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,

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

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

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.

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.
