RED ......... Finally!

Have you been missing my RED cards???  This one should make you happy if you thought I was forgetting!

This was made for the Sketch Challenge at SCS.  The image is from Rubbernecker (496-08, Wildflowers).  I love inking this stamp in one color!!

Have a great day, and thanks for looking.

Harvest CAS

Today I combined the challenges into one Clean and Simple card.

The images are from Rubbernecker Fall Trilogy Set.  The colors of ink are pumpkin, rust, and durango.

Thanks for looking.

Santa

Here's a close look at the card I made today.  the Inspiration Challenge led us to Pier 1 Imports, where they have LOTS of Santas.

I used a Rubbernecker Stamp(209-07 Winter Holiday #4 Santa) for my image and sentiment.

The only thing you can't see well is the glaze on his glasses.  Trust me, it's there.  Have a great weekend!

Hooray For Shirt!

Today, the Queen For The Day is Shirley McQuarry, also know as Shirt!

I was delighted to case one of her most recent cards, keeping the Christmas theme, but changing the colors.

Congratulations Shirt......how you deserve this honor.  Enjoy!!!

CCEE1241 Fall Leaves

Welcome back to another CCEE!  Our challenge from our Hostess Brenda (Benzi) is to use Fall colors, leaves and a border punch.

I used my border punch on the panel and added a silk leaf.  The only stamping is the owrd "Fall" from SU's set Happy Fall Y'All.

Please join us again this week, linking your card HERE.

CHF11 Give Thanks

Welcome back to the Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge!

This week our hostess, Jacqueline Smith, challenged us to make - In time for Canada's Thanksgiving - a give thanks card in RED and White.

I used CHF's digital image Daisy Trio (810-D), using the marker to rubber technique.  The bg is the Thanks EF from Cuttlebug.  I used a new nestie in RED, my old fence punch and an oval nestie.  Just had to add a RED ribbon too!

Please join us, linking your card HERE.  You just might win a $10.00 gift certificate for playing along, using your CHF stamps.

See you in two weeks with another fun challenge!

Mr. Stix

I love this snowman!

Rubbernecker Stamps (36-03 Winter Holiday #4),
Mr. Stix!

The challenges today were to use plaid, and to use dimension.  The panel is popped up, and the ribbon and bg dp are plaid.

This image is also cut out of the box, which I love to do.
Have a great day!

Halloween Humor

This is a card for our son who always has music with him..........I hope it gets a laugh!

The inside says "wrap".

It's also for the IC challenge today. Our site is called Magpie, and I took inspiration from a mug that had white, orange and gray circles.  Have a great weekend!

A Birthday and Halloween

Here's the card I made for today.........a rosette for the Free 4 All Challenge, and a case for our Queen for the Day, Denise (resqbarbie).

I learned something important.  When a rosette is very small, it's also very hard to turn.

I hope Denise likes the changes I made in her honor.

This is the card I posted yesterday.

It's a birthday card for our very good friend in PA, Elaine.  She loves dragons and cats.  She has two cats (Bill and Joel), and lots of dragon figurines that her cats leave alone!

I used a Rubbernecker image and sentiment from the set "Halloween Cats", and combined them with my favorite colors, of course.

I'll be glad when making Halloween cards is over....I sure miss making cards with LOTS of RED!

CCEE1240 Chipboard

Our Hostess for the month of October is Brenda, aka Benzi.  Her challenge for the CCEE is to use chipboard.

I used chipboard letters colored with a gold pen.  The bg is the Spider Web ef, and the ghost is a die from Sizzix.  All I did was pop up the ghosst and tie some ribbon on the "O".

Please join us this week, and every Thursday, linking your card HERE so we can see what you have done too.

It's Officially Fall! and NEWS!

Today is the last day of Red Sox baseball.  That makes it Fall in my book.  The leaves are changing color, and football has replaced baseball in this house.

My card is for the Sketch Challenge at SCS today.  I love this sentiment, and Kaleidacolor Pumpkin has the most fabulous Autumn hues!

