Well, Hello everyone. I can finally say it is starting to feel a little like fall here in Northern California. Oh how I love fall. I especially love it when it gets dark early, My family thinks I am nuts but I feel like I am more productive at night. Silly! Silly! Anyways, I want to share with you all a challenge that I completed today. This was a challenge that really did challenge me too. It is from Papercraft Star , What a fun place to go with some really neat challenges. This specific challenge was "Thank you theme" and you must use dry embossing ,Use a cricut or other die cut and use metal on the project. Well, Here is my project.

Happy Tuesday friends. I am sharing with you all here yet, another challenge that I completed. If it wasn't for challenges, I would probably have a pretty darn boring blog. I love love love challenges, If I ever get into that creative rut, I turn to a challenge and it just goes from there. So, with that being said, Mojo Monday challenges are one of my most fave challenge blogs. For the base of the card, I used Vanilla. The next layer is Brocade Blue. The DP I used was a scrap from my scrap stash and I haven't the slightest idea what it is called or who it is made by. Sorry bout that one, but if you know, Let me know.) The ribbon is "Bluebird" from Stampin Up! The little yellow tag is one that I found in my die cut drawer, It looks as though it is close to Summer sun. I used the sentiment "Thank You" from the Short & Sweet stamp set from Stampin Up! I added some bling to the tag in green. For the flower, I layered some summer sun and punched it with my o...

Happy Friday all my stamping friends. I am so looking forward to a fun filled weekend! How about you all? Any big plans? I started of my weekend by completing a challenge over at Charisma Cards challenge Blog . This challenge was to create something with more than 2 folds. So I created an accordion fold card. My color scheme on this was Pumpkin Pie, Bravo Burgundy, Old Olive and summer sun. I sprayed the green flowers with Olive vine glimmer mist. I wish the camera would have picked up the sparkles of the mist but it is there! My DP is from Echo Park and is called "Playground". I also used a bit of Stampin Up! DP. The sentiment is from "Best Yet" stamp set from Stampin Up! and I put it on Vanilla card stock that I cut out with my Labels 4 nesties. The flowers are also on scallop circle nesties. I finished it off with 3 brads (from my stash) in the bottom right of the creation. There you have it. My multi fold creation. I hope you enjoy what you see and don'...

Happy Thursday friends. I have 2 more challenges that I want to share with you all. They are from Inspirational Card sketches & Color Throwdown . For "Color Throwdown" the colors are . These were great colors to work with! For the flower in the center I used my Stampin Up! Die Flower, Daisies # 2. I love daisies so this is by far my fave die. The DP I used is from a 6X6 Stampin Up! pad. This pad has Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzaz, Peach Parfait, Concord Crush & Poppy Parade. I love the 6X6 pads because there usually isn't any waste and it's perfect for card making. I did add a button in the middle of the flower and added some hemp twine into the button holes. So, there you have it. My 2 challenges. I hope you enjoy my creation, Please don't forget to leave me a comment so I know you were here. Until next time, Happy Crafting!!

The colors were Pink, Green and Ivory. The DP I used is from My little Yellow Bicycle, the Sharon Ann Delightful collection. I also took plain white flowers and used my "Tattered Angels" Glimmer mist(Pink Taffy). I finished of the pink and green flowers with a silver brad.
