City Crafter Challenge Blog week 117 ~ Recipe Card

This week at

City Crafter Challenge Blog

Linda is our host, she wants us to make a recipe card, what a fun challenge

I used a rolodex index card for this one

after I am done with the cover, I started working with the different categories as well as the recipe cards

next is to find a place to store the recipe cards, I thought of a Rodolex but changed my mind when I found this cute little napkin stand at the thrift store for just 0.25

dress it up a little bit

now I am happy......

Please stop by

City Crafter Challenge Blog

We have the amazingly talented Lauren Bergold as our guest this week, and you will also be stunned with the wonderful work created by our fabulous design team members

Come on, hop over now!!!! (LINK)

City Crafter Challenge Blog - card #2

I bought my very first PTI impression plate weeks ago and was trying to use it on this card I originally made for the challenge at

City Crafter Challenge Blog

"Hello Doily"

but the plate did not work out well with my cuttlebug and I really do not like the outcome of this card

but I post it anyway, LOL!

Well, I hope this will take you to check the challenge out, you still have some time to play along with us at City Crafter Challenge Blog

Our fabulous sponsor for this challenge

Our sponsor this month is Heidi Myers, an amazing artist teaching her craft through The Art Studio via Scrapbook News & Review! The winner will get a pass to Part 2 - the narrative and art portion of the online class Words. Words? Words! - Words and Text as Narrative and as Art. This class is valued at $29.99.

You’ll explore the use of words and text to create art just as you would use acrylic paints, ink, paper mache or other art mediums. Words will become both background and focal point. You’ll use text to create and enhance embellishments and you’ll identify 10 ways to mold words into foundations for your art. You’ll also create your own word art and you’ll begin to view everyday props as vehicles to exhibit and enhance your stories

Words. Words? Words! - Words and Text as Narrative and as Art is a four-week workshop broken in two parts. Register for both parts one and two at the same time anytime between July 6th and July 19th for a 10% discount. Use the promo code WWW612 when purchasing.
