My Crafty WEEK!

 

Hello and happy Sunday.  I've been stress-crafting all week, and now I am finally stopping to post everything.  I'm going to keep the writing to a minimum, as this is already going to be a long photo-heavy post.

First up is this fun snowy scene--a snowball fight in the early evening.  I am entering this card at Inkspirational #225: Night, Shopping Our Stash #432: Hot Drinks, Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Thinking of You.

One more card with some 'drinking buddies', this time using Skating Party by Hello Bluebird.  I am entering this card at Just Add Ink #530: Stamps-Ink-Paper (my images were stamped, fussy cut and colored).  I am also entering at Shopping Our Stash #432: Hot Drinks, Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Thinking of You.

Next up is a holiday card inspired by the sketch at MFT Sketch #514 and the Christmas challenge at CAS Friday #192.

The next 2 cards use a flipped and rotated take on the sketch at AAA Cards #178.  I am also entering at Retro Rubber #147: Anything Goes using a stamp set I have had for several years, Tim Holtz Wine Blueprint.

Next up is a series of birthday cards--and I am entering the lot of them at Seize the Birthday #203: Anything Goes and AAA Birthday #19: For a Child.  I am also entering this first card at Just Add Ink #530: Stamps-Ink-Paper (my images were stamped, fussy cut and colored).  

All of the following cards are from my crafty Panda-Fest earlier in the week.  They all use various panda themed stamp sets, and will be sent to my panda-loving mom to give to her panda-loving friends.  I am  entering them all at Retro Rubber #147: Anything Goes--and I have had all these stamps for 2 or 3 years.

I am entering my final two cards at the Stamplorations November Stencil Challenge.  I used the Stamplorations slimline Bamboo Stencil to create a backdrop for my anniversary pandas.

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2018...Day 17

Welcome to Day 17 of The 25 Tags of Christmas Tags 2018.  If you are just arriving for the first time, all the details and the linkup can be found HERE.

Our sponsor for Day 17 is Avery Elle.

I used A Merry Little Christmas Stamps to make my tags.

.

I paired the reindeer from A Merry Little Christmas with a sentiment from Snow Much Fun.

I just fell in love with the little Christmas mouse, who reminded me of my daughter's pet rats (the rats really are cute).

And, because I could not resist those mice, a card with those mice 'holding up' a chalkboard sign.

Please head over to Tracey's blog for more information on how you can join in on the fun and get a chance to win a prize.

A Pair of Tags

Hello--I have a quick post to share  two tags I made to participate in my friend Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

First up is a tag I made using some images from Avery Elle Snow Much Fun, paper piecing and a new tag die from PTI.  I love all the cute images in this Avery Elle set.  I was inspired by the cute samples on Day 1 of Tracey's challenge.

I am also linking this tag up at the Avery Elle Challenge #30.

I was inspired by the Serendipity tags on Day 6 of Tracey's challenge when I made this next tag.

I used the neutral color scheme at ColourMe #96.

That's it for me today.

Weekend Wrap Up...2 Cards for Fun Challenges

A quick post to say good bye to the weekend and hello to the week.  I managed to make two cards for various challenges (plus a couple of cards for design teams that I will share later in the week).

First up is a card for Avery Elle #19:  Think Pink, and I used their Beautiful Bow set once again.

Playing around a little with my photos--here is another shot of the same card.

I am also entering this at Addicted to Stamps and More #166:  Anything Goes.

.

The challenge at Happy Little Stampers CAS for October is Paper Piecing--which I love to do and have not done in a while.  I used a couple of the cute critters from AE Snow Much Fun and some Doodlebug paper to make my next card.

Speaking of Happy Little Stampers, Kylie is offering free shipping anywhere until 10/25.  Click here to take advantage of this wonderful discount.

I am also linking this up at Little Tangles #61 where the challenge is Paper Piecing  (thanks Jen).
