My Year In Review... 2011

This is my second post for today.

I'm really enjoying the "year in 

review" posts so many of you have done, so I thought I'd give it a shot, too. I hope you'll like looking through some of my favorites I've created for my first blogging year... 2011.

The Kraft Journal Challenge #42 and The Penmaker's Fountain Pen

"Anything Goes"

at The Kraft Journal this week.

The perfect challenge for my little pizza box that I learned to make here. I have been hanging out on You Tube for the last month, finding tons of great crafting ideas. When Sherry posted this one, I just had to try it.

The box is made from Basic

Grey's Oxford "Lacrosse" and the band is my favorite Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock and Basic

Grey's Oxford "Sorority". 

I made the flower using Tim 

Holtz Tattered Florals Sizzix Die with a sheet of copper and the Lacrosse DP. I inked the edges with Old Paper Distress Ink. For the leaves, I used Tim's Movers & Shapers Mini Branch & Leaf Set, cutting them from the copper. I then dabbed on some Oregano Alcohol Ink to give it some texture and a bit of color. 

The stained grungy tag is one 

from the Designers Assortment. My sentiment is from an old Sweet 'n Sassy set stamped with Vintage Photo DI. The rhinestone is from Recollections.

Hope you''ll join the challenge!

Now, I just have to show you

this fabulous fountain pen the Penmaker created for a dear friend.

The wood is Amboyna Burl.

The works are an "Elegant" component set... Titanium Gold and Rhodium.

Thanks for stopping today... 

Hugs to all!
