Random Act of Cards, Week Two!

Hey there! I know most people's excitement of new things happens at Christmas, but this year, mine was this last weekend! Although I was dreaming of seeing the new releases at CHA in person, my reality wasn't far off! I spent a long weekend with my mom doing all things crafty. Shopping, scrapbooking, eating (HA! That's a real part of crafting in my books!), and introducing my mom to canvas work! We had a blast. I'll be showing you the little amount of work that I actually got done in the next week, but today I'm on to Week Two of my Random Act of Cards.
Last week's card met it's purpose perfectly. I got a note from the recipient that it came at the perfect time, just when they needed a little boost. That's exactly the main reason behind this adventure.

This week's card is a new one. I was trying to use up some scrap papers in my stash and came up with this creation. I love the little owl that my husband bought for me (he has good taste!). Let's hope week two goes as well as week one!

 

 

I still have spots available on my recipient list, so if you're interested in getting one of my Random Acts of Cards, leave your email address in a comment here and I'll email you for your address!

Random Acts of Cards, Week One!

Hello, and Happy New Year!! The Deeply Rooted house was crazy busy over the holidays, first getting the nasty stomach bug that has been traveling around, then with the holiday family get togethers and parties. Everyone had a great, safe time!
One of my New Years goals this year was to actually USE the cards that I love so much to make. I'm really great about making the cards, but then they tend to sit in a photo box, tucked away in the abyss of my crafting land. The first card I'm sending is one that you've already seen on here, but we're revisiting it for week one of my year-long Random Acts of Cards.

This is Girly Face. I made this card back in August, and I love how she turned out! Here's a recap of the instructions and materials:
"This little Girly Face was sketched onto a dictionary page and cut out. I used Faber Castell gelatos for the cheeks, and I used Faber Castell Artist Big Brush Pens to color the scrap doily hair. Buttons for eyes, scrap papers from My Mind's Eye (Stella Rose) for the backgrounds, paper tape from Recollections for decoration and Thickers letters complete the card. I adhered everything with Mini Glue Dots."


So, week one, done! One of you can expect this cute thing to end up in your mail box in a few days! I have a big list running of recipients for the year, but I have a few spaces I need filled. If you'd like to be added onto my Random Acts of Cards list, let me know! Leave me a comment here with your email address and I'll get in touch with you to get your address.


Until next week, get out there and send those cards!
