Its Challenge time

Yayyy I think I am officially back in the game. I have been posting for a few consecutive days now and it really feels great ! I find it amazing though how much things change in just a year. I went to do some of my favorite challenges only to discover most are now "discontinued" as sad as that makes me I have also found some really fabulous new challenges to partake in. For this post I used one of my fav. blogs Mojo Monday , I was relieved to still find them up and at it. For me the biggest problem in my crafting is that some weeks I am so creative I surprise myself and others I sit at my chair staring at the computer waiting for a Creative little fairy to sprinkle some Mojo dust over my head lolol. Anyway today I also tried a new challenge "Runway Inspired Challenge #21" I really love how all their challenges are just as the title suggest Runway Inspired. 

Ten min. craft dash challenge

Hey again, ok this is crazzyyyyyy I can not believe I am actually making a second post. Yes my friends 2 posts in ONE day ! I don't remember the last time I did that haha. Ok well this post is for an awesome challenge that is not only literally a color challenge but also a REAL challenge. Its from the Pretty Pink Posh blog challenge called "Ten minute craft dash"! The challenge is exactly as its name entails... You get ten minutes to create a card... So for my first attempt at this challenge I was feeling pretty confident... I liked the color pallet and have been making some cards using craft red and aqua... I guess I didn't realize how quickly ten minutes goes you need to cut trim measure make bows... etc etc... Oh and come up with an idea ... So I wanted to do a money holder and I admit I was a little cocky and I am trying to make bulk lately so I challenged myself to make two cards in ten minutes.... Okay that didn't happen I started off really well until I needed to add a bow...punch out a design and measure it all... so I stopped doing two half way through bc I realized that would not be happening under ten mins. and ended up doing One and a half in 10 minutes 4 seconds... Oh and I forgot to mention I was watching the VOICE ! OMG I love that show. It is addicting anyway I ended up finishing my second card and in total It took just under twenty minutes... I loved partaking in this challenge it really was hard to do and I loved the colors I took the picture using my phone sorry for the quality its late and I dont know where my sd card for my camera is =( ! wahooooooo though for another post. 

Stars and COlor Challenge

Hey guys its Ashley, I had the time to make a cute little boy *or girls Birthday gift card. I followed and played along with the EmbellishCardsMagazine Stars Color trend challenge. I love the color combo its always my go to boys color pallete. I have been MIA for a while but I have been coming back and I find myself excited to craft again. I was also invited by a friend to do a craft fair this weekend so that really inspired me to get crafting !!!! I can not wait to share and post pictures from this upcoming Sunday. I have never done a craft fair before so this is very very very exciting for me... Anyway I hope you like it and leave lots of comments I love getting to know fellow bloggers and appreciate all comments. Until the next post ... HUGSSSS***

Polka Doodles Fun

Good afternoon Blogfriends ! Wow it has been a while. I have gotten caught up in LIFE. As you all know I moved last year to NY to pursue my skating dreams... My new training regiment is very intense and well worth it however, I find myself EXHAUSTED come the end of the day and by then I hardly have the energy to crawl into bed let alone craft much. I am slowly finding the time and I thoroughly enjoy it when I do get a chance to craft and create. Hopefully soon I will be back up to posting weekly! Anyway, Polka Doodles has a challenge this week to make a card while incorporating the color teal and using you favorite holiday as the theme. As a part of the DT I just couldn't resist this one. All of the products used are from the polka doodles website. I hope you like it and would love for you to join in on the fun!
