Village

Village - Hello friends. I have a new project for you. I made this supper cute village scene for my design team project for Crafts 4 Eternity. Our challenge this week is Winter Wonderland. 

For my little winter village, I use the die that is in the Tinsel and Tags market kit. I love this little house die. The always turn out so cute. I used the stamps with a variety of  distress inks. Then folded them and added some "ice" Stickles. So fun.

I also used different colors of card stock for the houses. It is surprising how different the inks look on kraft verses white. The kit also had these dies that you can layer up, but I just folded them up to make some scenery for my village.

My grandchild loved seeing this. 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my fun little village and hope to have you play along with us at Crafts 4 Eternity.

Blue Sprinkled

Blue Sprinkled - This is my 2 challenges for one card week. This weeks challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity is Tic Tac Toe!!! I went with Something Old (the papers are scraps) Something Blue, and Something New (this was a kit that I recently received from Paper Trey Ink. I am in love with this kit. I have made several shaker boxes with it.

The challenge at Alphabet Challenge Blog is O for Ombre'. It was my turn to pick, so I really hope that you like it and come and play with us. I also get to select the top 3. 

What is Ombre'? It is not monochromatic, but graduating shades of a single color.

 This time I remembered to add the sprinkles before I sealed it up. I still can't believe that I forgot the sprinkles on my last shaker card.

Scatter

Scatter - Time for another challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity!!! This time we are looking for Banners and Bunting!!!! I know that lots of you love to use them on your cards and pages, and I can't wait to see what you come up with!

For my card I started with the some paper that came in Paper Trey Inks Shakers and Sprinkles market kit. I am in love with this kit!!! It came with papers, dies, stamps and a box of sprinkles!!!! 

I stamped the words directly on the back ground paper, then built my shaker box using the dies. Notice what is inside my shaker box? No you are not going blind. I forgot to add the sprinkles!!! I tried to take it apart and add them, but the foam is very tacky and I could not. 

So what did I do? I added them to the outside. Not what I envisioned when I was planning this card, but I do still like the way it came out.

Here are my banners. I inked all papers with Gathered Twigs distress ink
