This week at  One stitch at a time challenge  our theme is autumn!  How perfect for this time of year?  I don't  know for you but I'm really loving the warmth of those colors right now!!! For my card I have used the image Tree on Hill from Gingerloft!  Yes today my posts show a lot of trees :D I used Heidi grace design photo mats and some cardstock from BBP.  I used my long classic rectangle and label 21 spellbinder.  Under the sentiment the paper is embossed with a Tim holtz embossing folder.  I added some vintage buttons.  The ribbon comes from the dollar store. The image was so beautiful that I only added some Vintage photo distress ink to age it up.   Here's a look at a sentiment that I got part of the Autumn club from  Create with tlc .  If you have not been part of those clubs what are you waiting for?!?  There's so many goodies that come directly in your mailbox! I also used vintage photo on the sentiment. I'm looking forward to comme

This week at One stitch at a time challenge  the theme is "under 18's". I was lucky to play with Gingerloft's Tree house!  I thought this was the perfect theme image for under 18th! I would have looooooved to have a beautiful tree house like this one when I was young! To make this card I used a bunch of papers that I had purchased at my dollar store.  I also used some recollection cardstock. I used the fretboard embossing folder by Couture creation to create faux wood under the digi.  I also had lots of fun with my dies, I used: Label 21, Wonky rectangles and Label and tags all from Spellbinders.  I added some Robin's Nest Dew drops as well, some buttons and ribbon from my stash. I colored the digi up with my copics and put vintage photo and frayed burlap on the digi and the sentiment. I chose a sentiment from TLC called yesterday today tomorrow.  I thought this was great with this image since when we see a tree house we remember the fun that

This time around I'm showing a card made with a sentiment and an image from Reeces Scrap Pieces called Back 2 School. I didn't do much for this card because I really wanted to showcase the wonderful artwork so kept it CAS.  So I used some paper from a DCWV pack called The high school (fitting right?!?).  I used my spellbinder office supply for the 1st time and thought it really gave a create notebook look to the paper.  I added a little sticker from a dollar store pack. Here's a closer look at the sentiment that I colored using my Prismacolor pencils: And the backpack that I colored using my copics: I really hope that I have inspired y

To make this colorful card I used some paper from my Basic Grey pack Lauderdale.  I also used some cardstock from Recollection.  The embossing folder that was used under the image is from Cuttlebug animal print collection, I thought this was perfect for this image.    I used Label 23, Standard circle and scallop circles from Spellbinders.  I really love using dies!  Don't  know what I was doing before I had so many... Here's a closer look at the digi that I colored using my copics: I thought this wonderful sentiment from TLC called All the colors would be perfect with it.  I used Distress ink faded jeans around it.  The little flowers

This week at  One stitch at a time challenge  our challenge is "Back to school'.  And our wonderful sponsor is: When I saw the wonderful digi from Kaz called Young Love this really reminded me of my hubby and I... well we were older but we met in university.  So to me this was perfect because when school started again we did get to spend more time together :D  And now it's been 21 years!  16 years of marriage so this card was our anniversary card from me!  Fitting no?!? To make this card I used some paper from Desert Blooms First Edition.  I cut out the digi and the paper underneath with Label 1 die and the sentiment with gromet tag both by spellbinders.  The wonderful sentiment comes from TLC, wow what did I do before I discovered her!!!!  I used one of my EK border punch for the border on the bottom.  Added some Robin's Nest dew drops as well.

This week I decided to do 2 cards.  The 1st one is from Floppy Latte Design and is called Ship V.  It can be found at Stitchy bears Digital stamps. I decided to go for a monochromatic look for this card.  I thought it would look like a masculine card!  I don't  make a lot of those...  I used papers that I had in my stash and added a button and some twine. My 2nd card is made with an image from Robert Jackson called a hard day's work.  It's definetely fitting for 2 reasons.  The 1st one because I did a lot of shopping while in the states... and the 2nd because today I'm going back to work :( For this card I used some paper from K& Cie and used some pearls from the dollar store.  The sentiment is

I say that I'm lucky because this image really reminded me of my house lol. I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, a rabbit, some fishes, a turtle and a bird ;) So this image really reminded me of home: I used paper from Animal Antics by First Edition.  Some ribbon from my stash.  I also put some Robin's Nest dew drops.  I used Label 20 to cut out the digi as well as the layer underneath.  I also used MS border punch for the part underneath. The image was colored with my copics and then I added some Pebbles- Classic Chalks Earth tones.  I thought the white was too harsh otherw

I have used my CM border punch to make the easel base. The buttons come from a bag that I purchased at a thrift shop. The butterfly was cut using a spellbinder die. And I used pearls on it. The ribb

I haven't participated for the last 3 weeks I think to the  One stitch at a time challenge !  I've been participating every week... and with work and every thing I had neglected it... So I was soooo happy to be able to create something this afternoon for it! Not only was it fun the great image from Barbara Jensen was a blast to color!  I decided on the coloring based on the wonderful paper from Basic Grey Fort Lauderdale 6x6 pad so wonderful (bought at Stamp and Create). This is the card that I created: Isn't  this fun?!?  I paired it up with some chipboard embellishment from DCWC - Rock Queen.  I cut out the image and the layer underneath with my label 14.  And today I received some wonderful digis from TLC part of my  August Club   really amazing so far ;)  So happy that I joined.  Of course I just had to add some Robin's Nest- Dew drops.
