✂️🎨Crafting Joy With Craft Roulette — Come Join In ✂️🎨

I participate in a very fun weekly card making challenge on YouTube called

CRAFT ROULETTE 

It was started by Mary Gunn and her son Stephen the very day the world went on "Covid lockdown"! It's been going on ever since!

What is Craft Roulette?

Every episode, Mary spins a wheel to randomly determine four paper-crafting challenge parameters. These unexpected combinations spark creativity and push crafters of all skill levels to think outside the box. She invites a special guest to join her as they create their cards live during the show!

Element

Random

When you have completed your card, you can send it in digitally...and the following week your card is in the showcase gallery where you can see all of the cards that have been sent in for that week. 

People play from all over the world!

In addition, at the end of each show Mary spins the roulette wheel with everyone's name who participated in that challenge and 4-5 names are chosen at random to receive a prize. 

It's all fun with no right or wrong - and no winners or losers (except for the prizes of course)

AND IT'S FREE!

There is even an optional birthday club.

I received so many handmade cards for my birthday last year!

Here is my card for THIS week.  

You can interpret the parameters however they work for you - the only rules are that the card must be handmade, follow the parameters and be "family friendly".

The parameters last Friday were:

Project

Interactive card

Colors

Summer

Element

Here comes the bride

Random

Ink edging

My card is "Interactive" (Parameter #1) as the flower actually spins.

Blue and Green are very much "Summer Colors" Parameter #2

The "Here Comes the Bride" parameter #3 Something borrowed...something blue!

And the final Parameter #4 "Ink Edging" That was done around the hello sentiment.

If you like to make cards or if you think you might like to try it out...

Join Mary and a whole slew of fellow crafters on Friday nights at 4:30 Pacific Time.

It's truly a lot of fun!

❤️🤍💙 “Stars, Stripes & Sardines???” ❤️🤍💙

 I don't think I have ever re-posted a previous post here on my blog...

But I felt this fun bit of 4th of July creativeness deserved to shine again. 

Hope you agree! 

 Here are some fun creations I made to decorate for the 4th of July holiday.

I eat a lot of sardines - 

they are healthy for you and I actually love them.

So, I got to thinking...

what could I do with all those empty cans?

Sardine Can Creations of course.

Made with none other than empty sardine cans!

Isn't the little pie cute? 

And what is more American than red, white, blue and apple pie!

And millions of Americans go camping for the 4th of July holiday,

so here is a mini camper diorama.

Here are some others I have made.

"Hello Sweet Pup"

"Just Dance"

Not 4th of July - but still a fun one for a little dance enthusiast.

I really had fun making these. What do you think?

Have a Cozy + Crafty 4th of July!
