The Last of Autumn

Okay fellow crafters,

I think this is one of my last Autumn cards because it sure feels like WINTER  here in Illinois!
I really do love the Autumn/Fall colors.  They are so rich and vibrant. 

I made this Tri-Shutter card as inspiration, for our NO RUBBER STAMP THEME at Outlawz challenges.  You were only allowed to use a rubber stamp for the sentiment if you needed.

MATERIALS USED:

Papers:  Bazzill card stock for base
              DCWV The Fall Stack DP
Sentiment:  Hot Off The Press acrylic stamp
Quotation:  Tiny Tales
Sticker letters:  by Marjolaine mini mono self sticking letters
Flowers:  by Iamroses
Digital image: by I Brake For Stamps -Autumn gathering
Edge Punch by EK Success
Copic markers
Apple basket and Hen from button stash

Thank you all for stopping by.  Now lets get ready for Thanksgiving!                 

Winter is in the Air!

Hello crafting folks,

Well winter is in the air.  We got our first snow yesterday here in Illinois.  It wasn't very much but I  think we're going to have a long cold winter this time.   So that means Illinoisans stock up on your craft supplies (like I have to tell you that.....LOL) and get ready for more crafting time!

I made this inspirational Winter scene card for the Monday Greeting card challenge at Outlawz challenges.

DISCO GIRL

Hello all of you lovely people!

 The day is beautiful and the temperature is conducive for Crafting, so let me show you one of my cards I have completed.  This image reminds of my Disco Days with the large afro's and the psychedelic lights and music.  It was a fun time in my life.  I hope when you see it....it will bring back fond memories.

The theme for 613 Avenue Create challenges this week was to create your own challenge using this chart:




I chose Paper shelters Disco Girl as my image for Column #1, several Die cuts for Column #2,  Lindy Stamp Gangs spray mist on the flower, and stickles for Column #3,  flowers and bling for Column #4, and from Column #5, I used a mesh fabric for my fibers.
