Eureka Stamps - Challenge #59 - Wings & Things

This week at Eureka Stamps we are all about wings - yep, our challenge is "Wings & Things".  You may think that is rather limiting, but there are plenty of things that have wings - bugs, birds, angels, planes, fairies...the possibilities are endless.

For my project I chose to use 1601 Penguin on Ice and  20105 Chill Out  for my card.  I love this little penguin!!  The ice sparkles a bit because I colored it with Spica Glitter Pens.  The papers I used were pieces/parts from other projects.  I hate to throw away the pieces of paper that I can use another time so often I go to that box to use the parts rather than breaking out another sheet of paper.  
 

I hope you come on over and join the fun this week at Eureka Stamps.  We'd love to see you!!!  Thanks for stopping by today.  God bless you!!! 

Eureka Challenge #58 - Tag You're It!

It's a new week at Eureka Stamps challenge and this week it's all about tags - include a tag on your card or make a tag.  I decided to make a tag...and instead of using ribbon to tie it on the package - I used fun fur yarn.  You can find the image at Eureka Stamps...along with a ton of other great images!!!!

 
So make a tag or card with a tag and come on over to join us.  We'd love to see you!!!!  Blessings to you and your family!!!

Pattie's Creations Challenge #76 - Animals.....and a SALE!

Happy Friday!!!  We've made it to the end of another week....and we've also made it the beginning of a new challenge at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge!  Who doesn't love animals?  Even if you aren't one who has furry friends living with you we all have those cute animal stamps or digi's that we use.  It's time to get them out and join us in our Animal Challenge at Pattie's Creations.  And guess what?  There is no excuse because if you don't have an animal stamp - or you're just tired of yours and want a new one - head on over to Pattie's Etsy Shop because all her images are on SALE!!!  Yep - every image is on sale 40% off (use coupon code PATTIEBOOP1 at checkout).  And I'm sure you'll find more than just one animal digi that you can't resist!  LOL!!

For my card I used "Mr. Bookworm with Books".  Isn't he just the cutest little worm you've ever seen?  I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and then just layered it up with pieces-parts of leftover cardstock and paper.

{PIN}spirational Challenge #75 / Twist of Faith Challenge #55

It's a 2 For 1 Tuesday for me today....since today I have two cards for two different design teams to share.  First up - {PIN}spirational Challenges - challenge #75.  As you may or may not remember, at {PIN}spirational Challenges we have a weekly picture to inspire your creativity.  This week I love the picture since I love Fall:

Isn't that a beautiful picture?  And not just the picture - but the word picture it creates for Fall.  Our sponsors this week are:

My card was using an image from QKR Stampede.  I printed the image on 3 colors of stock and then cut them out and used some Stickles on them.  

Next up for today is Twist of Faith - where our theme this week is Buttons.   I love using buttons!  It's one of my favorite embellishments to use.  Our sponsor this week is:

                                                                              Robyn's Fetish

The image I chose to use is called "Bella the Snow Lady".  I colored her with pencils and then went over the "snow" part with Spica Glitter pen in clear to make her glisten.  To add to the sparkle of the card, I used glitter tape from Darice and then put the buttons on the tape lined down the side.

So now that you have seen two challenges - are you inspired?  By one?  Or maybe even both?  I hope so!!  I'd love to see you at both challenges!!  You could make one card and enter both....so what not get out those buttons and make a Fall themed card this week.  I'm looking forward to seeing what you create.

Thanks for stopping by today and God bless you & your family. 

Eureka Stamps - Challenge #57 - Color Inpiration

This is my favorite time of year - when the temps get cooler and the Fall colors start appearing.  This week at Eureka Stamps we have a color inspiration for you that has some of those fall colors:

 

  

Aren't those just beautiful!!!  I didn't go with a Fall theme for my card but I did keep with the colors.  I used digi5903(412) Best Friends and digi8105(98-522) You're Special.  I thought they were so cute and would be a great friendship card.  I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers and used stash papers and stock.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will join us at Eureka Stamps this week!  Blessings to you and your family.

Strength & Miracles

This new stamp was screaming to be used!  Of course I have lots of stamps that haven't been used (don't we all) and part of my quest is to use what I have and not buy anything new.  So I promise that I didn't buy this one!  :)  A dear friend sent it to me and I fell in love with it because it's such a powerful sentiment.  I made this card for a monthly swap over at SCS.  Not sure what the purples were all about - but it was paper I had and ribbon I had so why not - right?  

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

• Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
• Simon Says Stamp - Emboss it
• Penny's Paper-Crafty - Anything Goes

Thanks for stopping by today!  God bless you!!!!

Twist of Faith - Challenge #54 - Monochromatic

Monochromatic cards is the theme this week at Twist of Faith!  I love making monochromatic cards - it takes a lot of the guess work out of the process.  But sometimes it can even be more of a challenge because sometimes even the same colors won't go together - you know how it goes.  

This week our sponsor is Melonheadz Illustrations.  I love Melonheadz!!!  The images are neat and wow - does Niki have some great collections!!!!

I chose to use a candle for my card this week.  I used to make candles right in my kitchen and so this image brought back a lot of memories for me.  I must admit when I was making candles my house never smelled better!  LOL!! 

 I hope you come on over and join in the fun this week at Twist of Faith!  

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

• Love to Scrap Challenge  - Anything Goes
• Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
• Perfect Sentiments Challenge - Ribbon, Bakers Twine, Seam Binding or all 3
• Loves Rubber Stamps Challenge - Sentiment on the Front
• Twisted Tuesday - Primary Colors w/ Buttons (Ok, so some of the blues are primary!  LOL!!)
• Created with Love - Bingo - used Ribbon, Glitter (on the candle flame), Butons
• Sweet Stampin Challenge - Got the Blues

Blessings to you and your families.  Thank you for stopping by today.
