Challenge #208 Baubles, Buttons and Bows

Looking for my Clear it Out Tuesday post scroll down or click HERE.

Shopping Our Stash has an awesome challenge I hope you are ready to take the challenge as it is Baubles, Buttons and Bows. No single rhinestones, no enamel dots, to define a Bauble is something you found and thought that might look good on a card one day such as part of a broken earring  does this make sense? I hope so.....the Bauble on my card is a rhinestone heart that at one time was on a key chain or a necklace, my hubby found it on the beach with his metal detector. I have a jar of such items that can be used. I also combined it with a bow. So don't forget to check our all the rules for entering the challenge and take a look at what the other design team has created.

Talk about using my stash, the image was left over from another card and it is from Lunagirls  check out their collage sheets. the Happy Birthday I cut for another card but didn't use it and of course the bauble from the beach find jar. I embossed the background with a butterfly folder.

Here is my Bauble and Bow

I used the tulip border embossing folder and one of my oldest Hero Arts sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today and dig out those Baubles, Buttons and Bows and join in the fun at Shopping Our Stash.

Second Week of "My Style" challenge at Clear it Out Tuesday

Clear it Out Tuesday  continues the "My Style" challenge stash item is your favourite crafting item. As you know I love using die cuts to frame my coloured images and I used one of my first spellbinder dies I bought and that is Circles, I also love using embossing folders.  The sponsor for the challenge is Lacy Sunshine check out the new releases they are awesome.  I didn't use a new release I used a digi I won when I entered a challenge at their challenge blog, it's the first time I have coloured her up.

As you see I used another favourite colour combo I just love blue and lime green together, I used a combination of Spectrum noir and copic markers  and I am hoping you can see I did a cloudy sky with some chalks and my finger.

W is for Wine ~~~ The Reason for Living at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers

Happy Saturday!!! Do you know what time it is? Yes it's time for a new challenge at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers W is for Wine.....the reason for living.  I like a glass of white wine with dinner occasionally  my new favourite is an Ontario wine from Inniskillin Estate winery, it's a late autumn Riesling.  I found a great image at SLS lines just perfect for this challenge.

Since the challenge was wine I used the wine colour for the accents, the flowers were on my table, I don't even know why they were sitting there as they were the only flowers I brought with me to the cottage, So far so good this week I have had everything I have needed to craft, I keep finding more I might need here.

Thanks for stopping by today and we would love to see your W is for wine project on our challenge blog, Don't forget to check out what the design team has made for the challenge and I know there is "snark" running rampant there. Just click HERE.

The Shoes challenge continues at The Cheerful Stamp Pad.

Here I am with a post for Week 2 of "Shoes" at the Cheerful Stamp Pad,  I missed making a project for the first week, I am not even sure what happened except with changing to Fridays I'm a little more challenged at getting things done,  I'm sure I will get a handle on it soon, The sponsor for the challenge is Lunagirl, I used a section of the shoes collage sheet and made an ATC (artist trading card) I found a cute saying so printed it small enough to snip it into little rectangles to add along the side....so now lets see what you think.

I layered the image on gold glitter paper then on a black scalloped layer, added the sentiment down the left side and a rhinestone on the right.

The sentiment is rather funny for me as I only have 6 pair of shoes....one for the gym, one for walking, two sandals, and two pair on dress shoes one for winter and one for summer. I'm sure the sentiment does work for a lot of people out there. 

Thanks for joining me today and lets see those projects with "shoes".

Challenge #207 ~~~ For the Boys

Looking for my Clear it Out post, scroll down or click HERE.


Shopping Our Stash  has a new challenge and it's For the Boys....make a masculine card. Well we all know how stressful it is to make cards for men, they don't like hearts, flowers or fussy stuff so what do you do? Here is what I did for the challenge.

I can't remember who's digi this is it's one I have had for a couple of years, the patterned paper is from a paper pad I bought at the dollar store, I tilted the image and the blue rectangle and added three white brads to look like golf balls.

The inside without a sentiment as they are all at home and I'm at the cottage. I used the Top Note sizzix  die and used some left over patterned paper, the circles are made with a border punch.

Thanks for stopping by today and lets see those masculine cards.

Clear it Out Tuesday is asking for "My Style"

I like layers sometimes a lot of layers and die-cuts usually oval, I even like layers in the inside of the cards, so that is my style. The stash item is your favourite craft product, so head over to Clear it Out Tuesday challenge blog and check out the rules and see what the rest of the team has made for the challenge. The sponsor of the challenge (which will last two weeks) is Lacy Sunshine  there are some really cute images there, so check them out.

The image I chose was Foxglove Enchantress, Since it's all about my favourites I love purple and of course needed to colour this in mauve, this Labels 8 and decorative labels 8 are two of my favourite dies, 

Closer look , check out the butterfly

Some Gruffie Love

I love House Mouse stamps, Happy Hoppers and Gruffies, I don't get a chance to use them very often except for the odd design team project or my own personal cards. This Gruffie was made for a friend that has just had more surgery, she has received her card so now I can blog it.

I used my new Cover a card die and added the rhinestones, the image was a little large for the oval die so I fussy cut the lilac before I cut it.  You have probably noticed I am in love with the new die.

Well this one is a little out of focus  but wanted to give a close up.

I am sliding in on the last day of the challenge at:

House Mouse and friends Monday challenge Blog "Holiday" or Anything goes
