Inky Paws Challenge #10

The Newton's Nook Inky Paws challenge is asking us to add texture like cork, metal, or wood. I decided to use all three. I added some cork to the glasses and bottle. I also used a metal look for the bottle and added a touch of metallic border with the mat. I have some wood texture on the basket. I wanted to create a scene with the cute basket from Baskets of Wishes so I put it on a picnic blanket in the grass with a pretty blue sky.  Thanks for a fun challenge!

Squeeze A Palooza 7

Fresh Squeezed Stamps' Squeeze a Palooza is back and this month the theme is spring. I was inspired by the idea of April showers and really liked the idea of a critter holding the umbrella. I used Weather Through with Hootie Who? to create this card. There are two chances to win so play along.

A Valentine

Here's a valentine I made for my daughter with the Pink Elephant valentine's challenge and for the Easy Craft Projects Challenge to use a love theme.. This is also for the Paper Sundaes challenge. At Paper Sundaes who could choose your toppings I used pink, distressing, and a flower. The papers are from GCD Studios and the elephant sticker is from the Target $ spot.

Some cards

My first card is for the Card Patterns sketch. I was able to use some coordinating Heidi Grace papers I got on clearance at Joanns awhile ago. It was difficult to get everything even, but I think the imperfections are what make a homemade card more treasured.

My second card is for the color challenge at the Play Date Cafe. The colors are purple, lilac, and lime green. This worked out perfectly because my niece whose birthday is tomorrow loves these colors!

Thanks for stopping by!
