Journey Through A Book

Happy Thursday morning!!!

Our snow is gone and yesterday it rained most of the day.

Chilly but still a not too bad day for a walk with my hubby

in the great outdoors. It was fun to see a few trees

that the beavers had chewed down. Being in nature

sure has a way of bringing a calm and peace to me.

Today, we have an easy peasy challenge for you over at 

Creative Knockouts.

Our challenge for this week is 

Challenge #265 - Anything Goes

our wonderful sponsor is

Star Stampz

and the wonderful image that I got to highlight

is called

Journey Through A Book

Prize: 3 Images

So, I took some time to color up this very cute

image and well it had books, so I needed to go finish

this fun book that my friend lent to me.

Then it was time to come back and create my card.

For some reason, it just seems like this card should be

a little more clean and simple.

I used a stamp for the sentiment that inspires me

about life but also reading, which have I mentioned. I LOVE!!!

A stack of books like this one awaits me

to finish reading.

I would love to enter my card into the following challenges:

Crafty Creations Challenges - Challenge #375 - Anything Goes

Creative Moments - #153 - Anything Goes with twist Fall Colors

Please come and join us at Creative Knockouts.

My fellow DT's have amazing creations for you

and will completely inspire you.

Thank you so much for joining me

and for taking the time to comment.

Have a blessed day!

One Cool Ghoul!

 Good, good morning, from snowy small town Millet, Alberta.

It has been a fairly snowy September for us already,

which is unusual. The roads were extremely bad

in the wee hours of Saturday morning. Our daughters volleyball bus

was on a way to a tournament in Red Deer and it was turned around 30 minutes after

they left home. As we came back home it ALMOST

made me want to turn on the Christmas movies.

The image and sentiment above are from

The Project Bin

Cool Ghoul set.

Recipe:

Stamp set: Cool Ghoul (The Project Bin)

Pattern Paper: Echo Park

Paper: Stampin' Up (not sure exactly colors, came from my scrap bin)

Accessories: web, punch, embossing folder and sequin (Stampin' Up)

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Crafter's Castle - Challenge #9 Anything Goes with optional twist Fall/Halloween

Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog - Dies/punches (punch is the scallopy one)

CAS-ual Fridays - The Challenge - CFC #208 - Use Sequins

Get Your Spook On!

 Good morning! It sure was a chilly, blustery, snowing/raining

5 days here in Alberta. I believe most parts got to see some fluffy

white stuff.

My heart goes out to everyone who has been and continues

to be affected by Hurricane Florence.

When I think of Halloween, it always seems

to be chilly; so it was perfect time

to break out this new Halloween set from

The Project Bin called Cool Ghoul.

 The card above is a Gate Fold Card.

The panels are not the same size,

I wanted to see what it would look like if 

you made it a little off center, with the different size panels.

It turned out pretty good. Although,

their are some people I know who would have troubles

because of the panel size difference.

Isn't this stamp set simply fun! The sentiments are awesome and

the ghost stamps/dies are super fun to use too.

I believe this will be my grandsons Halloween card this year.

The paper was from a pile that has well in honesty

been hoarded for a few years now. Guess

it was waiting for me to get this stamp set.

The web is cut in half and is from Stampin' Up and

so is the brick embossing folder.

The inside has a stampin' up punch to make it a little more fancy

and to complete the whole look of the card.

Hope on over to The Project Bin Blog for more

inspiration each day!

Thank you so much for all comments

and to everyone who has been

able to share in my creations.

Have a blessed week,

Hugs

Totally sloth-some!

Hello and happy Thursday morning!

Well yesterday was blustery, cold and rainy

I had to turn the furnace on...yuck.

Today, they are calling for the 4 letter word *snow*

an early September storm.

We know it won't stay long but gosh

I was just starting to enjoy the fall colors.

We have a brand new challenge up and going

today over at Creative Knockouts

Challenge #263 - Charmed Life (use a charm)

Our amazing sponsors this week are from Imagine that digistamp

They let me use this really cute image called Lazy Sloth

The sentiments are so fun with this cute image.

Thank you so much for sponsoring us this week.

My card above was colored using my Copic Markers

Stampin' Up paper was used as well as Gina Marie Designs

x-stitch dies.

Accessories are my pearls, charm and brad.

My layout is pretty clean and simple.

Come join us this week

we would love to see your charms

over at Creative Knockouts.

Looking for more inspiration

my fellow DT's have it for you in spades.

Thank you so much for stopping by

Eat Pie & Give Thanks

Happy Monday!

The brand new stamp set being highlighted today is,

Eat Pie

from The Project Bin

Last week the kids brought me home

some happy mail and it was this stamp set.

So many ideas have been flowing with this set.

The sentiments are amazing and so are the fonts.

I love pie (pumpkin, blueberry, cherry, Lemon meringue, apple pie)

it just made sense for me to start with giving thanks and of

course eating out pie. Sadly, there was no pie to eat while

getting crafty.

The images were colored with my Copic Markers

The sentiment/images were stamped with Memento Ink

Gina Marie Designs double stitched oval die was used

(although with my brown you can't really see it).

Vanilla and Early Espresso papers are from Stampin' Up

The pattern paper is unknown.

The punch is from Stampin' Up and the enamel dots are YNS.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Crafter's Castle - Challenge #9 - Anything Goes - Fall\Halloween

Colour Crazy Craft Challenge - Week 36 - Anything Goes

Creative Fingers Challenge Blog - Challenge #152 - Anything Goes

Here is to hoping that we are a little more settled with

our new back to school routines. We were all just a little

tired this past week/weekend.

Thank you so much for joining me.

Have a very blessed week.

I Remembered Your Birthday Without Looking on Facebook!

Happy Labor Day Monday!!!

It has been a really great long weekend. 

Still tough to believe it is September 3.

Our daughter starts

grade 11 tomorrow and it is hard to believe,

just how fast time is flying. 

It will be good to be back into a routine

for all of us. School has a way of doing that.

Today, I want to share my DT card

for The Project Bin.

I used two stamp sets

Born Yesterday and Fun is Good

It is really awesome using these

stamps that are so versatile with other ones.

Mixing and matching are so much fun.

This card was made as a surprise for my mom

from one of her friends. It was so much fun to play a little

trick on her, although she figured it out...Hee Hee.

Born Yesterday (left)       and      Fun is Good (right)

      

This card is called a Double Dutch Fold Card

as it was a surprise,

it was fun to try a new fold. I will be making more of these.

You can lift the top flap and there is space for you to write.

The paper is from Little Darlings and SU

and the oval punches are from Stampin' Up.

Dazzling Diamonds glitter was used on the cupcake and cake.

What girl doesn't need a little glitter on her birthday!

Still working on taking pictures of my cards

with my phone. Sorry these are a little blurry.

Hoping this last day of your long weekend is 

a good one and that you are able to

enjoy some crafting time.

Be sure to hop on over to The Project Bin Blog for more inspiration this week.

Please join me again next Monday

for another new creation for The Project Bin.
