Crafty Gals Corner challenge #271 Spooky ____________.

 Hello everyone!  I have some news I would like to share.  My significant other was diagnosed with Temporal Dementia in 2023.  It's getting worse.  I am physically and emotionally drained.  My escape has been making my cards.  But when I start missing deadlines then something has to give.  I am no longer with  Crafters Cafe Challenge.  I just couldn't juggle 3 DT's.  So I am here with Rhapsody and Crafty Gals and still with Penny's over at havecolorsbehappy.blogspot.com.  Just thought I would let you know.

Here are the sponsors for Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #271 Spooky ___________!

3 Sets of Digi's

What a great mix of sponsors for our Spooky challenge.  Go say thanks and leave a little love everyone!

My project is from Colour Of Love and is titled Cauldron Possums.  Just one thing.  I have a possum that lives under my deck.  I named it Polly.  I can pet her and she eats whatever the cats are eating.  She is sure cute!

Miss Heather comes up with the cutest designs for Possums.
I have quite a few of her possum files.  So I was very excited
to colour up this one.  I have used mainly Castle Arts Oil
based color pencils for the main image.  Paper piecing for the
floor and wall.  

Here is the inside.

Envelope.  This card is going to the girls for Halloween!

So short and sweet for this month.  Now November will be the last challenge for 2025 over at Crafty Gals.  We will start up again in January 2026.  But for now...

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!

Crafty Gals Corner challenge #270 ATG with the twist __________Fall!

 Hello!  Welcome back to my blog.  Had a very nice summer break and am now ready to get the 'ber' months done so Santa can visit!  Actually my favorite time of year is October.  I had (many years back) a Halloween baby.  So her birthday was Halloween themed.  I have since quit making her Halloween cards and gone to more grown-up cards.  This year I think it will be Lilo and Stitch themed!  (btw she is turning 47. shhhhhhh). Here are the sponsors.

WOW!  This doesn't happen very much anymore.  3 wonderful sponsors who I believe have seen sponsoring challenges since I started design teams.  Thank you's are in order and leave a bunch of love when you visit!

My project is from Fred She Said.   It is titled Fall Flowers & Paper Pricking Frame.  This is something I have know experience with.  But there is always the first try.  Here it is.

See those dots?  I took the end of a seam ripper and a old
mouse pad and pricked all the holes on the metallic paper.
Next I pricked the holes on the flowered paper and used
3 strands of navy blue embroidery floss.  I guess you would
call it a back stitch around the pricked part.  The envelope 
is light blue card.  Base is a mint green.

I can't get ride of this underline.  I have tried.  So we shall
go on.  The inside of the card is decorated with flowers
provided by Fred She Said.  I printed them out on vellum
and used them.  The other inside is gold metallic and another
flower.

The other flower.

The back.  (notice the underline is gone) I give up...

I am going to quit for this post.  I have screwed up enough tonight.  So from my heart to yours,

Stay Healthy, Stay Safe and know you are blessed!

Crafter's Cafe challenge #322 Anything goes + Use designer papers.

 Hey I am back with another post for Crafter's Cafe challenge.  As you can see the challenge is anything goes or a twist with using designer papers.  Here is our sponsor.

All Dressed Up Digital stamps

Prize is 2 images

I just love working with All Dressed Up.  Crisp clean designs that fit almost every occasion.  Go visit leave some love and a thank you!

My card is using the image called little pumpkin.  Here is my card.

I have colored this image with alcohol markers and Castle Arts
oil based color pencils.  The background paper is from G45 set
called Garden Goddess (retired).  The base is a bright orange.
Next I did a print and cut leaving a small border.  I glued on
the images and cut out a Happy Fall sentiment.

Well that is all for August.  I will be back in September with another project.  But until then,

Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and know that you are blessed.
