Welcome Back to a New Challenge at Clear it Out Tuesday!!!

Clear it Out Tuesday's Challenge #105's theme is use food related digis and the stash item is plaids (gingham ribbon, plaid patterned paper) The sponsors for the challenge are Robyns Fetish Digital Stamps and Star Stampz. I used a cute digi from Robyns Fetish.

This is a real fun image and the sentiment was computer generated, the candy dots are my home made ones and I remembered what the stash item was before the card was totally finished.

Close up of the image and I even got the sewing machine out did some stitching.

Finished the inside for an Anniversary card and added more plaid.

Are you in the midst of a heat-wave? Is the humidity unbearable? Well it sure is here in SWO (south western Ontario), I am even thinking of taking a dip in the lake today.  Of course with the weather the challenge at Shopping Our Stash seems out of place, we sure want to "take it off" but the challenge is Layer it on Me!!! use lots of layers,  Head over to the main blog check out the rules for entering and see what the rest of the design team have for your inspiration.

As you see the shadows were long when I took the picture, the best time is between 1 and 3 but I'm not always ready. I have recently discovered Sweet Sunday Sketch Blog  and since I seem to craft on Sunday it works well for me. The image I used is from Sami Stamps the patterned papers are from Walmart. I made the candy dots last week and having fun using them.

Close up of the image and the dots.

Inside of the card, the sentiment is from an acrylic set I bought at the dollar store for $2.

Shopping Our Stash #214 ~~~ Make a Spectacle of Yourself

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

The Shopping Our Stash challenge this week is Make a spectacle of yourself which translates to use paper or stamps with glasses on it,. Now it seems easier doesn't it, well not for me I'm totally lost as I had nothing to do with glasses, Pinterest to the rescue ~~~ I found some free download paper with glasses on it and that was a start, then the light-bulb moment happened and I have the cutest Lacy Sunshine image called Eleanor who has the largest glasses ever (well we all had them 15 years ago didn't we). Here is what I have made for the challenge, in one of my least favourite colours.

I have combined this sweet image with the Sweet Sunday sketch #281

Just to show how I blinged her glasses up. (sorry for the out of focus picture)

The inside using a scrap of the same glasses paper and a simple sentiment.

I would like to link this to:

Thanks for stopping by today and would love to see your take on the "spectacle" challenge.

Challenge # 189 Inspired by a Movie

Looking for my Clear it Out post, scroll down or click HERE.
Shopping Our Stash has been inspired by movies and wants you to make a project inspired by a movie and tell us which one as we might not be able to guess it or we might be too young or too old to know it. A while ago I won a gift certificate from the Paper Shelter and saw an image that would work perfect for this challenge, it is called The Time of My Life. My favourite movie is Dirty Dancing. I was a little pressed for time this weekend and used the pre-coloured image for my card.

I saw the new sketch at Sweet Sunday sketch challenge # 256, It seems to happen quite often that a sketch comes to my e-mail in the morning I’m working on a card and it usually works with my image.

I had the perfect stamp for the sentiment on this card and it didn’t take me too long to find it either.

The image is champagne Enchantress from Lacy Sunshine Designs  she is a free image from the Lacy Sunshine Facebook page. for the December challenge but there was too much going on to get it done, and now here she is in all her elegance. The sketch is from Sweet Sunday Sketches and it’s going to be a favourite sketch blog to visit.

It’s beginning to look a lot like winter………

Hello friends and family, today we had our furnace replaced and they will be putting the A/C in tomorrow, not like we need it right now. We were blessed with a bit of snow today and driving was a little greasy but fine if you didn’t act like it was the Indy 500. I finally finished my swap cards and they are on their way to homes in Canada and the U.S. On one of my fav. blogs I saw this sketch and decided I needed to use it, hop on over to Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge and have a look. Here is my take on the sketch.

I believe the set is Holiday Line-up, retired from Stampin’'up. I used background paper I bought 5 years ago at Wal-mart. The cardstock is Ballet Blue also retired from SU. I sparkled up their pompoms and anything else I could. The embossing folder is a cuttlebug one, the first one I ever bought. Talk about using up stash. The snowflakes were punched with a small EK punch, one that I manage to pinch my finger in at least once. the sentiment is also one of the first stamps I bought when I started stamping eons ago.

I am entering this in a couple of challenges:
