Blog War – Food/Recipe Theme }1

Hey hey hey I’m back into the blog war challenges, yippeeee!  (did I hear someone say “finally!” ?)

I did really miss participating but, well you know, life just gets in the way of crafting sometimes hee hee.  Speaking of which I would love to hear how you guys make time for craft.  Wether you’re a scrapper, sewer, knitter…we all need time to do our crafts but sometimes it just simply alludes us.  I find I am a lot happier if I’ve had time to use the creative part of my brain instead of just the boring bits!  So far I do not have my own system for finding time for craft.  Try as I might to be a highly organised person, I fall short more times than I’d like to admit.  So please, pretty please with a cross stitched cherry on top, please tell me how you do it?

Now on to today’s creation…

A lil’ cupcake card, sigh.  Do you love cupcakes too?  They seem to be very popular especially those highly decorated Martha-esque varieties!  My cupcake was clear embossed then coloured with aquacolor crayons.  I am still getting used to using them but I’m quite happy with the shade variations I achieved here.  Apologies for the blurries – took pic when got home from work and was a wee bit tired!

In case you need more cupcake love…

Chalks last stand {day 5}

TGIF!  Here is the last chalk project::

 

Chalk day 5

This little number was made with our pals Perfect Medium and chalk on black card.  For the little “photo” corners I used a rubber ahem eraser (sounds nicer right?), I also chalked the edges of the base card to soften it and add interest.  It’s those suble treatments that make all the difference don’t you think?  And if you think you are seeing rubber burn – you’re right!  It’s deliberate [of course] as I didn’t want it looking all perfect, it needed to be grunged up a bit.  Also I didn’t have matching ribbon so I used Fluid Chalk ink to tint it mauve.  Hurrah.  And a sparkly cherry on top!

I hope you had fun following me this week in my chalk inspired crafting.  If you’ve been breaking out the chalks leave a link in the comments below so we can check out your creations too.  No blog?  Just email me the photo evidence and I can post it up here for you. 

Make sure to tune in on Monday for a Brand New Product of the Week.  Yippee!

Tonight I have a little workshop running at my house [cheeky cards] and tomorrow is National Training.  all.  day.  long.  Waahoo can you tell I’m happy about this?  Stay tuned as there will be a New Kaszazz Product Release with brand new workshops too.

Can’t wait.

Can’t wait.

Can’t wait.
