Hello to you!!
I hope your weekend is off to a good start!!
I have finally completed my entry for
this months Just Magnolia Too challenge,
which was based off of a wonderful
3-D Tutorial from the amazing Debby,
whose got a wonderful gift for 3-D creations,
you must go take a look!!
So what's next?
To see if I can match up some other challenges
to go along with the project.
Well, why not the Delicious Divas Colour Challenge?
To be honest, I had a VERY hard time with it...
Now that it's done, I am pleased overall,
but wow, not really my range of colours I guess.
Had to find a savvy sketch to play with,
and here's where the
Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge
came to save the day.
They are so much fun to play with,
such great inspiration and their team
leaves the most thoughtful, sincere comments,
I want to come back week after week,
let's hope that happens!!
As I was accessorizing my card,
lurking around for specific challenges,
I saw that Just Magnolia
is hosting a Ribbons and Bows challenge,
not hard for me, as I love to layer on the ribbons,
so I got to play along over there as well!!
I've used a Magnolia stamp, Tilda with Puppy,
coloured with watercolour pencils,
distressed in Tattered Rose,
layered and layered and layered
my image in various spots
with foam dots and glue,
her shoes are Basic Grey,
the background paper is K & Company,
the floral runner paper is Making Memories,
flowers are Prima, and miscellaneous,
I've glimmer misted them,
the rest is stash stuff,
and here are the challenges I used.... again....

Hello to you!!
I have had an extra day off this week,
so guess what that means??
Well, not easy crafting,
if that's what you thought I'd say,
but I managed to weasel some time in,
toddler tantrums and all.
Maybe that's why all my projects take a good
4 hours or more to complete,
"Put it down!! Don't touch that!!
Get back here with my tape!!"
I have used Lauren's template
that Stampavie let us use during their last challenge,
the stamp is from Stampavie-Cuddling,
coloured with watercolour pencils,
snowflakes are Inkadinkado and stamped
with Ranger Distress Weathered Wood ink,
papers are My Minds Eye,
used my trusty Fiskars colonial edgers,
the rest is stuff from my stash.
I've had another run in with the
right elements falling into place.
This adorable bag, this lovely stamp,
the perfect package for some delicious cocoa!!
Will be making these for the Holiday season.
I am going to buy the delectable Land O Lakes cocoa
in bulk instead of single packets though ;)
Save some money, I likes to save money
(so I can then buy more stamps with it, lol!!)
Combining challenges can be habit-forming...
Here's where I will be entering my creation:
CaardvarksWinter Wonderland
DutchDare Card ChallengeChristmas In August
Simon Says ChallengeAnything but a card
Creative Inspirations Gift!!(Bag, boxes, etc.)
Stamp Something Charmed Somethings
Lily of the Valley Challenge So Charming
Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge A sketch by Sue
There are so many AMAZING samples
from each of these DT's,
I hope that you can take a look!!
I am wondering how I can get a hold of some
Lily of the Valley stamps here in the states,
I think I will be emailing them to
ask about international shipping,
as they have certainly tempted my pallette!!
*****************
And for those of you who are still with me,
I have a little sneaky peaky for you!!
Come see me tomorrow,
as I have something fun to share with you all!!
Take Care and enjoy the rest of your week!!
I appreciate your time and love to read your feedback,
so please feel welcome to leave me your thoughts.
Stephanne
