My Favorite Things challenge

I tried something new and different today and I might say- I like how it turned out. The Gals at MFT are having this little (wink, wink) challenge that I decided to participate in 

I used their beautiful Leafy Flourish die to decorate my design- it brough so much movement and life.

I used the color combo offered from the Gals at The Colour Q and combined it with the sketch from Case This Sketch.  This is the first time I'm using embossing paste- a little bit challenging but the results are worth the effort :)

Retro Sketch Challenge

Happy Monday Everyone :)

I'm stopping by to share a quick and easy card I made for  a few challenges

And since the holidays are coming faster then I am getting ready for it, I had to start from somewhere. I used the Retro sketch and combined it with the Card Concept call for a crafty Christmas. Simon Says is having a Star challenge this week, which was absolutely perfect for my project :)

The color combo is borrowed from the ColourQ challenge blog.
 Here the inspirations:)

Happy World Card Making Day!!!!

I keep thinking that I should start on my holiday cards, so... I finally did. I created a quick and simple card for Halloween following the Color Throwdown challenge, the sketch from Case this sketch and the inspiration from the Card concept. I decided to go with clean and simple, because it's Halloween- it's simple: Trick or Treat :) And did some stenciling, for fun and to play in the Addicted to CAS challenge

I hope you like it :)

Happy Birthday Danny

I made a card for my little nephew, who's obviously turning 7. Yes, I had to double check with my sister! I'm one of those Aunts ;)

I got a quick inspiration from the Freshly Made Sketches challenge using their sketch. And since Simon Says has a fun little challenge involving transportation I had to add some helicopters. And to make it a little more fun and to add some background I followed the lead of the Gals over at Addicted to Cas and used stencil (well, a drywall mesh to be more specific)

Less is More

Trying something completely different here. Totally and absolutely out of my comfort zone, but here it is-as simple as it can get.

I started by combining 3 challenges in one.
CASology are  trying the chocolate flavor, Less is more are focusing on Mostly Words and Colour Q as always offered the delicious colour recipe.

And That' s the final design. Of course I'm trying not to add a button, twine, ribbon and at least one enamel dot. So far-I haven't. But I wouldn't be surprised if I wake up in the middle of the night and do it :)

I find inspiration in...COLORS!!!!It'as amazing how much colours affect my mood. So lot's of colours here :) 

I grabbed the color palette over at the Colour me! Challenge blog

Colour me Playful :)

 I did! Lots of things going on-I have flowers, and buttons and twine, and let's not forget the pearl stickers (or as my boyfriend  calls them- lentils). I went all crazy, but Boy I had fun with it!

Blog Hop challenge

It's time for another Blog hop Challenge over at the Papertrey Ink Blog. Beautiful picture, giving so much to the the creative imagination. I made it quick and simple ( that's usually a struggle for me so I'm trying really hard not to add tons of things to a project). The layout got inspired by the sketch from this weeks's Cas(e) this sketch! challenge. 

So combining this color recipe and this simple but challenging sketch resulted in the above  card :)
