Thankful

Time for some Double Trouble Challenge Blog #71 "All the Trimmings". A tic tac toe board was provided and I used the center down and the bottom across. 

I used the Gina K Wreath Builder, Simon Says/Gina K Amazing Flowers, Karin Briushmarker Pro and Prismacolor Pencils, and a Darice embossing folder with Distress Inks. A few Nuvo Drops and gold thread finished up the card.

Thanks for stopping by. I'm also sharing this with:

Coffee Lover's Bloghop Fall/Winter 2020 Day Eight and The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge

Oops, I thought yesterday was the last day of the Coffee Lovers Bloghop. But one more it is and this is for The Daily Marker Coloring Challenge as well.

 

I used many different dies so I will only mention the snowflake from The Stamps of Life. The stamps are Santa's Coming from Little Acres Creations, and the coloring is courtesy of Copics. 

Said all my thanks for the coffee bloghop yesterday due to my mix up on which was the last day. Hope you'll continue to view my coloring on Instagram.

The Coffee Lover's Bloghop Fall/Winter 2020 Day Five

For Day Five of the Coffee Lovers Bloghop, I used a set of infinity dies from Hero Arts to make a stencil. I used Starry Flowers from Altenew for the design. With extra pieces, I decided to create two cards at once. I used Distress Inks for the color.

Thanks for stopping by. See you tomorrow!

Coffee Lovers Bloghop Fall/Winter Day Two

For Day Two of the Coffee Lovers Bloghop, I selected one of my favorite stamps from Jennifer Dove, Dove Art Studios, Hot Sip. I colored on Kraft using Copic markers. I love this embossing folder as well that I used the swiping of inks technique to add coffee tones to the back and greens to the front. The sentiment is from Waffle Flower.

Coffee Lovers Bloghop Fall/Winter Day One

I am hoping that joining in on this, always fun, Coffee Lovers Bloghop will get me back to posting. I could never have anticipated how disruptive moving and various life events could be. But, I'm happy to join in on this fun hop!

For day one I created a slimline card using a Hero Arts Stamp set, and the Stamps of Life Snowflake die cut for the background. A few Nuvo drops and Tulip puffy fabric paint completed the card.

Thanks for stopping by! 

 

I am back...kind of!

I am back!

It’s been a long three months, and a lot of things have happened that have kept me from crafting. Right now, I’m limping along in my new craft room that is less than half of what I had before and so cluttered and disorganized that I have no idea where anything is, LOL! Hopefully, things will improve as we continue to open the enormous number of boxes that came from Arizona to our new home in Texas.

Totally loving the long/tall format. Our nephew and his sweetie purchased a new home so I had to at least try to put something together. I used the Simon Says set Home Sweet Home and colored pencils. 

All of my die cuts are still hiding from me, so my cardmaking is really limited. Can't promise much until I find all of my supplies and find a way to add them to the new space in a way that I can find them. This card took way too many hours as each item I needed was not where I thought it should be! And, for those of you who complain when it takes a few moments to download something.....we have no option but to use satellite in our new home, meaning sometimes you can't download at all since connections often time out. It takes over 24 hours to back up my phone/iPad, and I can't send things with attachments. Goodby Netflix unless you're willing to spool for over a minute every other minute. Some adjustments will be made and I'm not sure how this will affect my online interests. Any suggestions from anyone who has dealt with this themselves will be more than welcomed. 

Nice chatting with you again, my friends!

Pearls and Lace - Junk Journal

The optional twist for Twisted Thursday, is Pearls and Lace. Last post, I showed the creation of one of the  digital journals available from our sponsor, Vectoria Designs!






Here is a double page spread with this weeks twist:

I used several elements from one of the sets that I printed out, and I also added some things from my stash, stencils, and Distress ink borders to tone down the brightness a bit. The butterfly has a jeweled body just for fun too!

As I said in my last post, I am so in love with these reasonably priced journal sets that I had to purchase several of them!

And, remember, there are loads of helpful videos on how to construct your own journals on YouTube!

You're a Doll

#57 for the Double Trouble Challenge Blog is all about our favorite childhood toy/s. Well, for me it was dolls. I had/have many! Never really took to the Raggedy Ann kind, but that's the image I had from Dee Dees Digis, which doesn't seem to be selling any longer. The sentiment is from Tiddly Inks.

