Crafty Gals corner Challenge #274 Anything goes with a twist "hearts"

 Hi everybody!  Can you believe that it is February?  Valentine's day is Saturday right after a Friday the 13th.  So for this challenge I went with the twist of adding hearts.  I found a really cute pattern over on Creative Fabrica.  The card has 6 layers.  Here it is.

Well now that I look at the card I should do it differently.  Use
more pronounced colors. I tried to stick with the pinks but it
did not work.  I will repost if I make another.  I also put some
little puffy hearts scattered around.

Do you save paper scraps?  I have had this sheet of paper since
I first started card making in 2013.  This card needed the punch
of color.  I will sign it and send it off to my girls.

Here is the envelope.  I really enjoy decorating the envelope.
I put packing tape over the decorations after putting the 
address on.  

That's it for February.  Now next month is again anything goes with the twist of "green".

Hope you can come and play along.

So for now, Stay Healthy, Stay safe and know you are blessed!  

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #273 anything goes with a twist of a snowperson.

 Happy New Year and new beginnings!  Boy howdy a lot has changed in just the last two months.  Grab a cuppa and lets catch up.

My significant other, Bob, had a couple of strokes starting back in 2022.  He then started getting lost while driving.  2024 he was diagnosed as having Dementia.  Our world has changed so much.  I have very little time to craft.  So what I have is very special.  I have resigned from 2 design teams, Pennys Challenge and Crafters cafe.  If you know of someone looking for a DT position please send them Crafters Cafe.  Pennys challenge has closed down and no challenges with be issued.

This year also has a big change for Crafty Gals Corner Challenge.  The DT will not have any sponsors and therefore no prizes. Each entry is JUST FOR FUN.  It is also anything goes with a twist SNOW PEOPLE for January.  With all that explained here we go for January 2026.

The DT is using all their digi and real stamps and all our paper to make our creations.  I have used a digital stamp by Dr. Digi (i think).  Here we go!

The base is beautiful purple shiny card stock. Next the paper is
from a big DCWV Christmas and Winter book.  I printed
 out the words on scrap white card then used a KSCRAFT
 cloud dies to cut the words out.  I did ink the edges.  I colored
thesnowperson using my prismacolor pencils. 
The snow drifts are made using glitter paper a
nd another cloud die.

Purple snowflake paper is from Polkadoodles.

The back with my sticker.

So here is my first project using my stash.  I sure hope to whittle down some paper and organize my digi's.  

Thank you for stopping by and until next month,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!

Crafty Gals Corner challenge #271 Spooky ____________.

 Hello everyone!  I have some news I would like to share.  My significant other was diagnosed with Temporal Dementia in 2023.  It's getting worse.  I am physically and emotionally drained.  My escape has been making my cards.  But when I start missing deadlines then something has to give.  I am no longer with  Crafters Cafe Challenge.  I just couldn't juggle 3 DT's.  So I am here with Rhapsody and Crafty Gals and still with Penny's over at havecolorsbehappy.blogspot.com.  Just thought I would let you know.

Here are the sponsors for Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #271 Spooky ___________!

What a great mix of sponsors for our Spooky challenge.  Go say thanks and leave a little love everyone!

My project is from Colour Of Love and is titled Cauldron Possums.  Just one thing.  I have a possum that lives under my deck.  I named it Polly.  I can pet her and she eats whatever the cats are eating.  She is sure cute!

Miss Heather comes up with the cutest designs for Possums.
I have quite a few of her possum files.  So I was very excited
to colour up this one.  I have used mainly Castle Arts Oil
based color pencils for the main image.  Paper piecing for the
floor and wall.  

Here is the inside.

Envelope.  This card is going to the girls for Halloween!

So short and sweet for this month.  Now November will be the last challenge for 2025 over at Crafty Gals.  We will start up again in January 2026.  But for now...

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!
