Color, Craft, Card!

 Hi all!

Happy Friday!

Today's card is a little of this and a little of that!

Sometimes I find stamped/die cut images in a small jar

as I'm cleaning up my craft desk ...

so I decided to craft with these colored images on a card!

Lucky me- I found all of these!

This was a fun card to make!

If you'd like to see the video version,

it's here!

And you'd like to subscribe to my channel, that would be awesome, too!

Here's my card:  

This one is for an Instagram hop that I am in

each Thursday ~

and we had so much fun, 

we will be back in October!

CCEE2238 ~ National Coffee Day!

Hi everyone ~

what a day, what a day!

It's National Coffee Day!

(which is totally a ME holiday!)

But - here in Florida - we are also experiencing 

the horrendous Hurricane Ian 

so we are praying for our state!

It made landfall a few hours ago

and we are just hoping for the best news all around

with everyone safe and accounted for.

My card!

it's been a wonderful month of challenges 

and I hope you have enjoyed playing (or viewing) along with the cards!

My theme this week:

Make a card using any coffee theme.

Coffee images, coffee dyed paper, etc. 

Use the code CCEE2238

Although coffee stamps are probably the MOST in my collection,

I used this MFT Pure Innocence stamp again

because she's truly one of my favorites!

I did some paper piecing on her dress 

and the rest colored with copics

and fall themed papers.

Be sure to check out the CCEE Stampers blog for more inspiration

and to link up your cards!

3M: Cute Scarecrow Henry!

Hi friends!

Today's post is me playing catch up!  

I finally had a chance to create a card with the 3M image 

for this month  ~

this cute CC Designs Scarecrow Henry!

It's absolutely a-dor-a-ble!

The Three Musketeers (Barb, Jeanette and I) have created

cards together since November 2014

and we are almost at our 100th swap!

ONE HUNDRED!

Mind. Blown!

If you want to see the Youtube chat about this card,

you can see it here in my card share!

The idea behind the 3M was Jeanette's baby idea 

and we take turned sending each other a stamped image

(from a list of allowed shareable stamp companies.)

We each received this cute scarecrow which I colored

with my copic markers.

I used some Echo Park fall themed papers

to create a base for the card and then colored it to match.

This was so fun and a great way to remember: 

It's fall ya'll!

If you'd like to see how Jeanette and Barb used this image,

head over to their blogs, too!

Next month, Barb is up and I can't wait to see what she is sending!

Thanks for stopping by!

CCEE2237 ~ Happy 1st day of autumn!

 Hi friends!

Happy first day of autumn!

September 22, 2022 is officially the beginning of fall :)

Such a gorgeous time of year

(unless you're in South Florida - 

and then it's still perpetually SUMMER!)

I challenged the design team to create a fall themed card

this week at the CCEE Stampers blog 

and here's what I made:

I kept my card pretty CAS and let the papers be the wow factor this week.

I used a new to me stamp set from Penny Black that I purchased

last year and never used until now!

Hi all!

I have 2 posts today ~ for the DD2 post, click here!

Today is International Dot Day

and my challenge at the CCEE Stampers

this week is to show us your cards with a circle,

polka dots or anything round! 

For my rounds,

I decided to go with a pink Halloween

and colored the pumpkin to match, too!

The ONE in '22 ~ September!

Hi my friends!

It's time for my FAVORITE card challenge ~

One Plus Twelve!

This is my 4th year doing this personal challenge,

one I made up literally in the middle of the night ...

and it's my absolute favorite card creation idea!

(and I have LOTS of 'em!)

This month, I'm heading to Disney!

Not literally .......... that's in October!  

Woohoo!

SI decided to use my Echo Park Birthday Boy paper collection

and make a Disney inspired card for this month's challenge.

Sorry about the bad photo quality ~

I dropped my camera and the internal software is bonkers!

Please see what Barb and Jeanette

 have created as they are also doing this challenge in 2022.

CCEE2234 ~ International Toy Testing Day!

Hi friends!

I'm the hostess for the September challenges at the CCEE Stampers

and I'll be bringing you a new idea to create a card each Thursday!

  Today is International Toy Testing Day

so I've challenged the amazing design team - and all of you -

to show us your cards with a toy/toys on them!

Think Christmas cards and Santa’s workshop, too! 

Here's my card with the elves goofin' off at Christmas!

They are eating cookies, playing on the rocking horse TOY,

falling asleep instead of packing the toys onto the sleigh!

TOO cute!

This is one of my favorite holiday sets from Hero Arts

and I've created a little snowy scene outside the workshop window.

Be sure to stop in the CCEE Stampers blog

and link up your card as well as check out the DT cards!
