Time for a new Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!  I used the sketch today for a pretty Christmas card:


And here's our sketch:


As was the case in yesterday's card, one of the Christmas cards we made at my stamp camp used the papers from A Stitched Season, which has rows of fun little "quilt" designs.  I trimmed down one panel of three quilts to create my card! I mounted it on a Basic Beige card base, added a fun little rickrack trim panel of Peaceful Pine and Real Red, then a sentiment from the retired Brightest Glow:


And here is the card we made at the stamp camp:


Similar, just a wee bit different layout!  I hope you can play with our fun sketch this week...obviously, you don't have to use pumpkins on your card!  Share it with us at Atlantic Hearts! We can't wait to see what you create!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

The 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge this month is to create a mini scene with shaped dies:


I had a Christmas card stamp camp on Saturday and we just happened to make a card that fit the challenge!  Here we go:


We diecut a nativity scene from Impression Obsession using Secret Sea cardstock and placed it on a woodgrain Stitched Triangle diecut, adding the little glimmer star at the point:


The background is embossed with a Tim Holtz Brick embossing folder, and the inside sentiment is from an older wooden set called Star Studded Season:


I love the blues together on this card!  And I have another for my holiday stash!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Happy Sunday! It's time for a new Paper Players challenge, and Christy has a lovely sketch for us! I couldn't wait to use one of SU's new upcoming sets called Time to Unwind! I belong to a craft group at my church and we have LOTS of knitters and crocheters!  So I was happy to get this set.  Here we go:


And here is Christy's sketch:


Love it! I just happened to have this scrap of printed paper on my desk that fell out of my plethora of other scraps of printed paper, and it fit perfect for the sketch!


I stamped the knitted image in Real Red, then did some masking and stamped the yarn ball in Pool Party.  The scissors were stamped on top.  I added a Basic Black diecut border and a Poppy Whittles sentiment. A little black & white baker's twine bow finished it off.  I left the inside blank so I can use it for most any occasion!

I will be saving this sketch for future use for sure, and I hope you'll play along with us this week!  Share your creation over at the Paper Players blog so we can all see it!  

So this happened last week:


Cassidy was inducted into the National Honor Society! We are so proud of her!


This picture just makes me tear up!

Hope you have a nice weekend planned!  It's time for the latest As You See It challenge, and our theme is "Feathers"!  I pulled out an old Papertrey stamp for my card today:

And here's our prompt:


I will admit that this didn't come out quite the way I had planned, but what can I say! I stamped the image in Lost Lagoon on some pretty grungy-look papers, left the stamp in my stamp positioner and stamped it again in Versamark, then heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.  It was easy to fill in the spaces with some matching Copics. I chose lighter colors as I was afraid the darker ones would be too harsh:


The sentiment is a really old SU one called Friend to Friend; I also added a little linen "bow" at the top of the feather!  A get well sentiment from Technique Tuesday went on the inside, and I added a little Cloud Cover feather on top!  The base is Cloud Cover as well:

I hope you'll play along with our challenge this week....you'd be surprised how many ways you can use a feather (gobble gobble)!!!  Share it with us at As You See It!  And thanks so much for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

And here's the sketch I used:
I would say that this is a wee bit out of my norm for Halloween cards; I usually go for cute and spooky and fun, but these papers were intriguing!  This one actually had a bit of bronze glimmer (which unfortunately got covered up by the sentiment!) so I diecut a bronze moon and some bronze stars to accent the little witches' skirts and hats!  


I added a punched bat and a banner with a sentiment from Six Sayings.  I stamped the sentiment on Basic White cardstock, then added some speckles of black and copper and a little bit of Pecan Pie splooshed on to mimic the background paper.  It all went on a Crumb Cake card base.  The inside features a cute little Halloween sentiment:

I have a sweet Christmas card today that I hope will bring a smile to the recipient's face:


I used the sketch from Sunday Stamps:


and some stamps from Unity's Holly Jolly Holiday' sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp's Tiny Words Christmas. I just love the expression on that bear's face:


I used the color palette from Clean & Simple Colours & Sketches (Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow and Golden Glow), but I am thinking it's not quite CAS enough!  I used the retired Buffalo Check for the background and added another Unity sentiment on the inside:

