Time Out Challenge 285

 

What a fun challenge is going on over at Time Out challenges!

https://timeoutchallenges.blogspot.com/2025/03/challenge-285-inspired-by-your-favorite.html

I am a big fan of Clint Eastwood, so I picked "A Fistful of Dollars" for my card. I didn't have a stamp for this but I drew around my own hand and just got creative!! It was fun!!  Not a whole lot of supplies for this but paper and pen. I loved this colorful and bright design paper scrap I found in my scrap pile. 

TGIF 517 Technique challenge

http://tgifchallenges.blogspot.com/2025/03/tgifc517-technique-challenge.html

I have been doing a lot of stenciling over the last year or so. My grandmother did lots of fabric stenciling back in the 1950's so I have been enjoying the trend in stenciling on paper that is now popular. I used two stencils from A Colorful Life and the final layer I did by flipping the "Fractured beam" stencil and using red ink. I used 3 colors of distress oxide ink (red, orange and yellows). The bold sentiment is from Gina K designs. 

 

Festive Friday 180 - Piano Day

I used black, white, musical theme sentiment and I don't know if musical symbols count as muscial notes or not. This is for the Festive Friday challenge celebrating Piano Day. I made a whole set of these to send as thank you notes for a family who was visiting our church and who lead the worship music that Sunday. You can check out the details for this challenge here:

The image is from a retired  2005 Stampin' Up stamp and the sentiment is from a retired 2007 Stampin' Up set. I've got quite an extensive collection of stamps and still find them to be classics in my collection. The flowers were fussy cut from design paper And the cross is die cut from gold chrome paper. I torn the edges around the sheet music of the stamped image. 

 

Paper Players 729

I love stamping onto design papers so I hope this will count as a CAS card. It is one stamp, and the only coloring I did was to add white gel pen to the little seed parts of the dandelion. I love this scripture and this  stamp from Unity features it well. The card base is a light green.

House Mouse - In the mood for food

This card was made for the HMFMC this week with the theme being food. I thought these little mice so clever in discovering a wonderful way to pop their corn!! I colored my image with copic markers. I used red and hot pink cardstock for the bottom layers of the card and a festive polka dot design paper for the front layer. I added a few sparkly sequins just for fun!

Tic Tac Toe #266

I did the right vertical line: ribbon, basket, and free for my card. The basket is a digital image from Impression Obsession, The bunny stamp is from Unity, as is the egg stencil I used for the eggs in the basket. Various distress oxide inks were used for the stenciling. The bunny image was colored with copic markers as was the basket. The white card base was embossed with a Spellbinder embossing folder.  The XOXO sticker on the basket is from Tim Holtz. 

 

Christmas Joy

I used the layout from this week's SCS sketch challenge #1053, I used the criteria for the ABC22J10 challenge using jewels and joy for J. And I am entering this also in the Krafty Chicks Christmas challenge #766.  I love making pieced backgrounds with left over Christmas papers and I cut this to match the pieces for the sketch challenge. I die cut Joy for the sentiment, added a silver star for the dot of the J and red jewels for embellishments. I mounted this on a 5 by 7 inch  kraft card base.
