Water You Up To for Paper Players #715
Happy Sunday It's the fabulous Claire's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's color week. Claire's bright colors had me scratching my head for a while. Anyone who has been around my blog for a while will know that I tend not to use a lot of bright colors - especially together. However, when I pulled out the inks and looked at them together I had this idea for a set that I had purchased from Spellbinders a little while ago to make cards for Ronald McDonald. The set is called Water You Up To and... Continue reading

Polar Christmas for Addicted to CAS #271
Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Helen's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and she has a fun code word for us. This code word gave me the perfect excuse to ink up some stamps from a set called Pola Christmas that came as part of a set from Simon Says Stamp in the most recent Create and Connect with Pinkfresh Studios. I had a fun time with some very loose watercoloring for these delightful images. Here's a sneak peek And here is Helen's code word: I stamped and watercolored the image using normaly 100# paper. That... Continue reading

Parisian Parcels for Festive Friday #172
Happy Friday. It's another great INSPO challenge across at Festive Friday this week and I had such fun creating this card. I went clean and simple using a set of dies from Alexandra Renke called Parisian Parcels. I utilized some metallic watercolors in colors that met the requrements of the INSPO list. Here's a sneak peek: Oh.. and here is our challenge theme for this week - Black Friday. As always, you don't have to follow the theme. You just need to utilize at least 3 of the items from our INSPO list into your project. Here's our INSPO list:... Continue reading

Playful Petals for Paper Players #714
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Elizabeth's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and the set that I chose to showcase makes it a very aliterative title - and I love a little aliteration! I love this take on a bouquet from Pinkfresh Studios and was so happy to open it up and give it a little love for Elizabeth's challenge. Here's a sneak peek: Oh.... and here's Elizabeth's challenge: I'm always happy to make thank you cards and, as we approach thanksgiving, I certainly look upon my life and realize I have much to be thankful for!...

Christmas Market for Paper Players #713
Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Ann's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a fun sketch for us. As soon as I saw this I thought of a decoupage set that was inlcuded in the most recent Simon Says Stamp kit. They are absolutely adorable and so not the usual thing I would buy, but I loved playing with them. It's a set called Christmas Market and it's from a company called Craft Emporium outside of the UK. Here's a sneak peek: Aren't they the cutest??? Here's Ann's sketch: To create my card I used... Continue reading

Doodlebugs Ghosts for Addicted to CAS #270
Happy Saturday. It's another clean and simple challenge across at Addicted to CAS and I must admit that today's card took me probably 6 minutes to make :-). I received some freebie Doodlebug stickers with a recent Scrapbook.com order and one of the sets was perfect for the Addicted to CAS code word this week. Here's a sneak peek - bet you can't guess the theme :-) Little ghosts... now.... what could that code word be? :-) I started with a white card base and added a black layer that was cut to 3.34" x 5 and used that as...

Getting Cozy for Festive Friday #171
Happy Friday. It's another INSPO challenge across at Festive Friday this week and this celebration just made me smile! It also gave me the opportunity to bring out an old - but much loved - set from The Greetery called Gettin' Cozy. It was one of the first sets that I bought from them and I bring it out at this time of the year - every year! Here's a sneak peek - can you see the little sock? The little sock should have given you a clue to our fun theme for this week: Now, who doesn't have some... Continue reading

Gingermass House for Paper Players #712
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it was the perfect excuse to use a product that I got as part of the Pinkfresh Studios Create and Connect Holiday event. As we were away when the event happened, and my goodies have been in storage until Thursday this week, I haven't been able to play with any of them. However, as soon as I saw LeAnne's challenge I knew that one of them would get a little inky love. We got this cute little gingerbread house from Simon Says Stamp in... Continue reading

Flying Witch for Festive Friday #170
Happy Friday. It's another challenge across at Festive Friday this week and, because it has been in the 80's here in Minnesota - IN OCTOBER! - I can't believe I'm sharing a Halloween card... I mean, it's usually in the 50s at this time of the year. However, I'll take the heat over the devastation caused by Helene and Milton. My heart and prayers go out to all that have been affected and hope that all my readers and their families are safe. For my card, I used a die cut from Alexandra Renke called Flying Witch and paired it... Continue reading

