Anything Goes with Fall Colours Challenge…week 2

Challenge #98 at The Cheerful Stamp Pad continues, the weather is getting cooler here and our leaves on on their last days of being beautiful so we would like to see some beautiful fall colours in your projects. My Heart Pieces at Stitchy Bear outlet is the sponsor for the challenge.  The outlet has been fabulous giving the design team images to play with, so don’t forget to have a look at what they have to offer. For the second week I have made another tag with cute sunflowers in a pot, they have sweet faces as done the cute bee.

Again I coloured with alcohol markers, A friend gave me a few cut tags (mine makes smaller tags) so I used one as a base for my image, added some fibres and a  “For You”  tag.
Thanks for joining me here today and have a marvellous  week.

And the Stockings Were Hung by the Chimney with Care.

Halloween is over for another year, too bad is was  rainy, we didn’t have a lot of children this year but they were all polite and dressed in costumes. Of course being Canadian Thanksgiving is  over and the next thing on the agenda is Christmas. The Jingle Belles challenge blog has on going Christmas challenges to keep us on track to get our cards made for the season. Here is what I made for their challenge.

 

The image I used is from House Mouse Designs and works perfect for the use a critter on your Christmas card. I  have used one of my prized crocheted mats that Jessi makes now if you would like some too she has them listed on her blog…just click HERE.

Here is the finished inside of the card. I used the Seasons greetings embossing folder from cuttlebug on both the front and the inside.

Challenge #20 T is for Thanks (for nothing)

I must apologize for being tardy with my blog post, our TOPS fall rally was today, I  was finishing a few insides of the Christmas cards to take to sell and helping fill the goodie bags to hand out with the name tags and totally forgot I had a card to blog about.
The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers challenge is to make a Thank you card or a Thanksgiving card if you are in the U.S.A.  If you feel the desire to make a snarky comment go for it!!

Pink and grey goes together so well and I love this paper I found at (of all places) Wal-Mart.The image is used is from Bugaboo Digital Stamps I didn’t put thanks on the front, perhaps I should before I give it away.

I used white opal liquid pearls to make the froth on the cup, I now need to buy a new bottle as it works for snow and fur too. I coloured with copics and added a few flowers from my stash. I even broke out a new roll of ribbon,

Not sure but this could be taken as a tad snarky it depends on how your mind reads it. The sentiment came with the digital image.

Thanks for looking today and I hope you find some time in the next two weeks to add your project to the SoSS T  is for Thanks (for nothing) challenge.

Challenge #175…Rollin’ Rollin’ Rollin’

If you are looking for my Clear it Out Tuesday post scroll down or click HERE.
Shopping Our Stash Challenge #175 is Rollin’ Rollin’ Rollin’, you can almost figure that one out in an instant, you need to use round things, make a round card, use lots of circles, use round embellishments there are lots of ideas. Here is what I came up with.

I have had this cute House Mouse stamp for at least a year and it has never seen ink (hanging my head) but when the challenge was posted I just had to ink it up coloured with alcohol markers and layered on pretty in pink cardstock then attached to a premade scalloped oval card base (I have had a package of them for a couple of years)  I then added the pink shiny sticker embellishments.

Close up of the donut, the sprinkles have some stickles on them.

Here is the inside, I added the sentiment that  goes with the image.
Thanks for stopping by today and go dig out all those “round” things and join us at Shopping Out Stash for the challenge.

The Theme Orange and The Stash item ORANGE things

It’s Tuesday and time for another great challenge at Clear it Out Tuesday, the theme  is Orange and the stash item is Orange things. Our sponsor is Meljen’s Designs there are super cute images in their store. The image I chose is a cute kitten in a jack-0-lantern.

I coloured with my alcohol markers and cut it out with the large circle die from spellbinders, I bought some coloured vellum envelopes and paper from a yard sale a couple of years ago,(II have been hoarding it) so I broke it out and cut it with the large scalloped die, i popped it up on the pumpkin embossed layer. I added my orange pumpkins on either end of the sentiment.

Finished inside of the card.

Challenge #98 Anything Goes….With Fall Colours!!!

The first week of challenge #98 at The Cheerful Stamp Pad is a favourite type challenge but this one is with a twist, it’s anything goes but with Fall colours, those nice rich reds, yellows, oranges and a bit of brown and green thrown in. The sponsor for this challenge is My Heart Pieces at Stitchy Bear digital outlet. I decided to make a gift tag which would be perfect for a holiday visit gift of a bottle of wine. Have a look to see what I’ve done for the challenge.

I had a purchased tag on my table and used it for a base for the image, I shortened it and rounded the bottom corners. Added a reinforcement I found in the stationary drawer. The image was coloured with a combination of alcohol markers and I added some rhinestones.  My brown marker was running out, but I like the look of the barrel.
Thanks for stopping by today and stop over at the blog and check out what the rest of the design team has made with their images.
