Crafty Gals Corner challenge #270 ATG with the twist __________Fall!

 Hello!  Welcome back to my blog.  Had a very nice summer break and am now ready to get the 'ber' months done so Santa can visit!  Actually my favorite time of year is October.  I had (many years back) a Halloween baby.  So her birthday was Halloween themed.  I have since quit making her Halloween cards and gone to more grown-up cards.  This year I think it will be Lilo and Stitch themed!  (btw she is turning 47. shhhhhhh). Here are the sponsors.

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate
Fred She Said Designs offers a wide variety of digital products with a floral flair and cute characters too - Digi's, Pre-colored images, Papers, Sets, Fred's Flower Kits, and even digital cutting files.  Have some fun with Fred!

WOW!  This doesn't happen very much anymore.  3 wonderful sponsors who I believe have seen sponsoring challenges since I started design teams.  Thank you's are in order and leave a bunch of love when you visit!

My project is from Fred She Said.   It is titled Fall Flowers & Paper Pricking Frame.  This is something I have know experience with.  But there is always the first try.  Here it is.



See those dots?  I took the end of a seam ripper and a old
mouse pad and pricked all the holes on the metallic paper.
Next I pricked the holes on the flowered paper and used
3 strands of navy blue embroidery floss.  I guess you would
call it a back stitch around the pricked part.  The envelope 
is light blue card.  Base is a mint green.



Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!

Crafter's Cafe challenge #322 Anything goes + Use designer papers.

 Hey I am back with another post for Crafter's Cafe challenge.  As you can see the challenge is anything goes or a twist with using designer papers.  Here is our sponsor.


Prize is 2 images

I just love working with All Dressed Up.  Crisp clean designs that fit almost every occasion.  Go visit leave some love and a thank you!

My card is using the image called little pumpkin.  Here is my card.

I have colored this image with alcohol markers and Castle Arts
oil based color pencils.  The background paper is from G45 set
called Garden Goddess (retired).  The base is a bright orange.
Next I did a print and cut leaving a small border.  I glued on
the images and cut out a Happy Fall sentiment.

Well that is all for August.  I will be back in September with another project.  But until then,

Crafter's Cafe Challenge #321 Christmas in July

 Hello and Happy Christmas in July!  Gosh this is a wonderful time of the year.  But...to tell the truth I am just lucky to get today's challenge posted.  We only have one sponsor for this challenge and she's a biggie!


Prize~3 Digital Images

I have been creating and sharing my cards since 2013.  One of the first sponsor images that I got was from Sheepski Designs.  I love these images.  Please go show some love and maybe a thank you.

My Christmas is July isn't a card.  It's a gift box.  The gift box pattern is from Simply Crafty SVG'S.  The 3D construction is a Single K-Cup Holder.  The image that I am using from Skeepski designs is titled Ginger Hot Tub.

I colored the image using my Prismacolor Pencils.  Then I selected
papers for the single K-cup holder.  The holder when done has
a front panel.  I adhered my image on there.  I inserted a hot cocoa
K-cup.  Quick easy done!


That is it for this cafe challenge.  I hope you can play along.  So from my heart to yours,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know that you are blessed!
