Twisted Easel

Hello again.  I have a quick one and then I am off to bed.  I have made a ton of regular easel cards, but I have never tried a twisted one.  I did tonight.  I used one that I found over at Silhouette Online.  I really like the pattern and I think I will make another and change it up a little bit.  I think the 31 needs to come off and something else added to the middle.  Hopefully, I will have time tomorrow night to play around with it.

I am using it in the following challenges:
   Tuesday Throwdown - Easel Card
   Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
   Aud Sentiment - Fall

Chat with you tomorrow.

Stampin Up Bear

Hello.  Man, am I tired and the weekend is over.  Oh well, maybe the week will be less busy.

I am in love with the Stampin' Up Baby Bear set.  I don't normally like solid layering set, but I just fell in love with the bear the first time I stamped it.  I am sure you will see this bear over and over.  The balloon is also a Stampin' Up punch.

Finally

Hello.  How is everyone doing? 

I have had this card on my desk for almost a week and I just haven't taken the time to post it.  I love all of the cards being made with the birch trees.  And I saw one similar to this some time ago.  I finally made my version of it.  Both the leaf and the trees are from Silhouette Online.

Cut It Up

I used the new pop up card from the Silhouette Online store.  These are just so easy to put together.  If you haven't tried them you must.  Super fun and easy.

Last of Summer

Good morning.  I hope everyone has plan to enjoy the last day of the weekend.  I am working but that is ok.  I really don't mind.

I still have a few summer projects I want to work on so hopefully I will finish them up this week.  Who knows?

I haven't done a shaker card in a while so I didn't to do a quick and simple beach one. It is always fun to put sand in a shaker.  I put to much this time around but that is ok.  I stamped the flip flops from a old set of stamps ( I don't even know where I got them.) and then cut them out. 




I am using it in the following challenges:

Give A Crafter A Cookie

It is time for another Give A Crafter A Cookie challenge.  It is hard to believe it has been two weeks already.  This one is going to be a great one.

It is sponsored by Imagine That by Kris.  I can't wait to see what every one comes up with.  This will be so much fun.

I went with a design from Imagine That.  I just love this little cow.  She has him in several different themes.  I started with this first card.  It was the one I sent to the group to show.  The apple paper is from Happy Hearts Studio.  After looking at it, I decided I didn't like the apples, so I remade the card.  I printed out more digital paper from Happy Hearts Studios and I like the second one much better.

Make sure you come over to Give a Crafter A Cookie and enter the challenge this week.

Distressing

Hello everyone.  Day two back to school and work.  The days are getting back to normal but things have been busy.  It just take a while to get the routine back.

When I saw the sketch over at Little Tangles, I thought it would be a good way to distress.  I even got the stripes fairly even.  I am slowly getting better at it.  I used Tim Hotz's Salty Ocean ink pad.  The digital stamp is my Little Miss Muffet.  And you know I just had to have it since she is hugging an elephant.

I am using it in the following challenges:

   Little Miss Muffet - Anything Goes #145
   Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes
   Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes #328
   Lawnscaping - Texture
   Little Tangles - Sketch

Off to play some more.  Hopefully I will be back soon.

Football Again

Hello.  I hope everyone in the US had a great Labor Day weekend.  Mine was good and busy.  I start back to work tomorrow.  Back to normal.

I want to get my desk cleaned off before I head to bed tonight.  It may take me forever.  I don't know how it got so messed up.

I made this card last week and I never did get it posted.  This was the start of college football season so I just had to make a card.  I used the paper from Happy Hearts Studio and the football helmet pattern from Silhouette Online.

This is card is standard white card.  It is my favorite to use.  No extra postage and I don't have to look for envelopes.  Just perfect.

I am using it for the following challenges:
   Crafty Gals - Anything Goes #87
   As You Like It & Why - Favorite Card Base
   Dream valley - Monochromatic
   The Pencil Case - Anything Goes

Off to work on my desk....

Cut It Up

Hello and Happy Friday.  It is time for another Cut It Up Challenge.  This week the theme is a Watercolor.  So time to pull out your watercolors.  The challenge is being sponsored by One Happy Cut.  The winner will get a $15 prize.

I stamped out this rose weeks ago and thought it would be great.  I don't have a lot of experience with watercolors but it is fun to play with them.  I really need to use them more often.