Now to the news.............

I was asked to accept a position at CHF for the next year.  They chose seven of the original 20 to continue, and I was one! I accepted right away.

You'll be seeing more Cornish Heritage Farms images from me in a little while.  Please come back and check often!

Two cards for today

 This card was made for the MMTPT challenge......to make a card with yellow.

This is in the mailbox waiting to be picked up this morning.  It's going to a lady in FL named Jean, who is a terminal cancer patient.  She loves yellow.

I hope this card brings some sunshine to her day!

This one is for the color challenge........purple, orange, green.

How could I pass up an opportunity to add to my stash of Halloween cards?

I used a wonderful die cut ghost and some die cut clouds as well. the grass and moon are punches.  I had some twine that just matched, and I think the BEWARE is the perfect sentiment.

Thanks for looking.  Have a fun day.

Christmas in Blue

My card on the left in BLUE is a case of Vicki's wonderful Christmas card.  She is our Featured stamper today, and has so many lovely cards in her gallery.

I changed the colors and embossing folder, punched out the ornament, and kept a monochromatic theme for the holidays.  I hope you (and she) likes what I have done.

Enjoy the day!

Triple Layer

This is the first triple layer card I have ever made.....and it's EASY!!  I made this card to honor my friend Peggy, who was the QFTD on SCS when I was unaable to stamp.

It's also for the Inspiration Challenge today.  I love blue and RED birds, so this was a no-brainer!

We still are hacking and coughing, and the rain is still with us.  DH is bailing out the basement and garage as usual!  Guess how happy he is!!!!!

CCEE1239 Make Your Own

Our September hostess, Sabrina Friel, challenged us to make our own designer paper today.

I used Rubbernecker stamps from the set 480 Fall Trilogy.  Those in the bg for the dp are done in Sepia, and then run through the cb to add texture.  The leaves on the cb'd leaf are colored with Pumpkin Kaleidacolor.  I edged with sepia, punched out a couple of leaves, and made the veins with Suede.  I finished off the card by adding ribbon.

Please join us HERE, linking your card so we can enjoy it too.  See you again next week for new challenges. 

Halloween Scene

I'm almost done catching up on the QFTD challenges I've missed.  This card is a case of one done by YLM (Cindy) at SCS.

I used the Sketch Challenge for today, and replaced her image with the gravestone.  I really like the way the sppoky clouds came out.  I hope Cindy likes what I did.

CHF10 - Twine/Hemp/Linen thread

Our hostess this week, Holly, asked us to use twine, hemp, linen thread, baker's twine, whatever.  I couldn't resist this beautiful lion (#939), stamped on cork, layered with black, and on a really African dp.  The Twine was a perfect addition, I think.

Please join us HERE, and link your card.  Be sure to check out the entries of the DT, and look for another challenge in two weeks.

Just catching up!

Today I am doing some catching up on the QFTD I have missed. This one is in honor of Barbie P., who was our Queen#125.




Below is the card for Marie-alice, our Queen #126.  Her card was called "Smiles, and had a dog and pawprints.








This last card is for the combined challenges at SCS today.......... the Technique (dots) and Clean and Simple (sketch).

Now I have only three more to honor.  I hope to have them ready by the end of the week!

We all have awful colds, Mom still has Bronchitis!!  Wish us well!
 

Time for Sue

I figured out how to put three images in a picture. Yay!

My card is on the left, in case you wondered. I cased Sue (bensarmom), our QFTD 124 (I'm catching up!), and her card is in the upper right. Belated congrats Sue!

The lower left shows the inspiration that produced my card from the Bella Soleil website. This clock was called "Rustic Iron Wall Clock".

For Queen Joanne

Joanne (jojot) Grzelak is our newly named Queen For The Day.  she is not only a talented stamper (who does fabulous layouts with piercing), but one of the nicest gals I know!

This card is a poor case of hers.  I will never be able to pierce the way she does!!


Congratulations Girlfriend.  Enjoy the cards made in your honor today!
