Boo-Kay

Today is my day over on the 365 Cards blog.

The Challenge?

Create a bouquet of flowers on your card.

I've been neglecting my In Bloom set {gasp! say it isn't so!!} and decided to ink'er up thanks to all the fabbie inspiration from Maile Belles and Kelley Eubanks!!

I used a square Fabriano card and paper piece the lovely bloom. The stitched ribbon is actually from the M's $ bin....love that! The button is PTI, the twine is SU. So, are your wheels turning...thinking of a great idea for the

I'm going to multi-task and also show you my take on CP#38:
This is such a GREAT sketch...I put together Jillibean, Hambly and A Muse:

Seriously, who can resist black & kraft with a smidge of glitter??!!

Earlier this week I was trying to recuperate from the Gift Show...the multiple soccer games in different towns...a sick kid. Realistically, I should have spent Sunday cleaning/organizing my home but I had invited my friend LB over to be crafty with me...we wanted to work on a certain project...I was making mine for me...not for anyone else but me. It always seems like I'm making projects for someone else...usually a birthday gift...and never something that I keep.

Here's a sneaky peek of it:

Any guesses as to what it is? LOL...it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out. What if I put up a smidge of blog candy...what? 2 blog candies in 1 week? Aha...but these are fat-free my friends...how about a set of this? Those of you that have been following me know my love of Sassy stuff:) Let's pick Friday, October 30th by 11:50 Pacific Daylight time...that's the deadline to post your comment with your guess. I'll draw a name out of the correct answers and post the winner on Saturday...Halloween!

BTW, I'll post a pic of the entire project later...maybe on Halloween...it's almost complete!

Wow...lovely cards, Amy!! I have that Jilibean Soup paper too...it's from my Scarlet Lime kit :)

Gee...Sheila showed me the felt stickers just 2 weeks ago but I don't remember who made them. Was it Sassafrass? Or Basic Grey? Seriously, I don't remember...just a wild guess :)
yyam said…
Awesome cards my friend...especially the first one...I love how simple and eye-catching it is!

My guess on your project...
A magnetic calendar counting the days to Christmas?
Rose said…
fantastic cards! i guess a count down to Christmas board. :0)
LOL I always cry while watching grey's!!
itsallrosi said…
whoa, crazy text again!

love the card, and I'm guessing advent calendar!
Dora said…
Your card is outstanding!
Your answers crack me up;)
And the guess...I have no idea, maybe a calender?
Steph said…
More gorgeous cards - loving the kraft and black too :)

I do the same always making for others - I don't think I've ever kept anything for myself!

Everyone beat me to it - I was going to say an advent calendar too!

Looks fab. x
Martha said…
These cards are FAB, again Amy!!
Laurel said…
Wow, busy blog today! I love the cards, I have that Jillibean but haven't broke into it yet! Love your answers too!
Laurel said…
Oh and I forgot, did you make an Advent Calendar???
Courtney Baker said…
How cute! Both cards are so cute!
Sherry Eckblad said…
Amy, WOWZA fabulous cards and I also love that first one. My bad I haven't used my bloom set in a long time either.

Love those Mistletoe felties and I agree with the others ~ maybe you are doing a countdown to Christmas.

Thanks for the blog love will try and get to those questions.
Mandy said…

Awesome cards Amy! :) The first one is stunning in all it's simplicity! :)
cnelson said…
gorgeous....gorgeous cards! wow!
Lauren said…
Wonderful cards amy! I love the color combos.
Evelin said…
Dearie.... Love love love your cards!

Now that that's out of the way .... hmmmm, I'm guessing a magnetic calendar board? Those embellish looks Christmassy but I'm sure you'll spin something up and be able to use it all year round :P

So, is it a magnetic calendar board with pretty embellished magnets? :D
Winter said…
So cute! Both of the cards are great! I think they are felt ornaments! :)
Unknown said…
Great cards Amy!! Love those flowers! :)
ScrapMomOf2 said…
Cute cards!! I love them!

I love the Making Memories Mistletoe on the Advent Calender / Countdown to Christmas project! Gorgeous!! That's my guess!!
Aimes said…
Hey Amy! Firstly, your In Bloom card totally rocks! I love the decoupaged bloom and it goes so well with your bargain ribbon - bonus!
Well you just can't go wrong with Kraft, Black and sparkles on a card can you so I love your second card too!
As for a guess on your project - my mind thought advent calendar but now I'm thinking is that's too obvious?! Well I'll stick with it anyways! LOL!

Ginny Larsen said…
hehe! we commenters at the end have an easier go at "guessing" what your picture "might" be... advent calendar is my *guess*. lovely felties--basically any kind or felt sticker = amazing.

i LOVE both your cards--you use kraft SO well.

take care, and keep making time for yourself, it's important!
