OWH - Challenge #4 - Triple Time Stamping

 

Here is a technique I recently learned about and have been wanting to try.  Today

was my chance, and I really, really like how easy it is.

 

Fall is my favorite time of the year.  It's not quite as nice here in Texas as it was in Wisconsin and Minnesota, but I enjoy it anyway.  The days are cooler, and the leaves eventually do change.  Here is one of my favorite Stampin' Up sets - French Foliage.  It is so easy to make your own designer paper with this set.  More Mustard and Very Vanilla are the cardstocks used.  Inks used are More Mustard, Garden Green, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede and Elegant Eggplant.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying the VCMP as much as I am.

OWH - Challenge #3 - Snowflakes

 

What a great challenge to do on a 98 degree day in

Fort Worth, Texas - Snowflakes but not Christmas!

 

So fun to use the new Stampin' Up Scentsational Season stamp set and the Holiday Collection Framelits for the cocoa mug.  Dark background paper and ink is Stampin' Up Midnight Muse.  Designer paper is from a stash that a friend gifted me with.  When the weather finally decides to cool off here in Texas, I always look forward to a mug of cocoa.  After living in Wisconsin and Minnesota most of my life, I don't miss the snow anymore.  



OWH - Challenge #2 - Recipe Challenge

2 Patterned Papers

3 Word Sentiment

 

Patterned papers are from a pile of scrapbooking paper I was given.  Flower is from the Stampin' Up Mixed Bunch set and punched with the Blossom punch.  Elegant Eggplant was used for the flower, the border and the border around the Designer Label punch.  God Bless You is from the Stampin' Up Trust God set.  Now on to the next challenge.  Thanks for viewing.



OWH - Our Daily Bread September and VCMP Challenge

 

This is going to be a fun weekend.  I am taking part in a Virtual Card Making Party with Operation Write Home.  This first challenge was from Our Daily Bread Designs.  It is also part of Our Daily Bread's monthly challenge.  We are to create an inspirational card with a scripture verse or some other type of encouragement.  I chose a stamp from Stampin' Up's Trust God set.  It says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."  And since I was making a card, why not make two to send in my next box to OWH.  Thanks for stopping by!  May your day and weekend be blessed and filled with much creativity!

August Card Buffet

The temps have gone down (a little), we've finally had some rain, and school has started in some places.  That must mean Fall is on the way.  Though the leaves won't change for a few months, I always look forward to this time of year.  I hope many of you will be able to join in on the creativity this month.

OWH Sunday Sketch Challenge #130

I recently joined the wonderful organization Operation Write Home.  I am part of a super group of crafters that makes cards for our deployed Heroes so they can stay in touch with their loved ones at home.  This is my first card challenge so I was super excited to give it a try.  All the products are from Stampin' Up.  The cardstock is Whisper White and Lucky Limeade and Floral District Designer Series paper.  Ink used is Lucky Limeade and Daffodil Delight.  Stamps sets used are Betsy's Blossom (a new favorite of mine) as well as Trust God.  The new Fancy Fan embossing folder was used on the green strip on the left side of the card.

Thanks for stopping by!



July Card Buffet

Can you believe July is almost over?  I love it because that means we are another month closer to Fall and cooler weather.  We are also near the release of the new Stampin' Up Holiday Mini catalog.  It's larger in content and layout, and you will love everything, and you will probably want everything too.  I'm anxious to use some of the new things for my classes, but that will have to wait until August 1st.  Thanks for viewing the cards below.  Hope to see many of you this month!
