Happy Saturday.

Any why, because it's the 5th Saturday and that means our challenge this week is' Freestyle' at Hiding In My Craft Room

Anything Goes!

We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Challenge #143

The sponsor this week is PaperTemptress.com

The giveaway is a $25 gift certificate to http://www.papertemptress.com/

My card this week features paper from Paper Temptress and I took a flag/banner punch and made this fun card.  I chose to not use a flashy image and just focus on the paper.  I added a small sticker sentiment and  bow.

I love the colors and how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great weekend.

It's Raining Rainbows

This week at Creative Corner Challenges we are focusing on Rainbows.  Now I didn't actually put a rainbow on my card for the challenge, but I used rainbow colors.

I created the background by using Washi tape and adhering it diagonally on the card front.  This created the rainbow effect with colors.  Using a felt flower and a few Spellbinder cut leaves I have the basic card.  Simple sentiment attached for the finishing touch.

I hope you will stop over at Creative Corner Challenges and see what the other DT's have for inspiration.

Rainy Day Thursday

Well, it's rainy here in Iowa today and I have to wait at home for a couple of deliveries.  I am working on all of my DT projects for the week and during my moving of stuff on my desk I uncovered this cute little Mo Manning image that I colored at least a year ago.  So I gathered up a few papers, pearls and accents to put together this card.  I left it without a sentiment thinking that it could be used just like it is or I can add the sentiment for a special occasion.  Granted, Bella has Easter eggs in her basket and Bronte has on rabbit ears, I could stretch it for a couple of weeks if I needed a basic little card.

Thanks for stopping by for my quick post, now it's time for me to get back to business and finish my weeks assignments.

Spring..SNOW?????

Ok, so who forgot to tell the weatherman that when it's Spring, that means EVERYWHERE.  

Including IOWA!!

Well it snowed some yesterday and again last night.  The ground is covered and the wind is just howling.  Hopefully this is the last of this weather and by the end of the week we could see the 50's.

Today I want to share a simple little card I made with some scraps from the desk. 

 It's a sweet basket of flowers.  This is a great type of card to have on hand because it has no sentiment and can be used for so many occasions.  

Just add the sentiment when needed.

Thanks for stopping by today.

It's all about the TEXTURE...

It's Greetings Challenge day again at The Outlawz and this week it's all about the Texture.  We want to see all those fun touchy-feely projects.

Our Sponsors for this weeks challenge are:

and

My image this week is from Limited Runs

Limited Runs- Sports Car

I made an easel card so that the Sports Car could stand up in front of my city scene.  My main texture for the card is a Spellbinders embossing folder that has a tire track design.  You might be able to see it a little better in the picture below.

I also used some little wood pieces to create the accent .

I hope you enjoy my card today and have a great Monday.  Looking like it's going to SNOW again here in Iowa, oh well it's warm someplace.....

Thanks for stopping by

Challenge #64 at 613 Avenue Create

It's Sunday and we have another challenge from 613 Avenue Create today.

Challenge #64 Anything Goes/Optional Twist - Birds of a Feather

 You can enter your Anything Goes creation or you can try our optional twist this week which is Birds of a Feather (birds, feathers, wings, etc, it's open to your interpretation!). 

My image this week is from one of our spnsors;

 

Edgar The Raven

When I saw Edgar I thought about a box of feathers I have and figured he could use a few.  I also wanted to use paper piecing for his vest, so that was my jumping off point.  Went through my scrap papers to find a good pattern and then planned the card from there.  I decided to keep the card on more of a masculine feel, so not much accent.  I chose some twine and square nail heads.

I hope you enjoy my version of 'Birds of a Feather' and go on over to 613 Avenue Create and check out all the other DT inspiration.
