Crafters Cafe Challenge #313 'Fantasy'.

 Hello everyone!  Short and sweet post for this challenge.  Here is our sponsor.  

SheepskiDesigns

Prize~~3 Images

What a wonderful sponsor.  She has a fantasy section that you should explore.  Go have a look and then leave a little love and thanks.

My image is called Conversation.  Here is what I created.  (love working with the image)

I have colored the image with my prismacolor pencils.  Next
I used silver glitter to outline the moon.  Years ago I purchased
a DCWV paper pad that has nighttime images of the universe.
I used dark purple card as a base and found a star system with
purple as the background paper.  The Listen is printed and then
die cut with a Sizzix Nestabilities set.

This is a saying that I use quite frequently.

The back.

Well that's it for October.  I will see you back in November for the last challenge in the year.  Thank you so much for stopping by.  From my heart to yours,

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #260 - Anything Goes w/optional Twist - Make it Spooky!

 Hello everyone!  Can you believe that it is October?  It comes so fast.  I start thinking about October in July.  My daughters birthday is this month and I try to make her something handmade.  This year I got behind and so the purse I am making will be late.  She says it does not matter when.  She's a sweetheart!

On the the challenge.  Yes it's anything goes but the twist is to make it spooky!  Here are our sponsors.

The Paper Shelter

Prize~~3 digital stamps

WOW!!!  These are two of the big sponsors.  They are gracious.  The images often times have extras for the design teams to use.  Please go and show some love and leave a thank you!  On to my creation.  

I have used the The Paper Shelter image titled "Adorable Halloween Witch.  Here is my creation.

What a fun image to color.  I have colored my little witch with
my Prismacolor Pencils.  Next I decided to make a card using
Graphic 45 collections called Steampunk Spells, Bohemian
Bazaar and Steampunk Debutante.  I must tell you that all of 
these collections are retired.  I bought them when Tuesday 
Morning was around.  I used Bohemian Bazaar for the actual
card base.  Then I cut different elements from different 
collections.  

Here is the inside.  On the left, these are pockets that I will
put little notes on.

These are more elements from the collections.  

This is the back.

This is the inside and outside of the envelope.

I hope you have enjoyed this design.  I had a lot of fun creating it.  

So for now, Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!  Please send prayers to everyone in the path of Hurricane Milton!

Crafter's Cafe Challenge #312 Theme is Animals

Do you lose your mojo sometimes?  I certainly do when it comes to paper crafting.  But sometimes an idea just springs to life very quickly.  That is what happened in the challenge.  Here is the sponsor.

Here is what I have designed using the image from Beccy's Place titled Flockstar.

This was way to much fun to create.  The base is bright pink 
with an orange rectangle.  The I have used scraps for the back-
ground and the sand.  I colored the flamingo in a very light pink
with fushia highlights.  Orange and yellow for the beak.  
Next I cut from a very old Sizzix die the crown.  

The inside has another crown and the saying is one of my 
favorites from Mary Englebreit.

The back.

The envelope

Well that's it for this months challenge brought to you by Crafters Cafe.  I hope you can play along.

So from my heart to yours,  stay healthy, stay safe and know you are blessed.
