Words 2 Scrap By Challenge #1

Some blogger friends of mine Bobbi and Sybrina, have a new challenge blog called Words 2 Scrap By.  Their first challenge involves The Sound of Music "Favorite Things" song.

So, what's the inspiration for the first challenge? Our first month's inspiration comes in the form of the song "My Favorite Things" from Rodger and Hammerstein's  The Sound of Music. You know the song, "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens..."

The challenge is to choose a lyric from the song and make a card based on your chosen lyric. Maybe your card will feature roses and raindrops... or kittens with whiskers... or another one of those favorite things mentioned in the song.

I was inspired by Carol L. who blogs at Our Little Inspiration.  She used the line "cream colored ponies" from the song.  Her card is gorgeous!  I remembered I had this great stamp from B&J's Art Stamps.


Cream Colored Ponies

Products Used:
Sizzix Labels 17
Tim Holtz Distressed inks in Antique Linen (to color horses) and Brushed Corduroy for edging.
Image stamped with Momento Rich Cocoa Ink
DP is Jillibean Soup Hearty Barley Mushroom
Sentiment is from Simple Sayings set Stamper's Anonymous (Tim Holtz)

On a different note, I gained 22 followers overnight!  Thank you all for joining my little blog.  I owe it all to Darnell at djkardkreations.  She gave me a shout out on her blog and wow!  Welcome everyone thanks for joining!

Happy Crafting!

Inskpirational Challenge #14 and OWH Midweek

The ladies over at Inkspirational blog have a color challenge this week.  I decided to get busy and get this one done quickly as I missed the linky for the last challenge because it closed early.  That is what I get for waiting until the last few hours.  The colors for this weeks challenge were Banana, Pink and Slate.


While I was at it I decided to combine challenges with the Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown of Tags and Twine.  The round tag is a stamp from Inspired by Stamping Fancy Tags.  I stamped it with Momento Tuxedo Black ink  on banana yellow cardstock and then mounted it on a piece of slate cardstock.    The sentiment in the center is from the Stampin'Up Vintage Verses set.  The Pink DSP is from an Authentique Uncommon 6x6 pad.  The harlequin DSP is from a retired Stampin'Up Well Worn kit.  Border is Sizzix Dots and Scallops decorative strip.  I added dots of Ranger Distressed Stickles in Broken Chine on the tag and along the decorative border.  I twine I used is We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy Floss in Twilight (hard to see but it is sparkly!).

Holiday Card Workshop Day 3

Day 3 of Online Card Classes Holiday Card Workshop.  A different way of scoring backgrounds.  You don't have to score evenly.  Love the plaid look to this.


Yes, I know this is not a holiday card but Operation Write Home is already asking for Valentine's Day cards.   The Holiday cards are already in the mail to our troops.  I cut the images wit the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cartridge.  The stamp set is Close to My Heart "Mad About You."  I used Ranger Vermilion Archival Ink and Momento Rich Cocoa Ink.  The background is sponged with Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers Distressed Ink.

I hope you remembered to turn your clocks back!
