My Craft Space:

My space is a spare bedroom that we made from half of our garage.  We no longer use it for the original purpose, so it is now my craft room.  However, we still have visitors every once in a while so we keep a TV, Dresser and Bed in the room.  I'm actually standing on the bed to take the photo.  Maybe one day I will post individual photos so you can see better.  But for now I think you get the idea and see where I work.

So the real reason of the post is because Cards by Jovan is doing a giveaway.  She has finally revealed wall 4 of her new craft room.  If you haven't seen it yet, it's amazing.  You can see it here: http://www.cardsbyjovan.com/2011/10/craft-room-reveal-wall-four.html

For the give away, you just need to upload a picture of your work area.  The giveaway is a stamp set donated by Emma of "My Creative Time.  If you haven't seen her site, you should she also is amazing.

Diamond Fold Card

I found this Diamond Fold Card on Creations with Christina's website here: http://www.creationswithchristina.com/2011/09/cwc-9611-diamond-fold-card.html

After watching her video I know I had to make this card.  I love the way it came out, it's definitely something different.  My Dad loves anything sailing so I thought this would be perfect for him.  Plus I was able to use up.....you guessed it, scraps.

Happy Halloween!

Here's another Halloween card I made for two challenges.  I'm actually early this year and think I will knock out all my Halloween cards early this year.

Cricut Cardz Challenge #91: The challenge for this week is "Things That Go Bump in the Night!" Make a card for Halloween with the spookiest, scariest image you can find on any cartridge(s), and using  any colors you’d like.

And

Disstress it over at http://polkadoodle.blogspot.com/  Scrunching, inking, tearing, sanding, infact whatever distressing technique you love 'Distress it' challenge.

Also found the perfect spot to photograph the card, in the moss that is growing from a Cypress tree in my front yard.  It's actually pretty neat looking.  I distressed and inked the edges of the purple cardstock to make it a little scarier.
