I tried bringing out fall decorations in August and got a lot of push back from my family for trying to prematurely end summer. Now that it is September, I can go crazy with the Halloween and Fall decorations and they can't say anything! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">The card that I'm sharing today is from the new <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/stamps/products/spooky-sightings-5x6-5" target="_blank">Spooky Sightings</a> stamp set from <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com" target="_blank">The Rabbit Hole Designs</a>. I don't mind most animals and insects but I'm not a fan of spiders, even the harmless ones freak me out. My kids still make fun and mimic me for the "black widow dance" I did once when I thought a black widow ran up my pant leg while unpacking a tent. I was traumatized but everyone else thinks it is the funniest memory ever. I would definitely not want a spider hanging down to say Hello to me but it goes well with the season 😁</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidy9WLxdDGMWz5ba0ueLGZjFerccOZeG5l1OXyyw8ABhTuYmYtYCUT_kojuYpx4vwEaguI0dlUqGyWIFMA2Q9hspSvp8MTdm-b_y4kUNlHU158nno5KuJ7XVqqDvWc65LMCciV6dM5NHRS_gqJxhSmFCAzHbmPxipqBaHeCA9F3lO7fRSpqvaD_JUbyug/s1080/spooky%20sightings%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidy9WLxdDGMWz5ba0ueLGZjFerccOZeG5l1OXyyw8ABhTuYmYtYCUT_kojuYpx4vwEaguI0dlUqGyWIFMA2Q9hspSvp8MTdm-b_y4kUNlHU158nno5KuJ7XVqqDvWc65LMCciV6dM5NHRS_gqJxhSmFCAzHbmPxipqBaHeCA9F3lO7fRSpqvaD_JUbyug/w464-h464/spooky%20sightings%202.jpg" width="464" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">I didn't really have a plan in mind when I started this card but I quickly decided to get away from the yellow and oranges of fall season and go for a pink and black color scheme.

I am trying to allow myself to leave cards blank but I'm just not quite there yet so I had to have something. I thought maybe Happy Halloween or Happy Birthday but it seemed like the spider hanging down by a giant Hello would be a better fit. I used the "Just wanted to say Hello" sentiment from the <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/products/hello-scripty-3x4?_pos=1&_sid=80cf40006&_ss=r" target="_blank">Hello Scripty 3x4</a> stamp set. I stamped the word Hello using my Misti because I can't possibly stamp without it.</span><div><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-4eIxxBiGgY_Qkpo3N03zIBcKYAf1uA2P79yQwAcf_ANQnE0irHPGS4JPAI6EneKBp7s1H8qF5fP3QnkOXaQvpCxBBhChGfcsCLrmqDHux71YoXnRJCrp0E4ZUlZpbuS-hhcc9ja2uf1SZQV5FiTHuPSxTKkACg_f4S7xe_4EdICgA_QNuRFfLvnzbH4/s3024/IMG_0999.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-4eIxxBiGgY_Qkpo3N03zIBcKYAf1uA2P79yQwAcf_ANQnE0irHPGS4JPAI6EneKBp7s1H8qF5fP3QnkOXaQvpCxBBhChGfcsCLrmqDHux71YoXnRJCrp0E4ZUlZpbuS-hhcc9ja2uf1SZQV5FiTHuPSxTKkACg_f4S7xe_4EdICgA_QNuRFfLvnzbH4/s320/IMG_0999.jpeg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">Lastly, I used the A2 Acetate Shaker Sheets to turn this relatively simple card front into something fun and interactive. I always start by attaching only two sides of the acetate sheet so that I have enough room to add sequins. I used to attach three sides and dump the sequins in from the top but I like having more room to adjust the sequins and make sure they are all flat before I attach the last sides. I chose pink and black sequins from my stash to match the color scheme of the card. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNQbimvt9NHrFMLRkieyYyn49ADrzN0prO_g9pU0FDZeQni6yPy0hla9aD42PQKKNH3NTmr9Hfd8ElLNGfyof1lixZN98-aAcdbsGchx0N_Yhg0XzSk13-kexnyjZdUGp7T2I_UQE4wwVL9i1DWTJBtK5Yihw0XaTb9eFG5AnPS5OymBYNjYnW0smkZtE/s3024/IMG_1002.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNQbimvt9NHrFMLRkieyYyn49ADrzN0prO_g9pU0FDZeQni6yPy0hla9aD42PQKKNH3NTmr9Hfd8ElLNGfyof1lixZN98-aAcdbsGchx0N_Yhg0XzSk13-kexnyjZdUGp7T2I_UQE4wwVL9i1DWTJBtK5Yihw0XaTb9eFG5AnPS5OymBYNjYnW0smkZtE/s320/IMG_1002.jpeg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">Here is a little glimpse into my craft room.

