Scribbles and Scrap challenge - DT card - Oct 27 2013

Image
Hello everyone!!!  It's time for a new challenge over at  Scribbles and scrap .  And wow for the past challenge you really have astounded us with all the fabulous entries!!!  So many and so beautiful.  I'm glad it's wasn't my turn to choose the top 3... that would be so very hard. So for my card this time I'm using a fabulous  0034 Vintage girls photo topper sheet 2 .  Wow there are 6 images on the sheet and the entire sheet is only £1.00!!!!  You can't go wrong.  Go and check out the store.  The greatest thing is if you enter the challenge with some  Scribbles and scrap  image you have a greater gift possible.  And with the great images available why wouldn't you?!? So here's my little vintage creation.  I didn't put a sentiment this time around.  I figured I would leave it blank and this way could use it for any type of creation.

Boo! Did I scare you?!?

Ok maybe not... but it was worth a try!!!  So I'm here to share with you a little creation that I made to play with the fabulous challenge going on over at  All dressed up .  They have a challenge for Halloween but you have to use one of their digis.  The fabulous news is that they have some really awesome Freebies!!! I discovered them doing my DT rounds ;o)  So happy when I'm doing my commenting because not only do I discover some great new techniques, get inspiration but I also get to find new challenges and artists!!! So I'm here to share with you a little creation that I made using their Boo did we scare you.  I'm making some bookmarks for my family for Halloween to add to their little goodie bag.  BTW do you remember when I mentioned that some of the bookmark seem to get lost or disappear... and that my kids are always looking for some new ones?!?  And that I had found a great way to use my craft to make some?!?  Well this morning I found one of the dogs chewin

Fresh Brewed design creation - October 25 2013

Hello everyone!!! It's time for a new post for Fresh Brewed designs  showcasing one of the brand new digi  Girl on the go . I needed a B-day card for my SIL who is turning 40 on Sunday!!!  Wooohooo Julie Anne!  Happy b-day!!! ;o)  I know she reads my posts so will see this.  But since she got her card already it's ok. And I really wanted to make one that was special.  So I decided to play with the newest challenge over at  Scrapbook blessings  which is to make a twisted easel card.  Since I had never made one I thought this was just perfect!!! So I was braved and tried it out.  And well... when it's your 1st try there's always stuff that you don't anticipate... like making it the wrong side.  Oh well it looks great open... but it does open the wrong side up.  And I made it 6x6 instead of the measurements that were in the video... so that added a little bit of complexity.  But hey, I like a challenge. The image was great for this card 'cause my SIL wanted

Hello everyone!!!  TGIF!!! Hope you are as excited as I am that it's the weekend!!! woohooo.  This means some crafting time... and most of all that I don't have to be in my car by 7h10 in the morning... yikes... really hard the morning commute to work now... Anyway I'm here tonight to share some cards that I made for my DT of Nicecrane designs  with a great set called  Vintage birds greating cards .  You get 10 images for only 4.5$.  A totally fabulous deal don't you think?!? In thinking of my Christmas gifts for the teachers... I made another set of little cards.  This time with a real vintage feel.   The paper is from K& Cie - SW nature.  I thought it was perfect for this.  I added some doilies from my stash, a little ribbon and button as well.  The card base was purchased at the dollar store at 6 cards/1$.  So this makes I think a great gift that's not too expensive... because all the paper that I used on the cards was taken from 1 sheet of 12x12.  And al

I'm back with a fun Halloween creation!  I told you I was all Halloween carded out... well that is pushing me to do some other types of creations.  And this time I'm sharing with you a little tag that I made specially to go on my niece's goodie bag. I have joined a super fun group on FB called the  Stamping Dragon Designs .  It's the group for the great images from  Dragons lair designs .  Such cuuuuute stamps.  They have challenges and some fun stuff.  And one of the challenges is to make something with this great image from them called Monsters . So I decided to do some paper piecing and printed the image twice to be able to pop the eye out as well!
