Red Carpet Studio Premiere

Happy Friday!

I am sharing with you a card I created for the Premiere of the new Red Carpet Studio Challenge Blog. 

Red Carpet Studio is a new, fun, and exciting blog to inspire and encourage all of us during our creative journeys.

 

I am on the Card Design Team for Red Carpet Studio.  I must say that the card and layout design teams are a highly talented group of ladies.  Their talents and level of creativity are wonderful. 

 

The challenges will last one week (Sunday - Saturday) and alternate between layouts and cards.  Our first challenge will run 9/2 to 9/8. Be sure to check Red Carpet Studio for all the details!  

There will be exclusive downloads/offers from craft sites, such as Scraptastical Kreations, Kadoodle Bug Designs, and Close to My Heart. 


Much scrappy love,


Tonya

Happy Friday!

It's been a crazy week here in our house.  Our youngest has been hands on most of the week.  I have had very little scrapping time.  But I wanted to share with you a piece from a new Scraptastical Kreations file.

 

Autumn Angels is the name of the file.  I just love it!   I'm not sure I care for her hair color though.  A bit more green hue than I wanted.  She was created on a rainy evening.  Light was definitely not on my side.  She'll probably end up on a card.  I'll be sure to post it when it's finished.

 

Hope my creation has inspired you somehow.

 

 

Much scrappy love,

Happy Sunday!

I have a beautiful card to share with you today.

As with many of my creations, this card was made with a challenge in mind.  This week at Cameo Creations the challenge is a sketch. 

The idea of the challenge is to use your Silhouette Cameo machine while creating.  I created the flourish under the box with my Cameo.  The shape I used is from Scraptastical Kreation's Flourish Frenzy file. 


Supplies:
Cardstock
SK File
Gems
Stickles
Angel Stamp
Letter Stamps
Ink
Fluid Chalk
Ribbon

Hope my creation inspires you somehow.

Happy Friday!

Today I'm sharing with you a card I made for The Craft's Meow August Sketch Challenge. 

Can you tell I'm ready for fall?  :-)

I used a set of Halloween stamps to create the 'ribbon,' circle background, and sentiment tag.  I aged the papers by using Tim Holtz distress inks in Pumice Stone and Walnut Stain.  To give a little pizzaz, I added orange stickles to some of the candy corn images.

Here is the sketch provided by TCM:

Supplies:

Hobby Lobby Seasonal paper pad
Tim Holtz Distress Inks
Blending tool
Halloween Stamps
Stickles
Color Me Crazy jeweled flower
Foam squares


Hope my creation has inspired you somehow.

Much scrappy love,

Made Especially For You Weekly Challenge

Happy Thursday!

This card was created for the Especially Made For You weekly challenge.  This week's challenge is to use a sketch. 

My first thought for the diagonal lines was twine.  But I have a new Martha Stewart stamp set and thought the border stamps would be perfect for this.  And they worked perfectly.  My lines are exactly perfect...but I still love it.  :-)  Simple, but beautiful.

Supplies:

Hobby Lobby cardstock

Tim Holtz Distress Inks

Martha Stewart Stamp set

Blending tool

Foam squares

Hope my creation has inspired you somehow.

Much scrappy love,

Tonya

Happy Monday!

I am part of the Made With Love (and paper) group.  This is my first month to create a project as part of the group.  The challenge this month was to incorporte opposing colors with circles and squares. 

I am not much of a 'think outside the box' gal.  I love the colors yellow and purple together.  I started there and then incorporated the circles in my paper and squares in shapes. 

Supplies:

Cardstock & patterned paper

fluid chalk

stamp - flower image

stamp ink

ribbon

Prismacolor Pencils

Whimsical Designs Stamp - sentiment

Hope my creation has inspired you somehow.
