I really LOVE this image!  It's SUPER cute and can be used for pretty much any occasion.  I used the current sketch at Mojo Monday for this card

Happy Father's Day with Timeless Twine

Hi, everyone!  This month we're featuring the Firecracker twine on the Timeless Twine blog, and I thought I'd share a Father's Day card I made.

I got the idea for this card from one I saw on Pinterest, so I went looking through my stamps sets to see what I could use.  The "rod" is actually a piece I cut from some corrugated cardboard that came in some packaging material.  I combined a few different stamp sets for this, but I really like the way it turned out.  I tried to get a close-up photo of the "reel," too, but it just wasn't happening. :-(

Supplies Used

Bella Creationz Happy Days stamp set

Black, blue, green, and brown inks from my stash

There She Goes Clear Stamps Best Fishes stamp set (TSG Clear Stamps is now out of business.)

Timeless Twine Firecracker twine

Thanks for stopping by!  Happy scrapping, everyone!

Eggstra Special Easter

I thought I would whip up a few Easter cards this week, since Easter is not too far away.  This one came together fairly quickly, as I wanted a clean and simple card that could be replicated quickly and easily if needed.

Challenges Entered

CASology Week 136--Basket

Scrappin' 'n' Chattin' March Card Challenges--Easter, Spring, or Pastel Colors

Supplies Used

Crayola colored pencils

Ranger Archival Ink in Coffee

There She Goes Clear Stamps Hunny Bunnies stamp set (Company is now out of business.)

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have a great weekend, and happy scrapping!

Dadisms

Happy Hump Day, everyone!  Ashley here with a new project for the Linnie Blooms Design Team!  I don't think I've ever used burlap on a project before, so I thought I'd try some out on a Father's Day card for my dad.

The only place I adhered the burlap to my cardstock was with the three brads in the top corner.  I actually really like the look of leaving it loose the rest of the way around.

Supplies Used
Cardstock--stash
Glitter brads--stash
Burlap--Linnie Blooms
Sizzix Framelits Fancy Labels Die Set
Ranger Archival Ink--coffee
There She Goes Clear Stamps Dadisms (no longer available)
Cuttlebug Houndstooth Embossing Folder

Be sure to check out the other projects from the Design Team members throughout the month, and I'll be back next week with my challenge project.  Happy scrapping, everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving

This is one of my favorite times of the year!  The weather gets colder, leaves start to change colors and fall off the trees, and families plan large get-togethers.  It's a time to remember what we're thankful for and to enjoy good food, family, fellowship, and football (GO COWBOYS!) in the process!

I decided to enter this week's Whimsical Twist grateful challenge, so I followed this sketch from Sketch-n-Scrap:

I pulled out some brown ribbon (I promise the ribbon really is brown!) from my stash and my Bo Bunny FAVE fall papers--Forever Fall--and created this:

I wanted to finish things off, so I added a sentiment to the inside

and an image to the envelope.

This will be going in the mail on Monday to a former student of mine who is a resident of our local Sheriff's Girl's Ranch.  She's had quite a few things happen in her life, so I'm trying to give her some encouragement right now.

The stamps are from the Bountiful Blessings set from There She Goes Clear Stamps, and I used Ranger Archival Ink in coffee.  The leaf charms came from my friend Danni in an RAK (Thanks, Danni!), and they fit perfectly on my card!  I'll also be entering this in the "Thanksgiving" monthly card challenge at the Yahoo group Scrappin' 'n' Chattin'.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Be sure to come back on Thanksgiving Day (November 28) and again on Saturday, November 30, as I'm participating in a "12 Days of Christmas" blog hop, and I'll have a different Christmas project (and a giveaway!) to share with you each day.  Happy scrapping, everyone!

Scrapping4fun Challenges--Challenge Two--Card

I hope everyone's had a great week!  I've been in my craft room in the afternoon/evening for several days this week, and I feel like I've really accomplished some things.  It's time for another challenge at Scrapping4fun Challenges!

For Challenge Two, we'd like to see a card with at least two embellishments and a quote, and your card must also relate to the upcoming season.

I used a piece of brown cardstock as my base and folded it to make a 4x6 card.  I embossed my ecru cardstock with the Cuttlebug Autumn embossing folder before adhering it to my card base.  The images and sentiment are all from There She Goes Clear Stamps' Bountiful Blessings set, and I used Ranger Archival Ink in coffee to stamp them and to ink the edges of the torn paper.  I've had this stamp set for a little while, but I hadn't had the chance to use it until now.  I'm really happy with the way it turned out, though!

We can't wait to see what you can create!  You've got two weeks to get your card uploaded to the Scrapping4fun Challenges blog, which means the deadline is Thursday, 26 September (my oldest son's birthday!).  Be sure to stop back by on Monday for a BIG announcement!  Good luck, and happy scrapping!
