Ruby's Rainbow Challenge - For the One I Love

 

The challenge at Ruby's Rainbow Challenge Blog is to create a card or project for the "one you love." 

 

For my card, I created a winter themed card for the one I love!  I used the Doodle Pantry Snowbirdie digital stamp set.  I really enjoy creating round shaped cards so used my spellbinders round and scallop dies to create the card.  I embellished with some small adhesive pearls and then created a bow for the top of the card.

 

We hope you'll play along and create a card or project for the one you love!  You'll find the Ruby's Rainbow Challenge  HERE.

Daydream Designs - Just Being Grateful!

 

The Just Being Grateful stamp set from Daydream Designs is a fun set!  The image, Wagon of Pumpkins and the sentiment Think Pie really caught my eye, as did the Jumbo Bottle Cap that's been sitting on my craft desk for a while!  I immediately saw a pie tin with fluted edges and knew that's where I wanted to place the wagon with its pumpkins and sentiment!  I found 6 inch doilies at a food service supplier and picked up a package "just in case I found a use for them!"  The smaller doily is from Hobby Lobby's brand Paper Studio.  The flower is from Recollections and the leaves are from May Arts ribbon.  The background paper is from the Daydream Designs Garden Delights Paper pack.

 

Here's a better view of the "pie tin!"

 

 

 

You'll find the Just Being Grateful digital stamp set and the Garden Delights Paper pack at Diane's Daydream Designs online store.

JessicaLynnOriginal.com Movie Theater Popcorn Brentwood!

 

This Brentwood Owl is going to the movies!  I used a popcorn box to help showcase this adorable Brentwood Owl image.  I added some movie theater candies to the box along with tickets to embellish.  This treat box was created with my grandson in mind!

 

I colored the image using Copic markers and die cut using Spellbinders circle die.

 

The image is from JessicaLynnOriginal.com online store.

CWWC Black and White Challenge

 

The Crafting When We Can Challenge is to use Black and White on your creation.  I used black and white cardstock, black and white half flowers, black/white gingham checked ribbon, and I colored the image using slate and cool gray promarkers.  The image is called Sweet Pea and was provided by the challenge sponsor, Lacy Sunshine.

 

We hope you'll play along with the CWWC Black and White Challenge.  You can find the challenge HERE.