This card is all about back to school since topic that has been dominating my house for the past few weeks. First the shopping, then the open houses, meetings with guidance counselors, sports physicals, soccer tryouts, paperwork, more paperwork, and even more paperwork. School started for most of the kids in my house last week so we're right in the middle of adjusting to summer ending and early mornings. This year I've got a high school senior (exchange student from Spain), 10th grader, 8th grader, and one beginning her first year of nursing school. Only 2 of the 4 were excited about going back to school but I won't say who they were! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">For this card, I decided to use the floral bus image from the new <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/stamps/products/school-sightings-4x6" target="_blank">School Sightings</a> stamp set. I'm always a big fan of the floral elements that <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/shop" target="_blank">The Rabbit Hole Designs</a> adds to their stamps so I really like this bus stamp. <br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv_5itZKSzhdeYBQPMSlfMnTgkEstfJhY7QX2fVzKdKPsdOKszap2YsmTEj0NFPkFIzqd0GcnmmlTJsvFNUH_jalReH6yhCWvI6whvzvq0YVTtNXSb7KnNb3IATBuVVAfkbNsCKrPZ3Uhnsh4DcghwRQwaB_nfZtdVB-FFSvSoFhCBwlW-6nwh_DDLBfU/s1080/School%20sightings%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="508" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv_5itZKSzhdeYBQPMSlfMnTgkEstfJhY7QX2fVzKdKPsdOKszap2YsmTEj0NFPkFIzqd0GcnmmlTJsvFNUH_jalReH6yhCWvI6whvzvq0YVTtNXSb7KnNb3IATBuVVAfkbNsCKrPZ3Uhnsh4DcghwRQwaB_nfZtdVB-FFSvSoFhCBwlW-6nwh_DDLBfU/w508-h508/School%20sightings%201.jpg" width="508" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">For the sentiment, I decided to use the <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/products/copy-of-adventure-scripty-word-hot-foil-plate?_pos=2&_sid=4827dc5da&_ss=r" target="_blank">Adventure hot foil plate</a> and the <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/products/adventure-scripty-word-with-shadow-layer-dies?_pos=3&_sid=4827dc5da&_ss=r" target="_blank">coordinating die set</a> and paired those with the 'Time for a new" sentiment out of the <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/products/adventure-scripty-3x4?_pos=1&_sid=4827dc5da&_ss=r" target="_blank">Adventure-Scripty</a> stamp set. There is so much possibility with the coordinating products! I used black foil and it has a really nice shine which isn't really visible in the photo. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">Now here's the ugly truth. I ALWAYS mess up the foiling. I don't know how or why but I do it every time. I know which way the foil goes but my brain just doesn't let me put it down correctly on the first try. So pretty much all of my hot foil plates look like this. But that is ok, they still work perfectly fine. 😅</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWQFZGivlotaVQnv9XLv14WhAQmQEpBoAoE-t3-qvibi3PiqfY_rSYI4JZIEAe31veZ_oWIJ0lGpG4KyC6FsXA-MsTZTdrd9Hge6D27w1s0wWUUg0dPZa95vMduruf-ePdEmmrGKfZI65OekYVkEu4tGtdFjM9mu3ENzLkL5EeXPqtqXaXewG3vLBERJg/s4032/IMG_0827.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWQFZGivlotaVQnv9XLv14WhAQmQEpBoAoE-t3-qvibi3PiqfY_rSYI4JZIEAe31veZ_oWIJ0lGpG4KyC6FsXA-MsTZTdrd9Hge6D27w1s0wWUUg0dPZa95vMduruf-ePdEmmrGKfZI65OekYVkEu4tGtdFjM9mu3ENzLkL5EeXPqtqXaXewG3vLBERJg/s320/IMG_0827.jpeg" width="240" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;"><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you'll check out the rest of the blogs in the inspiration hop for lots of fun ideas and adorable cards!</div></span><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Kalam;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://therabbitholedesignsllc.blogspot.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">The Rabbit Hole Designs</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://trace1282.wixsite.com/my-site" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">Tracy S.</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.luvinstampin.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">Wendy</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">Erin<< You are here</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.rckinsmonstudio.net/rickadkinscards" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">Rick</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/deana.benson/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Kalam; font-size: medium;">Deana </span></a></div></div>Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10898024105763367001noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015868712264820195.post-9127880918543880622023-08-28T07:33:00.001-04:002023-08-28T07:33:29.600-04:00Spooky Sightings<p><span style="font-family: Poppins; font-size: medium;"> Hello!