And here's the sketch for this week:


These papers from Unity are called Quiet Christmas Morning, and in hindsight, I wish I had used Basic Beige instead of Very Vanilla for the banners and sentiment; I think they would have matched the papers better! BUT it is what it is, and since the papers did most of the work, it went together pretty quickly.  I backed my Very Vanilla panel with a dimensional sheet before diecutting it, so the whole sentiment from Peaceful Seasons is popped up.  The "merry" is from Greetings of the Season, stamped in Soft Succulent ink:


My star banner was a freebie from Scrapbook.com, and to be they look a little awkward because they're not succumbing to gravity and are hanging sideways!!!  But again, it is what it is! My final addition was a wee little linen thread bow:


My inside sentiment is also from Peaceful Wishes:


Adding this one to my stash! I hope you'll see some potential for a card in our sketch this week, and I hope you'll share it with us at Atlantic Hearts sketch challenge!  Thanks for visiting, and may your day be blessed!

Hope you had a good weekend!  Fall was definitely in the air!  

I have a real simple card today, and wait until you see how I was inspired!  Here we go:

We went out for dinner Friday night and as I was leaving, I saw this adorable pillow on the bench by the door:


(Now I would have cut off that icky tag sticking out, but that's just me, LOL!)  I thought it was adorable, so I pulled out a couple of dies, some retired Tangelo Twist and Very Vanilla cardstocks and went to work!  The thankful die is from Papertrey; the pumpkin is from Impression Obsession, and the tendril and leaf are from SU's Patterned Pumpkins.  I also embossed the background with Waffle Flower's Sweet Plaid Texture die to mimic the pattern on the background of the pillow:


Some Honeybee Blessings of Fall sentiments went on the inside:



The Addicted to CAS challenge this week is "pumpkin"; they're pretty strict on their guidelines, so I am not sure it will cut the mustard, but I did have fun recreating the pillow into a card!

And here's her prompt:


This was very quick to make, since I already had this Brushed Copper circle and leaf diecut sitting on my desk (probably since last year!!!) so I simply added some plaid DSP behind it and a wee little baker's twine bow:


And I confess that I totally CASEd the sentiment idea on the front from Joanne's cute card HERE!  I totally forgot that I had the Cheer All Year set myself--that's what happens when you have so many stamp sets--so I used just the "autumn" portion of the sentiment from that set and added a "happy" from a Paper Sweeties set!  The inside features a couple of sentiments and some Paper Pumpkin leaves:



The Inkspirational challenge this week is CAS with the option of plaid, so I am entering it there as well!



I have lots of fall stamp sets, and I am betting you do too!  Show us your Clean-And-Simple design---remember, keep your stamps and embellishments to a minimum!  Share it with us at the Paper Players!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Yay, I get to stamp with my ladies at the local retirement community today; that's always fun!  First, I'll show you my CAS Halloween card created for the Little Red Wagon challenge!  Here we go:


Their challenge is to use a frame, and I remembered that I had this twiggy frame from Poppy Whittles that had barely ever been used!  I diecut it in Basic Black and added some Whittle punkins and a simple sentiment:


Do you like their "glowing" mouths?! LOL!  I used an older CTMH sentiment for the inside:


Since I had my Whittle dies out, I created a Christmas one, although I am not as happy with this one--I added an outer frame from Penny Black, and wish I had left it plain:


This one uses the same twiggy frame in Pecan Pie, a pair of trees in Pretty Peacock, a stitched snowbank and some wee little glimmery stars:


A couple of pretty little sentiments from past Paper Pumpkin sets were stamped in Real Red:

Ick, I have a dentist appointment today, so I'll make this quick! I needed another birthday card for a young man and it needed to be pretty simple because he is just not a fussy guy!  I pulled out some masculine papers and came up with this:

He's not a carpenter, but he is a handyman, so hopefully he'll appreciate the woodgrain and that wee little saw, LOL!


Sentiment is from Simply Said; the saw die is an oldie from My Favorite Things.  I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

And since the Krafty Chicks have a CAS challenge this week, I am entering it there as well!

