Once Upon A Time - CaardVarks Fantasy Challenge

My Entry for the CaardVarks Fantasy Challenge!

I discovered a new place to play! It's the CaardVarks Blog. The April 5th challenge is to post a card for the 'Good Knight' Challenge - a card that has a fantasy theme.

Actually, to be told, I have lurked and googled at all the cool creations the design team posts, at this place, and NOW I know some of the new DT members! Hello Girls from the Hero Arts playground!!! Yeah! So, I am inspired to play along with them...

Card Ingredients:
Stamp: Purple Onion Design - (Flourish) stamped in Ranger Distress Aged Mohagany, then I traced over it with a Spica Pen to give some bling.
PP: DCWV - Once Upon a Time Stack; and DCWV chipboard embellies. ('The Fantasy' is below the ribbon)
Ghost Butterfly: Heidi Swapp
Ranger Distress Stickles (on the butterfly)
Hero Arts Pearls (on the butterfly)
Ribbon: SU
Ring 'Crown with Cross' Charm - a RAK!

Thanks for looking!

Time for Some Thanksgiving Cards

Hmm.. What's This? OH!

A Side View of Eight Cards Getting Sent Out Tomorrow!
Eight fun Thanksgiving Cards. I have a few people
on my 'thank you' list - people who have made me feel special and I want
to do the same for them!
And some of them do (perhaps) read this
blog. So most of them are top secret!
( I promise to show them all at the end of the week!
I really really like these cards!)

But I'll Show You This One
Stamps are Purple Onion Designs and Hero Arts.
Patterned Paper is Cosmo Cricket (LOVE that stuff!)

And Here are Three Cards Made for This Weeks Hero Arts Challenge
This week's challenge was to use your stamp scraps to create
some Thank You cards. I made Happy Thanksgiving Cards instead.
Sometimes I'm just not good at directions!!!
And, I'm always wanting to kill two birds with one stone!
I need Thanksgiving Cards!

*******************

As you can see, I had a very productive weekend in the card making world.

I came down with a 24 hour bug (aka food poisoning!) Friday Night. Which is a real bummer. We went out to dinner to our favorite brew pup. I had a very 'hoppy' dark beer, and a fancy hamburger and onion rings. Not sure which of these three cardiac attacks did me in.. But let's just say, at 10pm, my dinner decided to come back up, and I was the only one in the house who got sick! So, since yesterday was a saltines and water kinda day I decided to 'just' work in my crafty zone... inbetween the ususal mommy and wife duties.

Thanksgiving is this week! Amazing how fast these things happen. Right now I have 2 kids wondering when dinner is going to be, what it is going to be, and I gotta go and tend to the troops (sorry, can't do 2 things at once right now)!

Catch you all later! Thanks for stopping by....
