Post 4th

I'm ahead for a challenge with ECal Users this week....summer tags.  So my first tag is a Patriotic tag using Patriotic American Bison from Creative Fabrica.  The flag tag is from Digital Scrapbooking.

2024 Yes Jar

I printed the title. Then I dug into my stash and found some rub-ons with family sentiments.  I added the tag for a Cherry on Top Challenge.

Cacti Layout

I just love the plants out here in Arizona.   This layout was for a Cherry on Top Challenge to use a famous line from a Gene Hackman movie.  I chose the line "Down here, things are different" from Mississippi Burning.

Wednesday's Finest

The title is computer generated, as well as the journaling and the journaling strips.  The sticker is from a scrapbook weekend with these ladies.  The photo is of our Wednesday's Zoom Crop - I was on a new computer and could not figure out how to adjust my camera - so I spent the day upside down.

Happy Holidays

Created for this week's Card Sketch #15...and for the Kerst Christmas Challenge. Papers and sentiment from my stash - Christmas Tree from our sponsor, Mirtillamente.

Featured Stamper #941 - Santa Flamingo

Congratulations to this week's Featured Stamper, Patti! I chose this card as my inspiration:

I focused on Patti's:
-single-layer design
-Paint background behind main image

I changed:
-image from berries to flamingo
-digital splash behind image
-colors
-sentiment

Winter Fun

This card was created with Penguin Trio from our sponsor, Lily Valley.

Southwest Birthday

Special request from a friend for some Southwest cards.  This is the first of a set.  I forgot where the paper is from, but it was originally black and gold....using GIMP, I changed the colors to turquoise and rust for a Southwest feel.  I love how it came out!

  

Schnitzel Dinner

I used We Are 3 digital paper.  Title was computer generated.  The fork and spoon are from Creative Fabrica....and I can't remember who created the other clip art.

Valentine Splendor

I used the weekly sketch from A Cherry on Top for this Valentine card.

Watercolor Chickadee Winter Bird

Watercolor Chicadee Winter Bird...inspired by this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoast.  Used everything from my stash.  

Birthday Fun

This card is just items from my stash.

Birthday Card

This is one of my favorite gift card holders I've made - and it won me a cool $10 gift card. 

Wedding

Shhhh.  It's a gift - the first page of a wedding album I'm making for friends getting married in a couple weeks.  I don't think she ever looks at my blog....so good to share here.

Loving You Forever

I used Featured Stamper 927 from Splitcoast for inspiration for this card - and recreated the card digitally.  

Friends Layout

Here's a layout I made for a Cherry Top Challenge with a "Friends" theme. The starry background paper has been in my stash since I was teaching classes.  All the other papers are scraps in mystash.  The border is the leftover pieces from scalloped borders I cut some time ago.  The butterflies were a gift from another crafty friend that were perfect for this page. That's the kind of layout I like - Open a couple storage folders, pull out some papers, and you're done! Oh, I did cut the lacy circle in the middle....but I cut several different circles so next time I need a circle....check out the stash!
