Christmas Ornament

I have a challenge up today in the 12 Days Of Christmas Mini Crop going on at Turtle Soup. My challenge is to make a Christmas Ornament. Any kind of ornament you want. I found a tutorial from Graphic 45 for making a glass ornament using tissue paper to stamp on it. I love how it came out and it really was easy.

You can view the tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zl_x_DuWQ4&feature=youtu.be&list=UULlgXsgS3-rEyTNBbg3Nz3w

We would love for you to join our mini crop.  We have lots of fun challenges going on through Dec. 12th and the due date for all the challenges is Dec. 17th. Hope to see you there!

Frozen Birthday Card

Well, my youngest granddaughter is turning 5 soon and she wanted the castle playhouse from Frozen so, of course, I had to make a Frozen birthday card for her. Anna is her favorite character and I just love Olaf and since we share the same birthday I incorporated both characters.

I printed the images out and then fussy cut them. For the background I scribbled pink and blue gelatos and then wet it to blend them. There are also stars stamped and embossed with glitter embossing powder but you can't really see them here. I'm happy with how it came out since I'm scrapping with limited supplies while waiting for our house to be built.

This is also for the Banner Card Challenge in the November Mini Crop at Turtle Soup. Come check it out. Our theme this month is banners and flags.....lots of fun challenges going on!

Slip N Slide

We've got a mini crop going on at Turtle Soup. It starts today and runs through Sunday, Nov. 29th.
For my mini crop challenge, I want you to make and use some flags on your project. The flags I made remind me of the seasonal flags people have in their yards.

This is my granddaughter trying out the slide at a birthday party. She was only a little over 2 years old and she doesn't look like she's having too much fun. I just had to laugh when I saw this photo!

All the papers on here are from Seaside Yacht collection by DCWV. The colors just went perfectly with the photo.

So please come join our mini crop. Lots of fun challenges going on! Hope to see you there!

Akaka Falls State Park

It's time for another DT sketch reveal at Turtle Soup. Please stop by and check out all the different takes by our DT members. Here's my layout about a gorgeous waterfall we saw in Hawaii.

Here's the sketch we had to work with

We'd love to have you play along with us!

Creepy Crawly

I started working on a couple of Halloween cards and decided to do one for the Creepy Crawly card challenge at Cards in Envy.

I embossed some Core'dinations Black Magic paper with a spider web embossing folder and then used sandpaper to distress it. The spider was cut with my Cricut. Simple and quick card!

Believe

Here's another Christmas card I've made for one of the WCMD challenges at the Turtle Soup Mini Crop. It was simple.....you just had to make a Christmas card.

Such a simple card but I really like it. It was so quick and easy, I made several of them!

Fall Colors

I've got an inspiration challenge up at Turtle Soup today. I wanted to do a fall layout but not using the usual orange colors. I found this mood board on Design Seeds and thought it was perfect.

And here's my layout

This photo was perfect for these fall colors. I got messy with the background using texture paste and mists. The triangles were cut with my cricut and I backed some of them with some old fall papers I had. I'm very happy with how it turned out.
