Holiday Time

 Happy December Friends!!!

This year flew by for me, I can not believe Christmas is upon us!!

Well that means a new challenge over at Paper FunDay Challenges!! Challenge #36

Anything goes of course with the optional Twist/Holiday Time

A huge Thank You!!! to our sponsors this month Polkadoodles andMy Besties!!

The image I am using this month is Lily Bug Love/Sending Love. I wanted to use this adorable image this month to be out of the obvious Christmas Card theme.

I colored the image using colored pencils and then heat embossed her wings and hat and cute little shoes.

I also heat embossed the dots for the background and the sentiment.

  

I used my Spellbinders die for her image and the used Tim Holtz Distress Ink around the edges.

I used the same ink for the sentiment. I could not find a font that really went well with this card so I decided to break out of my comfort zone and free hand script. I used dots for ladybug( I thought it was perfect for the card!)

I had fun with this card and I really hope to see your entry over at https://paperfundaychallenges.blogspot.com!

Thanks for stoping in and viewing my card!!

Grateful-Season

 Happy November friends!

Its a new month and that means a brand new challenge over at Paper FunDay Challenge Blog.

This month challenge #35 is as always Anything Goes with an optional Twist: Give Thanks/Grateful.

A HUGE thank You to our sponsors this month, CAS_ual Fridays Stamps and Artsy Stamper.

This month I am using the gorgeous set from Artsy Stamper,  Seaside Holiday set.

I printed out and colored this seaside scene and added some grass using colored pencils. I used my Spellbinders die that reminds me of a treasure map for the frame. I went around the edges and gave it a more distressed look using my Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

I went with this beautiful DSP from Stamping Up and a fish net die I had for the background. I just love this ribbon I purchased from my local Dollar Tree as well. I just thought the added color pop in the back was just what it needed. I also used a glue pen to outline and go over the sentiment and added some clear embossing powder on it to make it stand out.

To finish this very Florida Christmas Card, I added an image of the seashore with pilings to frame my inside sentiment as well. A small jute bow on the front to complete the card. 

I hope to see your awesome entries over at Paper FunDay Challenge Blog.

Thank you for stoping by!

Trick-Or-Treat

Hello Friends, It's time for another challenge over at Paper FunDay.

 October Challenge #34- As always its Anything goes with an Optional Twist/ Halloween and/or Use Purple in your project.

Our awesome sponsors this month are Fred She Said and Paper Nest Dolls.

The card I have to share with you guys today, I made using Fred She Said/Halloween Emma.

I thought it would be fun to make a shaker card using a new die cut frame I got.

I also used a piece of a die cut sleeve that was torn on the side for my shaker windows. I played it out and placed the die on and ran it through my Big Shot!

 

I planned out colors for the card base, frame, and a patterned background. I used the sentiment from the set and die cut and distressed that as well

Once I had all the elements planned and played out, it was time to make shaker magic!!!!

I chose some Halloween themed confetti using bats, Jack'o lanterns, and spiders. I added some foam strips to encase my blings and then placed the background patterned paper on top, flipped it around and gave it a shake to make sure my goodies stayed in!!!

Halloween has always been such a fun holiday for me, I can remember most every costume I have ever trick-or-treated in!!! And candy................................ still one of my favorite parts!!! I had a lot of fun creating this card and so glad you stopped in to check it out!

I hope to see all of you over at Paper FunDay Challenge!!

Happy Fall Y'all

Hello Guys its time for another Challenge over at Paper Fun Day Challenges. As always our challenges are Anything goes with an optional twist for September the twist is Autumn/Fall. 

Thank you so very much to our sponsors this month Jan's Digi Stamps and  The Colour of Love.

The image I used on my fall themed card this month was from Jan's collection Pumpkin Blessings.

To make this card I colored the image with alcohol markers, scanned and resized and printed out a few and then fussy cut them out. I decided to go with a slimline care and used some houndstooth Designer Series paper and a brown pattern to layer also to pull it all together I chose a gold and sparkly ribbon to tie around the layering and also the sentiment! I love how it all came together, and it really gets me in the mood for Fall comfort!!! I hope you all enjoyed taking a look at my card this month and I can't wait to see what all of you come up with don't forget to join us over at Paper FunDay!!

Jar full of 'Happy"

Hello friends, I'd like to share this mason Jar card with you today. I made it to enter into the 'Mason jar' challenge over at Double 'D'Challenges.

I used two digital stamps I purchased from Etsy. The Jar image with bees is from LariPrintDesign. I printed the image twice and fussy cut the bees to add dimension. The second digital was the Gingham background print. This is from ClipHeartCreations.  Thank you for stopping by to check out my newest creation.

Cutest Critter

 Hello Friends!

     I can not believe it's already August and time for school to start back for my kiddos. It is also time for a new challenge over at Paper FunDay, Challenge #32 Anything goes with an optional twist/ Cute Critters.

A BIG "Thank You" to our sponsors this month Polkadoodles and Eureka Stamps.

The image I am using this month is Early Butterfly, an adorable lil hedgehog critter from Polkadoodles!

I started out with the image and used alcohol markers to color and blend, I then scanned the image and made it a tad smaller to fit in my scalloped frame die cut. I then used Distress Inks to fill in around the image and to frame the outside background. I chose some Stampin UP DSP with the Butterfly Brilliance set for my background to the front of the card.

I then chose to put a yellow background behind my scalloped frame just to make it pop. I die cut the smallest butterflies from my stamping UP Butterfly Brilliance set and chose three colors of pearled paper to cut them from. I added some creases and some white gel pen for added details. I used a Spellbinders Hello Die for my sentiment on the front of the card and used the same three colors as the small butterflies and layered them.

 I used a small "you are loved" stamp for the inside and the coordinating butterfly stamp from Butterfly Brilliance and framed it with Distress Ink.

 Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see your beautiful card entries over at Paper FunDay Challenges!!

Wishing my most special friend Anne Buckingham a very Happy Birthday Today!!!

Summertime

Summer is here..... and its time for a new Paper FunDay Challenge #31 Anything goes with optional twist Summer Time Fun. This month I am using an image 'Tree House Love" from Hetty Clare Art.

I started by printing the image and coloring with Prisma color pencils and gamisol for blending. I then scanned the colored image into my computer and printed out out two more duplicates. That way I could cut and layer and add dimension to the tree house. I also added some Mod Podge dimensional magic to the balloons.

Then I used my Stampin Up squares dies for the frames layered in the background. I also used Fawn Lawns clouds and grass stencils behind my Tree House image. To finish up the card I added a bit of gingham  ribbon and a bow to tie it all in! I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed creating it! Thanks for stopping by to check it out and please join us in our July Challenge #31 Anything Goes/ optional twist Summertime Fun over at Paper FunDay!! I look forward to seeing your creations!!!
