Happy For You

Hello friends, our CAS challenge at Simply Clean & Simple
has a new OPTIONAL theme this month and it is
BASKETS, but you can create anything as long as you keep it CAS!!

I have had this cute little stamp set from 
Your Next Stamp Spring Kitty and this is the first it's seen ink!

I stamped it on a Cottage Cutz scalloped circle then colored it in
with Copics.  A strip of an embossed panel from a SU folder was
added along with a The Ton Easy Expressions sentiment 

Come on over to Simply Clean & Simple and
have some 'simple' fun with us!!

Special Day

Hello friends, at Triple B we have a pretty and inspiring mood board
for our challenge which is all about Butterflies, Birds and/or Blooms.
You can use one, two, or all three in any color as our board is
for inspiration only. 

Since yellow IS my favorite color I let those gorgeous yellow roses inspire me
and used a layering Hero Arts Peony Bunch stencil for my card.  I planted a yellow
Peony two years ago and last year was the first time I had yellow peonies, so gorgeous!

I used mostly Altenew and one Dew Drop ink for my card.  I am on the lookout for about
four yellow inks from light to dark, any recommendations are welcome.
The sentiment is a Stampendous, a few PFS half gold pearls were added.

We would love to have you join us with your butterflies, blooms, or birds at Triple B!!

Rainy Halloween

It's a rainy day at our Two Old Bats Halloween challenge
and we have the mood board to prove it, BUT, it is
for inspiration only and you can create anything with the Halloween theme. 

I did let the rain inspire me with a rainy day Halloween card using
my Sizzix Rain Clouds embossing folder to start.  My skeleton is from a free die 

I received from scrapbookdotcom with an order.
He is holding an umbrella from a die cut by Cottage Cutz Stitched 
Suns, Clouds, and Umbrella.  Funny thing about this die is that non

of my die cut pieces have stitches on them as stated or shown on their site,
I am 'stitch less' lol!  Anyhow I die cut it from a scrap that was just sitting here and

it happened to have a skull on it, so perfect.  The pumpkin is a

Cheery Lynn Designs die.

 A new challenge starts today at our Word Power blog,
the challenge that is all about your sentiment taking center stage,
no little sentiments here!

If you visit or follow my blog often, by now you have probably
figured out I am a buy what is on sale crafter, I just can't resist the sales.
My Spellbinders 3D THANKS embossing folder is one of my sale
items.  Sometimes during their warehouse sales the folders are $1, $2, $3
and at that price I just can't resist, I mean who could right?
I ran the folder thru my Switch a couple of times on a Core'dinations 
whitewash paper and sanded to the color underneath.
I love how it makes the sentiment stand out.  I then added a few small
Katy Sue 3D flowers I had put together,  finishing it off perfectly.

So, get out those BIG words/sentiments and come join in our fun!!

Birthday Fun

 At Colorful Options Challenge we are all about SPRING and the pretty
colors of YELLOW!  Not a fan of yellow, then you can always do
rainbow colors!  We have a pretty mood board for inspiration!

I was inspired by the pretty yellow tulips, one of my favorite Spring flowers.
I used a Spellbinders Wonderful Tulips Layered Stencil with Altenew inks
Buttercream, Warm Sunshine, Snapdragon, Firefly, Grass Field, and Shadow Creek
along with a Dew Drop Dandelion.  The sentiment is a Stampendous.

Come on over to Colorful Options and have some pretty Springtime fun with us!
