. Come play with us & you may just win FIVE digital stamps of your choice. Wouldn't that be fantastic? Yep, I know it would.
For this creation, I used a digital stamp from Robyn's Fetish. I added a smattering of buttons, faux flowers & twine. It's CAS, yet so much fun AND it's made up of my favorite color scheme: red & light blue.

Want A Cup Of Tea?
When I was creating my project for Tuesday Alchemy, I printed out two of this adorable digital stamp from our sponsor, The Greeting Farm.
I had planned on cutting different pieces of one image to place on top of the other image to create more depth. However, I only used the hat, so I decided to create my own hat. It's a smart little thing with a large bow & birdcage veil.
My first creation can be seen here, which was used as inspiration for Tuesday Alchemy's 21st challenge.
They are similar in color scheme, but I used different styles to create similar yet different looks.

My Crafty Mind Has Hit The Wall
This week I just couldn't sit down & create cards for challenges as much as I'd like to. I tried. I tried again, but I just ended up sitting at my table staring at my TV screen or looking out my window. I have a lot to do, but I just couldn't get myself to do it. I made sure that I completed my DT tasks & shop orders, of course.
Since finding all of my old jewelry, I had these wonderful plans to recycle it all into creations. I managed to create two things so far. This is the second one, the first one can be found here.

The bow is from a choker. It's actually the backing that was coming off, so I stripped it & turned it into the bow. Very soft & supple material with a rich brown color. I still have the rest of the choker to work with, too.
The other details include a chipboard flourish that I covered & sealed with glitter, leaf stickers & faux flowers/
Have you ever been blah about your craft? If so, how did you get out of it? I'd love to hear your story :)

Posies In A Vase
Here is a quick & easy way to create a "vase": Cut the ends off of an oval. Yep, that's all it takes :)
I used the same flowers from the card below, but I changed it up for a completely different look & new creation.

Sparkle, Bloom & Bow
It is just not very cheery today. Rain, rain, rain! The local weather girl says it's "light showers" - Ha! Everything is soaked & it hasn't let up since I awoke this morning.

Itsy Bitsy Bikinis
It's Summer! If you are in Oregon like me, it may not seem like it. But it's here! If you haven't already pulled it out, it's time to get that bikini (or other swimsuit if you're not a bikini wearer) ready to wear or at least your body ready to wear it :)

Romance In The Park
A delightfully drawn couple relax on a park bench - Isn't that just sweet?
To bling this creation up, I covered a chipboard flourish with sparkling blue glitter. I've had these flourishes for a long, long time. They come unaltered. I decided to use them ASAP. I pained & added glitter to a bunch, so don't be surprised if you see a few more projects with these on 'em!
