Fussy and Fancy Challenge #158

Hello again,

I'm back...this time to let you know about the new challenge starting today at

Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge #158

where our very talented team mate Judy has come up with a wonderful game of BINGO.

I must say...I had such fun doing this one and even managed to do a Full House

This is a first for me but honestly the choices are so easy it came together

quickly so thank you Judy for a great challenge.

We are sponsored by the amazing 

Live and Love Crafts

I chose to create an Easter card using an image cut from a piece of Pion paper.

Frame made using MS Embroidered Floral punch around the page

Sentiment is a Rubbernecker Stamp, punched using a StampinUp punch

then sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer mist Dazzling Diamonds. 

I'd forgotten how much I love this stuff.  Sprayed a little on the background paper as well.

A pair of SB Oval frames, embossed and sponged with TH Tattered Rose distressed ink
Square is cut using SB Victorian Medallion Three

Ribbon, lace and pearls from my stash

Also added a pair of pearls to the top corner of the cutout

My choice was to add some twine.

Christmas #293

Hi everyone,

I hope you're having a good week. As I schedule this post we are expecting a severe winter storm tomorrow. Just when the grape hyacinth were poking their heads up in the garden

...mother nature is so being tricked this year with all the warm weather we've had. 

Today starts a new challenge at Fab'n'Funky and this being the last Wednesday of the month, 

the theme is Christmas, hosted by our lovely Ginny.

Our sponsor this week is the fabulous Bugaboo Stamps, who generously supplied

us with our choice of digi for the challenge.

I chose to colour Christmas Trio blocks, available here.

Not sure what this design is called...perhaps a Z-fold.  I cut a 12 x 12 inch piece of cardstock

into 5 x 12, scored at 4, and 8 in.  Paper and ribbon is from my stash.  Colored with Copics

Christmas Tag from LOTV

Hi everyone,

I hope you had a good weekend.
It was a fun one for me as I celebrated a BIG birthday and because of it everyone
seemed to think it was time to "spoil" me...and they did it in style.
I am so grateful to my wonderful family and friends.

Now, it's time for a new challenge at

The Paper Shelter Challenge #236

Our theme this time is "Make it Digital" and I've coloured with copics

 a darling image from the shop called Where're We Goin.? available here.

I went very CAS this time and am so happy with the outcome.

A few details:

I used a StampinUp Stamp to create the background in Real Red, Almost Navy and Tempting Turquoise.

Sentiment created in Word and image coloured with Copics, fussy cut and attached with pop dots.

The Space Race is on Fab'n'Funky

Hi everyone,

Wednesday is here and that means a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #291

Our host this week is the fabulous Wends who has chosen the theme

 "The Space Race"

I think the release of the new Star Wars movie 

had a bit to do with her selection and what a fun one it is.

Our wonderful sponsor this week is

Sassy Studio Designs

I chose to colour with copics "Yoda Honey" from Sassy Studio Designs

I must say...I loved making this card.  It was for my SIL's birthday and was it a hit!

The family had binge-watched the whole Star Wars series

before heading to see the new release and "Yoda"was fresh on their minds.

Not mine so much mind you...I had to use Google to remember he was

in kind of a bog and from there chose my papers and die cuts.

The inside of the card read "look as good, you will not"

Details:

I started by tearing some kraft paper, then some adhesive backed cork  and

finally a scrap of  embossed old gold paper. 

 Added TH vintage photo to the edges.

Trees and Branches are MB Dies

Cheesecloth is used to resemble his tufts of white hair

DP and twine from my stash

Yellow Stickles added to his light saber?
