We Are 3 Painted Strokes

I'm gearing up for Halloween - well, when I looked at myt scraps of Painted Strokes, I just thought a small Halloween treat would be perfect.  This small treat carrier uses a piece of paper only 4-1/4" x 2-1/4" - and a simple embellishment.  Great use of scraps and stash! 

Susan's Scrap Club Happy Thanksgiving

Here is a card inspired by the card Susan shared with us during Susan's Scrap Club class.  The card was totally fab and super easy.   

And inside?  

   

Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper Challenge

Good morning!  Hope you had a lovely weekend.  The card is inspired by this week's Featured Stamper card at Splitcoast.  The card I CASED was inked, but i instead created the effect with digital patterned papers from Ladybug Lace Too.  The sentiment is We Are 3's Baby Wishes.

  

The Creative Confetti Challenge and Teacake with Strawberries

The challenge at Power Poppy this week is Tag, You're It. 

I started with pulling out my Fuse Tool and some plastic and make a tag I could fill with sequins for a shaker tag.  The image is Tea Cake with Strawberries from Power Poppy.  I added some paper flowers for accents.  If you love coloring as much as I do, go have a play at the Creative Confetti Challenge!

Look Up - It's Snowing

This month at We Are 3, we have lots of new releases. For this layout, I chose Snowman Wonderland and Snowman Scene for my embellishments - I thought they fit nicely with my holiday photos. The patterned papers are from the Look Up collection, and the holly accent is from the Holly Berry collection. I printed small version of the snowmen and created tags, accented with burlap string. Be sure to take a look at all the yummy cards the design team has created for the January release.

                                        

Hues to Use at Power Poppy

Just wanted to show you a card I made inspired by this week's Hues to Use at Power Poppy.  I broke down today and bought myself a new stamp set - Sweet Simple Things.  I LOVE this image!!  My background paper is from the Framed Neutral Collection from We Are 3.

Hot Pepper Wishes!

Today I have a "hot" card I made using a "mystery item" for our local SALSA group.  The mystery item was the patterned paper used in the left panel, complete with red and green peppers.  I found some complementing red and green papers from We Are 3's Holiday Letters collection.  I cut out some peppers from the mystery item to embellish.  Don't you just love the red-glittered peppers?

Snowflake Kisses

I used We Are 3's new Snowflake Kisses sentiment and Nautical digital papers to create this STUNNING ornament.  Just looking at it speaks for itself!  No go run, don't walk, over to We Are 3's Facebook page and start following if you want to be inspired with digital papers. 

         

Fun and Interesting Fairy Mail

My turn to share a project over at We Are 3,  Today I made a simple card with a masculine touch using the July Release Fairy Mail.  The sentiment comes from Early Bird Sentiments.

Please check out We Are 3 Facebook Page to see more designs using Fairy Mail.

             

Get Ready for Another Challenge

Another sketch challenge.  Thank you, Scrapbook Challenges, for always creating inspirational challenges that encourage me in my creative life.

Not all that pleased with my page - though layouts are always enhanced once pictures are added.  Unfortuantely, I don't get to share these great layouts with my grandson's pictures.  In hindsight, I needed to spritz this page - but wasn't in the mood for a mess (which is what that always means to me).

For the journaling, I used lyrics from Tiny Dancer (Tim McGraw).  These lyrics will describe my pictures perfectly, as the pictures I had to work with for this layout were of Damien driving his little Playskool car, having fun in every child's favorite toy - a cardboard box, one of him sleeping in the Playskool car, and one of him wrapped all up in a University of Michigan blanket - sleeping with the dog.  I'm not a journaler - and hate my handwriting - so often rely on song lyrics for my journaling - I smiled when I read these words and how they described Damien's day perfectly.

Quail Art

Happy Monday, Everyone!  I have a card gift pack today.