text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Kalam;">Today is day 3 of the August release at <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com" target="_blank">The Rabbit Hole Designs</a> and I'm sharing a card that I made using the new <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/stamps/products/soft-hugs-cotton-flower-5x6-5" target="_blank">Soft Hugs</a> stamp set. This stamp set is to cute and unique! I chose the stamp with three cotton bolls and colored with pencils. I used the <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/products/soft-hugs-cotton-flower-dies" target="_blank">coordinating die</a> to cut it out and popped it up with foam onto a brown oval. For the background, I used the new <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/stamps/products/falling-leaves-6x6" target="_blank">Falling Leaves</a> stamp set and cut out a rectangle with the <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/dies-stencils/products/youve-been-framed-layering-dies" target="_blank">You've Been Framed Layering Dies</a>. I added the sentiment and mounted the whole card front onto a brown card base.

I love this release, it is all fall themed adorableness. There is not much that I like more than curling up with a good book on a cool fall day so this <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/stamps/products/autumn-is-calling-5x6-5" target="_blank">Autumn is Calling</a> stamp set is perfect for me. For my card, I used the image with the books and mushrooms and colored with pencils. I stamped the sentiment "Autumn holds a wonder all its own" directly on the card front, rounded the corners with a punch and mounted it on a green card stock. Since I can't get enough of the <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/crafters-essentials/products/a2-shaker-acetate-sheets" target="_blank">Shaker Acetate Sheets</a>, I definitely had to make this one into a shaker card. I used fall colored sequins and shaker bits to match the fall vibe of the card. I'm really happy with how the card turned out and I can't wait to share more cards from this release over the next few days! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmgfbctDyJaScgTk8DCWzN_JP0HuFDaz3GbgtF9xTaYL2Xi9kEXlbBF6jfXbDLQ8gNHx5xPaPOaFvJ8df0Tkpg5WqF_4hGVWGWQCAlZM3L6equbDZ8wNudPprM5Esz3ZPqoJ0V_UY_jrSVmF_zln6iMvKOh2m_L0U1_Rk-hie1kDApbKUtM8gDPgusWJ8/s1080/ES%20AUTUMN%20IS%20CALLING%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmgfbctDyJaScgTk8DCWzN_JP0HuFDaz3GbgtF9xTaYL2Xi9kEXlbBF6jfXbDLQ8gNHx5xPaPOaFvJ8df0Tkpg5WqF_4hGVWGWQCAlZM3L6equbDZ8wNudPprM5Esz3ZPqoJ0V_UY_jrSVmF_zln6iMvKOh2m_L0U1_Rk-hie1kDApbKUtM8gDPgusWJ8/w492-h492/ES%20AUTUMN%20IS%20CALLING%201.jpg" width="492" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">For more inspiration, check out the rest of the blogs in the inspiration hop!

