CHF extra

Here's an extra card made with a CHF digital cardinal.

Adds to my stash of Christmas cards.

Thanks for looking.

CCEE1347 Embossing and Glitter

Cindy's challenge this week is to use Embossing (dry or wet) and Glitter.

I dry embossed the snowflakes, and used glitter glue on the snow and in the center of the flake.  I think this makes a really cute Christmas card.

Please join us, linking your card HERE, and come back next week for another fun challenge.

CHF40 Thanksgiving

Our hostess for today, Steph, challenged us to make a Thanksgiving card, since it's only a week away.

This is the front of the card I made, using a Cornish Heritage Farms digi stamp.  I colored it with markers and colored pencils, then fussy cut it out.  It's popped up on dimensionals.


The real treat is the inside..............

.......where I popped up a sign post with labels for the holiday, and added a CHF sentiment digi as well.


I hope you will feel free to join us, linking your card HERE.  Come back again next week for another challenge!

CCEE1346 Stitches

This week, Cindy challenged us to use stitches.  Since she didn't say REAL or FAUX, I went with the latter.  I thought my card was busy enough without taking out my sewing machine.....although it really is faster in the long run!!

I hope you like my little Whipper snapper bee and flowers!

Thomas Kinkade Week at CHF

The Thomas Kinkade image from Cornish Heritage Farms I have featured this week is called "Streams of Living Waters".  I brayered the stamp with Wasabi green ink, added a sentiment and a strip of ribbon.

The image is so beautiful, I really didn't want to accent anything else.

Please go and look at Cornish Heritage Farms and see all the wonderful treats by Thomas Kinkade.

See you next week.

CCEE1345 Ribbon and Lace

Our hostess for the month of November is Cindy Haffner.  Her first challenge is to use ribbon and lace.

You can see that all I did was thread some black ribbon through the holes in the ecru lace.  I love the way it looks with a couple of bows.

Please join us, linking your card HERE, and be sure to join us again next week for another challenge from Cindy.

CHF39 Get Well

This week I am the Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge Hostess.  I gave "Get Well" as the theme.

This image and sentiment is from CHF's digital stamp category.   The dog is painted in shades of brown.........in fact, most of this card is brown.  I added some black to give it some contrast.

Please join us this week, and every week, linking your card  HERE.

CCEE1344 Dog Theme

 As my last challenge for the month of October, in honor of Adopt A Shelter Dog Month, make a card with a dog theme.

I just LOVE this image from Mo Manning!

My DD and her DH adopted a mixed breed dog named Nitro from the Sterling MA animal shelter, and he is the loveliest dog.  He is so well behaved that when the TV goes off at night, he gets up, stretches, and goes to his bed.

Please join us this week, linking your card HERE, and checking out what the DT has done with this challenge.  If you upload to SCS, don't forget to add CCEE1344.

CHF Snowman

Here is a Christmas snowman from Cornish Heritage Farms, a digi, and isn't he just the cutest??

I painted him in purple and green, of course with an orange carrot nose.

Here's the website where you can find him:

CCEE1343 Non -Traditional Halloween

My third challenge as Hostess for CCEE is:

Make a Halloween card without Green, Orange, Purple, or BLACK.

Of course I chose RED!!

I hope you can see the web, fence, and spiders (EUUW) all popped up. The image is from the Internet.

See you next week for my last theme!

And here is my card:

CCEE1342 FLOWERS!

I am hostess for the CCEE challenges this month, and the theme I chose for this week is flowers, the more the better!

I took a picture of my card on an angle so you can see all the layers that I cut out (and I won't do that again soon!) and popped up. I also stamped flowers all over the bg layer.

I hope you will want to join us in this easy-peasy challenge.  Please link your card HERE  where we can enjoy it too.  See you again next week!

CHF Palms

About this time of year I start thinking about island breezes.  I guess the prospect of Winter approaching gets the better of me.

these palm trees come from Cornish Heritage farms.  Don't they look inviting???

CCEE1341 Football

My challenge to the team at CCEE this week, in honor of Bret Favre's birthday, is to make a card with a football theme.

I love this image made by Bonibleaux Designs (that unfortunately went out of business) of a Tight End named Ted.  I wouldn't want to be facing him on the field!!

Please join us linking your card HERE, and join us again next Thursday.

CHF37 Halloween/Fall

This week I am the hostess at Cornish Heritage Farms, and I challenged the DT to a theme of Halloween or Fall.

I used rubber stamps from the set called "Fall Harvest".  I love the stamp of Indian Corn.....that really says Fall to me!

Please join us with your own CHF images, and you could win some fabulous goodies.  Be sure to link your card HERE.  Please join us again!

CCEE1340 Ovals

I am the CCEE hostess for this month. 

Opal is the October gemstone.  Since they are oval, I challenged the Team to make an oval card or to use ovals.

My card has four ovals.......I guess that's enough!

Please join us, linking your card HERE, and be sure to come back next Thursday as well.

Snowy Night

Today I used a basic sketch from SCS.  I adjusted it a bit to make it fit the idea I had........

Mom and I are making our Christmas card stash, and having fun making a mess.  My craft room is so overcrowded we are forced to use the kitchen.  Bit by bit, we will have everything in two rooms a wreck!!

We are off to enjoy a lunch at our favorite place.....we sit at the bar and have a glass of wine while we wait for our order.  Who could ask for more?

Have a fun day.  Whatever you are up to, I hope you enjoy!!

Thomas Kinkade from CHF

There is a new group of images at Cornish Heritage Farms, all from Thomas Kinkade.  The stamps are fabulous!!

For this image, called "The Good Life", I brayered with Spanish Moss, and highlighted with markers and sponges.

The sentiment is also CHF.

Please check out all the wonderful new stamps at Cornish Heritage Farms.  See you again next Tuesday.

CCEE1339 Johnny Appleseed Day

Today is Johnny Appleseed Day.  Our hostess Lois, for her last theme of the month, challenged us to make a card using some kind of fruit (extra points for apples).  How could I resist the extra points??  Here's what I made:

This is the first time I have used only one sheet of paper for the entire card.  WOW!  Can you believe that??  I embossed the bg, scored the panel, die cut leaves, versamarked and RED embossed the apple, punched a fence, and stamped a sentiment all on green Bazzill.  The fence and words are popped.  I hope you like it.

CHF36 Mushrooms

Frances is our hostess today at Cornish Heritage Farms.  She challenged us to make a card with mushrooms.

I chose this cute bunch of mushrooms digi stamp at CHF, coloring them with olive, river rock and caramel markers.  The saying I wrote on white, and punched it out. 

I think this will be a fun card to send to a friend who loves the out-of-doors, and is a mushroom lover.

Please join us, and use any of your CHF stamps.  See you next week!
