Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #236 'Halloween Colours'

 Hello and welcome to my favorite time of the year.  It's Halloween season!  But I am also somewhat sad.  I am having surgery in 2 weeks and if I put all my decorations up, I won't be able to get them down.  So this is my plan.  Have surgery (carpal tunnel), wait until the 2nd week of November and decorate for Christmas early!  Now thats a plan I can live with.  So this challenge theme is Halloween Colours.  We only have one sponsor for this challenge and it is a biggie!

The Paper Shelter

Prize~3 Digital Stamps

The Paper Shelter has been such a fabulous sponsor.  They have been providing Crafty Gals images since our start in 2016.  Here is to more years together.  Go show some love and leave a thank you!

My project is Halloween Tea Time.  If you hurry to the link, this file is currently free.  Please go download it and I think you will be hooked.  So here is my creation.  

I colored the tea set using my Prismacolor Pencils and then 
did a print and cut.  The background paper is provided and
printed out 2.  (inside & Out) I cut out some scrap and made
a template for the polka dotted paper to cover the center of 
the provided paper to create more interest.  Tea Time was
printed on Vellum and attached using spray 3M adhesive.

Here is the inside.  You can now see the inside of the paper
provided.  I printed Happy Halloween on vellum and stuck
it on with my 3M Spray.

The Back and my label

I wish all my friends a very Happy Halloween and Samhaim (if you celebrate).  I will try to schedule a post for November early.  

Stay safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!

Crafter's Cafe Challenge #289 'monochrome'

 Hi everyone!  I have to say this challenge had me scratching my head for a while.  Now hair and skin colors can be any color.  BUT whatever you make must be of one color.  You can use any shade but they all must be the same base color.  I have chosen 'GREEN'.  Let's see who our sponsors are for this intriguing challenge.

All Dressed Up Digital Stamps

Prize~2 Digital Images

My Besties Shop

Prize~3 Digital Images

Wow, just WOW!  These are two of the most encouraging sponsors with their willingness to provide images.  Please everyone go show some love!!!

I have picked an image from All Dressed Up titled "Little Dude".  I have used all hues of green.  Here we go!

First I have colored the Little Dude with my Prismacolor Pencils
using all the greens I could find.  Even colored the dog a shade 
of green.  The card base is from American Crafts.  The back-
ground green and green plaid are some of my St. Vinnies hauls.
The title of the card is printed on vellum and the tennis ball
'woof' and 'arf' are stickers from Miss Elizabeths.

This certainly is a lot of Green.  I have used scraps to 
finish up this card.  The back has my logo sticker on it.

So that's it for this challenge at Crafter's Cafe.  I sure hope that you can play along with us and possibly win some great prizes.  Can't wait to see your work.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #235 "Signs of Fall"

I can't tell you how happy I am to see the fall weather starting here in Oregon. The forecaster that I trust the most has recently stated that there will be no more heat advisories or streaks of 90 degree weather. I just can't handle the heat anymore. Thank goodness for Central Air. I do have a friend that lives in Kenai, AK that I could visit in case of emergency.

Signs of Fall is the theme for challenge #235. Let's see who our wonderful sponsors are.

Now on to my creation. I have used an image from Crafty Sentiments Design called Halloween Bride. A little background is needed. My dear daughter was born in the month of October. I have never changed the way I planned a party or designed a card. It's always Halloween themed. So this year I have made two gift tags. I think she will love them. Here we go!

Isn't she adorable. I have used two chipboard tags from a

company called Market Tags. I got these many years ago

during a Tuesday Morning Haul. Next I found some paper

that just screamed party. It has streamers and the word Fiesta

scattered around. I printed out the Halloween Bride twice and

colored both using Prismacolor Pencils. Did a print and cut

using Sure Cuts A Lot software and my Silver Bullet Cutter.

Glued each on a tag and put ribbon on so I can attach each

one on a present.

Here is the front and back of the blue Halloween Bride tag.

the Orange tag has orange dotted paper on the back of the tag.

This was a fun and easy project. I will be sewing away for the next few weeks on a birthday present. I will have pictures of it for next months blog post. So for now...

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are very blessed.
