Easy as ABC Day 3

Day 3's homework - overlapping die-cuts:  check!

 

Using up a pretty little scrap of patterned paper? bonus!

I've used another Altenew Alpha set - Caps Bold Alpha

and a darling EBE set called S'whale! and coordinating dies.

Easy as ABC - Day 2

Day 2 homework … because Therese used my M, it's only right that I use her T! lol  [also perfect for my husband! which is only right as he bought me these fabulous new Classic Alphas for my birthday!!  YOU can get them on SALE today!!!  Please tell them Tom sent you!  =]

 

Therese used her paper trimmer to create a darling little panel within a panel.  I chose to use two rectangle dies and put that little leftover to work!

 

 

I love stretching my holiday sets... this time I used a few of the lovely leafy branches from Holiday Bows stamps & dies.

 

Day 3 coming soon!  It seems I'm having a bit of trouble with tardiness!

My color choices:  Distress Oxide Evergreen bough; Catherine Pooler Spruce, Eucalyptus, and Twilight.
The Rectangle dies are from MFT.

Simple as ABC Day 1

Remember those teachers that just had to assign a term paper over the holidays?  Never my favorite … until today!



Therese Calvird has given us a darling assignment for homework Day 1 … die cut lettering! 
Here's my homework:

I've chosen to stop at three words - my granddaughter's name - in honor of a little song I used to sing to her when she was wee … a play on words from "You, you, you.  I'm in love with you!" that my mom used to sing to me!! 

You can fully see that I'll be getting points off for the wonky alignment … she's 11 and [hopefully] will not notice! lol  I must remember to allow for variation in the height of the letters next time - lesson learned!

Normally, I would have chosen white, but by the time this gets delivered, we will have had enough of the white stuff 'round here!  and roses in December will be a welcome treat, too!

Off to complete Day 2 homework - which will also be late!  Yikes!  Are you attending Therese's class at Altenew?  I don't think it's ever too late to sign up!

BTW!!!  have you seen the sales today???  must run... Clearance and Gratitude are my favorite words!

Inspired By #47 ... Christmas packages

… brown paper packages, tied up with string ….

Laurel has yet another fabulous Inspired By photo ....

 

I was inspired by the following for Challenge #47 ...

• the color palette
• brown paper
• sprigs of greenery
• twine bows
• and the following inks did the trick!

 

 

… these are a few of my favorite things!

 

Hope those of you in the States enjoy a happy, delicious, wonderful Thanksgiving!
