Let's Fly with We Are 3

I am thrilled to share a Halloween card today!  It uses papers from none other than We Are 3!

We are 3 is best known for their beautiful digital papers, as well as their fun coordinating images.

                                      

Snowy Delivering Presents (Hat with Tassle) by Conie Fong

Here's a quick card using my stash - Just for You, Woodland Christmas, Bird's View, and Hello.  Easy to make gorgeous cards when using beautiful papers from We Are 3!

The design is from this week's Wednesday Sketch at The Outlawz Challenges.

               

June Wedding

It's 14 years since we got married - and after two false starts, I have finally completed my wedding album. Here is my last page - programs fans we used since it was an outside wedding.

I absolutely loved working on my album - though am glad it's finished finally.  Now I flip through it thinking of all the things I would have done differently!  LOL!

Autumn View and Autumn Scene by We Are 3

Here is a fun card that is perfect for Autumn Greetings and for Thanksgiving.  All the fun elements are from We Are 3. 

                                       

Just for You

Autumn is definitely on the way, and I know most of you will be enjoying beautiful fall colors. Here in Arizona, however, it's pretty much the same old thing. LOL! So, today I am sharing a card with a Palo Verde fkiwer - or should I say, an "altered" Palo Verde as Palo Verde blossoms are actually yellow - and don't get large enough to be put in a vase.

The papers come from the Just For You collection at We Are 3. The sentiment, also from We Are 3, is from the Autumn collection.  Get these today at We Are 3 - Last day for 40% off everything!

    

Ms. Scarecrow with Squirrels by Createful Heart

This month at The Outlawz, Ms Scarecrow with Squirrels is the image from Createful Heart.

The design is a CASE of this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoast Stampers - Roadhouse Greetings.  I created the background using paper from the SunFlower collection at We Are 3.

Why not come and play along this month?  Go here for more info.  You have until 6 p.m. September 30 to participate.  It's fun to see all the different ways members use the image - so tell your friends to join in also!

Christmas Card

For this card I used a favorite stamp from SheepSki Designs (Perfect Pointe) and some holly from my scrapbooking stash.

Today's Paper Ala Mode Challenge is Non-Birthday Celebration.  My card is a nod to celebrating Christmas with the Nutcracker Suite.  I had fun making this card using We Are 3's Holiday Letters.  I also used a little Tones of Gray for the tag.

                    

Fairy Mail

Today I am sharing a masculine card made using papers form the extraordinary collection Fairy Mail by We Are 3.

Fall Inspiration

Help usher in Autumn with colors of orange, red, and gold. Fall was my favorite time of year living in Michigan many years ago - I loved seeing leaves drift from tree branches. For today's card, I used paper from the Fall Inspiration collection and sentiment from the Harvest collection - all at We Are 3. Who wouldn't love to receive this card from a friend?

Now it's time for my scrappin' friends to hop on over to We Are 3 and purchase this beautiful digital paper and sentiment because today it's all on sale - 40% Off!

         

Frame Cards with Power Poppy

There is a fun challenge for all you cardmakers out there at Power Poppy - using a frame on your card.  I colored these shamrocks (Wish You Luck - Power Poppy) using Gimp and imported them for a single-layer card with a frame.  I am really happy with my finished card.

For my papers, I used Once Upon a Time from We Are 3.

Have a Merry Christmas

Today I have a fun card to share with you using We Are 3's Dandelion Wishes digital paper collection.  I am so excited to be making several pop-up Christmas cards as a hostess gift for my cousin.

I used 'Tis the Season Pop-Up Cards SVG from Dreaming Tree for the inside and Cute Mittens, Holiday Card Kit, and Independence Borders from Miss Kate Cuttables to embellish the front.

I Do Love Monochromatic!

Today's card uses Whale from Angie's Digital Stamps for Paper Ala Mode's Challenge - Monochromatic.  There's something about monochromatic cards that I adore, and for this one I tried a new technique, so had a lot of fun making it.

For the blue background behind the whale, I wanted to get a stenciled effect - but using Gimp, rather than stencils and inks.  I used Lattice 39 from Monica's Creative Room for my stencil, then used a "watercolor" technique I've been practicing to get the stenciled effect.

Buttons and Lace at SALSA

Today I'm sharing a card for the Mystery Item for our local SALSA swap.  We received some pink crocheted fringe with buttons hanging from it.

I pulled my decorative scissors out to free-cut the background squares, and I popped up die-cut hearts to give my card a little dimension.  I embellished my card with the mystery item - I cut up the piece of crocheted fringe and took off the buttons to glue directly to the front of my card.  I used papers I found from my first attempt at my wedding album.

Blackboard Jungle

Today I am sharing another tag for our local SALSA swap.  

This month's theme is Blackboard Jungle.  

      

Layout with Vintage Carnival

One of my favorite ways to celebrate family is through scrapbook layouts.  Check out this layout using Vintage Carnival from We Are 3.

Summer in the City

I have a fun Featured Stamper card to share with you today.  The image is the Tucson Landscape, an svg file from Vector Digital Shop. 

Vintage Carnival Digital Papers

Vintage Carnival is one of my favorite collections from We Are 3....something that brings back memories of my childhood.....remember all the local amusement parks when we were young?  Well this collection is a throwback to those days....always reminds me of the weathered appearance of carnival rides.  I've been using this collection for my grandson's latest scrapbook - and every time I create a layout, I'm hit with a wave of nostalgia.  You can check out this collection here.

Birthday parties - remember those - so fun!
