We have a Week 3 at Clear it Out Tuesday…

A third week to enter the international challenge with the stash item…Washi Tape.at Clear it out Tuesday. The sponsors are Digi Darla and QKR Stampede. I didn’t realize there was three weeks and of course being at the cottage didn’t have a lot of extra images but I did have this beautiful bunch of flowers to make a card around

Although you can’t see it very well I added the tape behind the image and under the button, until this moment I didn’t realize it wasn’t as visible in the picture as it is IRL.The image is from QKR stampede.   I made the card for an acquaintance that is in the hospital, I hope she likes it.

Supplies

Image…QKR Stampede

Cardstock… Bashful Blue GP white Gable Green

printed paper ….DCWV Green stack

Accessories… Spelbinder circles, green and white baker’s twine, button from my button jar.

Thanks for looking today and I hope I have inspired you to join us for the challenge.

Second Week of the Make a Tag Challenge……

This is the second week of the make a tag challenge at The Cheerful Stamp pad and the sponsor is McMahon five designs. my printed papers, my image and the sentiment are all from the sponsor. I used my Tim Holtz Tag and bookplates die and a sizzix scalloped tag die for the two tags. I trimmed the printed paper tag a bit to show the green layer.

It was a really long Saturday night here at the cottage, some renters don’t know the meaning of quiet between 11 and 8, at 3 a.m. out came a guitar and the singing began and badly too. I managed to sleep from 4 until 7.30, but by 8 it was guitar playing and singing and I use that term loosely  Thanks for stopping by to look at what I have created and please stop by The Cheerful Stamp Pad to see the rest of the design team's tags. Now off to have a power nap.

Isn’t this the Sweetest Bunny Card!!

I have been so busy I haven’t been keeping up with the baby cards I need but finally I had some time to work on one. I used one of my Happy Hopper stamps, coloured the image with my prisma colour pencils and oms. It seems to be have been a long time since I have entered the House Mouse & friends Monday challenge and this was my inspiration to “get ‘er done”. If you want to join in the fun check it out you have until Saturday July 27th to enter.

I made the card then I added SPARKLE, which is what the challenge is, of course you can’t see the sparkle very well but I stickled up the baby bottle, added bling the the flowers and along the edge of the card. The flowers are from a bag I received a few years ago from a blog hop on the House Mouse & Friends Blog.

Mid-Challenge time at Clear it Out Tuesday

Another two weeks to join us at Clear it Out Tuesday for the International challenge and don’t forget the stash item, Washi Tape.  Again this week I am showcasing my country Canada, this time it’s my Province of Ontario. We have two sponsors for the challenge so you have two chances to win. QKR Stampede and Digi Darla Designs, please stop by and check them out, they are very generous with their prizes..

In Northern Ontario there are Moose so when I saw this cute moose from QKR Stampede I knew i just had to use him for this challenge, you don’t usually see them lounging around you would see them munching on grasses in the marshes.  The sketch I used is from Decontructing Jen, it was so hot and humid today I was having trouble thinking of a sketch for the image so went to the site and found the perfect sketch for both the image and washi tape.
Supplies
Image.. Moose from QKR Stampede
Cardstock…Real Red, Crumb Cake, Early Expresso and GP White
Sentiment and punch from Stampin’up
You have until July 29th to enter the challenge.

The Cheerful Stamp Pad Challenge….A Tag

The challenge at The Cheerful Stamp Pad is to make a tag and the sponsor is McMahon Five Designs. Head over to the blog and check out the inspiration that the other DT members have done.
The background paper for the tag is from McMahon five  as is the  image and  the sentiment. I knew I wanted to use the sentiment as one of my favourite band is the Beatles, I have a lot of their cds and listen to them when I can (hubby is an Elvis fan).

I finally used my Tim Holtz movers and shakers Tag and bookplates die and cut the turquoise and the printed paper, I cut the print down as to show the backing. I used the bookplate for the bottom part of the sentiment. I didn’t think to bring fibres with me to use for the “tail” on the tag but had some cotton yarn so I cut lengths and then unravelled it.
Supplies
Image, patterned paper and sentiment….McMahon Five Designs
Cardstock…..Turquoise, Crushed Curry and GP white.
Accessories…..TH Tag & bookplate die, Spellbinders circles, brads
                             Cotton yarn, pop dots
Thanks for stopping by today and hope you can get crafty and make us a TAG.

A New Challenge at Clear it Out Tuesday

Hi friends how are you coping with this hot and humid weather? I’m just spending time in the cottage crafting.

The new challenge at Clear it Out is International and the stash item is Washi tape…..now you know you have a few rolls hiding in one of the drawers of your crafting desk dig them out and show us how you use it. The international part is self explanatory but if you need to know more check out what the design team has done.

You Make a Lovely Couple Week Two

The Cheerful Stamp Pad’s challenge is on for another week, stop over to the Blog to check out how to enter and see what the other design team members have done to inspire you. The sponsor for this second week is Twisted Papers head over to Facebook and check out what they have to offer  My image I am using is from the site, I love the sepia and back & white images.
My inspiration for making my card came to me while “listening” to a PBS program on T.V. The program was about the photos the men carried during the Civil War, I am not sure of the size of them I thought perhaps 4 X 5 and some were framed in embossed gold frames and carried in tin boxes to protect them. Being at the cottage I hadn’t brought any gold paper with me so found a gold gift bag and used it. I always seem to be missing something no matter how much I bring with me.

Supplies
Image….Twisted Papers
Cardstock….GP white , Early expresso,and a gold gift bag.
Embossing folder… flowers from a Cuttlebug Asian pack
Spelbinders…large and small oval
Thanks for stopping by today and come back again real soon.
