Blessed!

Happy Tuesday!

Hi. The temperature has really been dropping here in Ohio. I had been turning on the fireplace in the evening to chase away the chill. But, the last couple days have been so nippy we finally had to start up the furnace. At least the sun has been shining and all the trees look gorgeous. It's such a beautiful time of year. So, continuing on with the Fall theme: Here is my card for this week's My Favorite Things sketch challenge # 92.  I used two stamp sets on this card:  SunFlower Girl PI and Primitive Pumpkins.

 Most of the DP is Harvest Lane by Simple Stories. I colored her with Copics and did some paper piecing for her dress and then I added her arms and flower on top.


For the pumpkins I stamped them with More Mustard(SU) and Really Rust(SU) Classic Ink on Very Vanilla CS (SU) and then added Kraft CS for the stem and Vintage Photo distress ink (Ranger) around the edges. And I little linen thread to top it off. 

Here's the sketch:

Wish Big!

Happy Monday!
I worked night shift and only slept for 3 hours today, so, I am a little sleep deprived. *yawn*
I made this card for the TCP Tuesday Challenge. This week it is a sketch.
I used the adorable A Girl and her Cake.
I love this little bunny, she is so cute and so much fun to color.
I colored her with Copic Markers and added Crystal lacquer and glitter to the frosting. Looks yummy! All the DP is Hootenanny by MME.

Snow Much Fun!

Happy Monday!
(Is that possible?)

This is my card for the My Favorite Things Guest Designer contest for October.
I used a new stamp that I haven't inked up before: Heart Warmer Boy (Pure Innocence Stamp).
He's just darling in his little snow suit and he has really sweet sentiments.


 I used the Rounded Border Stax to make my shaker box. You can't see it in the photo but the back of the box has snowflake vellum from SU (very old from my stash). I put microbeads in to look like snow. My daughter says it looks like ice.... 
The sign is made with the Mini Pennant and Fishtail Banner Die-namics.
I was really happy with how cute this all turned out.



 

I colored him with Copic Markers and paper pieced his snow suit and hat.
