Crafty Recap

Hello and happy Sunday.  I was inspired by this fun card of Betsy's during PTI Release week.  I loved her string of mittens, and strung up some brightly colored hats for my card, which I am entering at PTI Create Along with Us.

I had to break out my brand new MFT New York Skyline die for my next card, which I am entering at AAA Cards #126:  Moonlight, Addicted to Stamps and More #314: Clean and Simple, and Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes.  I created my moon by masking off a circle and blending several Distress Inks all around it.

A couple of Stamplorations Reindeer are frolicking under a starry night in my next card.  I am entering this card at Simon Says Monday Challenge: Starry Night and Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Animal Antics.

For my last card, I was inspired to combine the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays #210: Pinks & Greys and Calling All Sistahs #18.  I used 3 different shades of pink and 3 different shades of grey, although it is a little hard to tell from this photo.  I used MFT Homespun Stitch Lines dies to create the random stitching pattern on my light pink front panel and MFT Grosgrain Texture Board to add texture to my dark pink front panel.

Lest you think I have been slacking off in my crafting, I thought I'd announce here that I have joined Tracey's creative team for her annual 25 Days of Christmas Tags project.  I have been working away behind the scenes, creating lots of tags that I will be excited to share during the month of November.  I hope that you will be inspired to play along.   Watch this space...

My Crafty Weekend

A beautiful sunny weekend in Southern California, and I had some time to play in my craft room.

First up is a card I made for the Dog's Life challenge at Simon Says Monday Challenge and the color challenge at Just Add Ink #382.  I die cut the dog that looked most like my friend's lab in black, grey and Autumn Rose and arranged them randomly on my card front.  The sentiment is from Paper Smooches Lucky Dog and the dies are Impression Obsession.

Next up is a card using Word Ribbon and the Funky Square Tag Die from CAS-ual Fridays.  I am playing along in their CFC#185: Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness.  I love this awesome quote, and how it can be used for more occasions than breast cancer awareness.  I am also entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #264: CAS.

Even though the colors at Just Us Girls #416 said Halloween to me, I challenged myself to make a birthday card, since that is what I needed more.  I am also entering this at Seize the Birthday Anything Goes.

I fell in love with the roses in Altenew Bamboo Roses, and used them with my copic markers to make a get well card, which I am entering at CAS on Friday #119 to make a card with flowers on it.

And, finally, I need to start making some holiday cards, so here are two of them.  First up is a card using the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #244.

And, lastly a card using the colors from CAS Colour and Sketches #245.  I used String of Lights dies from Lawn Fawn.