And here's the sketch:

This image is from an older SU set called Harvest Home.  I stamped it in Versafine Black on watercolor paper, then stamped just the crock on Smoky Slate cardstock with Misty Moonlight ink.  After watercoloring the Indian corn, I did some tricky fussy-cutting of the crock and glued it over the original image:


I used the colors from the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge of Timid Tiger, Cajun Craze & Misty Moonlight:



I hope using neutrals is okay!  I added a few more touches; I embossed the image with the Subtle embossing folder, and embossed a Basic Beige mat with the Hive embossing folder.  The Misty Moonlight bat was diecut with the new Tile Garden dies, then separated and mounted on another Basic Beige mat.  I added some candy dots to fill in the "gap"!  Finally, my sentiment came from the retired Banner Year!  I thought this was an unusal color combo, but I like it!

Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Time for another Atlantic Hearts Sketch to play with! I chose to go Halloween, because I need to amp up my supply!  Here we go:


This was a really fun sketch to use! At first I was a little intimidated by all the layers, but I pulled out a 6x6 Halloween pad from Echo Park called Spooky and found lots of little patterns and scrapbook elements that were easy to pull together for my card!


To extend the 2x2" squares, I mounted them on a piece of Basic Gray that was die cut with the Iconic Images dies and stamped with a swirly star stamp from CTMH.  Then I fussy cut a couple more images and layered them behind, then added some orange sequins:


Little Delights provided the sentiment and some spooky bats on the inside!


If you like layers, you'll love this sketch! Come show us your layers at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week!  Thanks for visiting! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

And since it's that time of the year, I needed to get it inky:


I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

along with some pretty fall prints and gingham (although it's hard to see).  And here's the inside:


I do like pumpkin spice things, as long as they're not TOO sweet--usually pumpkin spice coffee is too cloying for me.  I would eat the whipped cream and cinnamon off the top though--for sure!


All the images are from More Than Autumn; the cup was watercolored with Soft Sea Foam on Basic White cardstock; the printed paper is from Craft Consortium's Little Fawn & Friends, and I don't have a label for the gingham.  The "cinnamon" is from Itty Bitty Backgrounds and everything was mounted on a layer embossed with Honey Bee's Burlap embossing folder.  This will make a fun card in which to enclose a coffee gift card!! 

We went to a local nursing home last week to visit a church friend and we came upon these little guys who were visiting the staff and residents:




They were quite comfy in their little pounches! I can't remember how old the larger one was, but the wee one was six months old! SO soft and adorable.  Dana actually had these folks visit at her nursing home a couple of years ago and she wanted to bring one home!  I am sure Eden (and Wayne) would have put the nix on that! 

Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Happy Sunday, all!  Hope you're having a great weekend!  Jan is our Paper Players hostess with a fun color challenge this week!  Can you figure out what colors she chose?



So here we go:


I loved this challenge because I haven't used either Azure Afternoon or Granny Apple Green in a long time!  They worked perfectly with this lakeside cabin image I had!!  I stamped it in Stazon Black on a piece of watercolor paper, colored it with reinkers, then diecut it with the Stitched Rectangle die.  I mounted it on a piece of woodgrain paper from Echo Park.  Sentiment was from Simply Said, and I did add a couple of ancient Candy Dots for a wee bit of interest.  This will be going to Dana's half-brother, who is an avid outdoorsman, so he won't care for a fussy card, LOL!


I hope you'll play along with these lovely colors--there are lots of ways these could be used! Check out the DT samples at the Paper Players to get some inspiration, then share yours with us too!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Time for a new As You See It challenge and it's Recipe time!  Here's my take on our "recipe" for this week:


And here's our prompt:


As you can see, I chose a non-traditional color theme for my pumpkin-y card!  I just love this gingham from Everyday Happiness, so I decided to use an openwork pumpkin from the retired Detailed Pumpkins dies, cutting it from Lost Lagoon cardstock and adhering it to a white background.  That looked a little stark, so I added a Pecan Pie stem and I did a light color wash in the openings of the pumpkin:


I added a diecut "Autumn" in Mossy Meadow, along with some matching leaves, and a sentiment from a sentiment set.  It is stamped in Mossy Meadow too but looks black here!! The final addition was some smoky blue sequins from my stash!  Everything went on a Crumb Cake base.

