Little Bundle of Joy

This card is for today's Splitcoaststampers' Sketch Challenge - SC358. Just got this cute little baby bear embossing folder from Darice. Love it! Never seem to have enough baby cards, so thought I'd make some up. I chalked the little bear to make him stand out, as he seemed to get lost with some color. The Little Bundle of Joy stamp is the Punches Three set from Stampin' Up. I stamped it with VersaMark and Chocolate Chip ink, then heat embossed it. tfl

Howdy Pardner

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Color Challenge - CC348 - cajun craze, kraft, and tempting turquoise. When I saw this pic of a trio of cute little donkeys it reminded me of my manicurist, as she is the only person I know who has a pet donkey. Aren't they soooo cute???!! So...I made this card for her. I made the sentiment on my computer. tfl

Autumn Thanks TLC350

This card is for Splitcoaststampers' Technique Lovers Challenge - TLC 350 - No Stamps Allowed. I used my new embossing folder by Darice...LOVE this ef! Embossed it onto Core'dinations cs and sanded, then colored the leaves with watercolor markers. Printed the thank you and did some more dry embossing and chalking. Oh, and the leaf is from a beautiful weeping birch we have out front. tfl

Autumn Thanks

This card was inspired by the above picture from Week 1 inspiration challenge from http://justinspirationalchallenges.blogspot.com/.

I've also drawn inspiration from
Challenge #22 - Embossing and/or 3 or More Layers at http://heartsonginspirations.blogspot.com/. I heat embossed my image and then used watercolor crayons and an aquapainter on them. Stamped the THANKS on the side, added a cute little glittery leaf button with some raffia, and Voila! tfl

MMSC128 Priscillastyles Pincushion

This card is for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - MMSC128. The beautiful digital image is one of the newest from priscillastyles-store. Last weekend my neighbor and I took part in a craft fair here at our community club house. She makes adorable pincushions, and I wanted to thank her for helping me set up my pegboard cardholder, so this image was just perfect to make her a little thank you card. It is also for the following challenges:
1. The Catered Crop - FTR24 recipe challenge;
2. Come and Get It Challenge - anything goes; and
3. Craft your Passion - Bingo
