Autumn Colors - Crafty Cardmakers and more Challenge

Fall is my favorite time of year and time to enjoy another exciting challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and more.  This challenge is to use Autumn Colors.

I chose to use this cute little digi stamp from Pink Gem Designs.  They have a lot of adorable stamps.

 I was going to make her a blonde, but the hair came out darker then I wanted.  I was going to continue and add darker brown to just go totally brunette.  But, I have gotten in trouble trying to fix cards and end up ruining them, so I just went with it.

Crafty Cardmakers and More Challenge - Circle Card

Happy Monday!  Hope you will join us for this circle card challenge # 149 at Crafty Cardmakers and More.

I know it is early for a Christmas card, but I just received these adorable stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn and couldn't wait to try them out.  I love all the little critters, but I definitely need some practice coloring them.  

I am not thrilled with the red glitter embossing powder - time to try another brand. My husband suggested the silver background.  I think it turned out rather nicely.

Welcome baby!

Hello all.  I made this card for our neighbors new baby boy.  Hmm, I didn't realize it until now, this is the very first baby card that I have made.  I am really loving all the sweet critter images that several stamp companies are coming out with.  Of course, they are nice to use for any age.

Card and Envelope together

I tried my hand at watercolor this time. I do like the way most of it turned out.

The grass....not so much. I had a hard time getting the watercolor paper to adhere to the card base.  It keeps  pulling up around the edges and I continue to add different types of glue.  Even my no fail glue, Aleene's super thick tacky glue is not working.  I just better get this card to Wyatt before it falls apart or he graduates from college!

"Make it Sparkle" Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and more

The challenge this week is to "Make it Sparkle!"  Any form of sparkle is allowed. I hope you decide to play along. I have used Stickles on her tutu, the floor and the centers of the flowers on the embossing folder.  Wink of Stella added a little sparkle to the stars.

New House, New Craft Room, New Card!

Hello all!  Well, we moved in May and my craft room has just now been set up and I am finally able to work in it.  It is still a work in progress, but I am crafting!

I wanted the first card that I made to be for someone special.  Her name is Mary and she was a good friend to my younger brother Scott who passed away last year.

Thank you, Mary.

This sweet little image is "Miss You Lots" by Wplus9.

 

 The background was inspired by Christy Sugiarto of Christy Designs.

She did an absolutely beautiful design with watercolors.  You can see it here.

 I used Copic markers for my card.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite days of the year.  I have wonderful memories of my mom making corned beef and cabbage.  The last time I was able to enjoy it was before we moved south from Ohio in 1989.  My niece, Bridget has carried on the tradition most years since.  The years pass too quickly, but I hold on to those cherished moments.  I have dreamed of going to Ireland since I was a little girl.  We are planning for next year to be the one!  I have a few things on my bucket list while there:  to hike Croagh Patrick, golf, research family history and to see Northern Ireland. 

I love this sweet image from Mo's Digital Pencil.  I thought he would be perfect for a card for my Aunt Dorothy.
