Fa La La La La

Hello crafty friends! While the pies are baking I took a moment to make another challenge card. This time I used the sketch from Mojo Monday challenge along with the color combo of Inspired by all the little things challenge again. I just love this combination of colors for Christmas. It has such a retro feel. I pulled out a KaiserCraft paper pad I bought when I was in Oz. The cute ornament stamp and dies are from Reverse Confetti.

Picture Inspiration

Welcome fellow crafters! Today I made a quick and easy card inspired by two challenges. The layout is from the sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps and the color and images came from Inspired by all the little things challenge. I used a Theresa Collins set I purchased when I lived in Australia. I really like the whimsical look to the trees. The snowflake die was from a new set from Reverse Confetti.

Warmest Wishes

Yes, definitely a warm 85 degree November day here in North Texas! To cool things down, I decided to make this card using these adorable snowflake stamps from Iron Gate Stamps and some of the new dies from Reverse Confetti for the Freshly Made Sketches and Merry Monday challenges. The patterned card is from The Little Yellow Bicycle's Winterings stack.

Season's Greetings

Hello crafty friends! I know... a tad early, but I just had to use these new adorable stamps and dies from Reverse Confetti! I thought the new Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge would work with this adorable vintage ornament stamp and die combo. I toyed with attaching silver thread at the top, but the sketch called for a little horizontal something:-) I thought it was time to use up some of my twine.

Grateful Heart

Hello crafty friends! Fall is here in spirit even though not in temperature. Quite warm here (90) for a northerner.  I made this card for the Always Playing With Paper sketch challenge.

Halloween Care Box

Hello crafty friends!

I got this idea for a college care package from a post on my SCAD parent FB page. I had never seen one so I checked it out on Pinterest. WOW! What a lot of great ideas! I made this for my daughter. I put a bunch of different halloween decor items in it along with all of the chocolate, which I hope won't melt before she gets it.

I used my Cricut machine and the Happy Hauntings cart to cut out the images and glued them onto patterned paper. I thought this would work well for the My Time To Craft Challenge.

If You've Got It, Haunt It!

Hello crafty friends!

Pop The Bubbly

Hello creative friends! I wanted to use one of the dies I recently bought from Reverse Confetti for the Paper Players Sketch Challenge.

The sentiment and banner are also from RC.

Happy May and a friendly challenge card

Happy May crafting friends! Today I have made a card that covers three blog challenges. The Paper Players used a bicycle in their challenge. I combined this theme with Always Playing with Paper's sketch challenge along with House of Cards challenge that requires clear papers. I thought the Jillibean Soup stack I've been using worked very well for this challenge. It has this adorable bicycle print in it. The Reverse Confetti sentiment is stamped on a piece of Pergamano I found in my stash.

Quick Paper Players card

I had time to squeeze in a quick challenge card at lunch. I used the Paper Players sketch for this week along with stamps and dies from Reverse Confetti.

CAS Butterfly

Have you ever started a project and then realized you don't have one of the tools you thought you did? Well, I had started a challenge card and then realized I didn't have the stamp set I thought I bought. So I had to dust of the cobwebs on the creative part of my brain to finish this card. The card I made today actually covers four challenges. I was able to use more of my Jillibean Soup patterned card stock along with one of my favorite dies from Reverse Confetti. I wanted to use the coordinating stamp for the butterfly die, but alas, it was not a purchase:-( Instead, I pulled out an old Stampin' Up background stamp, Fine Lace, and spritzed on some glimmer mist. The sketch is from Sunday Stamps with additional inspiration coming from Clean and Simple on Sunday, The Paper Players, and Simon Says Stamp challenges.

Friendly Mojo

I'm so excited about getting another challenge card finished! I usually start and then get sidetracked by housework or kids (or happily friends calls) and never finish in time. This is my Mojo Monday card for this week. I really like this sketch. I used card stock from Bazzil and Jillibean Soup. The stamped sentiment and die cuts are from Reverse Confetti.

Hello

Wow! Can't believe I haven't posted here since February! Well, here we are in April with another Reverse Confetti sketch challenge. It was a nice quiet day so I sat down and did a little creating. I made several cards for this challenge, but this is the only one I'll share with you. I wasn't so pleased with the others. I may alter them a bit in the future, but for now I'll submit this one:-)

I used card from Echo Park's "a walk in the Park". The dies were all from Reverse Confetti- Butterfly Dreams; Flowers for Mom; Hello; Sun n Clouds.

Here is their sketch if you would like to play along at Reverse Confetti.

Wanderlust Book

I'm so happy I signed up for Everything Art's Wanderlust class. I was hesitant at first because this is an international class and there are soooo many fabulous artists in the world. And I am just a wanna-be:-) I wasn't sure if I would even open one of the many beautiful colors of paint I like to buy, and never use. So, I took Katarzyna's advice and took a few minutes for myself and laid down some paint. The first weeks them was to use one word that describes myself. Here is what I came up with.

I played around with paint, stencils, and modeling paste. I still have a lot to learn. Like.. don't use glimmer mist after stamping with distress ink and be careful cleaning a palette knife with paint on it.

Brewin' Up Birthday Wishes

Reverse Confetti Sketch Challenge 32

Hello crafty friends!  Today I would like to share with you the card I made for this month's challenge at Reverse Confetti. I used "Class Act" stamp and die sets. I also thought the DCWV Grade School stack worked perfectly with the stamp set. I used a little glossy accents on the leaf and stem and popped the apple up with foam adhesive. The sentiment was stamped on the chalkboard cardstock with white craft ink. I inked all edges with Coal Miner chalk ink from Quick Quotes
