Western Woman!

I am happy to announce that today I had the opportunity to photograph a lovely western woman! Talk about strong and fearless! I love these shots and I am so happy to have had this chance! Are you ready to see my Picture Picks?? We took a total of 21 photos but only kept 17 shots. I have picked my fave 5 to show off here on the blog! You can also see them on my Facebook page. Thanks for joining me today for this fun chance to show off how far my photography has come!





Thank you all for joining me and please have a happy crafty Tuesday!

New Bows!

I have been reading up on new hair bow designs and decided to just take the leap and try some of them out for myself. =) So after receiving my shipment of JUST CLAY and so much more items I decided to get started.

The first bow I have to show you is made with 2 different types and sizes of ribbon. The base is made from a thick silk multicolor paw print ribbon! One of my favorite ribbons ever! Then on top of that is a thin loop ribbon in pale yellow. Then to top it all of is a twisted butterfly embellishment from JUST CLAY. It originally had a butterfly bead in the center of it but I carefully removed it and used a pearl brad which I feel better fits the look I was going for. (Although, I might change the butterfly out for the adorable lady bug. Might work better with the colors.) I had to modify the brad a bit to get it to fit the butterfly without ruining it. I am glad to say that I have done it! =) It turned out super crazy cute!!! Are you ready to see it?

Then I tried another variation of this bow using two thin ribbons, lime green and purple. Again it turned out very cute! I used another fabulous embellishment from JUST CLAY to top it off and complete my wonderful bow! =) How adorable!

More about JUST CLAY

So as you all know a while back I won some great products from JUST CLAY and so much more on Facebook. I got all of the items I won completely for free! Which was totally awesome! I was so excited the day they arrived! Saddly though, durring shipping both items were damaged. =( This made me so horribly sad. I contacted Elizabeth at JUST CLAY to see what I would need to do to get the items fixed. She gladly told me to just send everything back to her and she would pay shipping costs to get the items back and replace them. Today I am very glad to say that the items have found their way back to me safe and sound and are amazing!!!
(I did however have the chance to change my winning hair bow for some embelishments, I make my own bows now and would love to make some using her amazing products.) She was so nice about the whole situation and shipped everything promptly! Are you ready to see my wonderful items??
(ALL OF THE IEMS SHOWN ARE A COPYWRITE OF JUST CLAY and so much more. I DO NOT CLAIM THAT ANY OF THE ITEMS ARE MY OWN CREATIONS.)

Manic Challenge Monday #3

Fun and Fabulous Manic Challenge Monday! Today's challenge comes from a few different blogs. First up is the layout of the card which comes from Mojo Monday Blog! (http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/) Be sure to stop by and check out their blog but to make things a little easier for this posting I am going to post their challenge. =)

"Happy Monday, Mojo friends! How's your summer treating you? It's been super busy around here, so this week we've got a simple sketch for you. Feel free to dress it up or dress it down to your heart's content. The ribbon, flower and rounded corners are simply embellishment suggestions. We just hope you're able to find a pocket of "ME" time amidst the busyness of summer activities to play along! Since it's the last week of the month, we like to mix things up and focus on non-traditional sized cards, so we've given you a Round or Square option. Try a round card, a square card or both if you're feeling really inspired!!."

I choose the square card for my project. I have never made a round card so I decided to do my tried and true. =) I might still try a rounded card today, not sure. I also decided to use the color challenge from Stamp Something *A weekly challenge blog* (http://stampchallenges.blogspot.com/) Again, to make things easier I will post their challenge here. Don't forget to stop by their blog as well. =)

"This week we'd like to CELEBRATE the end of June and beginning of July with a little RED, WHITE AND BLUE!! So celebration cards, 4th of July cards or anything really....just celebrate something and use red, white and blue to do it!!!"

It seems like just about every blog I found that was holding a new challenge is doing something red white and blue! I love Independence Day, Proud to be an American! So I was glad to see so many challenges including these special colors!



Great Challenges today! Thanks for joining me again for another Manic Challenge Monday!
