Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge

Hi, there!  I don't know what's come over me.  I'm entering another challenge that I found out about on my friend Virginia's blog.  I'm entering the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge Watermelon Wonder.  I was drawn to it by the inspiration photo.  I'm attempting to expand my horizons as it were by entering more challenges. Those with a photo inspiration both intrigue and scare me because it's totally up to the participant as to what to create.  Here's the inspiration photo:



And here's my card using the less dominate colors of green and yellow.  The lemon doesn't appear very yellow in the photo, but it's stamped on yellow paper and popped up.

Stamps:  Sublime Citrus - Fresh Squeezed Stamps; Inks: CTMH Lagoon & Topiary; Cardstock & Bling: My stash; Washi Tape: Recollections.

I had fun making this card.  Hope you like it!

Runway Inspired Challenge #41

Good morning!  I've decided to do something different for me - I've entered the Runway Inspired Challenge.  I saw Virginia Lu's DT post and was totally inspired.  Virginia is so talented - she's a true artist - and she's my friend.  I visit her blog daily.

Here's the inspiration photo from RIC #41:

And here's my card:

Supplies:  CS and DP CTMH; Sentiment, CTMH; Bling, my stash.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

613 Avenue Create Challenge #31-Anything Goes: Use a Sentiment Twist

Hi, Everyone,

I have taken a bit of a blog break due to a visit from my grandson.  But I'm back now. This week's challenge at 613 Avenue Create is Anything Goes with a Sentiment Twist.  Here's my inspiration for you, using Rick St. Dennis' Snowman with a Squirrel image:

I need Christmas cards so I was pleased to use this cute image.  Card Stock & DP:  Recollections; Baker's Twine: Martha Stewart; sentiment: CTMH Say It in Style; ink:  CTMH Desert Sand, Black; Distress Markers and Sharpies; Sequins - WalMart.  It's hard to tell from the picture, but the snowman and decorations have a bit of sparkle from CTMH Stardust Glitter Glue and a Jelly Roll glitter pen.

I'm entering a few challenges:  Mema's Crafts - Anything Goes; Make It Monday - Anything Goes; and Sparkle Creations Weekly Christmas Card Challenges - Optional Sketch.

Option Create Your Own Challenge at 613 Avenue Create

Hi, Friends! Our Twist for our Anything Goes Challenge at 613 Avenue Create is to Create Your Own Challenge using a chart.  Our sponsors are Rick St. Dennis and  QKR Stampede. 



My image is Rick St. Dennis' 3 Chimney Cottage.  I used the first column:  Image, Patterned Paper, Solid Color Paper,Vellum and a Sentiment:

I did not color the image.  I really like it that way - I think it gives the card a vintage feel, especially with the black and white DP.  The cardstock and DP are from CTMH. My sentiment is on vellum. It was in a package of sentiments gifted to me by a friend several years ago.  I used a Martha Stewart punch on the red paper and colored plain bling with a Sharpie.  The card is 5 x 5.

I'm entering these challenges:  Designer Challenge - Square Card; Creative Fingers Challenge Blog - Anything Goes; and The Sisterhood of Crafters - Black, White and One Accent Color.

You'll want to see what the other DT members have created, and don't forget to see who won last week.  Get crafty and post your project! 



613 Avenue Create Challenge 25: Anything Goes-Create a Fat Page

Our new challenge at 613 Avenue Create is Anything Goes - Create a Fat Page.  I've never made a fat page before.  It's 4 x 4 and "heavily embellished."  Now my inherent CAS style does not allow me to heavily embellish - I just can't do it.  Here's my fat page, as heavily embellished as I could manage which is not so much...

Our sponsor is Lacy Sunshine.  I used her Flowers on a Cloud image. I colored it with water color pencils and fussy cut it.  I made the rainbow using Memento inks and adhered it behind the flowers.  The additional clouds and airplane were cut on my Cricut months ago so I don't remember which cart I used.  The sentiment is from CTMH A Rainbow, punched out with a Fiskars punch (I think).  I distressed the edges of the fat page and the clouds and popped up two clouds.  There is a bit of bling on the sentiment.

We'd like to see what you make. You have a week :)

I'm entering these challenges:  Challenges 4 Everybody - Anything Goes; Sentimental Sundays - For the Girls; Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Anything with Wings.