The school year is just about over and we are in the thick of end of the year school events. Graduations and graduation parties, end of the year field trips, exchange students preparing to go back to their home countries...our house gets pretty crazy this time of year! </p><p>I actually think the book for the <a href="https://onceuponatimechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog</a>, The Little Engine That Could, ties into my life right now. I think I can make it over this mountain of chaos that will lead into summer 😀</p><p>If the <a href="https://onceuponatimechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog</a> is new to you, the basic idea is that there is a monthly children's book and the challenge is to create a card inspired by the book cover. If you'd like to play along, more details can be found on the <a href="https://onceuponatimechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog. </a> </p><p>For my card, I started by using a stencil to create the background. I roughly followed the book cover, making the ground green, the track area brown and they sky yellow/orange. For the train itself, I used a stamp set from The Stamps of Life. I colored the train blue and yellow which is similar to the little engine in the book. I stamped the tracks directly onto the background and fussy cut the train, which I mounted on foam tape for some dimension. I scissor cut the smoke from some gray card stock and inked a little around the edges. There were several sentiments in the stamp set to choose from but I decided to go with "Just chugging by to say Happy Birthday to Choo!''</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyP1BYKjiykB3M7to4SHhYWf9hoP9M29WZQ_gxMlYY3ZGyeNNIsbEf3e9gtD57L8emfjip8UE6w5Tu406UrJt1aMMpU4DwuL78lx_YcrO-OdyEpAT1aVUDckYUbgALsD2yTpqgwxPBB2qWRj5NhLPLsPOYO5oqxpSytik0e6peLaM3rRlTFTZaYvzs/s3024/IMG_7641.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyP1BYKjiykB3M7to4SHhYWf9hoP9M29WZQ_gxMlYY3ZGyeNNIsbEf3e9gtD57L8emfjip8UE6w5Tu406UrJt1aMMpU4DwuL78lx_YcrO-OdyEpAT1aVUDckYUbgALsD2yTpqgwxPBB2qWRj5NhLPLsPOYO5oqxpSytik0e6peLaM3rRlTFTZaYvzs/s320/IMG_7641.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkrLxNbZdxSDcNbAruwpI3RIDG7L4jw1WEVqgeDd63d6Fu4Q0uTpzFxKKuUsvP0rFBmEVkUTdJg2-hBjcuDHh1XYKoWSrM-8Ok8xlLSx2-Y2OWtxPjNxrv-FzCDcDavT76Zb8dq0_pyC5UFaFs6zOK51upvC6bwOxmw5VYoQ9cTidmACiJWSK6OlVW/s400/little%20engine.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkrLxNbZdxSDcNbAruwpI3RIDG7L4jw1WEVqgeDd63d6Fu4Q0uTpzFxKKuUsvP0rFBmEVkUTdJg2-hBjcuDHh1XYKoWSrM-8Ok8xlLSx2-Y2OWtxPjNxrv-FzCDcDavT76Zb8dq0_pyC5UFaFs6zOK51upvC6bwOxmw5VYoQ9cTidmACiJWSK6OlVW/s320/little%20engine.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Challenge details and design team inspiration can be found on the <a href="https://onceuponatimechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog</a>.

I always say in my posts that I love puns but maybe something you don't know about me is that I especially love produce puns. I know that is a weird thing to love! Maybe it's working in a grocery store for all those years before I had the kids. Whatever it is, they crack me up. My favorite pun in this stamp set is definitely "keep calm and cherry on." So cute!</p><p>For my card, I used the brick stencil from <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com" target="_blank">The Rabbit Hole Designs</a> to create a blue background. I colored the cherries with pencils and popped it up on a scalloped circle die. I stamped the sentiment directly on the background and added some foam tape to the word cherry to give it a little dimension. It is so fun that the word cherry is included in the coordinating die set! I mounted the whole card front on the red card base and added a few little red rhinestones for some sparkle. I'm really happy with how this card turned out. When I started it, I had a vision for a picnic theme and I think the card really does have a picnic vibe!</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHySjQRbSTBVU-o37SFibv8mJDSE_dsihmIpb9yxUdEOkPHJQwXwGhfz8lDHBr9hxmhm0_bBTS3708eJ453G29fOvrf6qEigo83QDL36OOEKoqBlH47FF2tNSfYtdKxF9HWrCA7tGaxYGEqqydIAr-zIv00fvdHENqRwxyO3-4hgcKhrYZYSnpsxcm/s1080/ES%20CHERRY%20ON%20TOP%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="453" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHySjQRbSTBVU-o37SFibv8mJDSE_dsihmIpb9yxUdEOkPHJQwXwGhfz8lDHBr9hxmhm0_bBTS3708eJ453G29fOvrf6qEigo83QDL36OOEKoqBlH47FF2tNSfYtdKxF9HWrCA7tGaxYGEqqydIAr-zIv00fvdHENqRwxyO3-4hgcKhrYZYSnpsxcm/w453-h453/ES%20CHERRY%20ON%20TOP%202.jpg" width="453" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">For more inspiration, be sure to check out the following blogs.

