Got Bait??

Hi everyone!  My husband and son REALLY like to fish.  Josh always seems to catch the big one and out fish his dad!  I just love this hAnglar image. Of course, I say that about all of them!

Designer paper is by Three Bugs in a Rug.

I cut the swirls with my Cricut (Storybook) and I also cut the fish with my cricut (Everyday Paper Dolls).  I distressed the heck out of the fish by crumpling it up a bunch of times and used walnut stain Distress Ink on it. 

The shape the image is in was also cut my Cricut (I think Storybook)

The little fishys are from JoAnns

I also used my Martha Stewart punch for the seaweed.

Tilda Among Cherries

Hello everyone!  Thanks for stopping by today!  I just love this time of year, all the fresh fruits and veggies that taste so much better now then other times of the year.  When I lived in West Virginia we had about 12 apple trees and a cherry tree that when in season the branches would literally hang clear to the ground because it was loaded with so much fruit!  I miss those trees.....Here is a card that I made for a couple of challenges:  The Pixie Cottage Challenge #25 and Cute Card Thursday  Fruity Challenge, Paper Take Weekly  Challenge - In Stitches, Magnolia Down Under Challenge - Something Sweet.

I loved coloring the cherries on this card.  At first I thought it was going to be a little difficult because they are dark, but once I started it was so much fun coloring them!!

Card Recipe:

Design Papers:  CTMH

stamps:  Jam Tilda can be found at 7 Kids.

Whimsy Doodle Stamps (cherries and pot)

Flowers: Wild Orchid Crafts, cherry buttons are from JoAnns

Liquid Glass (CTMH) on some of the cherries

And of course, I used my sewing machine again!  (seems I love this stitch!)

Wow, can't believe that the 4th of July is almost here!  Summer is cruising by!  This card was inspired by the challenge over at Just Magnolia.  I took a few liberties and changed the sketch just a ting.

Card/Bookmark

This card was inspired by the monthly challenge at Tickled Pink.  I must say that I really enjoyed making this card once I had an idea to work with.

There are a lot of pieces and elements to this card, so there are a lot of pictures to show.

The hAnglar girls pulls out and that is the bookmark.  Design papers used are Heidi Grace and Cloud 9.  Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I used a Martha Stewart punch on the bottom of the bookmark and around the circle at the bottom.

And finally the inside....

Other Challenges:  Cute Card Thursday Reuse, Renew, Recycle (lace is recycled)

Have a wonderful day!

One Stop Craft Challenge - Week 86 Pink and Brown

This week at One Stop Craft Challenge the lovely Francesa has asked us to use Pink and Brown.  This week we are being sponsored by Wink Wink Ink.  Here is what I came up with:

I felt like doing something other than a card...so I made a box.   The box measured 6x6 inches.  I made the drawer pull by placing a pretty brad onto an unmushed eyelet then attaching it to my drawer.  I like to attach them this way better because then there is a litttle space between the drawer and the pull. 

The top image is Mr. and Mrs. Foxglove by Whiff of Joy.  I just love how Mrs. Foxglove is peaking from behind Mr. Foxglove!  The lace from my grandmother's stash, I miss her daily.

You can get a better look at the drawer pull here.

Copics used to color with.

Glad you stopped by!  Can't wait to see what you create that is pink and brown!
