And Snow it Goes with Hearts

We are feeling the blues this week at the F4ALL Challenge.  We can make mostly blue cards, make a music card, or make an encouragement card to shoo the blues away!  I made a mostly blue card with the And Snow It Goes stamp set but I think with those sweet little hearts it could do double duty and shoo the blues away too!  I stamped snowflakes to make a background, then stamped the image and sentiment on the Tag with Reinforcements.  There is only one of these tags left in the store but check out the TAG aisle, HERE because there are still awesome tags on the shelves!      


We would love for you to join us at SCS for the F4ALL Challenge! It's free to play!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Fall Watercolor

Hello!  It's Watercolor Wednesday at SCS and Brenda has chosen a striking tutorial for us to follow. I diverged from the path when I saw this week's FB Art Nudge Challenge. I changed the oval setting to a circle and changed the winter scene in the tutorial to a fall scene. I thoroughly enjoyed the tutorial. Perhaps at a later date, I can paint four seasons!  

The Watercolor Wednesday Challenge and the FB Art Nudge Challenges are free  and we would love to see your beautiful work at both challenges!  

The sentiment is from a pretty set called Fall Sentiments. Everything is 50% off at IO!

Bright Colors - November IO Color Challenge

Hello! Jeanne has chosen a beautiful wildflower picture to inspire our Color Challenge this month. I had a lot of fun with the gorgeous Butterfly Garden stamp set. There is a solid butterfly, and a lined butterfly, so adding color to the butterflies is a snap! I love the sentiments in this set, they are perfect for friendship cards!


 I veered away from nature but showcased the bright pink of the flower and the green of the stems from the photo inspiration for my next card!  I couldn't help sharing this yummy cookie card! I have had a blast, making cookie cards with the many variations IO produced. The Sugar Cookie is the last in the line and it's the only one left in the store. The Sprinkles and Confetti Stamp Set coordinates beautifully with the cookie!

Winter Charms & More - Christmas Card Hop Day 2

Hello and welcome to the second day of the IO Christmas Hop!  Today I am sharing two very different card styles.  The first one is mostly die cuts.  Unfortunately, these cute CHARMS are almost sold out with only 6 in stock.  I have loved using them as embellishments on my cards. The JOY sentiment is from the Fall Sentiments set.  The bright Christmas paper is from the Christmas Doodles paper pack and it's a steal with the discount!  


The next card features the Cup of Holly Jolly stamp set. In this set, you'll find a variety of images that can be added to the top of the cup or stamped onto the cup itself.  I made a gift cup set with a stuffed Santa in the cup and a ribbon around the cup!

Peace Tag

Hello, for this week's F4All Challenge, we are using embossing folders. I chose a lovely folder that my friend Janeen gave me.  I love incorporating tags as design elements, so I went with the Stitched Tag #6 by Impression Obsession.  Impression Obsession currently has some great deals available!  The site is offering a 50% off closing sale!

I also used the beautiful Christmas Words with Shadow Die from Pajama Crafter Stamps!
