Reverse Confetti Stock your Stash!

It has been FAR too long since I've played in any challenges - something I love to do!  With these darling Holiday Gnomes and dies from Reverse Confetti in hand?  how could I resist?

I'll show you a few of the cards I made using that set … this darling couple was colored while hanging with my friends in Wisconsin!

I can never resist adding my own flavor to sets using my play on words... not that there is anything wrong with the sentiments in this set!  They are wonderful!  But, sometimes, the words just must be said!

Also used: RC's Lacy Scallop Frames

Finally, a thank you card... get it? Thanks GIVING?  for the challenge...

 … and the inside sentiment!

I don't normally craft on Sunday, but I'm nursing a cold - chicken soup on the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu this week - plenty of hand-sanitizer in the craft room! 

Hi ho, hi ho! it's off to the Stock Your Stash gallery I go!

CAS[E] this Sketch #293

Donna has created another in her long line of fabulous Sketches for CTS #293 this week...

It's that time of year, folks, and I'm frightfully corny... candy-corny maybe?  ha!

I allowed my BOO, cut with those fun Altenew Inline Alphas, to stand in for the strip in the Sketch.  You know, you TOO can change up the Sketch a little if you'd like to... as long as we can still see the basic Sketch! 

 

Okay, let's get on our virtual brooms and zoom over to see what my teamies have created this week ...

Waffleflower Crafts:  BOO and dies

Inspired By #41... fall beauty

There are few colors I love more than those that reflect Fall, and the change of season.  Our Inspired By #41 ... fall beauty inspiration photo says it beautifully...

 

I adore those acorns, and oak leaves.  Even more, the natural wood.  I've just the products for that...

 

 

You'll forgive me if I reserve my inside sentiment... but wouldn't this card would be great for a male birthday, or a card of sympathy?

 

Thank you for stopping by today.  I always appreciate your support, and kind words.  The Inspired By team truly appreciate your participation, too.  Hope to see your idea of fall beauty in our gallery!

*thank you, Cat, for those gorgeous wood-grain papers! They sure are just what the craft-doctor ordered, every time!

CAS[E] this Sketch #292

I've tipped Brian's Sketch #292 this week … but it's okay, I'm pretty sure he won't mind. 

My Viking [he was a stowaway from my recent visit to MFT in Florida] needed a little more elbow room...

 

Attending Kathy Racoosin's Daily Marker Road Trip in Florida with Bobby, and Nancy was SO much fun!  This little lesson [using Copic blending solution and a scrap of terrycloth] Kathy shared has taken my mediocre coloring, and added such fun texture! 

Now, you do know there are loads of inspiration from my teammates at CTS, right?  Let's go together... OH!  Why not try a new technique and join me at CTS this week?

Inspired By #40 ... ready for Fall!

Whether you call it Autumn, or  Fall - I call it my favorite season of all! 

This week we have a fabulous sponsor:  Stamplorations!!  Shery has the most generous heart … I [might have] had a little fun shopping for a few extras!  I thought this darling Better Than Autumn stamp was perfection for our Inspired By … ready for Fall challenge! 

One might have to look closely, but you'll find a bit of faux birch coloring on those carry-out cups!  You'll certainly see the lettering, and find that sweet little pumpkin if you look closely and our gorgeous graphic.

I do hope you are Inspired By my card... if not, you'll find plenty of inspiration from my teamies at the IB blog.  The use of Stamplorations products on your project this week are not required, but we'd sure love to see you support our kind sponsor... good luck!

TCP Tuesday Challenge #351 - Holiday

The TCP Tuesday challenge is calling for a Holiday card... what better holiday than Halloween in October? 

 

 

I think I've found a new favorite die in the TCP Round Tree!  and those characters are truly FabOOlous!  Alma made a set of sentiments in February, called Happy that completed my card just the way I wanted! 

Now I know you have a holiday that you celebrate with a card … why not enter it in our October challenge?  We'd love to see it in our TCP Tuesday gallery!
