Fairy Land for We Are 3

I made this card using the fabulous Fairy Land from We Are 3.

I printed the feathers on top of one of the Fairy Land patterns and fussy cut them.  The sentiment is from the Birthday Wishes set. 

We Are 3 New Release

I chose to use the gorgeous Fairy Land papers for today's card.

Please visit We Are 3's Facebook page to see the gorgeous creations by the rest of the design team.  I hope you'll share what you make with We Are 3 papers and sentiments.

 

Featured Stamper Challenge

For this layout, I chose the gorgeous Hello Autumn. The title, butterflies, and word elements are all from my stash.  

The Creative Memories Virtual Crop

Yes, this was an exciting day for my husband's grandmother as she turned 90 years old.  This layout is in honor of the occasion - using papers from Spring Medley, Hello Autumn, and Berry Good. 

The Outlawz Paper Ala Mode Challenge

The new challenge is Spring/Easter, and we used Margaret's Irises available at We Are 3.  Kind of went simple with this.  I added the sentiment (Spring) to a border, filled with one of the Margaret's Irises patterns.  Added some flowers and leaves from my stash.  

Have a Nice Day

It's Friday and the last day of another FABULOUS Tag challenge at the Eclips Users Group.  I took the easy route this year - but did make an attempt to go all out for the last tag....until my machine crashed!  So I improvised and really happy with my results - although simple.  I made a simple scalloped egg tag using SVGCuts Easter Egg. 

I colored the roses digitally and popped them up for a bit of dimension.

The sentiment is from Design Bundles.

Baby Birdie

This is the fourth day for the tag challenge at the Ecal Users Group. 

Obviously, I've opted for something simple.

I used We Are 3's retired Baby Birdie for the image.  She is colored digitally.    

The sentiment is from SVGCuts.

Finally, the tag is cut from 6 Trendy Tags - My Scrap Chick.  Simple tag - but sweet, don't you think? 

Ecal Users Group Easter Tag Challenge

Always fun to join in the challenges at the Ecal Users Group.  This week we want to see Easter and tags!  I knew immediately I wanted to use some files I've never used before.  This one - I can't even remember some of the files I used.  

Easter Tag Challenge at Ecal Users Group

Can't let Easter go by without celebrating with the gals in the Eclips and Ecal Users Group.  The chick is from Miss Kate Cuttables that was a freebie five years ago.  Miss Kate continues to give freebies from time to time - Woo hoo!   The sentiment was a freebie from SVGCuts.  The paper was a freebie, too - probably from Miss Kate Cuttables.  Are you seeing a theme here?  I printed this as a single-layer tag, using a tag from My Scrap chick for the tag shape.  Easy peasy.  Happy Easter!

Happy Easter

The sentiment is from Love SVG.  The bunny is from 2 Cute Ink, colored digitally.  The tag shape is from My Scrap Chick.  This week my tags are for an Easter Tag challenge at the Eclips and Ecal Users Group - open to anyone using Ecal.  

Hello Autumn from Creative Memories

As soon as I saw Hello Autumn, I wanted to use it for an album.  

Could these colors be any prettier?  The journaling comes from Love SVG.  Hope you can join in the fun in April!

Sketch for Creative Memories

Wow!  Seems like it's been ages since I've wanted to craft anything other than scrapbook layouts.  Last weekend I created five of the six sketches in the Virtual Crop with Creative Memories.

Debuting Original Artwork from our Neighbors

Today I have another layout from last weekend's Creative Memories virtual crop.  I can't help but share artwork from the neighborhood children. 

Isn't their work AMAZING?  We are so grateful they share their beautiful artwork with us.

Hello Autumn

Last weekend was the Creative Memories Virtual Crop.  I created this layout using the fabulous kit called Hello Autumn.  The gorgeous embellishments are from the Spring Medley kit.

We Are 3 Papers and Sentiments

Here's a card using paper from We Are 3's Mostly Dots collection.  Have to say, this simple card is so much more beautiful than I envisioned it would be...the photo does not do it justice!   

The background square is from the Mostly Dots collection.  I digitally erased the edges to make the image softer - it looks more like a piece of fabric, don't you think?  The feather is digitally paper pieced using a pattern from the Just for You Mini Sampler.  Then I added a sentiment from the You Know set.  

  

Mostly Dots - Make it Witchy

It's nearly St. Patrick's Day!  Well, you would think I'd have a shamrock-filled project today, but instead I have a Halloween project!  Can never begin Halloween treat holders too early! As I began thinking about how to use the new Mostly Dots collection, I browsed through my list of project ideas - Inspiration I find and stash away.  Back in 2012, I had stashed away a Halloween lollipop holder idea - the inspirational photo used patterned paper in shades of gray and autumn colors.  I just had to use Mostly Dots for this project! 

