CRAFT Challenge #718 - Shaped Card

 It's time for a new CRAFT Challenge!  We would love for you to join us this week in creating a shaped card

Our Sponsor this week is -

Star Stampz

I have used an image provided by our wonderful sponsor called Mushroom Fairy.  For the shaped card I used my much loved gokreate XXL Frilly Frame #7.  

We would sure love to have you drop by the CRAFT Challenge blog to take a look and then be inspired to create your own shaped card to add to the linky.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

As You Like It Challenge #283 - Soft or Bold Colors

It's time for another As You Like It Challenge. This fortnight our challenge theme is to share your favorite, soft or bold colors. For a chance to win our prize or top-3 spot, your project needs to show your favorite and you need to tell us why you've made your choice. That way, we can all appreciate why it's your favourite.

I tend to use a lot of soft or neutral colors in my card making. There is just something comforting and homey about them.  I think this bathroom with the soft peach towels and rug and the soft colored wallpaper looks so relaxing and cozy.

We would love for you to head back to the AYLI blog to link up your creation.  While you are there, check out the prize that's up for grabs and take a look at the gorgeous creations the DT made for you to see!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Little Red Wagon #754 - Shapley

Yay!  It's Wednesday again, therefore we have a new challenge for you over at Little Red Wagon challenge.  Janice is our wonderful hostess this week and she is asking to see something "Shapely".  She is looking for a project shape other than a square or rectangle.  Easy peasy, right?

 As you can see, I went for another rocker card.  (And this week I will actually try to get it linked up😳).  They are fun to make and certainly fall outside the square or rectangle shape.  I used a digi from The Cat's Pajamas April release called Bunnies in Flight and one of Alma's punny sentiments from the set.

Why don't you join us this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up. While you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.

PS - Please forgive me for my lack of visits and comments.  I have been in the process of destashing and moving my craft room in preparation for a home renovation.  So far we have only been waiting 15 months for the permit, but we are being told we are getting close.  That's slow even for Hawaiian time.😎

CRAFT Challenge #717 - Recycle/ATG

 We have a new challenge up for you over on the CRAFT Challenge blog.  We would love for you to join us this week in creating with something you have recycled or has to do with recycling and anything goes.

Our Sponsor this week is -

I had the pleasure of using one of the darling images our sponsor provided for us this week called Flower Dreams.  I created the bottom background layer by gluing some packing paper to a paper that was headed to the trash bin.  The pattern paper was misprinted on 20# paper so I glued it to another piece of paper that had been dirtied.  Lastly the tag was cut down from a retail clothing tag including the twine.  

Join us over at the CRAFT Challenge blog!  Let's see what you can recycle.

I appreciate your visit!

Aloha,
Brenda

Little Red Wagon #753 - Show Us Your Eggs (Easter projects)

 

Chrissy is our fab hostess this week over at Little Red Wagon.  Her challenge this week is to "Show Us Your Eggs (or Easter projects)".  I'm sure you've taken some pics of the lovely projects you created.  

As you can see I used some older, NBUS dies to create little Easter treat boxes for my family.  I stamped a little Happy Easter on each panel.  Using up those scraps again for this project!  That always makes me happy.

Why don't you give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up. While you're there, be sure to check out the wonderful projects the other Girlfriends have created.

Aloha,

TCP - It Came Back

 

Happy Tuesday! I'm here with a quickie card that I personally think I'm going to make again to hang somewhere in my house.  I absolutely adore the fun sentiments from Don't Feed the Dust Bunnies Digistamp.  And they work perfectly with the cute images from Shine On Digistamps.

 

 

To make this card, I used Silhouette Studio to create a background of patterned paper from Spring is Here and just sized and placed the sentiment on top and printed. Next I picked the little duster and spray bottle  from Shine On.  They were sized, printed and colored with Copic markers.  I can't currently get to my electronic cutting machine, so I fussy cut the images and layered everything on a piece of white card.  So fun, and quick to do!

Here are all the digital designs from the March release I used for this project -

As You Like It Challenge #282 - Clean or Fussy

 

It's Thursday again and time for a new As You Like It Challenge.  This fortnight our challenge theme is to share your favorite, clean or fussy. For a chance to win our prize or top-3 spot, your project needs to show your favorite and you need to tell us why you've made your choice.  That way, we can all appreciate why it's your favourite.  

This week our sponsor is:

Honestly, I just love making any kind of card.  Sometimes I love creating clean cards and other times, I really have fun making fussy cards.  This time I have to say fussy.  This card doesn't have a lot going on at first glance, but it did take several steps to complete it and I loved the process it took and all the texture that was achieved.  There is the stenciled "wallpaper", the stained and glossed floor, the potted plants and the sentiment sign.  It was all such fun to create with Frantic Stamper Stamps and dies.

We would love for you to head back to the AYLI blog to link up your creation.  While you are there, check out the prize that's up for grabs and take a look at the gorgeous creations the DT made for you to see!  

Thanks for stopping by!
