Unscripted, Pile it On and Always Playing with Paper

I don't give you very interesting titles do I? It takes all my creative energy to make the card. Creative writing has never been one of my strong points. Writing is a struggle for me because I have some dyslexic tendencies. Sunday I read the most interesting post at Unscripted. They are starting a new article called Painless Journaling Sunday with Sarah Kaye. It is really very interesting and I am hoping to get a few tips.
This card I made using Unscripted Sketch #63. OH, I was picked one of their top three last week with this card. I am so honored. I really love their sketches.

The challenge for Pile it On is challenge #26 called My Favorite Things. Well I have so many favorite things. Number one would be paper, then my Cuttlebug and all those wonderful embossing folders that change card stock into wonderful textured paper. It also cuts using many different types of dies. I used CB EF Dotted Swiss, and Nestibilites scallop circle on this card. The card stock is SU but the DP was from my scraps so I don't know the name.

The challenge for Always Playing with Paper Challenge #5 is a theme challenge called Oh Baby. I used SU stamp set call Nursery Necessities. I love that set.

What is your favorite craft tool? I would love to hear all about it.

Thanks for stopping,

Challenge #6

Well I didn't get much crafting done today because I spent four hours weeding a garden. My hands are so sore but the garden looks pretty good.
I wanted to play along with another one of Robyn's challenges. The Pink Stamper Challenge #6 is Kids Craft too. We are going to be celebrating Earth Day and Mother's Day this week at school. I know we are late for earth day but with the program early last week our Earth Day got rescheduled to this coming Friday. I thought this would be a great time to teach my class how to make flowers out of old telephone books. I am going to take my Cuttlebug and nestibilities. They will think it is great fun cranking the handle. We made applesauce in the fall and I took my Apple Peeler Slicer. They thought that was cool. I'll poke the hole but they will but in the brad and scrunch up the layers. There will be 9 layer. Three layers of three sizes. I was going to use the small nesties but I bet they will talk me into the larger ones. We will be using these on our Mother's Day gifts. We will be recycleing and making something special for mom. The challenge ends tomorrow. I don't think I will have time to post a picture of them making their flower. I hope this is OK for the challenge.
Thanks for stopping,


I got one student at work. They think the Cuttlebug is cool!
