Some Weekend Projects

I had a little extra time to craft this weekend so I did the featured stamper challenge on Splitcoaststampers and also played in the VSBN Scrapbook challenges too.  It was a fun and crafty weekend.  

The Featured Stamper challenge was to case Lee Ann.  I cased THIS pretty card. I kept close to her colors but changed the image, sentiment, the sketch (a bit) and added acrylic dots.  I am still loving the Good Morning Magnolia set - I promise I will take a break from it soon!

I stamped the main flower, colored, then masked and stamped the flower again.  
There were a few challenges on SCS involving stripes and this is the page I did for those challenges.

The stamp is from the new Sailing Home set and the paper is from the matching dp.
I used the same stamp set on this two page layout (it was from a sketch challenge).  The fish are from an old SU! set - Very Punny. I masked over a strip in the pages with a torn paper so I could make a little river for the fish to swim in - lol.  The dp is left overs from the page above. 
Hope you had a great crafty weekend!

Hugz,

Nancy

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Some Penguins

Today kicks off the newest Pattie's Creations Challenge which is Tags . Just Tags. No cards with Tags on or in them - just tags. I love to make just tags so this one was right up my alley. I used the super cute Penguin image from Pattie's Creations, but I couldn't stop at just one so I made a little penguin family. My tag is made from an old cardboard box top which I peeled down, painted, distressed a bit, and then added some snow medium. My bow is actually a new bow designed by Pamela Lehto (available at Squigglefly tomorrow). Please join us in the Pattie's Creations Tag Challenge - there are lovely DT tags for inspiration and Pattie gives away wonderful prizes! Hugz!

Bear-ied In Paperwork

 Back again, with a card for this week's House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge ( HMFMC#424 ).  This week the challenge is Anything goes with the option of scraps of paper. I took the option literally and added scraps of paper on my kitchen counter.  I needed a thank you card for someone who has been helping us organize A LOT of papers.   I stamped the image (House Mouse Gruffies Bear-ied in Paperwork -2007) using CTMH Black, then coloring the image with Daniel Smith Watercolors.  I drew in an extra paper or two so that I could make one of them a Thank You paper - it is the top right and shaded pink.  Thanks for visiting, Nancy
