Thursday November 8, 2018

 

I made this card for Pause Dream Enjoy but the blog is now closed for personal reasons.. I guess this is an awesome sentiment because I am so incredibly grateful for blog friends, design team members and just people you wouldn't meet outside of blog land in most cases.  I feel very blessed. You're all in my prayers.

I am using Simon Says stamps. I stamped the image on water color paper and using Mission paints I colored in the scene. I added some puffy acorn stickers by Little B..  This was such a fast card to make.. which is good this time of the year.

Warmest winter wishes - The Merry Christmas challenge #25

Wednesday June 20, 2018

 

Hello and hope you're having a great June and enjoying your June weather.  Are you getting ready for a vacation or on one? I hope you have time to craft..

The Merry Christmas challenge #25

The theme is ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES + CHRISTMAS

starting July 15th we will be going to a monthly challenge. The 15th of each month. It's still ATG  Christmas

 

I was going through my rack of dies and saw this fire place die from Taylored Expressions.. I had to use it.. So I used some Quick Quote scraps and die cut the pieces out.. I used some Ranger ink to distress the edges. I loved this piece when it was put together.. Then I looked at more scraps an used the dotted dp for the flooring. I used this Simon Says dp I got a long time ago and used it for the wall paper look. (I used this earlier paper June 6th)..  I then stamped the Paper Trey ink sentiment and added the wreath from Little B. I stamped the Mama Elephant images and colored with Zig water color brushes and added them to the card. I used a little stickles on the fire.  I hope I have inspired you to make a Christmas card and join in the challenge.

Joy - The Merry Christmas challenge #23

Wednesday June 6, 2018

 

Woo hoo June is here and that means warmer weather and time to enjoy our deck again. We had a deck added late last summer and with the nice long summer we had we got to enjoy it but now we get a longer time to enjoy. Time to stamp up a bunch of images and take out and paint/color as I set out on the deck. I love that. The country life is so quiet an beautiful to look at. But for now it's time for another challenge at

The Merry Christmas challenge #23

 

our theme is   ALWAYS ANYTHING GOES + CHRISTMAS

 

In the box I talked about a couple weeks ago I found these antler stickers by My Minds Eyes (among other stickers in it the same pack) so I took My Favorite Things alphabet dies and cut out the joy. I added the die letters to foam and added to the card base. I then added the antlers. I used Simon Says hills die and using silver shinny paper added this to the bottom. I added some trees by Little B and added a Mama Elephant deer colored with copics. I thought the background needed more so I used some Simon Says hearts cut from Gold foil paper same I used for the Joy.
