Can't leave well enough alone...

That's right, I just can't. I could not make up my mind on how I wanted my blog to look, so I've been messing with it and changing it ALOT these last few days. I think that's why I havent put up an actual blog post, sorry about that. I think I really like the way it looks now, so I think I'll be leaving it this way for a bit. Although... I think I'm going to change up my music a little. We'll see.
Well, The Greeting Farm had one of their Farm Fresh Friday challenges and it was a sketch. Here is the sketch:
And here is my entry: Andrew totally inspired this card. I told him I had no inspiration for the sketch and I didn't know what to do and he said "Well, make these three circles into stars." And that's how this whole card started! I used Space Ian since I haven't put him on a card yet. The "moon" is a diecut that was sent to me in a Blog Candy from Diana Gibbs. The ribbon was also given to me by my neighbor before she moved. The star brads are making memories and the star paper is from the DCWV rockstar pack. Oh, the dark grey paper is Stampin' Up! Here is the inside of the card:
I cut the crescent moon out of the other half of the diecut circle that the half moon on the front of the card came from. The rocket ship and star trail is from a Studio G clear stamp set and I wrote in the sentiment. I wrote a little personal note in the card and left it in Andrew's room for him to find when he woke up this morning. He really liked it :)
So, remember the Post it note holder I made with Pink Dahlia? Here is one that I made with Teal Annika!

I really love how her hair came out. I wanted to match it to the Post it notes, and it worked! The flowers were all made using Sunny Glen Designer paper from The Greeting Farm and brads from Basic Grey. It came out so nicely that I don't know if I'll be able to part with it, lol! I do have one more note holder that I made and one waiting in the wings... so as soon as I finish up the last one, I'll post them both for you all to see.
I hope you liked todays post, and come back again soon! OH!!! I just noticed on my profile page that I had 1,000 visitors to it! So I decided to check how many hits I've had to my blog and I've had over 8,900! Wow! Thanks so much for coming by and making my hit counter move up. As soon as I hit 10,000 I'm going to have a blog candy and I have lots of yumminess in store for it too!
Until next post, be blessed!
