Paper Sweeties Baby Blog Hop

Hello Friends-

Hope you are having a sunny, creative weekend! The weather here in Northern California is absolutely beautiful this weekend! I have spent my weekend playing tennis, cropping with my mom and sister, and of course the dreaded household tasks of groceries, laundry and household chores that we must all face! But, even with that the weather has made the task uplifting!

Last night I made a card to enter into the Paper Sweeties Baby Blog Hop.

One of the Design Team members Jinny is blessed to be having another baby, and what a better way to celebrate with those of us not so close, but to have a blog hop to wish her well! As I have four wonderful children and now their other halves and 7 grand children, I know all too well what lies ahead for her (happiness and joy of being a parent, friend, and grandparent)! :) Congrats Jinny!

Here is my card I made for her to wish her all the happiness and joy life will bring!

 

The papers I used are from Bella Blvd. "Baby Boy" collection and the stamps are from Papertrey Ink! I so wanted to use Paper Sweeties product, buuuuutttt......hmmmm.didn't have any little boy items! I know what I have to put on my wish list! :)

 

Join the fun over at Paper Sweeties (you have until the 30th of Oct.) and take a look at what the Design Team members have created to wish Jinny and family congrats!

 

Have a great Sunday-

Shabby Tea Room-Week # 188 "Fall"

Hi there friends-

Sorry this is late posting! My blog and I had a glich last night apparantly, and it didn't post on the scheduled time zone this morning as planned. Will have to figure that one out?

This week, Linda has asked us all to create a card/project with this beautiful inspiration photo. I just love the warm cozy feel this photo gives me as I look at it.

 

 

With this photo in mind, Linda also asks us to INCLUDE A FALL THEME, PUMPKINS AND A STAMPED SENTIMENT!

 

Our sponsor this week is Janet from

Digital Papers by Janet Etsy

 

 

For my card, I used her digital collage paper

"Autumn Wind Set"

I just love this little girl with her wind blown hair and the leaves and acorns swirling about!

 

Check out the other "Shabby Girls" designs too, and play along with us in The Shabby Tea Room.

Shabby Tea Room-Challenge

Happy Monday Friends-

I sure hope you all had a fabulous sunny weekend. It was absolutely georgeous, here in Northern California.

So, this week, at The Shabby Tea Room, Leslie has challenged us with a sketch.

I decided to use fall colors, because I absolutely love fall and all the elements that fall provides, from the seasonal colors, weather, and all the outdoor fun that goes along with this season.

Recipe:

Papers: Echo Park "Reflections-Fall," Papertrey Ink Cardstock

Stamps and Die: Paper Sweeties-"Abigail," "You Are Fabulous," Papertrey Ink-"Sunflower Boutique" Sentiment

Misc.: Twine, Burlap Trim, Mini Brads, Copic Markers

I colored little Abigail with my Copic Markers and paper pieced her clothing and socks/shoes. I put brads in where the stamped buttons were-just love how she turned out-fun, fun!!

Our sponsor this week is Paper Sweeties. If you haven't been to Debbie's little shop to see the cute stamps and dies, then you must hurry on over-they are very cute, and oh so fun to play with! I am loving them!!

City Crafter Challenge Blog Week 178 - Flower Power

Hey Friends-

This week at City Crafters, Char has a great challenge lined up for us!

She is asking us to use this photo for inspiration, and to add a minimum of 5 flowrs and use at least 2 different backgrounds, either mixed media or paper backgrounds.

 

Wow-pretty photo-and great challenge! So, I set to work, my wheels were turning, and I thought, this is the perfect time to use one of my Prima Doll stamps and canvas, that I have been wanting to do for a while now! So, here is what I ended up with!

 

I used "Echo Parks, Hello Summer" paper pad, along with a variety of flowers, some handmade, others from various companies. I added some texture with a stencil from "My Favorite Things," and texture paste, washi tape, brads, vintage crochet lace, doilies, felt leaves, tulle, and a Prima Mixed Media Doll Stamp, by Julie Nutting. All of these elements were added to a 12x12 canvas frame.

 

Here are some close-ups of my girl, which I colored her skin and hair with my Copic markers, and paper pieced her clothing and added some tulle for a little extra fun between the layers of her skirt!

 

I made a little clay flower to attach to her headband and to the lace next to her feet! So much fun!

 

I had so much fun with this, and I love how it turned out! I never know what will happen when I start, as I just start tearing paper, and applying it to the canvas-no rhyme, no reason-just go for it, is my motto!

 

Hope you enjoyed it, and thanks for stopping by-

Shabby Tea Room-Challenge #185

Good Monday Morning Friends-

Fall is starting to show itself, a slight bit, here in the north state. So, this next challenge at The Shabby Tea Room, is perfect timing. Aneta has provided us this wonderful Fall inspiration photo to work with. The theme is "The Splendor of Fall!"

 

For this challenge, Aneta asks that we use "Apples," somehow on our project or card design. Now, I love rootbeer floats, but I went with the colors of the float, and the apples, and made a card with carmel apples-cause that just screams "Fall" to me, and I am in the mood for Fall!

So, this is what I came up with!

 

My card Recipe:

 

Papers: DCWV-"The Green Stack," Graphic 45-"French Country," and PTI-"Cardstock."

 

Stamps and Dies-PTI-"Friendship Jar," "Friendship Jar Fall Fillers."

 

Misc: Black Seam Binding Ribbon, Vintage Crochet Lace, Twine

The sponsor for this week's challenge prize is "Crafty Secrets."

 

 They carry vintage images, stamps, as well as wonderful vintage CD's with all kinds of images ready to be printed off. Check them out and have some fun!

 

 

Check out what the Design Team members have for you to become inspired by this week!
