Papertrey Ink: Make-It-Monday Challenge #31

Hi Friends-
It's Make-It Monday Challenge time at Papertrey Ink!  I just love these challenges, but do not always have the time to participate. With this Monday being labor day, I made the time and I loved the challenge!!! 
Dawn McVey has created a fun challenge this week! She has asked us to use one of Papertrey's stamp sets to create a background paper. Here is my take on this fun idea....

I used "Leaf Prints" stamp set as my background, and "Vintage Picnic" for my focal point.

I colored the basket and pumpkins with my copics. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year! The colors are so yummy!!!

Enjoy and take a peek at all the other great takes on this challenge at:

Note Cards

I have had some fun making several note cards lately and thought I would share a couple with you. I made quite a few with many different papers. I used the same format for all so they would go quickly! I have been trying to build my stash for a quick go to card. That way, if I need a card quickly, I can grab one from my stash and I don't have to worry about having the time to make one. Of course, I always make cards for all my friends and family for those very special occasions. These are cards for those quick thank you's, etc. that I might need on the spur of the moment! So enough said, here they are....

See you soon-Happy craftin!

Birthday Cards

Hi Friends-Wow! Where did the summer go?  I have been missing from action-very busy-but missing from action. That doesn't mean, I wasn't making any cards though! Thought I would share a couple I made for family members this last month.

This was my daughters birthday card. She was a gift card holder!

This was my mom's birthday card. I love the "Wonderful Words" dies from Papertrey ink!

This is my sister's birthday card. I just love "Sassy Cheryl's" Digi images. They are sooo cute and such fun to color too! Here is a close-up of her!

Isn't she sweet......

Yes, lots of birthdays in the month of August to make cards for and we went to Disneyland too! And I was working full time too!  And then a sad note-had a house fire just a couple of days before our trip to Disney. Our propane tank on the B-B-Q blew up and caught the back side of our house on fire and did some damage. We are finally next week going to have new siding, windows, and door put on and then paint the house. So, it was a busy month and that is why I have been missing in action!

Papertrey Ink-Make-It-Monday Challenge #23

This week's challenge at Papertrey Ink is to make a pocket with an edger die on your card. So, this is my take on the challenge-it was a lot of fun-Gotta Love those edger dies!

I used "Edgers #1" die for my pocket edges, and I also used the "Button Up #2" die to make the flowers, and the "Picket Fence" die to make the fence. I used the "Garden Variety" stamp for the grass on the fence, and "Little Bitty Bird" stamp set for the leaves and stem of the flowers, and "Tiny Tags" stamp for the "hello friend" stamp on the small tag.

Enjoy- and take a peek at all the other creative card makers that have joined in the fun:
