A QUICK CARD TO SHARE

This is going to be a quick share as I just discovered that the challenge will be over in 3 hours and I will be on my way to Bible Study before that.  I created this card to cheer up the mother of a friend from one of my groups who has been having some struggles.

The card was created using this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #226.

and the message inside - 

I hope that this will bring her a bit of cheer and that you have enjoyed viewing my creation!

A COLORFUL WEEKEND!

I spent a lot of this weekend coloring!  I have always loved coloring since I was a young child. I just discovered Scrapbook Generation Facebook Group with their Lucky Me Online weekend crop and joined in on a batch of ther challenges...mostly the coloring ones...

The Four Leaf Clover 

Coloring Challenge 

According to legend, ther four leaves of the clover represent faith, hope, luck and love. The goal was to choose a coloring page that represented one of these and color it your choice. I chose this to represent love bevcause of all the tiny hearts!

The Rainbow Coloring Challenge

Color a page of any design using one shade of each of the seven rainbow colors...red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.

The Lucky Ombre Coloring Challenge
Color a mandela using only one color using as many shades of that one color as you wish, coloring it in ombre fashion using darker in the center and lighter on the edge.

The Lucky Number 7 

Coloring Challenge

A rainbow has 7 colors and rainbows and the number 7 are borth considered lucky.  Color a page with exactly 7 colors.

The Don't Pinch Me Coloring Challenge

Color a page using 5 shades of green plus one accent color.

The All I Want To Do Is Color

Color a page using any theme or color.

The Lucky Pick Layout Challenge

They gave you several color combos and were told to jot them down on paper and scramble them up and select one.  I selected Black and Gold.  I couldn't find my gold paper so I decided to create a gold and black design of my own.

And last I am going to share the card 

I made for this months 

Scrapping Everyday Miracles 

Card Challenge.

I hope that you have enjoyed seeing my weekend of creativity!  All comments are gratefully appreciated.

A BUSY ARTSY DAY! (and week!)

I had a fun day Saturday at a crop in Maryland with my friend Maraline.  I was actually able to get more done than I usually do so I am really happy today to have a lot to share with you.

First up is a tag that I made for a

Native American Tag Swap

over at Paper Doll Trading.

 

Last time I did one like this I had some fabulous fringe for the outfit but since this move I still can't find much of anything so I just cut my paper.

 

Next is a birthday card I did using Anita's Foiled Decoupage for the first time as well as a Sizzix embossing folder.  It is not the way we did decoupage years ago with the Mod Podge.  This is just layers of paper on tiny little pop dots.

 

 

A layout of my son and his first car.

 

 

 

 

And the rest of the share from Saturday are pages of a new 8x8 scrapbook I started of our new kitten!

 

The cover-

 

and the first few pages-

 

 

 

 

 

And I just discovered that I had not shared some tags I had created recently to swap with a new friend over at Paper Doll Trading, as well as a Sympathy card we sadly needed last week.

 

The card-

 

I am going to share this over at

Word Art Wednesday.

 

and now-

The tags-

 

 

 

And this last tag is for a challenge at Addicted to Paper Dolls using an item from our kitchen - which of course on here are the tea bags.

 

I will also share this one with

Coffee Loving Paper Crafters Facebook Group(they drink tea and cocoa too!)

Thanks so much for stopping by to view my latest creations!

I'M BACK!!!!

So sorry for the long lapse in posts.  I had a wonderful trip with my son Thomas to visit a dear old friend in Nashville, TN.  We had an awesome time and I just developed 400 photos! So, you will get to eventually share in a lot of our fun and sight-seeing!

I have not gotten to do much creating but I do have a few things to share...

While I was away I found a Hobby Lobby and did a bit of shopping and I created a gift tag for Thrifty Thursday challenge over at Addicted 2 Paper Dolls.  They only had 2 dolls in stock that I didn't have.  This one is Mindy.

My next share is for the December card sketch over at Scrapping Everyday Miracles.  

Here's the sketch-

and here is my card -

I am also going to enter this card over at 

Word Art Wednesday for challenge #212.

and my last share for tonite is part of my package for an angel gift at church.  The gift is part of a package for an 11 year old girl whose favorite colors are pink and white.  

and a few close-ups-

I hope to get back to working on my Christmas presents this week in between packing and apartment hunting.

and now I am off to bed!  Sweet Dreams!  

MY SATURDAY SHARE

I have two simple things to share with you today that I created last night when I went to visit my friend Maraline.

The first is a fun Autumn tag using the 

'Giula' 

Julie Nutting doll stamp.

I am entering her in the 

Try It On Tuesday Autumn challenge 

and in 

Trimmie's C.R.A.F.T. Challenge #332 Autumn/Halloween/Thanksgiving/Bonfire Night.

and in

Fashionable Stamping Challenges #104 

Changing Seasons

And next a fun baby boy card using 

Retro Sketches #185.

and my card-

It's really hard to read in the photo - it says

'WITH LOVE AND BEST WISHES 

TO YOUR NEW BABY'

I hope that you have enjoyed my Saturday creative endeavors.  

Hopefully I will have something else for you to check out later today!  

Please leave a comment to let me know you stopped by and what you thought of my latest creations!