Part of the challenge was to use Kraft, which I just love using. I used some Copics, Prismacolor pencils, and gel pens.

An option includes sharing with Crafting Happiness who has an "kids" theme going on!

Thanks for stopping by!

Vintage Junk Journal

The optional twist for Twisted Thursday, is Vintage. I am just loving the digital journals available from our sponsor, Vectoria Designs!

Cover

From Top

Using elements from the set, I created the covers and pages. On the right page, the circle can be lifted to place a "hidden" message.

Adding a lot of Distress inks and subtle pencil coloring adds to the vintage look of any page. 

On the left of this double page spread, you can see a pocket and two other pages.

Birthday Butterfly

Double Trouble Challenge Blog # 56!

A birthday card or scrapbook page, a tic tac toe ( Birthday, Things that Fly, Sponging) from the Joy of SetsTic Tac Toe Challenge , and some sponging, would go together to make for a nice presentation.

A bit of coloring on parchment, some embossing, and fun die cutting, then all placed on the top of a sponged stencil background!

Stamplorations Spring Blooms

Our sponsor is Sherry Russ Designs with Stamplorations. The prompt for Twisted Thursday is to use an image from our sponsor

 .

I used the digital set, Spring Blooms and Mugs, colored with Copics and colored pencils, edged with Distress inks, layered on to matching Copic air sprayed frame, and finished with some Nuvo Drop.

Rain or Shine

Double Trouble Challenge Blog #55 is all about spring. Do look at all the fun things you can do to participate!

I have been having so much fun with my new stamp set from Simon Says Stamp, Follow the Rainbow (colored with Copics), and the fun clouds stencil, Clouds for Days (using Distress Inks).  I stamped then masked the image to add the background. Using the inspirational photo, I selected clouds, an umbrella, a puddle with clear Nuvo drops with matching raindrops, and the color lavender, one of my favorites!

As an additional challenge, we can share with Artsystamper Digitals Challenge #14, also about spring.

Also shared with Simon Says Stamps Blog Monday Challenge to create a scene. Mine is a rainy day scene!

Coffee First

Our sponsor is Sherry Russ Designs with Stamplorations. The prompt for Twisted Thursday is Map or Sign.

I used the digital set, Spring Blooms and Mugs, for the individual mug, colored with Copics, and then popped. The other mug is a stamp, Framed Coffee Cup, stamped with a sentiment from Coffeeology. and highlighted with Distress Inks and some colored pencils. I used a map from my stash, added a strip of Kraft with stamped coffee beans, and finished with some Nuvo Drop.

Hello Friend

Double Trouble Challenge Blog, #53, is an anything goes, use your stuff/scraps, and share with a previous challenge partner. Not everything is necessary, so do check out all the details. I created a tag for this challenge.

I pulled out my newest stamps set, Stronger Together, from Simon Says Stamps, and heat embossed on some scraps of paper I had on my desk. I colored with metallic colored pencils and added some white gel pen details. The little hearts are popped and a few Nuvo drops were added for a bit more texture.

Shared with Crafting Happiness Challenges.

Edited to add: National Goof Off Day and National Chip and Dip Day as an added fun play from our friends at Double Trouble as requested by my friend, Sue! I can't eat chips, so I played with some sugar free chocolate dip and nuts to make this silly face!

Coffee Date with Lisa and Jean

I am so pleased to share the coffee date card I made with my dear friend Lisa Bzibziak for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers. We share the same love of collecting stamps and dies so it was hard to narrow down what we would select to use in common. We finally decided to go with one of our favorite stamp companies, Art Impression Stamps (I used Art Impressions Hot Java Mama), and a Stamps of Life Coffee Cup A2 Fold-it Card stand up card). Lisa is a great "date", and we had so much fun doing this for you!

I cut the card itself from Kraft and colored with Copic Markers, Prismacolor colored pencils, and a white gel pen. A wrap with some red heavy string finished up the card.
Please be sure to get over to Lisa's blog to see what she created for our "date"!

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll join in on the hop!
