Just Us Girls Challenge #789 - Mood Board Week

Lisa has a Mood Board for the challenge at Just Us Girls this week.


There are so many ways to go with this and although it had me stumped at first I'm happy with my card.


I randomly stamped the books from Altenew's Tall Tales around the edge of my panel and colored them with artist markers. The sentiment is from the same set and both panels were cut with Hero Arts Postage die and added to a dark green base. 

What sparks your creativity in the mood board?  The Design Team has inspiration for you on the blog.

Color Hues #116

 Today's card is for the Color Hues challenge - red and blue. 


I love seeing bright red cardinals in the trees during the winter, especially if there is a little snow on them.  The trees, not the cardinals.  lol  I used Honey Bee's Winter Birds cutting him from three colors of red. The branch is from their Winter Foliage, edged with some embossing powder.  Plain blue wouldn't work for the background so I used an MFT Brush Splatter stamp with Unicorn White ink.  The sentiment is from Let Nature Sing, embossed in white on the same blue as the sky. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I'm off on a crafting adventure tomorrow.  I'll tell you all about it later.

Christmas Kickstart #101 and Krafty Chicks #781

The other day I did Tim's Funky Floral Wreath.  Today it's his Festive Wreath for Christmas Kickstart and Krafty Chicks - Christmas. 


I left off the poinsettia, doubled up on the orange slices and tripled the pine cones to give a more rustic feel to my wreath, including a plaid bow that was also doubled.  The edges of the Honey Bee Deckle Edge and card base were inked with Altenew Vanilla Cream and Sand Dunes.  A BetterPress sentiment in dark green fit inside perfectly. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I hope your week is off to a good start.

Freshly Made Sketches #699 and Cut It Up #336

I got out my TH Funky Floral Wreath again for Freshly Made Sketches.


It's rather clean and simple and cut from colored scraps with a sentiment from Hero Arts.  Since it is all die cuts, I'm also sending this to a new to me challenge: Cut It Up - Add a sentiment. 

Quick post but I'm glad you came by to see what I've been up to.
