My Crafty Weekend

Can you believe this is my second post today.  Click here to see all the cards I made as a Guest Designer at The 12 Kits of Occasions.


My first card combines the sketch at CAS-ual Friday's #209 and the colors at Just Add Ink #428.  I used the new PTI Corner Adorner September stamps.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #311:  Anything Goes.

Next up is a card using the Sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #356 and the colors at The Color Throwdown #512.  I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes.  I used Stampin Up Totally Trees stamps.

Next up is a card I started to make using the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #291.  After completing the card, I decided I needed to try again.  Because of that, I am entering the second card at PTI Transformation Tuesday Challenge.

Original Card

I moved the balloons higher on to the card, and used just one sentiment/string.  I am happier with the second card.

Next up is a card playing along at The Paper Players #412.  It is a tic tac toe challenge, and I chose the diagonal die cut, pumpkin, green.

Last up is a card for The Male Room #95: The Great Outdoors.  I used PTI Mountain Majesty stamps.

Time Out #73...Reminder...Follow Your Dreams

There is still time to play along with our current challenge at Time Out.  Our challenge this time is inspired by words:

"With each sunrise we are given a chance for a new beginning."

I was inspired by this quote to sponge some sunrise colors as well as to use an encouraging sentiment.

 Please head over to Time Out to see more inspiration from our Design Team and Guest Designer. Our Guest Designer this week is Marina, so please stop by her blog to see what she has created for this challenge.  Stamplorations is our sponsor for this challenge.  Details for the prize are on the Time Out Challenge Blog.

This challenge will run another week.  I hope you will take some Time Out of your busy schedule to play along with us.

ColourQ #367: Happy Birthday

It's time for another challenge at ColourQ.  I got a new stamp set from Stampin Up.  It is called Totally Trees and I am really loving it.  Can you tell that my sentiment is gold embossed?

I am also linking this card up at Cupcake Inspirations #383 where the challenge is trees.

Please head over to the ColourQ blog to see more inspiration from the Design Team.  I hope you will play along this week.

Beautiful Day and Happy Birthday

I made a card featuring purple, CASE-ing myself here, joining fellow paper crafters on the Hop to Stop to raise awareness of the issue of domestic violence.  I used stamps and inks from Altenew--I just love these peony stamps.

I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes.

My friends are hosting (Tracey) and guest designing (Kim) over at Inspired by...All the Little Things #29, so I had to squeak in at the last minute and play along.  We were given this inspirational photo, and I decided to ink up a brand new stamp set.

I loved all those pretty leaves in fall colors--they remind me of what it looked like last weekend in Maine when I went to visit my daughter at college.  In a nod to the view out of my window in San Diego, I created a scene with palm trees in fall colors--even some leaves falling off of those palm trees (which also never happens).

I am also linking this card up at AAA Cards #76, where the theme is masculine, and I also happen to be the Guest Designer this week, Seize the Birthday: Lots of Leaves and Simon Says Monday: Autumn.
