[gallery] Hey everyone! I've been on a little hiatus lately as I've been putting all my time and energy into another business. Hopefully after the start of the New Year I will be able to start getting some more posts up! I have not been doing any card sketches since I was not getting any entries after doing them for a good month and a half, so maybe in the future I can take a look at doing them again. In the meantime, feel free to check out the neat headbands that I have been making at www.InStyleBands.com and my facebook page, where I post new colors etc at www.Facebook.com/InStyleBands Thank you and have a wonderful Holiday Season! Jayni Above is a sample of what I have made and that is available for purchase :)

Facebook Giveaway!

Hey crafting buddies! I just wanted to let everyone know that I am doing a giveaway on my Facebook Page for my headbands. Once I hit 50 followers on that page, I will do a drawing for 2 Fashion Headbands, or Sweatbands in the colors of your choice (from what I have made) If you haven't checked out the Headbands that I make, now is a great time to stop on by :) Here is the link https://www.facebook.com/InStyleBands?sk=app_228910107186452 Thank you, Jayni

Card Sketch Challenge 09-17-2012

Hello again crafters! It's Monday again, and as I promised last week, I am posting a new Card Sketch Challenge today. I still have not completely decided where we are going to go with the challenges for now, so I am just going to continue posting them and let them evolve as we hopefully get more participation. The challenge for today is a design that I have been using as my fall back card for the last year or so, it is simple design and easy to do, and I've been waiting to use this as one of my sketches :) This week I am not going to post a cutoff date either, so just like any challenge you can use it at any time - BUT If we do start getting some more participants I will go ahead and post the best ones on my blog for everyone to see! To post your card, you can upload it to my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MyCreativeExposure.com or put a direct link to your card in the comment section. Below is my card, and I sure hope to see some cards from my readers very soon.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and HAPPY CRAFTING! Jayni

Hey Crafters, I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend :) I am completely exhausted from our mini vacation! So here is the sketch for this week, things are still pretty slow on submissions. I am hoping that we will get some cards to start posting, and I will keep putting up the challenges and hopefully it will pick up so I can share your cards on here. I don't have a video or card for you today with this challenge, I will do what I can to get that added on, but time was tight with being out-of-town :) No theme for this challenge, I will take submissions until Thursday September 14th and can be posted on my Facebook page or through a link to your own blog or photo hosting in the comment section. Happy Crafting! Jayni

I wanted to share with you how I take pics of my cards and the setup I use that literally costs me less than $1 - I just set up a white piece of tagboard that I purchase from Target or the craft store and lean it against the wall, the way the tagboard rolls from the wall to the table makes it look seemless when taking pictures. Here is a picture of it...

Hi Crafters! Unfortunately we haven't gotten a lot of card submissions for the sketch challenges, so I am gonna try something different this week for my challenge. There will not be an actual sketch this week, instead I will take posts on my Facebook page for your best and most recent card, and post some top ones on the blog next Friday the 21st. I hope this will stir some of you up to share some cards! Until then I hope to see some great inspiration from all you crafters :) Thanks for stopping by! Jayni