I used the watermelon slice from the stamp set to create a background by stamping the melon in random directions in red and green ink. I add the sentiment in green and used a red strip of card stock behind the sentiment and the cupcake. I mounted the whole thing on a green card base. For some sparkle, I added black rhinestones from my stash to mimic watermelon seeds. <p></p><p>For more inspiration for this stamp set, check out the following blogs.

Today marks the start of a new challenge at<a href="https://onceuponatimechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank"> Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog</a>. As always, the theme is based off of a children's book cover. The challenge is to create a card inspired by the cover. This month's book is One Love by Bob Marley. It took me a bit to decide how I wanted to make my card. Usually, I try to mimic the cover of the book in some way but this time I decided to take the theme of One Love and make a wedding card using hearts. I don't have very many stamps or sentiments relating to weddings but I thought this "Wishing you the most beautiful day" sentiment from The Stamps of Life would be perfect. Since the book has green writing, I decided to use green as the main background color. So from the book I've pulled the theme of love (hearts and wedding card) and the color green. The other thing I wanted to add was sparkle so I heat embossed the sentiment in silver and found some shiny silver card stock for the leaves and background of the sentiment. For the flowers and card front, I used a really pretty glittery white card stock. Of course it is hard to see in the photos but it really sparkles. And the last bling I added was silver rhinestones in the center of all the flowers and a few around the sentiment. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA3YCz6tiqRP6tz0LDuqawdJBKsRGMK1Y7SsPkaUBKFvg03zt73iCUE75vWKJNOGiMliJ94hfz9HOi50yyys8_G7iiMq2UHihTVzKvks8oYZyL3rtpF5n93HT_WuMBEckBL1U71AqFBs-w2wTVaLHPSxV-w4Gc8n63v0xGLApEkadl6Pc0VHmxwcnU/s3024/Once%20Upon%20A%20Time%2010%20.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA3YCz6tiqRP6tz0LDuqawdJBKsRGMK1Y7SsPkaUBKFvg03zt73iCUE75vWKJNOGiMliJ94hfz9HOi50yyys8_G7iiMq2UHihTVzKvks8oYZyL3rtpF5n93HT_WuMBEckBL1U71AqFBs-w2wTVaLHPSxV-w4Gc8n63v0xGLApEkadl6Pc0VHmxwcnU/s320/Once%20Upon%20A%20Time%2010%20.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia3sGjPdXzZRkuA-XB22acpBti06mkbcjOzBTQg2xC3MmIAaGYoRyD64FwCwpVzX_5XJA4Nr1SVeo9DQCfyaZsgFwJMUJL3GG8vqYqwZFmuypjSQOavAhaoh3q0jtCJm1BnGAHp2t0z5udGEFZz2qGRfFl-5b7UF07fj5ObFtZv49omw9l-EkyvRgl/s3024/Once%20Upon%20A%20Time%2010%20closeup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia3sGjPdXzZRkuA-XB22acpBti06mkbcjOzBTQg2xC3MmIAaGYoRyD64FwCwpVzX_5XJA4Nr1SVeo9DQCfyaZsgFwJMUJL3GG8vqYqwZFmuypjSQOavAhaoh3q0jtCJm1BnGAHp2t0z5udGEFZz2qGRfFl-5b7UF07fj5ObFtZv49omw9l-EkyvRgl/s320/Once%20Upon%20A%20Time%2010%20closeup.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I tried to post a short video so you could see some of the sparkle.

