Geared Up Garage for Freshly Made and Festive Friday

Happy Monday. I managed to get into my craft room yesterday and made a card for Freshly Made Sketches and FestiveFriday. (Plaid, blue, things with wheels, clean and simple) I was so excited that Festive Friday had plaid as one of the options. I love plaid and have tried a couple of the stamp sets that allow you to make your own stripes. To be honest, my stripes made with stamps look more like drunk worms. I can never get them straight and get frustrated. However, The Greetery came out with two different plaid making stencils - one for horizontal... Read more →

Game On for Paper Players #507

Happy Sunday! It's my turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's theme week. For my card I used Game On from Stampin' Up! I think it is ideal for masculine cards. Oh, and I love the montage that Nance put together for our badge this week! For some reason, I thought this was Clean and Simple week... but it isn't! However, my card is :-) I stamped and fussy cut the chess pieces and added a little shading to some of the pieces with my Copic markers. I used the "board" piece to create a vertical... Read more →

Merry Moose and Stitched Leaves Die for Paper Players #500

Happy Sunday. It is my absolute honor to host our Paper Players 500th challenge. Yes, that really is five hundredth challenge. It's also Clean and Simple week and I am showcasing the Merry Moose and the gorgeous Stitched Leaves Dies (both in the new fall/winter mini catalog).

Before I share my card for tonight's challenge, I thought it might be fun to share the card... Read more →

Forever Fernery for FreshlyMade and Color Throwdown

Happy Friday! I have another card to share with you using the new Stampin' Up! Forever Fernery set that will be available June 3rd. Over the last week or so you have seen multiple examples with more layers and DSP than I normally use. For this card, I went Clean and Simple the whole way! Here are the colors from Color Throwdown and the sketch from Freshly Made: I fell in love with the crisp black, white and turquoise colors across at CTD and was very flummoxed by the sketch across at FMS. Now... one of the whole things about... Read more →

Honey Bee for Festive Friday and JAI

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday. I hope you are all staying safe and well. This one is under the wire! I hadn't realized the festivefriday challenge finished today! I made today's card using this inspo list: I'm also playing along with the JAI challenge: I chose insects, yellow and alpha dies. Here's my card: I know you can't see it on the main photo - but I added some shimmer on the wings and on the letters: It was a great challenge and I had fun making my bee card. Another one that is going off to the seniors! I'll be... Read more →
