We Are 3 Love

There's a brand new set of sentiments at We Are 3, and today it's my pleasure to introduce you to the Love set.  I went with a simple card, adding the We Are 3 printable Winter, as well as the fab Paisley Texture for the background.

New Release at We Are 3

Gotta say, the new Life sentiments cheer me up a bit.  I used background paper from the Fantasy Textures collection.  Thought this was the perfect background with the beautiful colors.  Finally, I used some daisies.  Please be sure to visit the We Are 3 Facebook Pge to be totally inspired.

Happy Birthday!

You know I love me some DIY gift bags.  I decorated this using paper from We Are 3 (Lace Texture).  I framed the sentiment (Special Birthday) to add on top.

The sentiment frame is from 7 Monogram Frames from Love SVG.

Happy Halloween from Witchy Pumpkin

 Woo Hoo!  It's Halloween Week!  Happy Halloween!  I wasn't sure I'd get my pumpkin finished before Halloween.  Just so much on my plate right now.  My mind is on overload - this is the only nice Halloween project finished this year from the many I had planned.  I think it's kind of cute.  Meet Witchy Pumpkin.  


Happy Halloween!

Autumn

Our new Paper Ala Mode Challenge for The Outlawz begins today with the theme of "Autumn."  We'd like you to make a paper project that reflects your love for the Fall season.  Maybe it's the colorful leaves, or pumpkins, or just the cooler temps.  I chose the beautiful papers called Pumpkin Delight.  These papers evoke the beauty of Autumn.   

This Big Boutique Box is embellished with a printable and sentiment from We Are 3 - Pumpkin Labels and Itty Bitty Fall.  We'd love to have you join our challenge on the Paper Ala Mode page - come see gorgeous inspiration from the Design Team.  There are  also daily challenges at The Outlawz - so do check them out, too.

Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper Challenge

Of course, I chose an easy card to CASE - as usual - for the Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper Challenge.  It happens far too often these days.  I do LOVE clean and simple cards, though.

Creative Memories October Sketch Challenge

The gorgeous papers I used here came from an older paper pack from We Are 3 - Bumble Bee.  The colors and feel are perfect.  I added the computer-generated cake topper I made for my grandson's birthday.  The Creative Memories sketches this month were amazing.  You can find more We Are 3 digital papers here.  The "journaling" is a sentiment from the Special Wishes set.

QUINCINEARA!!!

Woo Hoo!  Mikah is turning 15!  So I couldn't resist scrapbooking her beautiful celebration.  Tell me she isn't the most precious thing ever!  This layout was done using a free Serape digital paper from Creative Fabrica and Pumpkin Roses from The Hungry JPEG.

Virtual Crop at Creative Memories

I'm very excited that I was able to complete all the sketches at this month's Creative Memories Virtual Crop.  The first sketch I took on was fairly simple.

I chose digi papers from the Bumble Bee pack (a total must have).

I really, really, really love this layout.

Layers at Ecal Users

I belong to a fun Facebook group called Ecal & SCAL Users that has some great challenges for using fabulous SVG files.  The latest challenge is Layers.  I had already planned to make a layered cross for a friend celebrating her Quinceañera, and I immediately thought of using this fabulous file for the challenge.

This file has four layers.  The top layer is printed using Enameled Gold paper from Nothing but Freebies.  I was going for more of a gold layer - but for some reason I wasn't getting gold in my printing.

I really had a ball doing a project that's a bit of a change of pace for me, but I certainly plan to do more.  I love the layered crosses.

New Color Challenge

Today I'm showcasing the Bumble Bee digi paper collection from We Are 3.  Since the current color challenge at The Outlawz is shades of yellow, I thought this would be a great time time to get a little caught up on my grandson's scrapbook - which is shades of yellow and blue.   


The bumblebee theme I'm using in this scrapbook is so much fun.  You can always count on We Are 3 to inspire with papers with beautiful colors.  Come and join the color challenge and show us your yellows!

We Are 3 Inky Textures and Autumn Greetings

Don't faint!  It's yet another simple card for me today. I'm using Inky Textures for my background, and the sentiment comes from the new Autumn Greetings set.

The new release at We Are 3 is Inky Textures.  I used Inky Textures for this Z-Fold card - available in the We Are 3 Etsy Shop.

I sure had fun making this card.  Be sure to visit the We Are 3 Facebook page and grab some inspiration from the extremely talented design team.  Now start thinking "Inky" and please join in by sharing what you make with this plaper pack.  I can't wait to see what you create.

New Challenge at The Outlawz!

Today's card is for the October Progressive Freebie Challenge at The Outlawz - these freebies always push my creative limit.  They always end up being fun!  The challenge this month is Tiff's Garden, sponsored by Oddball Art.  To tell you the truth - I seldom have ideas and get a bit overwhelmed with coming up with something creative...but are usually excited with the results! It's a simple card using one of the digi papers from We Are 3's Inky Textures pack. The image is digitally colored.  The lovely paper from Inky Textures make a perfect background.   Be sure to stop by The Outlawz to see the fab makes by everyone and come play along.

Inky Textures Release at We Are 3

So excited about the new papers at We Are 3.  Can you guess what it is?

Yes, it's Inky Textures.  These creative ink-blending backgrounds have won the hearts of crafters - the beautiful blended papers without the mess!

I made a simple card.   I accented the background with some fall flowers.  The border is a punch from Martha Stewart.
