It’s a new Challenge at Glitterbabes!

Good morning everyone I hope everyone is enjoying a nice Fall day.

Thanks to all our great followers for participating in Glitterbabes last challenge we appreciate your support.   Go check out the winner here. Now its time for a new challenge over at Glitterbabes and we have a new sponsor to help us out.  Our great sponsor today is: Ellephantastic Cards and Crafts and they have provided the great image for the team to play with so I created one of my favorite kind of cards, an easel card.  

elephant-sized FUN!

Here is my card for this weeks challenge.  I love Pinks and Greens as colors for Christmas.  Don’t get me wrong I love all the traditional colors as well but for something different this is one of my picks.  The designer paper used is from my stash, sorry I don’t know who makes it but I just love it. I used my copics to color it and added glitter to make it sparkle and in honor of Stef of course!

Today also marks my last assignment with Glitterbabes.   I have had so much fun working with Stef and the team and I thank you Stef for all your help and support.  I wish you and the team nothing but the best!

Thanks for stopping by today!

It’s Harvest Time!

Good morning everyone. Well Fall is here.  It just amazes me how our weather can go from 90 to mid 60’s in just a matter of days.  I hope the new temps stay around for a bit because it is perfect weather for Harvesting .     Well with today is my last post  as  as Guest Designer at DeeDee's .  This has been such a great experience and I am sad to go.    I have been having so much fun using DeeDee's images, I hope you take the time to play as well.  I want to wish DeeDee and her old/new DT the best of luck.  DeeDee thanks so much for this great opportunity!

This is week I wanted to share with you my project for the theme challenge this week which is Harvest time.  I used the August Freebie (if you spent $10) and  combined it with the basket from Bushels  of love.

You may find the bushels of love here.

I used Mr Scarecrow for my main image.You can purchase him here.  I think he is just ADORABLE!!! I used a free coloring book page as my background!

Now time for our great sponsor for the week!

 

I am very proud of this little project I did that I will be sending to my Daughter who is away at college.  Since she went away last year she has discovered a love for cooking, they all pitch in a few dollars and make a big group meal.  One day we were in the grocery store and found these great little  free recipe cards  so I decided to make her a little cook book that she can use.  I think it is perfect size with some great recipes!   I used the image from Stitchy Stamps called What's Cookin'  I think it is perfect for this project!

This week we are doing a free for all Challenge! We have a great sponsor this week so the DT is using some of the great images.  So be sure and check out the rest of the teams projects.

  Before I show you my card I want to  share a word about our sponsor:

Our images are hand drawn by Shelly.  We have a super talented family, so every now and then they jump in with an image.  Any image that is not drawn by Shelly will have the artists name in the product description. 

Digital stamps are perfect for card making, scrap booking, and crafting. The images are easy to re-size and perfect because they don't require any storage space and there is no messy ink and clean up.  If you have any questions about using digital stamps please be sure to send us an email.

Shelly's images are designed with the crafter in mind.  She has been a paper crafter for more than 15 years. 

You may get this great image and many many more here!

I hope you will join us!

Below I made a tool note pad, something I thought my hubby could use for his many projects he likes to work on.

I used Creamy Carmel for the base and PTI Terra Cotta as a mat.