For my card, I'm featuring two new products. The first new product is the stamp set is <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/stamps/products/otter-play-4x6" target="_blank">Otter Play</a>, illustrated by Agota Pop. There are also some cute otters in the stamp set but this time I choose to go with the vacationing crab. I feel like him exactly right now because it is April 25 and we've got snow falling. All I can think of is going somewhere warm for vacation 😁</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Poppins;">The background is made using the new <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/dies-stencils/products/making-waves-6x6-stencil" target="_blank">Making Waves</a> stencil. This stencil has different wave patterns on all four sides, which I think is amazing. No other stencils that I have are like that. I used three of the four sides and several blues to create a wavy background. I made another card where I blotted white pigment ink over some of the waves for a little bit of ocean foam but that card is for another day. 😜</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Poppins;">The for the sand, I used a brown card stock and stamped on some sandy texture with a stamp I had in my stash. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Poppins;">The crab and the vacation sign are colored with Caran D'Anche Pablo pencils, which are quickly becoming my favorite. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Welcome to day 1 of the inspiration hop for the new release at <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com" target="_blank">The Rabbit Hole Designs</a>! The release this month includes some really adorable stamps and a super cool stencil. Today I'm featuring a card that I made using the <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/stamps/products/lovely-lilies-5x6-5" target="_blank">Lovely Lilies</a> stamp set with coordinating dies, illustrated by Kelly Taylor. </span><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">For the background, I used the <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/products/back-alley-6x6-stencil?_pos=2&_sid=af838e48c&_ss=r" target="_blank">Back Alley stencil</a> (an older stencil from The Rabbit Hole Designs) and inked some brown ink onto a light brown cardstock. I stamped the sentiment, also from the <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/stamps/products/lovely-lilies-5x6-5" target="_blank">Lovely Lilies</a> stamp set, directly onto the background. </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQbcZ4zY2FJ07kbn-8b_VvvCry99NSuAh9PNhw9NG98sVCGeU25WmX_K4rJ7c2yRAWl7nea8_RGh2Z6uxTEItD8YRBF1irL8kUnHEa0ClgJuaXkU1GNQIjksQPqiRmanDFKdc7nKgv_xFEM13navgt_UM_xRCSGZFCvliH0sFL6OsIa0_iCIeP8dPc/s1080/Lovely%20Lilies%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQbcZ4zY2FJ07kbn-8b_VvvCry99NSuAh9PNhw9NG98sVCGeU25WmX_K4rJ7c2yRAWl7nea8_RGh2Z6uxTEItD8YRBF1irL8kUnHEa0ClgJuaXkU1GNQIjksQPqiRmanDFKdc7nKgv_xFEM13navgt_UM_xRCSGZFCvliH0sFL6OsIa0_iCIeP8dPc/w430-h430/Lovely%20Lilies%201.jpg" width="430" /></a><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />I colored the lily with oranges and yellows from my new colored pencils set, Caran D'Anche Pablo. This was my first time using them and, although I will always love my Prisma pencils, these are definitely giving them some competition. They were super easy to use, the colors are bright, and blended quite well. Pablo pencils have a harder lead than Prismacolors so it was a little easier to get details, especially</span> around the stamen of the flowers.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi65Gv0PF9j28A4D5cksvP2LPgdllMtMksUUvWTySt1xf5X3feQAKmIvbhsiT82heELXRqvOuZjE3EfZxoeTsk1yv6GzLbGeU71ZgTYB7v5RTlmiTa-JQVQbF2u2TuaJn3CG-S7Oa-0fsCWpAw2-xBob1i_aUP0o9VYfoknLiwwTK2fWeL-9yVWD8r9/s1080/Lovely%20Lilies%201%20close%20up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Today marks a new challenge at <a href="https://halloweencraftsallyearround.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Halloween Crafts All Year 'Round</a> and I'm excited to be joining them as a guest designer for this current challenge. I love Halloween and I think its fun to pull out some Halloween stamps right around the time that most people are finishing up with easter cards. </p><p>For my card, I used a fun monster stamp and colored him with alcohol markers. I added a little frame around him for some dimension and a halloween themed paper in the back ground. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ4yWwNWq41H7yNYLfbTfwj8mcjsbtIwcpt204Uosfe8WUyYUYsbRnL7dzwj3yacYfdWxs4ZkNurNg4eBrMImc8jHmuFuEuc4HbOUzG9ScXArWCNAZ4nzveHnWMKBQ9Bb7lKiXqQ-ijPIE0XQRDsL5_c9ImECOWkZxj_1KuBrbXTScBAR6TRNd9wL0/s3024/D069989D-9CCF-4134-9FD0-59EC12446A3B_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ4yWwNWq41H7yNYLfbTfwj8mcjsbtIwcpt204Uosfe8WUyYUYsbRnL7dzwj3yacYfdWxs4ZkNurNg4eBrMImc8jHmuFuEuc4HbOUzG9ScXArWCNAZ4nzveHnWMKBQ9Bb7lKiXqQ-ijPIE0XQRDsL5_c9ImECOWkZxj_1KuBrbXTScBAR6TRNd9wL0/w464-h464/D069989D-9CCF-4134-9FD0-59EC12446A3B_1_201_a.jpeg" width="464" /></a></div>The <a href="https://halloweencraftsallyearround.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Halloween Crafts all Year 'Round</a> is a fairly new challenge so I'd love it if you joined the challenge and shared it with your crafty friends!

