{PIN}spirational Challenge #26: Photo - Maple Tree In Autumn
We are celebrating this beautiful season with a gorgeous tree for inspiration at {PIN}spirational Challenges.
Our sponsor is the wonderful Stitchy Bear Stamps. While I haven't used one of their digis in this creation, I have in the past (click here) & will definitely be doing so in the future.
Are you inspired? If so, please share your creation with us. I can't wait to see it!
This creation is all about using what I have.
The only item that is "new" is the grosgrain ribbon, which is my new obsession!
The polka dot chipboard flower (right side) is at least 3 years old! Talk about hoarding :)
Have you been using up your stash lately? What is the oldest item you have in your supplies?

Three Scoops, Please
It's oh, so HOT! At least, it is here in Oregon. It's the kind of summer days that three scoops of yummy ice cream are necessary and you may just call it a new food group until it cools down.
Chocolate, strawberry & vanilla ice cream with polka dot sprinkles top a cone that was decorated with a well-loved dictionary page & rick rack.
It's a magnet, btw :)
If you haven't stopped by Tuesday Alchemy, it's time you did! Our challenge this week is, well, ice cream! And we'd love to have you join us with your own version of this delicious treat.
This magnet was submitted to these challenges.

Hello, Dear Butterfly
It took constant reminder that I couldn't add pink, blue or just something!
Have you tried to work with just one color? Did you enjoy it?

{PIN}spirational Challenge #13: Inspiration Photo - Butterfly Cupcakes
How does this photo inspire you? Are you taken by the colors? The cupcakes or their unique embellishments? We would love to see what you come up! Create something new & share it with us at {PIN}spirational Challenges.
By participating, you have a chance to win a prize from this week's sponsor, Melonheadz. Their digital graphics are very cute & have that illustrated look for lots of fun!
Ok, so, yeah . . . I loved this picture & I was inspired by it rather quickly. It's always nice when that happens! I quickly put together this creation. It's CAS, but oh, so lovely :)
The ice cream & the cone was made using foam that I covered with glitter embossed cardstock. It's shiny & sparkly, although, you may not be able to tell from the photo. The butterflies are die cuts. I gently bent them in the middle to give more dimension to them.
I decided to keep it completely CAS, so the entire focus is on that yummy dessert.
Recommendation: Chocolate Peanut Butter, Organic So Delicious (Turtle Mountain.)
{ Fun Facts }
The U.S.A. enjoys an average of 48 pints of ice cream per person a year. That's more than any other country! (I'm not quite sure if this is something to be proud of.)
July is National Ice Cream Month in the U.S.A. It was proclaimed as such in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan.
What is the most ice cream cones prepared in a minute? Nineteen!

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 :)

Thank You With A Tulip
I would like to give a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Eileen & Deanne!
Thank you, ladies!
I asked for help & they quickly provided it. It's so wonderful to have such supportive & giving women in my life :)
I pieced together the vibrant tulip before attaching it to a sparkling, handmade tag.

For You With Pursonality
I adore purses! I especially enjoy purses that are obnoxious, extravagant & what others would say are "gaudy." I don't know why, but it's just my preference.

Handbag Style
There was a very brief moment in my life when I decided I was going to make purses. My mom had just bought me a sewing machine, so that was all I needed! I bought lots of fabric, trims, threads, handles & whatever else caught my fancy. I was going to be this fabulous handbag designer, making lots of money by selling them on ebay.
Ha ha ha! I made a few bags AND I even sold a couple. They weren't horrible, but they were not fantastic. Of course, I struggled & struggled to learn, but my impatience got the better of me. I put a stop to that fantasty. It was fun for a time, but it just didn't catch my interest.

Cupcake 195: Tagtastic!
Hello, everyone! Today is an exciting day for me as it's my first challenge as a guest designer for Cupcake Craft Challenges. They asked me to join them for the month of June, so every week you will see a new creation by me that will be featured as inspiration for their participants. Wonderful, right? Be sure to visit us at Cupcake Craft Challenges & join in the fun!
For this challenge, we were challenged to create a tag, but it couldn't be just any tag. It had to be tagtastic! I decided to grab a variety of my supplies that have been waiting to be used, so every detail & embellishment is probably 6 months or older. My Mission 2012: Use It is on it's way to be completed!

Thinking Of You
Well, this will be my final card for today. I ran out of time, so I wasn't able to do all of the challenges for 365 Cards. Darn! I was SO close, but I ended up going shopping with my partner. We went to the Army & Navy Store, Costco & Wal-Mart. We did get a few good things, though! A tent, screen room, olives & garden gloves.

Here is a little bonus for you . . . Garlic & Jalapeno Stuffed Olives - They are yummy, addicting & incredibly inexpensive at Costco for a big jar. If you see them there, buy 'em, you won't be disappointed!
Escape
Today's weather in Oregon is fairly mild, so I'm going to escape into crafting, imagining when it will be nice & hot & I will be swimming in a lake. I decided to attempt to complete a full week of challenges for 365 Cards. This is my second card today for them. Stay tuned to see if I can complete all 7 challenges . . .
