hello - C4G #189

 Can you believe that 2022 is almost over?!?  This year has flown!  And it is time for another challenge over at Cardz 4 Galz.  Our theme for this final challenge of 2022 is "anything from 2022" so we want you to redo one of our themes for the year, but be sure to make it differently than before... we want a new make, no reposts.  

I chose to reuse challenge #180 from Aug 25... use 3 of anything.  I picked a stamp with 3 flowers.  

My image and sentiment are Honey Bee Stamps Framed Anemones.  I stamped the image, heat embossed it, and colored it with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I added a few sequins. 

Please come and play along with us at Cardz 4 Galz!  If you got any crafting goodies for Christmas, this would be a great challenge to play with them. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Charcuterie boards - TMS #689

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  You may wonder at the post title.  "Uhhh... how do have charcuterie boards in a sketch challenge??"  You don't.  This is our Annual Anything Goes challenge which literally means that anything crafty goes.  I decorated cutting/serving boards to make specialized charcuterie boards. :) 

I created each saying in Cricut Design Space, cut it using Cricut stencil material on my Cricut Maker, applied it to the board, painted the design, (removed the stencil), let it dry, lightly sanded it with 400 grit, then applied 3 coats of Butcher Block Oil.  

Great gifts for friends!

#letitsnow - C4G #188

Yes, please, let it snow!!  Though I don't have too much hope in southern OH. :/   

It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme is "fun in the snow," and I do believe that snowball fights are fun!  My girl is ready! #letitsnow

My colored digi is Emma & the Snowball from Fred, She Said Designs.  My paper is AC Jack Frost.  I cut out the image with Die-versions Stitches Circles.  The sentiment is FTHS, I think.  It's cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners.  The snowflakes are an old, old, old EK Success punch.  

Come play along at Cardz 4 Galz and show us how you like to have fun in the snow!

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!

JOY to the world - TMS #688

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I think I can finally say that this is the last Christmas card I'm making... at least this week! LOL 

My BG paper is Recollections Christmas Plaids.  I cut Poppystamps Double Joy die in a piece of EK Success Julianne.  My sentiment is Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps Nativity Sentiments is heat embossed in WOW White Pearl and cut out with Kat Scrappiness Stitched Fishtail Banners.  I added a few sequins because it needed just a little something more. 

Here's our sketch...

Snowflake Christmas - TMS #687

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I'm still making Christmas cards.  [And you probably will read that statement again in the coming days. :) ]

My paper is Echo Park Christmas, the snowflakes are Spellbinders Snowflakes, and the sentiment is Raisin Boat Formal Phrases that was stamped and heat embossed.  Easy peasy!  

Here's our sketch... that I obviously took literally! :)

Snowman Christmas - SCC #143

 Happy December!!  24 days until Christmas!!!  :)

It's time for another challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!  Our theme this month is "non-traditional colors."  I am very much a red and green Christmas kind of gal, but I do enjoy some non-traditional colors on cards.  Here's mine...

My paper is Crate Paper Snow and Cocoa, my snowman is Sizzix Snowman #7, the hills are Poppystamps Stitched Landscapes, and the sentiment is MME Holly Jolly.  This was easy, but it still cute and pretty flat, so very mailable. :)

If you're still making those cards, come and play along with us at Sparkles Christmas Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Four calling birds - C4G #187

Happy Thursday to you!  It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  (Can you believe it's December already??!?)  Our theme for this challenge is "anything from 'The 12 Days of Christmas.' "  

        On the twelfth day of Christmas

My true love gave to me

Twelve drummers drumming,

Eleven pipers piping,

Ten lords a-leaping,

Nine ladies dancing,

Eight maids a-milking,

Seven swans a-swimming,

Six geese a-laying,

Five golden rings,

Four calling birds,

Three French hens,

Two turtle doves,

And a partridge in a pear tree.  

I am currently without a printer so my options were a bit limited for this, but I made my card featuring the "4 calling birds" line from the song...

Paper - Dovecraft Winter Blooms

Stamps - Fiskars Build a Tree, MME Holly Jolly, Raisin Boat Wonderful Day

Dies - Find It Trading Holly Jolly Music, Spellbinders Squares and A2 Matting Basics

Embellies - sticker, ribbon, and sequins from my stash

We'd love to have you play along with us at Cardz 4 Galz!  But whether you get all your cards made or not, or all your shopping done or not, take time to remember the Babe in the manger Who came to die on the cross to give life to all who believe!  

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
