Hero Arts Challenge

Hi Girls,

Wow, another end to a weekend. They sure do fly by so fast.

I made a card to participate in the Hero Arts challenge to use non-traditional Christmas colors for a Christmas card. So this is what I came up with.

I actually used all Hero Arts stamps on this one, and I mixed in some embossing.

Gotta run, my computer is acting up.... Hang with me friends, just a few weeks and it'll be better.

Hugs

Hi Dear Friends

I cannot believe how long it's been since I've posted. I have to say that for the next couple of week's my posts may be somewhat random. My computer's hardrive is dying. So I've been at the whim of it's temperament. My sweet hubby told me that he had been planning to surprise me with a new one, but because of the recent randome decline, he's bumped up the ordering of it. He ordered it today, and it should be here by November 23rd, and I am SO excited.

Onto today's post. This is a card I made awhile back. I have lots of more recent cards to photograph and edit, but I just cannot get it done on my laptop right now. (Again my sweet hubs has offered up his much newer and faster laptop for me to use... I tell ya, I married a sweetheart).

If I've shared this card before, my apologies, but I do not think I have....

Oh how I love butterflies....

Supplies:

Stamps: Hero Arts Everyday Sayings, Stampin' Up! Great Friend

Paper: Papertrey Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Ripe Avocado. Stampin' Up! Lovely Lilac

Ink: PTI: Raspberry Fizz, Stampin' Up Craft White

Accessories: SU! Beautiful Butterflies, Provocraft Cuttlebug Swiss Dots, Buttons Galore, DMC floss, Fiskars Apron Lace, PTI Raspberry Fizz polka dot ribbon

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Everything but the Kitchen Sink Challenge number 2

Hi Friends,

Well, today is the day for the second installment of the Everything but the Kitchen Sink Challenge. And this one was a doozy. As you can see, the challenge was to use TP. At first I had no idea what to do with this. Then an idea came to me, and I just went with it... TP flowers.

I made the flower by cutting multiple circles of tp in varying sizes and scraping the edges (distressing if you will) in Raspberry fizz ink and after doing the layers, I gathered the middle and tied them in the back to get the ruffly look.

The really cool thing about this challenge is all the different takes by the Design Team. You must go check out their blogs: Courtney, Winter, Kelley, Ann and Kelly Marie. As before, we are inviting you to play along. This time, Kelly Marie is offering an adorable prize package of some cute stamps. Go to her blog for details but the prize package is pictured below:

I mean look at the cuteness here. The Amuse set covers all holidays. It is a one stop shop for your stamping needs!!! Awesomeness.

So come and play along, we cannot wait to see what you come up with. This time, we'll have one winner who will get these fun stamps, but also 5 domestic divas. There were just too many great cards before not to call them out.

We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Big hugs!

Raspberry Suite Challenge

Hi again

Two posts so close together... It's because I put off posting. My computer has been giving me fits lately. Trying to figure it out, but in the meantime, it's slow and frustrating

This entry is for the Raspberry Suite Challenge #18. I love these colors. I have to admit that I'm not in love with the card though. I wanted to play with the Giga guidelines, so I broke it in on this challenge.Have a great night friends

HI All
I'm joining in on a new challenge. It's called the Play Date Cafe, and the first week's challenge features beautiful autumnal colors. I had to play along. Here is my submission for the challenge.

This has to be short. I've got another post coming. Gotta post my entry for the Raspberry Suite challenge

Paper Tearing

Hi Friends,

How was your weekend? I hope you enjoyed it. Don't they always go by so fast? I am taking tomorrow off (gotta start using up the vacation time so that I do not lose it). I love taking Mondays off. They are my least favorite day of the week, so it seems a wise choice to me to stay home. I'm actually meeting two wonderful friends for lunch tomorrow, so I have that to look forward to as well!

Onto today's card, I made this for the latest Hero Arts challenge to incorporate paper tearing into your card. My first thought was snow banks, so this is what I came up with. The photo doesn't do the glitter justice, but the snow banks are covered in glitter to add some sparkle. Hope you like!

Supplies:

Paper: Stampin' Up

Ink: Versamark, Stampin' Up!

Stamps: Hero Arts Clouds and Owl Christmas

Other; Bling: Recollections, Copic Markers

Just because

Hi my friends

How is your week going so far? Personally, I feel as if I've worked a full week already. This post is going to be a short one because I'm ready for bed.
This colors for this card were inspired by the flowers. I just love those floradoodles. Aren't they just so fun? Of course, I had to use my swiss dots folder. I use that thing so much. It was the best $4.95 I've spent I think!

Sorry this is so short, but I really must go to bed. I'd love to hear from you!

Hugs!
Nette
