Little Red Wagon Challenge #733 Bohemian Rhapsody/ I have stenciled, embossed, die cut (popped on dimensionals), gold twine and gems

Snippets Playground Challenge #468 My snippets are the gold and red foil like sentiment! The sentiment was lost on my card, so I traced the die for a shadow and fussy cut. Twice. Cause the first one was backward! I could use a drink of the 'special' hot chocolate that is in the flask!

I want to give a shout out to one of my favorite Canadian online stores!

Scrap and Stamp! I placed an order and received the wrong color ink. They sent the right one, a self addressed envelope to return the one I didn't want, and included this cute stamp set! 

I am also done cleaning and organizing. For a minute. I have 2 boxes of stuff that the Girl Guides will be excited about!

Telus is supposed to show up this afternoon. My mom has not had a working phone for 2 weeks! This is after we had to get an electrician, too make sure the problem wasn't in the house. It isn't.

Gotta go!

In other news, my brother was here! He had some time off between jobs. We did a few chores. He left this morning.

I have been cleaning my crap craft stuff out again!! Almost 2 years in my current craft space, and organizing it so it works for me. Getting there! And the girl guides will be so excited for all the fun stuff for crafts for Christmas!!

Got a new computer too! I am loving it! It's an Acer Aspire all in one. My poor laptop was slowing down, shutting off (on it's own) etc. It was time! Just need to install the keyboard tray under my desk. It's on the list for this week! 

That's is for me!

 Hello!

Hope you are well! 

I am determined to use all the colored images on my desk! They are piling up as I've been giving my Ohuhu markers a work out! I'm a crayon user, so these have been a learning experience! I just have to quit second guessing! I use the swatches and they always start darker, and I'm like WHAT!? Turns out fine most of the time!!

Hello!

Hope you are well!

I made pretty trash for a couple days. Along with some Keepers! I have had this Mercury Glass acetate for quite a while. I watched a few videos, checked out a lot of sites, then just did a thing!

I blended some colors under the acetate, hoping for some northern lights or something.

Card Chain Challenge October 2023 Reveal

Hello!

Hope you are well!!

It's November 2nd (already) so time for the CCC Reveal! 

Challenge Directions 

Make a card using at least one of the following options. (You can actually use two, three, all the options, but you are only required to use one of them.)  

Colour Palette Option

(Exact matching is not required.)

Sketch Option

 

(Orient as desired.)

Theme Options: Bears / Balloons / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Something Fluffy / Spotlight Stamping

 

Time to see who sent what to whom!

My card went to Tina in Slovenia.

 I followed the sketch (loosely)! I did a gelli plate thingy on the left, with a leaf stencil, then I place the stencil over the leaves again, and used Galaxy paste. The leaf was stamped on paper mooshed on the gelli plate, heat embossed, and fussy cut. I used a piece of hoarded Core'dinations paper for the leaves embossing folder, and sanded that. I say hoarded because I have a 3 inch stack, and can never find the right color!!

You still have a day or two to sign up for November! It's great to get cards from all over the world! 

Talk to ya later!
