The Colors of Fall

This is a Thanksgiving card that I created for two challenges. The first is the EstyInspired Challenge #61. The challenge was to find inspiration nature photography from Jared In Kansas. Looking through the gallery I was inspired by this image. I tried to use the colors of the dandelion in the bow.

I'm also entering this in "Just Us Girls" Week 6 Sketch Challenge. I flipped it around and played with it a bit!

 

Materials Used: Cardstock, Bo Bunny patterned paper, Martha Stewart Craft Glue, Martha Stewart tinsel glitter "fire opal", Martha Stewart Embossing Pad, Martha Stewart Embossing Ink, Hampton Arts Clear Stamps, velvet brown ribbon, Gold leaf from Micheal's

Hope you enjoy!

FIL's 60th B-day

I hope I'm not too late to enter this to the One Stop Craft Challenge #53. I took a lot of time on this LO, probably because we had such a busy week! One of my favorite things about this challenge was HOW to go about using the text...I wanted it to matter and be a key focal point of the design, but not overwhealming.

 

Fun Fact: The tissue paper I used is left over from the tissue I packaged his gift in! I thought it was too beautiful to throw away.


Materials Used: Basic Grey Cardstock, Velvet Ribbon, Tissue Paper, Martha Stewarts Glitter Glue, multi-color beads (I was so excited to use them, I threw away the packaging..whoops) American Crafts Thickers in "Sprinkles", Staz On Ink "jet black", Making Memories stamps, Photoshoped definations and journal line.

My current computer background

I was having fun using digital scrapbooking freebies and created this LO for my computer background.

From Fall 2009

Since I don't yet have a sewing machine (sad, I know) this is the most realistic stitching I can do! lol

Freebies from Feistuff Crazy Beautiful

PS: Having a difficult time using Picasa to upload straight to blogger. No idea what's going on there!
