Wreath of best wishes

What a gorgeous day! I got to take the dogs outside for a run, which Spencer loved! 6 weeks of restricted activity has unleashed his inner puppy :) It's good to see him like that, really good :)
After a productive morning of cleaning the house, I figured I owed myself a little time in the craftroom - I mean, I've got to be fair to myself right? ;) He, He :)
I made a little card for Laura's sketch using the colourQ challenge colors. 




I know every time I post, it seems I'm in love with something I'm using but it's really true this time. I LOVE the Wreath for All Seasons set from PTI. What a great, CAS, versatile set. I made a window in the front of the card and stamped my wreath on the inside. The berries are stamped in terra cotta tile - I made them pop a little more using a few drops of Glossy Accents. A close up of the wreath....


That's it for now. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Polka Dot Leaves

| Published 11.07.2010

For my JUGS post, click HERE :)


The ColourQ challenge this week has some mojo-licious colors this week :) 



This card also applies for the following challenges;
Cupcake craft challenges - thank you with autumn colors
Creative cottage - embossing
Aud sentiments - Thanks

I used the smallest leaf from PTI's leaf prints dies to cut three leaves from a sheet of white cardstock. Then I stamped a piece of pure poppy, summer sunrise and terra cotta tile with polka dots and clear embossed them to place behind the die cuts. I dry embossed the white cardstock with my new favorite diamond impression plate from PTI - I cannot put this thing down.... seriously. I've tried... I simply can't :) Another new love - I recently purchased a set of small Sizzix tag dies on sale at Joanne's (it looks like they may be retired based on my search online). They're great because each tag has two sizes so you can make a perfectly matted tag easily!
Since I make a lot of cards with white bases, I FINALLY got a black background for my photo tent! I think it sets off the card much better - what do you think? I actually got blue and grey backgrounds as a part of the package so I'll play with them in the upcoming weeks.

Off to enjoy our Sunday! Have a good one! Thanks so much for stopping by!

 TTFN,

Andrea

Fall is in full force here in eastern TN. The mountains are just ablaze with reds, oranges, and yellows - it's just amazing! And inspiring :)

I've got a fall-themed card to share. I used this week's fabulous ColourQ challenge colors - aren't they great?


For the layout, I went with the lovely Annabelle Stamps sketch.

And here's the end result.

All right, y'all. That's all I've got for now. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wedding rose

| Published 10.24.2010

To see my JUGS post, click HERE or scroll down :)



The colors are from one of two color inspirations provided by ColourQ this week - in honor of breast cancer awareness month. What a great reason to get inky :) After deciding on the Mojo Monday sketch and looking at the colors, I decided I would make a wedding card.



I colored the rose with Copics (R30, R32, R43) - I really like how soft and pretty it turned out. The seam binding also had the Copic treatment (R43) - man, these markers are versatile! Love 'em!!!

Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy weekend!

Here's one of this week's sketches over at 2Sketches4You; this beaut is by Rosemarie and I love it!


I used the colors provided by ColourQ. They have 2 color combinations this week; the one below and another for breast cancer awareness month. I'll have another card later using this very important color combo later :)



For some reason, I had a hard time with this one; not sure why but I just sat there mulling over ideas for a good hour or so. Nothing doing... Finally a little bit of inspiration but I'm not sure I'm in love with the end result. I do love the argyle stamp set from PTI though!

Thanks so much for stopping by! TTFN,

Papertrey Ink August Blog Hop

| Published 8.25.2010



Time for the Papertrey Blog Hop! Gonna make this a quick post unfortunately - seems like a busy time of year for a lot of folks and I'm no exception. Working 12 hour days at work but hoping to get back to a bit more normal schedule soon.

The challenge this month is to use a paper bag in the project. So I made a tri-fold card with a paper bag inside. I saw a tutorial on line HERE and thought it looked like a fun idea. 



I used the colors from the most recent colourQ challenge - I haven't played along with any of my favorite challenges recently so I'm glad to at least play along with one :)


Thanks so much for stopping by!!! I appreciate your visits :) Happy hopping!

Stamps: Scattered showers, Out on a limb

Colour Q Fun

| Published 8.06.2010

Howdy all!




This card is for the ColourQ challenge.




I used the latest Clean and Simple FTL sketch.




I really like this card - it's just so fun! It's fairly simple - simple enough that if I told you how long it took me to make it, I'd be a tad embarrassed :)

Thanks so much for stopping by! Be back tomorrow with a new JUGS challenge!!!

Arielle, from ColourQ, has organized this hop to celebrate sweet LeAnne's birthday - so glad you could join us! And here's a birthday card just for her :) I hope you day is extra special, LeAnne!!!


 For this birthday card, I used the sketch from 2sketches4you; 


I used PTI's All About You for the images and colored them with my copics. Love that set! I used the polka dot impression plate for the white background. The card base is dark chocolate and the ribbon is summer sunrise polka dot.

Felt comfy chair

| Published 6.27.2010

Hi all!!!  


If you are looking for my JUGS post, click HERE or scroll down... ;)


Hi all!
Here's a card for the most recent colourQ challenge. I love their color challenges! I did find this combo a bit challenging - I had a hard time coming up with a concept. Finally one happened through my mind but it was constantly changing as the card came together :)



I so wanted to use my new A Little Argyle stamp set since it arrived a few days ago. This seemed to be a great opportunity! What a great set to stamp with - very versatile and easy to use. The little chair, from On My Couch,  was stamped on simply chartreuse felt and cut out by hand (realized after that I owned the dies - LOL!).  This is another set that I recently purchased but can see using the heck out of. Speaking of using the heck out of a product, I think this is the first time I haven't used the linen texture plate on a project since I got it! I LOVE it!!! I stamped the lamp and paper-pieced with a previously stamped piece of card stock.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you're having a great weekend!

TTFN,