This recipe has all things that I love and I hope you will love them too! Can't wait to see your card in our As You See It gallery too!

Hope you're having a good week so far!  The weather has been fabulous here in PA....enjoying these fall days immensely!  But I am shifting from fall cards to Christmas today!  Here we go:


I am using the sketch from 52 Christmas Card Throwdown, flipping the sketch so my bunny wasn't looking off the edge of the card!


I am going through my older stamps, and this little bunny is from a Artistic Outpost set called Midwinter,  I stamped him in Smoky Slate, diecut him with a circle die, then created a couple of masks to create a snowy field and sky:


I added a mini sentiment from Simon Says Stamp and a glimmer snowflake, then layered it all on a Cloud Cover mat embossed with a Snowflake Swirls folder.  I also added a mat of Smoky Slate.  A sentiment from W+9 went on the inside:


I know I need to make some Halloween cards, but it was nice to make a calm, soothing Christmas card today!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

And here's their prompt:


I had some digital papers printed out, so I mounted them on a Baked Brown Sugar card base, added a Very Vanilla Tailor Made Tag and some watercolored leaves:


The sentiment is actually from a Close to My Heart Christmas set called Wonderland (2022 approx), and the speckles are from Itty Bitty Backgrounds (2001?). I spritzed some ink in fall colors on a piece of wet watercolor paper, mooshed it around, dried it, then diecut some HoneyBee leaves to add around my tag.  The inside sentiment is from Sunny Sentiments (2022):


It is definitely beginning to feel like fall around here, and the leaves are beginning to turn!  But I heard temps back in the 80s next week, so I'm not getting out my winter clothes just yet!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

I have a patriotic card for you today, and it is for the current sketch at the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge!  Here we go:


And here's our sketch:


Our church recently hosted a 250th celebration put on by our township's Historical Committee.  Unfortunately, it rained, plus there were many other activities going on that day, so the attendance was sparse.  But the Committee did a wonderful job; we had the Brandywine Harps do a concert of patriotic songs; Charlie Zahm and friend supplied songs of the era and lots of historical tidbits about the first 250 years of our country, and we heard from another historian about several different Revolutionary War veterans buried in our cemetery!  (BTW, Charlie plays all over the country, so if you ever get a chance to see and hear him, you won't be disappointed!  He looks good in a kilt, too!)  So this is to be a thank-you card to the committee for doing such a great job!

I started my card by cutting some strips from Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy and Basic Beige with a Taylored Expression die, then simply adhering them to a piece of scrap paper, then to a Basic Beige card.  I stamped this little flag from the retired Star-Spangled Banner in both the Cherry and Navy colors, did a bit of fussy-cutting, then added a wee tiny glimmery star and plopped it on top:


At first, I was a bit intimidated by the sketch, but being able to diecut four strips at a time with the die made everything go quickly!  I hope you won't be intimidated by it, and that you'll play along with us at Atlantic Hearts!  Thanks for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Hope you're having a good weekend! Ann is our Paper Players hostess with a fabulous theme challenge this week! 


Can you guess what it is?  Here we go:


I have had this landscape silhouette stamp set for a long while and I don't think I've ever used it!  It's from what used to be Sweet & Sassy stamps;  here's the whole card:


I began by blending colors of the sunset on a piece of Basic White, then added the verse and the deer image in Versafine Black ink. I am still "practicing" with blending, LOL!  I experimented on scrap paper with a couple of colors for the mountain range and believe it or not, ended up with Berry Burst! Who knew that would work?! I then mounted it on a Basic Black mat and added it to a Cajun Craze card base.  For a wee bit of interest, I diecut some stars, then added them around the verse.

I think Ann has chosen a lovely theme and I hope you'll play along with us.  Check out the fabulous ideas the rest of the Design Team came up with at the Paper Players blog!

