September 2025 Colorful Options

 Hello friends, time for our monthly challenge at Colorful Options 
and we have a pretty wild and very colorful mood board for you.

It took me awhile to decide how I wanted to interpret this though it does say anything goes
I wanted to stay within these colors.  Going through my stencils  I cam across a
Brutus Monroe Quad Pattern stencil (another of my 99cent sale purchases form Simon Says) and thought it would work well for these
colors.  I used all Distress inks for my colors, faded jeans,
carved pumpkin, lumberjack plaid  and squeezed lemonade. 
I then die cut a Tutti Designs oval and topped it with 
Sue Wilson Shadow Box-Celebrations balloon dies, I hand drew the strings.
The sentiment is Easy Expressions from The Ton.

Come on over and have some 'colorful' fun with us.

 Hello All, how do you like our The Neglected Stuff challenges so far?
I know it sure has opened up a lot of opportunity to use my poor NS
and been fun in the process!

My card today features a stamp set I have had around for quite some time
and never got around to use.  It's a cute stamp with a few nice sentiments and
from Creative Expressions Missy Mouse (2021).
She was colored in with a few Olos.  I used a few scrap papers behind and a
trim piece across the top from my spare parts bin, but it is a Cheery Lynn Designs  die.

Thanks for stopping by...happy creating!!

Autumn Greetings

 It's time for our FALL season at The Four Seasons Challenge.
We have a pretty colorful fall mood board for inspiration,
but you can create anything fall.

I let all the fall colors and pretty leaves inspire me and pull out a
never before been used Hero Arts Fall 2023 card kit.

This kit came with a die, inks and a layered stencil plus stamps and a few other things
I didn't use today.  It creates a beautiful card and why haven't I used it before now I'll never know.
But, I do know I will be using it again and again.  The gingham paper is from Lawn Fawn.
This die really has a lot more detail then the photo shows.

That's it for me today...happy crafting!!
