Celebrating You

 Today at The Sisterhood of Crafters our theme is music
and we would like to see anything musical on your project!

I have a love for these cute little mousers (on stamps only of course)
and had recently purchased the Stampendous Band of Mice and
it worked perfectly for my card for this theme!

The image was stamped on water color paper and then I water colored it with my Tombow markers.

The sentiment is Altenew Sentiment Strips 2.
 I embossed the bright pink background card stock.

Pop on over to The Sisterhood and be ready for some great musical  themed 
creations from my 'sistahs'!!

Guest Designing at Word Art Wednesday

 Hello friends, I am once again honored to be guest designing this month at

Word Art Wednesday challenge blog!

I created my card using a die cut from Hero Arts Flower Garden Fancy die.
The Bible Verse I was sent to use was the perfect touch to finish 
my card off.  I used a deep purple card stock for the background.

I want to thank Karen and the team for having me guest design!

Make sure to pop on over to the 
Word Art Wednesday challenge blog and join in with the team and myself

they have lots of inspiration there too!!

Christmas Trees

 I have been very busy this week working on a few fun things for our
city Shop Local on Saturday.
My daughter is having a small craft sale in her store front
(photography business)
and I will be setting up there.

I purchased the Concord and 9th Take A Bough Encore die
and have been busily making Christmas trees ever since.
There are 8 dies in this set and you cut each one 4 times, 
yikes, that 32 pieces, but oh so worth it!

I have 8 trees so far, they are approximately 8 1/2" tall.

I still have 5 or 6 more to go!
If that wasn't  enough, I also made 32 Santa and Snowman gift card/money holders
I'll show those at a later time!

Peace On Earth

It's that time again for a new challenge at Peace On Earth
and though it is always anything goes we always have a fun mood board
to give you some inspiration which helps me immensely as I do 
like to work off of that!

I let the lower left corner inspire me with all the pretty Christmas ornaments.
I have been purchasing some of the Tonic weekend specials they have
offered all summer and they had a metallic blue paper included in one
so I used that to die cut my Impression Obsession ornament from.
Geez it was a picky thing to die cut!
The white pearlized background paper I dry embossed
was also part of their weekend sale, I thought it worked good with the blue metallic.
The sentiment is an oldie from SU.

I think a lot of the design team let the mood board inspire them as well,

so head on over and take a peek at their beautiful work and join in with us too
at Peace on Earth!

Praying For You

A new challenge at Double D and our theme is 'TREES'.
There is a mood board below for inspiration 
or you can use any type of tree you want! 

I went with pine trees for my card.  My sentiment was suppose to be
thinking of you but I grabbed the wrong stamp
but it seems to work and will be useful for someone that
could use some prayers or even a sympathy card.

The pink paper background, well all I can say you should see the back of it
as it is from P13 and is gorgeous but the pink side worked well
for this card so I had to suck it up and use it!!

Pop on over to the Double D challenge blog and look at all
the beautiful trees from my teammates, so much talent there!

Autumn Foiled Leaves

A new Anything Goes challenge starts today at 
Dies R Us
and I once again kept within the Fall theme.

I foiled the Tutti Designs  Leaves Background using transfer sheets
and a hot foil machine.
I also used Sue Wilson Sunflower Bouquet and Karen Burniston Autumn Word Set.
The flowers were colored in with Copics.

The second picture really picks up the beauty of the shimmer of the foil.

Two Old Bats November Mid Month Reminder

Well, the Two Old Bats have a mid month reminder that
there are just a couple of weeks left for our November challenge!

We have the fun mood board below to give you a few ideas!
I usually try to come up with something myself using the 
mood board, only because then I don't have to push my brain too much...hah!

I did let the brooms inspire me this month
and created a slimline card, however it was nothing like I had planned
but it still worked out!
I was going to let the bottom left corner inspire me
and had planned on stamping three brooms all in different colors,
that is until I pulled out the broom stamp and discovered it is much
larger then I had remembered!

 Inspiration Board

 I ended up with just one stamped broom, some designer paper
and a sentiment I recently purchased from Simon Says.
The stars below the broom are part of the same broom stamp
and stamped in purple though you can't tell,
The kitty is a Martha Stewart punch, yah, I actually used one of my punches!

We  invite you to join us at our year round
Two Old Bats Halloween challenge
with your boo-tiful creations!
