hello friend - C4G #210

 Hello!  Today, I've got my card for our next challenge at Cardz 4 Galz!  Our theme is "dogs or puppies."  Here's my little canine...

My cute little doggie is from Fred, She Said Winter Westie.  My DP is Heidi Grace Daydream.  My sentiment is Honey Bee Stamps Framed Anemones.  I cut the image and sentiment with Die-versions Stitched Circles.  The bow is a piece of ribbon from my stash. 

We'd love to have you come and play along at Cardz 4 Galz!

Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day! 

#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!

Do you want to throw a snowball? - TMS #604

 Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  As the weather is getting warmer, I've got a wintery card to share. LOL

My DP is the Paper Studio Pine St Square.  My image is a pre colored digi "Emma & the Snowball" from Fred, She Said.  Doesn't she look like she's ready to hit someone with that snowball??!?  My sentiment is Raisin Boat.  It's cut out with a fishtail banner from Spellbinders Lacey Pennants.  My ricrac is MFT Die-namics Stitched RicRac. 

Here's our fun sketch... (I missed the bow element!  Oops!)

Fall thank you

It's finally feeling like fall!  Yay for sweaters and boots and caramel corn! :)
This year our leaves are a little slower turning than usual, but it looks like we are going to have a beautiful year!

I've had both this image and sentiment sitting on my table for awhile, and since I'm trying to use up all the piles of images, die cuts, and scraps, I searched for challenge inspiration and finally put this one on a card...

The colors don't clash IRL, I promise! :/

My image is a colored digi from Fred, She Said.  It's cut out with CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles.  It's on a panel of DCWV corrugated paper.  "Thank You" is Spellbinders Die D-Lites Sentiments 6.


Challenges...
If You Give A Crafter A Cookie #104 - photo inspiration
Creative Knockouts #266 - lots of layers
4 Crafty Chicks #423 - something old is new (the corrugated paper is OLD!!)
Aud Sentiments #213 - use 2-word sentiment
Die Cut Divas - autumn or halloween


Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!!

Masculine birthday - TMS #469

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!  I've got a bright and fun masculine birthday card for you today.  Masculine cards are always a challenge for me.  I feel like they turn out either too dark and dull or too feminine. *shrug* I suppose this could be given to a lady, but it definitely seems masculine enough for a man.  

The truck is a colored digi from Fred, She Said.  My DP is the Paper Studio Linen Door.  The scribbled circle is Impression Obsession Scribble Circles die.  The almost hidden border is a MS punch.  My sentiment is a TH cling stamp.  The red adhesive dots are the Paper Studio.  I'm happy with how this turned out.  For once, my pic is decent, but this looks even better IRL. :)  

Challenges...
Love to Scrap #113 - anything goes
Love to Craft #26 - Sept anything goes
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Sept - must use patterned paper
Always Happy Birthday Sept - always happy birthday 


That card above was actually the second card I made... after making the one below, I decided to try again because I wasn't happy with the die I'd used for the squiggly element (see sketch below) plus I missed an element!  Also, it came out looking so dark in the pic. :/

This one was quick and easy.  I used a verse printed and waiting, scrap paper, and a bit of ribbon from my scrap box.  The cross stitch rectangles and little flower are from Cheapo Dies. 


So here's the sketch...

And our prize this week is a pack of green, blue and red glitter brush pens by Arto....

Father's Day - TMS #463

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!

I know, I know!  Father's Day is long past, but when I was making my cards last month, this sketch was perfect for the images I wanted to use.  I've actually got 2 cards to show you.

This one, I sent to my dad...  (he's a car/truck guy!)

And my kids gave this one to my hubby...

The truck is from Fred, She Said.  Can't remember where the best. dad. ever. came from.  Paper and ribbon from my stash.  Spellbinders Postage Stamp and Squares dies were used to frame the images.  The arrows are Momenta dies.  


Here's the sketch... isn't this a fun one?

Fall thanks - TMS #427

Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  I've got a fall thank you card to show you.  Over the last couple of days here in the northeast, we got lots of rain and wind.  There were lots of leaves swirling around!  And now many, many of the trees are bare. :( 

But that means it's about time for SNOW!!!!!  :) 

My image is Fred, She Said "Emma in the Leaves Coloured" and cut out with CottageCutz Stitched Rectangles.  My paper is the Paper Studio Linen Door.  I pierced the top with Cutter Bee Piercing Bugs.


Here's  our sketch for the week...
