Falling for you

Here's a beautiful image called 1920s Flapper Girl from artist SLS Schiebe.  She had a wonderful store SLS Lines on Etsy.  This awesome image is one theme that you will find, gorgeous women.  She also has some fun and humorous stamps as well as some gorgeous floral type images.

I am using some awesome Turkish lace that I got on a trip to Istanbul many years ago.  There's a contest going on over at the SLS Lines Challenge blog that started on the 20th. Drop by over there and share a card with us.

Question of the day:  How many cards do you make a month?  how many other art projects do you make a month?

  2. Love that image! I don't craft daily, but when I do make cards I make 4 - 6 at a time. So perhaps 6 - 18 a month. I usually also start 3 - 5 canvas at a time and do up to 6 of those a month. My portraits can't be done in one sitting, neither can my mixed medias. I also usually have a large project going on at the same time as everything else (a zentangle table with stamped images, etc) that is ongoing until finished. That isn't actually a direct answer to your question, but it varies.

  10. I make about 10-12 cards a month. Sometimes when trying out a new technique that I like, I make multiple cards in that style. I make more birthday cards than any other kind. Nice color scheme and layout on your card.

  11. Some months I only make one or two cards and other months I might make 100 or more. Depends on my mood and whether I NEED a specific card or not.
    I make at least 4-5 other projects each month though. Some take me weeks to finish and others can be done in a day or two.
    I have really gotten to the point that I am loving the OTP and BTP projects more than cards but still enjoy cardmaking to relax me!
    Hope the winners all claim their prizes so you can clean up that list! Have a great day!!!

  12. Fun card, and great choice of colours Holley. That dress length would have raised some scandalised eyebrows back in the Roaring Twenties!

    I made 5-10 cards, sometimes less, sometimes more :D, other projects, when I have enough time

  15. This is a terrific card. I love the image. I belong to several cardmaking groups, so I try to make 5+ each month. I am also trying to do 5 or more Christmas cards a month this year so that I don't get bogged down at the end of the year as usual. It was a challenge in one of my groups.

  16. A really great card, love this fun image and the red and black. I guess I make about 12-15 cards a month but wish I had time to make more. Cathy x

  18. Beautiful Card Holley... Well sexy and spicey too. I like it alot. I don't make as many cards as I use too. I'm down to rprobably 1 a month. But I make all kinds of other crafty projects too. So I would guess maybe 15 a month. Depends on the length it takes to make them. I do canvas art and now beginning to make crocheted animals.

  19. Lovely card! Love the die you used.

  20. Very pretty! I like the flapper style! Your lace is gorgeous! I just saw my name on the winner's list - Yay! I'll email you shortly! Thank you! As for how many cards I make a month, depending on my health, it could be anywhere between 5-30. I don't usually make projects other than cards, so I'll say none for that one.

  21. Typically I only make a few greeting cards a month. I make a few dozen artist trading cards though. I am about to start my oldest son's invitations, RSVP and thank you cards for his wedding in October, and our youngest son's graduation announcements for may as well though. The number of cards is going to be really high for the next several months! Lol

    I love the flapper image! I will be very sad when all of that gorgeous lace comes to an end. I enjoy seeing it in your work so very much!

    Hope you have a terrific day today Holley!

  31. Lovely card, it really does take you back to the flapper days.

  33. Love, love, love that lace. I remember when you went to Istanbul. I can't believe you still have some left! I create between 8-12 cards a month, and try to create a canvas or water coloring or alter some art.

  34. Fabulous card and image. Have a good weekend xx Jan

  35. Love that image and wow that lace is gorgeous. Must have been fun to go to Istanbul. It depends on the month how many cards I make. June is my worst month because I'm a program director for a Girl Scout Day Camp and I don't have a lot of time. I try to make 15-20 cards a month but after I retire I want to do lots more and then donate. I do work on other projects. Usually crochet and cross stitch but they are usually much bigger projects and take lots longer.

    ReplyDelete
  36. What a beautiful addition to your card Holley. That lace is so pretty and adds to the energy of your design. I also love black, red and white together. My crafting time is less than I'd like but I usually make about 10 cards a month.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Cute card! The lace is the perfect accent - it fits perfectly with the flapper! I usually make most of my cards in the summer when I'm off, but try to do 5-7 a month. Same goes for my other crafting.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Really Pretty Flapper Luv the Red and Black with the white! The Turkish lace is beautiful. I love to use lace a lot too. If I have a good month I would wind up with about 24 cards, and about 6 layouts. I also do other types of crafting and have been making things for my new bathroom.

  39. A gorgeous card Holley. I love the fabulous flapper image. Your lace is beautiful and that sentiment die-cut is wonderful.
    My card making depends on how many birthdays, commissions and demonstrations I have coming up. It must be around 40 on average. I love creating mixed media and home decor projects and usually have something on the go as well xx

  40. OOOOoooo I do love this one.

  42. Lovely Card with Beautiful Embellishments!
    My Card making is still a Work In Progress - still kinda a Newbie!!!
    LOVE seeing other Creative & Pretty Creations!!!

  43. Oolala! That sassy flapper makes me want to dance! I too have some nice pieces of woven lace and trim but just can't seem to bring myself to use it! Oh my... As for cards, I make between 15 and 25 cards a month because I love entering challenges. Now if I can just remember to send them out!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Red and black together makes for a really striking look. You card looks great.

    My crafting numbers varies grately depending on my health. On a really good day I might make a dozen or more cards or several pieces of jewellery or other crafting. But at my worse I can do no crafting for several weeks. I've always got some larger projects on the go but it can take me more than a year to finish. So I can't give a specific answer to your question I'm afraid, just - it varies.

    ReplyDelete
  45. OOOH, my fave color scheme and it works so well with the fab image. Gotta say that lace is to die for. My production depend on the month and how involved the projects are. I cut down to only 2 DT's now so I have some time to play just for fun. xxD

  48. such a sweet and sassy card, I LOVE it....I couldn't even begin to tell you how many ATCs I make a month. I participate in as many swaps as I can. I can't even ballpark it..lol

    ReplyDelete
  49. Great card! Love the image and your coloring.
    Some month I make 10 cards, some others 20 and very rarely around 30. Lately I am not doing much other kind of crafts, but I should, I have lots of projects in mind!!!

    ReplyDelete
  50. Now that's a flirty card, Holley :) I probably make about 10 cards a month, several coloring book pages, several art journal pages, and tons of Zentangle tiles.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Gorgeous - what a fun image and you coloured her perfectly :-D
    Well - I am not sure ...... sometimes I can get card orders but I guess I make something every day... either a card or and ATC or something arty. :-) Now I am retired I can do whatever grabs my mood every day :-D

  52. Adorable! The amount of catds I make a month varies. During the colder months I tend to do a lot of crocheting so, while I color a lot of images they don't find their way onto a project until a later date. But on the average, I would say, I make between 5 - 7 cards a month.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hi Holley - I am late in posting to this question, but wanted to get my answer in. I usually make at least a dozen cards a month. I also quilt, scrapbook, cook and read - in addition to working!

    I used to make a lot more cards in a month - now, maybe 4 but I work on Zentangle and Zentangle Inspired Art (ZIA) and drawing projects - I always have something on the go!