Cozy Blooms - with love and gratitude Paper Players #710
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Jan's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week. As it is coming into Spring in the antipodean countries, Jan choose a very different theme for our challenge and I love that we are doing something that isn't necessarily fall or Halloween themed. It was the perfect opportunity to use some goodies that I received as part of the Pinkfresh Studio Create and Connect classes in August. Lou and I were in Scotland when the classes took place, so I watched on replay afterwards. One of the sets we got as part of our... Continue reading

Inked & Tiled for Paper Players #709
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Claire's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a fun tic tac toe board for us. I was inspired to use a set from Stampin' Up! called Inked and Tiled. Here's a sneak peek: And here's Claire's tic tac toe board. I went straight down the left hand side. Leaves, Orange and Monochromatic. I really do love this Inked and Tiled set and decided to really embrace the orange and go with Cajun. It's the perfect color for fall. I added two different Cajun DSPs for the focal point and... Continue reading

Rock Star for Addicted to CAS #268
Happy Saturday. It's my turn to host the Addicted to CAS challenge this week and I decided to use a code word that I don't often associate with my card making! It was the perfect excuse to ink up a set I got from Stampin' Up! called Rock Star. Here's a sneak peek: Mind you, it's not that this set couldn't work for either gender! But I went for masculine for this go round. I kept it really clean and simple and used a black background. I really wanted the elements to pop. So lots of embossing powder used for...

Celebrate in Style for Festive Friday #169
Happy Friday! It's another INSPO list challenge across at Festive Friday this week and this week's theme inspired me to ink up my Celebrate in Style set from Pinkfresh Studio. As we are in the midst of fall - (but someone forgot to tell Mother Nature as it's been in the 80s here for the last two weeks!) I decided to use some fall inspired colors for my card. Here's a sneak peek: And here is our INSPO list for this week: I used a fabulous embossing folder that came as part of a Create and Connect event that Pinkfresh... Continue reading

Fluttering Butterflies Washi Tape for Paper Players #707
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Ann's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has chosen a theme very close to my heart! I decided that because it was a clean and simple challenge - and yes, this time I remembered!!! that I would use some left over butterflies that I had die-cut for a Create and Connect class I did with Pinkfresh Studios. It was also the perfect excuse to bring out my stamp quartet die again! Here's a sneak peek: And here's Ann's challenge theme: This card came together really easily, especially as I already...

Letters from the Heart and AR Post fur Dich Negativ For Addicted to CAS 267
Happy Saturday. It's the fabulous Vicki's turn to host our Addicted to CAS Challenge this week and she has a great code word for us. I was inspired to bring out a die that I bought a few months ago from Alexandra Renke called AR Post fur Dich. I love that you can use it anywhere on a piece of card stock to make it look like the old franked letters! Here's a sneak peek: Love that little pop of pink with the grey and white! Here's Vicki's code word: I thought the just a note theme was perfect for... Continue reading

Italian Minis and England Minis for Paper Players 706
Happy Sunday. It's the fabulous Elizabeth's first turn to host a Paper Players challenge this week and she has a fun and primary color palette for us.

I should have used red, green and white along with the blue and red! but hey.... :-). Here's a sneak peek: Oh - and here's Elizabeth's color palette - in case you hadn't guessed what it is :-) As with most of our color challenges, neutrals are free, so... Continue reading

Pear Leaf for Paper Players #704
Happy Sunday. It's my turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's sketch week. However, as Lou and I are cruising off the North Coast of Scotland and the internet connection is intermittent at best, the fabulous Stef has offered to run our challenge this week. So a huge shout out to Stef for doing this for me! As the air is getting a little chiller (especially where we are!) I felt like creating a card with fall colors. It was the perfect time to bring out my Alexandra Renke Pear Leaf dies and showcase them. Here's... Continue reading

Fluttering Butterflies for ATCAS #265
Happy Saturday It's the fabulous Nancy's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge and I really had to think about her code word. I sat at my craft desk looking for inspiration and saw that I had some butterflies that I had diecut for a Pinkfresh Studio class and realized they would be perfect as they have blended colors! Here's a sneak peek of the butterflies I cut from the Fluttering Butterflies washi tape: And here's our code word for this week: I love the blended colors on the washi tape and decided to echo that for the background....