And happy October!  After a few false starts, I finally stamped a card yesterday that I was happy with! I really didn't have anything special in mind when I started it but then I realized I needed a sympathy card, so sympathy it was:


I've really enjoyed revisiting some of my older stamps; this one, Thoroughly Thankful, is from way back in 2006!!! I stamped the image in Stazon on watercolor paper, colored it in with reinkers and an aquapainter, then diecut it and mounted on a Basic Beige panel embossed with the Gathering Leaves embossing folder:


A sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes was added, and I colored a gold brad with a Cajun Craze blend to make it look more coppery!  Here's the simple inside with a sentiment from Hero Arts:


I've got three challenges I want to enter this in:  Hand Stamped Sentiments' mood board; Freshly Made Sketches' sketch, and the Little Red Wagon challenge of Fall Colors:




I took my inspiration from all the colors and fall images on the mood board! So pretty for the season!
And even though I don't have a mouse on my card, here's a chipmunk from Dana:


You can just barely see him peeking out of the rainspout! Thanks so much for visiting today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

Time for a new Atlantic Hearts sketch; it's a long, skinny one:


Yikes! I wasn't quite sure what to do, so I just took the easy way and scored some 1" squares on a panel of Basic Beige and added some fall pumpkins!!  Here we go:


Since the sketch was pretty wide open, I turned it on its side to accomodate my punkins, which were stamped in Versafine Black and colored with various reinkers.  Before mounting them, I stamped some scratchy lines from the Sanded background stamp in Crumb Cake, just to give it a wee bit of interest.  Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black mats were added, then a sentiment with a wee bit of gingham:


And I couldn't resist adding one of my favorite Halloween sentiments on the inside:


I may give this sketch another whirl with a different technique that I've been seeing around lately; I just was too lazy to give it a go this time, LOL!  I hope you'll be inspired and less lazy than I was and give this fun sketch a try!  Share your creation with us at Atlantic Hearts so we can all see it!

Here are a couple pix of my great-nephew Jameson and great-niece Maven at a recent bike event; I have a feeling she herself may be entering one of those races!


No worries....her bike is a Fred Flintstone style---no motor! And her outfit is certainly one for the books!


Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

I needed several masculine birthday cards this month, and when I saw the sketch at Clean And Simple Colours and Sketches, I knew what I wanted to do!  Here it is:


I got a great paper pad a few months ago that has a great vintage feel to it, so I pulled out some masculine patterns and came up with this uber-simple card:


The paper is called The Collector, and it's from the Craft Consortium.  After diecutting the circles, I sponged the edges, added a fussy-cut sentiment from Label Me Bold, stamped in Basic Gray, and adhered everything to a Very Vanilla card base.  It IS rather CAS but I don't think the guys will care!  I do love Mr Lincoln down there though!! 


Since I needed four, I added a little extra oomph to one of the others, using Crumb Cake cardstock and adding a Perennial Postage diecut mat on the card:


Again the stamps are so interesting! Love that little zebra!


Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Hope you had a good weekend, weathered the storm if you're on the east coast! We just got rain and wind, nothing drastic! Thanks to all of those who asked about my cataract surgery; it went well, now I just need to adjust to wearing glasses for all my close-up work!  Change is challenging sometimes, but it is amazing what modern medicine has achieved to help our vision!!!

I am squeaking in a little Halloween card for the FMS sketch this week:


My first thought was a Christmas tree, but I have been going through my old fall and Halloween sets and thought I could make a fun one with this spooky cat sitting atop his jack-o-lantern:


I made this card at 11:30 last night, so it may be less-than-perfect, LOL!  I stamped my cat on a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and fussy-cut him out, then popped him up on a Stitched Triangle of polka-dotted paper from Unity. I added a spooky background panel and some webby ribbon for the horizontal element and a tag embellished with some Halloween brads that I have had FOREVER!


It all went on a Smoky Slate card base, and since I made it so late, I've not put a sentiment on the inside yet! I'll remedy that today!  Thanks so much for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

It's the last Sunday in September...can you believe it?  Jaydee has a great sketch for us at the Paper Players: 


I pulled out a pattern from Sunflower Fields that I hadn't used yet...the monochromatic pattern is very soothing!  So here we go:


I used another pattern for the back panel and mounted it all on a Crumb Cake card base.  I used another plaid piece for my circular element and a sentiment from Box of Joy, stamped on a Very Vanilla tag:


It was anchored with a wee bit of Cajun Craze Linen Thread, and I added a Cajun Craze panel behind the tag.  Simple and so pretty!

I hope you'll find a way to use our sketch this week at the Players!  Check out what the DT created for some more inspiration!  Thanks so much for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
