Girly Hair items. Fund raising

So these are the girly hair items that have been taking all of my time. I think I have done in excess of 50 pairs. Rebecca and I determined a price point of 2.00 a pair. They were a lot of work and I was thinking $3.00 but everyone I showed them to said they were worth $2.00. The cost of supplies was minimal and we'll call my time a wash.

My creative time throwback Thursday challenge

GOOD TO BE BACK!!!!

had time to squeeze in a challenge last night. Just about ready to call time of Death on the girly hair items that I have been putting together. Now Becca needs a poster for her fund raising booth. And mind you I have DONE NOTHING to get ready for my crop weekend away. I think I feel a couple of sick days coming on. This weekend is the last big push and as of right now the only thing I have to do it Pick up my brothers dog at the Kennel on Saturday am.

Anyway onto the challenge. Use any older cart of your choice and use green. This is what I came up with. I have been on a bender that an 8 x 8 sheet of card stock folded in half makes a lovely card that fits in a Business envelope. enjoy!

::::::: Sigh::::::::::

I am finding myself in withdrawal. I will not be participating in any upcoming challenges ( No creative exercise for me) I have be furiously working on projects for the upcoming Missions Market to help send my friend Rebecca to Haiti and New Orleans on Missions trips. She is giving up 2 weeks of her life ( one week in each place) busting her butt helping out others, no relaxing on the beach for her. It was about a year ago that I too went on my First Missions trip and unfortunately due to a schedule conflict I will not be able to go this year. Anyway I will be offering Becca, several different style book marks, Wine Charms, and the cards that I have done for challenges and Girly hair items. Becca is doing some Flower Pens (so silly cute) And Our friend Mellisa is doing cupcakes she can be found here http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1302686213#!/pages/Melissas-Cake-Creations/288361686437.

On a different note Em of Auntie Em did a video for us last weekend I just have to to edit and post it. So Stinkin cute.

I hope to post at the very least some Pictures of items done for the Missions market. And I am trying to talk Becca into doing a How to Video on the flower pens.

The items for the missons seems to involve a lot of trips to the craft store for items to just finish up..... Last nights shopping trip of $20.00 quickly turned into $40.00 when I purchased 3 more DCWV paper packs. I think I may try and sue them for Financial distress, but there papers are just SO AWESOME i can't say no.

Till next time.

365 Cards Challenge Day 14

One of the challange this week was to do 3 x 3 cards which I had never done or heard of but once I got going it was addictive. I think this week I might go on tag tear and do up some gift tags and see what happens again it's all about different items to sell at the missions market.

This challenge was Fresh Baked goodness. This 3 x 3 card was created using a rubber stamp and Ranger Perfect pearls to stamp it. Because the base card stock was a little slick and dark I added a liner to the inside of this gem.

365 Cards Challenge Day 20

The challenge was to follow the sketch. Using some brads and glitter glue this is my creation. I am not sure if you can tell in the picture but the stamped butterfly was enhanced with glitter glue. I was really please with the way this card came out.

365 Cards Challenge Day 16

The challenge was to be inspired by the abstract image. Using my Gypsy and the Gypsy Wanderings cart I selected the Butterfly and then turning off the ratio I distorted the image. I add some ribbon at the bottom. I loved the printed paper as that also looked rather abstract. I used some viva decor glitter liner in the corners just to spruce it up.
