Toadily Happy Easel Card

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! Whether your a new Mother, a grandmother, or maybe your babies are furry friends. I hope you had a fulfilling and happy weekend! But now my favorite day of the week is here! It is Monday! Woo-Hoo! What is so great about Monday, you ask. It is time for the Greeting Card Challenge at The Outlawz! Once again I have created a card using scraps. This time my scraps are from frogs that I cut out last Spring 2010. I have been going crazy over what I have learned over the past month. I learned how to whip up an easel card and I had no idea how easy it is! I was so intimidated by the project. Now I can't stop wanting to make another and another! I do hope you will consider joining us over at The Outlawz and show us your stuff! :D

Angela B. said...: Thank you Brenda! I like to use each scrap to its fullest! Lol! Not much into buying more and papers when I have so many to go through and very little space for my crafting. So I save everything in hopes to find a use for it and once again my pack rat skills have paid off! :D; May 8, 2011 at 11:13 PM
Anonymous said...: How adorable, love this idea, such a cute card. I'm like you on the limited space and few papers, I save my scraps to use too. :); May 9, 2011 at 6:31 AM

Anniebee said...: This is a really cute card, Angela! I don't think I have ever seen a tall easel card like this but I really like it! I think I'm going to have to try one for myself. I'm a paper saver and hoarder so I always have tons of little scraps to use on my cards.It's a good thing I had a good stash too because I lost my job last August and haven't found a new one yet. That means no budget for crafting so all the bits and pieces have come in very handy lately.

Angela B. said...: Thanks Lori, Trina, & Anniebee for the comments! I'm so sorry to hear about your job Anniebee. I closed my business about 6 years ago and have been relying on my hubby for my crafty $$$. He goes through money like oxygen so I try to save where ever I can and if that means reinventing a new life for something then I will do it! :D; May 10, 2011 at 9:52 AM

Introduction

I’m Angela, the crafty gal behind Taste of Craftiness. I started this blog on February 5th 2010. My paper crafting hobby really began when I found Marty Horn, a veteran who started Anysoldier.com and in his forums I found the Anysoldier Card swaps. The group bought or hand made cards to send to each other to include in care packages we would send overseas to our chosen Anysoldier.com soldiers serving. The card swaps fizzled after almost 10 years going strong. I then joined in paper craft challenges. I have been at Outlawz Challenges since 2011. I am at Outlawz Challenges for the Twisted Thursdays design team. I do love to make all sorts of crafts. If you’re looking for a fun paper or digital card challenge, interested in being a guest designer for our challenges, any crochet patterns for your family or your home, I’ve got you covered! When there’s not a paper cutter or crochet hook in my hand, you can find me painting, reading, or snuggling with my two cats or playing with my two fluffy Pomeranians.

A Little Taste of Everything!
