Miss Talking to You

It felt good to get back into the scraproom again (thank goodness for scheduled posts!). The start of back to school has been a busy one and I have not been able to do much in the way of my crafts. Not only that, but we had our Fall Fair here on the weekend so that took up some time (Danica entered a few things ... I got first with my House mini album, some scrapbook pages, cards and the Boo Box. Danica got firsts on her things too!) I am hoping that things are sort of settling out now and I will be able to craft more regularly again!

So with such little time, I wanted to incorporate as much as I could into one card, and I am happy with the end product. First of all the sketch is from a new Challenge site I discovered called Crazy 4 Challenges - having blogger trouble so I am not able to load the sketch but you can see it here. I then included the 365 Challenge Make a Mosaic - fit perfectly with the sketch! Next another 365 Card Challenge which is today's challenge - It's What's inside that counts (must include 'miss you' on the inside of the card). I'm not finished though, it is also for the Moxie Fab Challenge - Around the House Challenge - however do any of us even have this type of phone around??? Finally, it is also for the Pile it On Challenge - Black and White with a pop of color! 5 Challenges in one. Not bad for a 15 minute card hey?

The phone and the 'bubble talk' are mounted with foam squares. I cut the talking bubble out of some of the pattern paper.
Now for the inside of the card. I am going to send to my friend who I hardly ever see (we don't live in the same town) nor do we talk much anymore. So sad.
Pattern Paper: American Crafts (teen)
Cardstock: Close to My Heart

  16. I was honestly wondering just how in the world you were still able to do so much creating with the start of the school year. Never occurred to me that you would schedule posts. Duh, me!

    I love how unique and creative you are as well as varied in your creations!