Along with Mostly Dots, I used Autumn Flannel from We Are 3. 

 

Snippy Scrappers in March

There's something about babies ... and pandas.  The adorable panda images are from Kadoodle Bug.  With a name like that, how could they be anything but cute?  

Buzzing by with Valentine Wishes

Tell me scrapbooking for grandkids is not the best EVER!  I get all warm and fuzzy just looking at the photos.  

Paper Ala Mode Forever Love

Today begins a new challenge at Paper Ala Mode - Forever Love.  I went with an anniversary card with products from We Are 3.

I made four layers using digital paper from the We Are 3 Something Blue collection.  The cake is also from We Are 3, as is the sentiment from the Wedded Bliss set.

The little flowers are from Heartfelt Creations.

Be sure to stop by the Paper Ala Mode challenge and join us!

Hello Autumn for Creative Memories

WOW!  Just finishing posting layouts from last weeks digital crop, and I think a new crop begins today - that means anothr FABULOUS weekend of sketch challenges at Creative Memories.  Today, though, I posting my last layout from last weekend's virtual digital crop.  There are new challenges every couple hours during the Creative Memories weekend crops.  

I made a layout of some favorite views in my yard.  It was designed in Word.  The papers are from the Hello Autumn kit, and the title was computer-generated.

Just look at our adorable jack rabbit!  We were totally in love with him, but haven't seen him or his friends in years.  The journaling and cactus are digital images from my stash.  The Hello Autumn kit even includes some gems to use as embellishments.

I enjoy the virtual crops so much - I even put most other things aside to participate.  Now hop on over to the Creative Memories Facebook Page to check out the amazing creations by the other participants.  Come join the challenge - you don't have to use Creative Memories products to join in the fun (though using Creative Memories makes you eligible for prizes).  Hope to see you there.

My First Digital Crop with Creative Memories

Oh, yes!  Sketch #4 of the Creative Memories Virtual Digital Crop.  So many cool sketches happened there.  The papers are Hello Autumns.  Creative Memories does the most amazing work creating digital kits, complete with embellishments.  I'm pretty damn proud of the results with this layout.   

Weekend of Digital Cropping at Creative Memories

Here's a simple layout I did for last weekend's virtual digital crop at Creative Memories.  I created a Fall layout using papers from the Hello Autumn set.  The layout was designed on Word. 

The photos are not the greatest, but they definitely bring back some fond memories of Autumn in the Thumb!  Can Michigan Colors be any more beautiful? 

Creative Memories Virtual Digital Crop

Last weekend's virtual crop at Creative Memories was digital.  For this layout, I chose April Showers.  

Be sure to pop over to the crop page and see the lovely work by all the participants.

Virtual Digital Crop at Creative Memories

I played in the Virtual Digital Crop over at Creative Memories this weekend.  For this layout, I used Hello Autumn, Camille's Cactus, Camille's Cactus Flower, and Cactus Greetings.  I used Word to add shadows to give an illusion of depth.  Camille's Cactus and Cactus Greetings are from We Are 3. 

  

We Are 3, You Know

The gorgeous Rainbow Skies is from We Are 3, and I used it with one of the sentiments from the You Know set from We Are 3.  The flowers are colored digitally.  I printed the sentiment directly on top of the background paper for a single-layer feel.   

 

The Outlawz Proressive Freebie March Challenge

Woohoo!  A new Freebie at the Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge.  It's LuLu Bee from Paper Nest Dolls. 

Just ask to join if you haven't already.

I chose to digitally paper piece the image using Bumble Bee (retired) and Just Autumn from We Are 3.

The main image, of course, is the beautiful LuLu Bee.  Isn't she gorgeous?  Her background is from the Bumble Bee collection.  

I couldn't resist adding some pieces of the adorable  Bumble Bee honeycomb pattern.  

Have to say I LOVE how it came out.  Excited to see the rest of the entries?  Hop on over to the Progressive Freebie site to see.  Can't wait to see what you come up with as well.  The challenge runs through the end of the month. 

We Are 3's View

I colored this owl digitally with sepia tones and popped him up against a scene from We Are 3's View collection.  I debated on getting rid of the clouds from the owl image - I decided against it, but think now I made the wrong decision.

 

We Are 3 View

I couldn't resist - the newest collection at We Are 3, View, is designed for slim line cards.  I just had to use it on an A2 card.  I shrunk the slim line design to use as a border background.  I added a fish and a sentiment from the Birthday Wishes set.  SWEET!  Go visit the Facebook page for more inspiration - would love to see your take on the View collection.
