Everything but the Kitchen Sink

Hi Friends

It’s time for another Everything but the Kitchen Sink Challenge.. For the end of the month challenge, the designer gets to pick the type of challenge. This time it’s Kelly Marie’s turn, and she has gone with a color challenge using the following from her home as inspiration.

Here’s what I came up with:

Can you believe it?  One there are no jack-o-lanterns on this card ;) and Two, it’s a single layer card.  I rarely make single layer cards, so this is something for me!

Anyway, the prize this month is a Lawn Fawn stamp set.

Awesome, huh??  You will love this set.  Be sure to check out the EBTKS blog for more information and to see the other designers’ cards.

Hi Friends,

It’s time again for another Off the Wall Craftiness challenge. The colors this week are fittingly enough Orange, White, and Black. Check out the inspiration pieces

And here’s what I came up with for my card… I know, big surprise, it’s a Halloween card using Lawn Fawn stamps. For this card, I used:  Harvest Season, Teeny Tiny Backdrops, Heebie Jeebies, and Harold’s ABCs.  (4 sets on one card!! I LOVE how well Lawn Fawn sets compliment each other).

The sponsor of the challenge this week is Your Next Stamp and they are offering up a really cute image!  Be sure to check out the Off the Wall Craftiness Blog to see the other designers’ cards and the details on the prize.

Have a great Friday!  Woohoo, hello weekend!  Any exciting plans out there?

Halloween week continues

Hi Friends,

Well, another day, and another Halloween card. And surprise surprise, I used a bunch of Lawn Fawn Stamps.

I used Heebie Jeebies, Harvest Season and Harold’s ABCs again for this card. I just love making those jack-o-lanterns. No worries, after this week you won’t see them again.. unless I can figure out a way to work them into Thanksgiving or Christmas ;)

Well, friends, this is going to be short, I’m off to bed.

Have a blessed day

Halloween Day 3

Hi Friends,

I hope you’re not sick of Halloween cards yet… I have more to share :)

Today I’m actually sharing a few different cards. I used some Cosmo Cricket chipboard when making these.

You’ll notice that I didn’t abandon my Lawn Fawn Stamps. I used “boo” from Heebie Jeebies, and made the “trick or treat” sentiment with Harold’s ABCs. I love making custom sentiments!

We had some fierce storms come through Indiana today. Our office was sheltering in the basement for nearly an hour. (People were a little restless because we weren’t getting consistent signals with blackberries…) My husband’s office lost power, and he got to go home early!!

Anyway, if you had storms today, I hope you weathered them safely:)

Hugs and blessings

Day 2 of Halloween Week

Hi Friends,

I had planned to share a post of our recent get away, but the format in blogger was funky.  So I decided to go forward with another Halloween card.  Once again, I used a bunch of Lawn Fawn stamps.

(There’s another one of those jack-o-lanterns, and he’s not the last).  This time, I combined Harvest Season, Harold’s ABC’s, Heebie Jeebies, and Critters in the burbs.  I don’t know why, but googlie eyes seem to go so well with Halloween cards.  If you want to know how to make the jack-o-lantern, check out yesterday’s post for instructions.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs and Blessings

Halloween Card Week

Hi Friends

I’m back from our mini vacation. We had such a fun getaway to Nashville, Indiana which is located in Brown County. This is a very popular place for people to visit to see the fall foliage. The town itself is very quaint with cute shops and restaurants. We rented a cabin that is secluded yet only about a mile from town. It is just perfect. (For those of you who’ve visited my blog for awhile, this is the same cabin/town we’ve visited before). I will share some photos from the trip this week.

I’ve decided to dedicate my card posts this week to Halloween cards. I'm quite happy to have made some cards to send... I've been so busy lately that I was afraid I wouldn't have time to make and send some. Thankfully, that's not the case! So here’s today’s card:

As you can see, I used a lot of Lawn Fawn Stamps on this card. I am so happy with the Jack-o-lantern. I stamped, colored and cut out the pumpkin from Lawn Fawn Harvest Season. Then I cut a nose and mouth from black cardstock scraps and glued them down, and then I added different sized googlie eyes so that he’d look a little goofy :)

(You’ll be seeing more of these this week on the blog).

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs and blessings,

Nette

Off the Wall Craftiness

Ooooops!  I forgot to schedule my blog post before I went out of town! 

At any rate, thanks for popping in, I have a card from the current Off the Wall Craftiness Challenge to share with you today. Here' is the color scheme

Aren’t these wonderful together?  I just love green and brown together. 

I needed some male thank you cards.  We recently had a women’s ministry activity where our elders came and spoke to us, we heard some great teaching on the Beatitudes and then had a nice lunch together.  I wanted to make some thank you cards for our elders who took time out of their weekend to share with us.  So I actually made 4 cards that are SUPER SIMPLE and quickly reproducible.

So you can see that these are single layer cards with just a couple stamped images on them.  This is not my normal style, but I really needed something quick.  Plus, with cards for men… well, we all know that excess is not needed.  Less is definitely more for men.

Be sure to check out the other designers’ work at the OFTWC blog and the great prize package Kim has up for grabs. I can’t wait to see what you create.

Hugs and blessings

Lynnette

P.S.  I will be sharing more about our trip in the next few days. It was a wonderful getaway and very well timed :)
