City Crafter - Silver Bells

Hi City Crafters! Our challenge at City Crafter this week is hosted by Kirsty and she is asking us to create a project with a lot of silver on it.  I used a Tim Holtz tree die and a Memory Box joy die for my DT card, and as you can see all are done in a lot of silver.

City Crafter Challenge - Halloween

Halloween - black cats, pumpkins, masks, candy, orange, purple and on and on.  Halloween is a fun time of year to dress up in costumes and eat way too much candy :)  I am hosting the challenge at City Crafter this week and would like to see your Halloween projects.

For my DT card I used a cat die from Memory Box, some spider web wasi tape and design paper with Halloween colors.

Please join us for this "spooky" challenge.  Stop by City Crafter for some inspiration from the design team and most of all have some fun.

So happy you stopped by today :)

City Crafter - Into the Woods

This week's challenge at City Crafter is a theme "Into the Woods" and Amy is our hostess.  She would like everyone to make a project relating to wood.

For my DT card I used a Wplus9 stamp set with a wonderful tree, raccoon, mushrooms and acorns.  The die cut leaves are by Lawn Fawn.  Oh yes and the wood grain embossing folder too.

Please head over to the blog for inspiration from all the DT members.

Thank you for stopping by today :)

Library Challenge - Woman in the Window

I'm soooo happy, I discovered a challenge called "The Library Challenge".  The challenges are based on a book title and as someone who loves to read, not only is this inspiring but I've come across books I have not read and can add to my book list.

This week the book is "The Woman in the Window" and it just so happened I have a Stamping Bella stamp that fit this perfectly.  I used Bristol paper and my Zig markers to color this image; quite happy with the way it turned out.

Thank you for stopping by today.  We are having a nice Autumn day here :)

Did someone say Halloween?

The cute pumpkin on my card is by "Stamps by Judith & Heather" and he was given to me when I purchased some stamps from J&H at a Scrapbook Expo.  Well, he's so cute I couldn't wait to put him on a card.

The challenge over at Cupcake Inspirations is "Bump in the Night" and of course I thought of scary things and scary things mean Halloween.  So, I put my little pumpkin to work and added a bat from Lawn Fawn, some grass from Stamps of Life and a computer generated sentiment to finish my card.

So happy you stopped by today :)

An Autumn Thank you

Autumn is such a nice season.  The air cools down, the leaves turn beautiful colors and Thanksgiving is the time to be thankful for everything you have in your life.

Naturally, during this time there are card challenges with an Autumn / Fall theme and I made this card for 2 challenges with this theme this week:

1)  Muse Card Club - see Muse card by Anita below
