How much fun can a crafter have in one challenge?  Looks like a bunch!  Won't you join us?

I have to confess.  I had a great idea when I picked my image back in March.  Could I remember what it was?  NOOOO  So here is what i came up with.  Remember the theme is stripes/spots.

Fred She Said sent quite a few colored images to
chose from colorwise.  I loved the red one.  I used
brads to mount it to orange heavy card.  I found a
printed striped paper and used a background frame
included in SCAL5.  The main body of the card is 
from Canvas Corp. and purchased at Tuesday
Morning April of 2015. 

I found more striped paper made by G45 and 
used it for the inside.  The happy Birthday is 
stamped with Versamark ink and heat embossed
using Ranger Adirondack Moss embossing powder.

Envelope front made from scrap brown paper.

Card back.

This is an interesting project.  The more I look at the card the more I like it.  Thank you for coming to our May 2022 challenge.  Make sure you check out the above link for the Double Trouble Challenge.  Until next month,

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!

Yes it's still raining in Oregon.  Might
have a sunny day by July 5th, 2022

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #231 Buttons and/or Bows

 Hey there!  Time for another fabulous challenge from the Crafty Gals Corner Challenge.  This is challenge #231 and the theme is buttons and/or bows.  This challenge is sponsored by MoonFlower Digital Stamps.

Prize~$10 Gift Certificate

I have admired these digital stamps for ages.  Please go have a look.  Leave some love also!

My project is designed with an image from MoonFlower Digital Stamps and it is named Ashlee Faerie Locks.  Here we go!

Here is the light lavender envelope made with 
cardstock from a big package I purchased from 
Tuesday Morning pre-covid.  So excited, having 
lunch with the girls Saturday and just might be 
able to visit Tuesday Morning.

I have colored Ashlee using Prismacolor Pencils.
I had some off white shiny card stock and using
a die from a slimline set, cut the flowers.  I inked
the edges with VersaMagic Dew Drops in green 
and light purple. The flower centers are purple
buttons with green hemp twine tied in a knot.
 I die cut leaves from green shiny cardstock
from DCWV 12x12 book (that's very old) and
put them behind the flowers. The paper behind
Ashlee is something I found in my miscellaneous
scraps.

Here is a better look. The words are from the
Bard himself.

These inside flowers are from purple and green
card.  The centers are from some lace I bought
many moons ago.  A Midsummers Night's Dream
 is one of my all time favorites from Shakespeare.

The completed project.

I hope you have enjoyed what I have made and got a few ideas.  Oh Kitten update, they are thriving.  Their little legs are getting strong enough that it's time to find a playpen.  So until next time...

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know you are blessed!

(seems all it does in Oregon is rain)

The Crafters Cafe Challenge #284 Add Something New

 Hi everyone!  I live in Oregon, United States.  We are having absolutely crazy weather.  About an hour ago I had an 1/8th of a inch of tiny hailstones on the  back deck and the next moment it was snow and finally sunshine again.  My mama used to say that equinoxial storms are always before Easter.  Boy howdy was she right!  So that's what's new in my area of the world.  Let's see who our sponsors are for challenge #284 with the theme 'Add Something New'.

SheepSki Designs

Prize~3 Digital Images

Scribbles Designs

Prize~$10 Voucher for Images Only

(no papers)

Another challenge with some very amazing designers.  I really can not draw.  So I really appreciate the work these designers do.  Go show some LOVE gang!!

On to my project.  I am using a design from Scribbles Designs called Baby Pea Pod Girl.  I just fell in love with this image.  Here is what I came up with.

The actual card base is from American Crafts.  The 
purple paper is Recollections.  I die cut a couple 
of rose bush leaves to support the baby in the
in the peapod.  The pink flowers and the It's a girl
sticker are older than dirt.  The grass is die cut using
KS Craft dies.  The tiny flower gems are from Joanns.

I found this saying on an old sticker sheet and 
used the font Comic Sans to type the saying and
print it out on vellum.  Glued it to the inside of the
card.  The stickers are part of the sheet that I used
for the 'it's a girl sign' on the front.  The back has 
my sticker.

That's it for challenge #284 'Add Something New'.  I really am happy with the way this card came together.  Thank you for visiting.

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and have a very blessed Easter.
