One for the Featured Stamper Challenge - a Thank-You theme using the We Are Three Pastel Linen collection combined with a flower from the Pure Prairie Bouquet from Power Poppy. The Pastel Linen collections comes with some great colors. Super clean - I imagine I'll be using these papers a lot.
These gorgeous snowflakes are from Tutti Designs - one of our sponsors for this month's Kerst Christmas Challenge...Ornamental Snowflakes. I wanted to pop them on some Christmas package toppers for packages containing specialty coffee packs - hence the background paper from our other sponsor, We Are 3 - Coffee Lovers. LOL! I added a cup of coffee from Miss Kate Cuttables.
Well, I've caught up with my Kerst Christmas designs after being away for seven weeks. I still obviously tired - today's design won't win any awards. I did have fun coloring the Winter Snowbirds...that's the point, isn't it? I just can't beat myself up. I used the image from the adorable Winter Snowbirds (Jan's Digitals), colored digitally - digital paper from the Floral Delight collection from We Are 3. Only after coloring the image, I realized I have snow where it isn't supposed to be...lol! The sentiment is also from the Winter Snowbirds. I thought for a change to put the sentiment at an angle...not happy with that. I did get my card completed, though! Pretty happy about that.
Here's a holiday scrapbook layout for the Kerst Christmas - June Challenge. June's theme is Ribbon or Lace, and I used a ribbon bow on my tag. I used digital paper from We Are 3 (Christmas Textures), sentiments from our sponsor, Jan's Digitals, and I digitally colored Christmas Bears from our sponsor, Last-Minute Manda.
Here is December 26 (Paper Shelter). I used the pre-colored version, with papers from We Are 3 to create a Birthday card for my sister who "celebrates" her birthday the day after Christmas.
The sentiment is computer-generated. Be sure to checkout the Kerst Christmas Challenge to see the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.
Using December 26 (The Paper Shelter), pre-colored. Papers from my stash and loads of trees also from The Paper Shelter.
Sharing another card created for the Kerst Christmas Challenge using the sweet Little Santa Deck the Halls, available from Last-Minute Manda. Last-Minute Manda is the current sponsor for this month's challenge - Use a Santa. Thank you so much, Manda! I love Manda's Santas. I enjoy every minute of coloring them and am quite pleased with the outcome.
I used Little Santa Deck the Halls (Last-Minute Manda), a star frame, and lots and lots of poinsettias. Simple card. The background was embossed.
It's another exciting day for We Are 3 as we're introducing a brand new paper collection - Stained Glass. I used a faux tile effect here, along with a gorgeous sentiment by We Are 3.
WooHoo! A new paper collection today at We Are 3 with a theme everyone is waiting for - Spring Fling!
The bunny is covered with chocolate glitter - been in my stash for years.
The sentiment is from Tea Tags, colored digitally with the purple paper and tied on with baker's twine. The Tea Tags are also We Are 3.
The last day of the Easter Tag challenge, and here I am finished! These adorable bunnies were a freebie from Crafts U Print. To be honest, I've been wanting to put them together for a while, cut didn't have a use for them.
Crafts U Print are so generous with their freebies.
Yikes! My machine hates me this week! I haven't replaced the blade in years....and had little trouble....but I replaced the blade today, and it just does not want to work! Ugh! Here's what should have been a quickie - but literally spent days adjusting the machine - did this one for the Ecal Users Group - which actually requires using the machine! It's yet another Easter Tag....or Spring Tag I should say.
It's time for the Tag Challenge on the Ecal Users Group Facebook Page , and we're celebrating Easter. This time my tag is a little more off-beat. Can you think of anything more Easter than the Easter bunny? I remember one Easter when I was about 8 that my Uncle Steve walked in the house with a grocery bag full of Easter bunnies for me - well, maybe there were two or three - but none would have made my mother a happier person. I, on the other hand, was so excited and happy! For this tag, I used the adorable Multi-Layer Easter Tag, currently available for free here at Design Bundles. I used ink-blended papers from Fairy Hugs that reminded me of bright Easter colors.
OMG! I missed the last Ecal challenge or two! Not sure what I was so involved with that I would space out on Ecal Challenges. Do you believe it's Spring already? Be still my heart. So here's my first tag for the Spring Tag Challenge using a tag from Miss Kate Cuttables. I colored Primrose Kitten digitally and added a sentiment from my stash.
I'm especially thrilled today to be sharing a card for the Text Challenge - sharing a beautiful Christmas wreath from our sponsor, Mirtillamente. Meet Christmas Deco. I'm so proud of how my wreath turned out.
Today I have one for a friend who has been visiting from Canada. He will be leaving soon, so we are sending him off with some goodies for the road trip from Arizona to Canada. I found the basic elements from Little Scraps of Heaven (On the Road Again). I quickly added a cactus and sun rays for our Arizona and snowflakes from my stash for what he will find at home in Canada. The vehicle is popped up for some dimension.
This past weekend was the Creative Memories Virtual Crop - with loads of inspiration. This first layout is the last of the Cookie Monster album.
So I hope you go and take a look around the Creative Memories Virtual Crop Facebook page. The site has lots of cuties.