I've posted cards made with this Gnome Matter What stamp set from Simon Says Stamp before but I keep going back to it. I guess that means I like it 😆 I colored the gnome with alcohol markers and stamped the sentiment in a dark blue. After I already had the card front made, I realized that it would have been cuter if I'd made the center part of the card into a shaker. THEN I realized that I still had the brand new A2 Acetate Shaker sheets from the Rabbit Hole Design sitting on my desk from the project I was working on earlier. It is so fast to turn any A2 card front into a shaker! I finished it by adding a blue sequin mix. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmEFaesHd_RAFR-CeB2rzMHftuNw7AUE-3Z9dVLtxJvB2VFysPd6vVB9jGfHWojmMhIr35a4EvzCQP-krzHGX-vLXKuvaebxT-eOAPw05QcvKu_vvT_rbMbgv-D5OBydCFeg3c0MoGrIzrBqr029eFBcyko_tC0y8jLnnhcQ1Fk6LTH7Zl49yKOH8c/s3024/794602F5-3F9C-4507-9582-F43F6C23D01B_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="521" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmEFaesHd_RAFR-CeB2rzMHftuNw7AUE-3Z9dVLtxJvB2VFysPd6vVB9jGfHWojmMhIr35a4EvzCQP-krzHGX-vLXKuvaebxT-eOAPw05QcvKu_vvT_rbMbgv-D5OBydCFeg3c0MoGrIzrBqr029eFBcyko_tC0y8jLnnhcQ1Fk6LTH7Zl49yKOH8c/w521-h521/794602F5-3F9C-4507-9582-F43F6C23D01B_1_201_a.jpeg" width="521" /></a></div>I hope you'll join us at <a href="http://getcreativechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Get Creative Challenges</a> for the challenge this month!

As always, the beginning of the month brings the start of a new challenge at <a href="https://onceuponatimechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog</a>. If you haven't heard of this challenge before, it is super fun and I love it. The theme every month is a different children's book. The challenge is to make a card (or other craft project) that is inspired by the current book cover. I think the reason I love this challenge so much is because my kids are all too old for me to read bedtime stories to anymore and the books in this challenge are often very nostalgic for me. This month the book is Corduroy by Don Freeman and was originally written in 1968. I can't even begin to guess how many times I've read this book to my all three of my kids. I think there was probably a time when I barely needed the words because it was committed to my memory. </p><p>I decided to mimic the cover of the book by using a bear dressed in green and with a red background. The bear stamp and sentiment are both from <a href="https://thestampsoflife.com" target="_blank">The Stamps of Life</a>, although they came from two different stamp sets.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2i9UOtGbe0qYKa97Hd2DJXeEJSmGH2_5PrGY_TNqOJe4Jr0gGjp5n63OLlNBHTTH01TW3LrMEpRXBLLF0QzDdp9M130SR0ELiQlahw-_DSMlvY50eO6XIgzts4tLjY-eSf4Q4aSGW84Ck1tpa42r3d-wTK3VjMu9gJx0639ZehHtwudxDCKRiXhlv/s2719/6C097EF7-E4EC-43DC-9007-29334362B88F_1_201_a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2719" data-original-width="2719" height="449" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2i9UOtGbe0qYKa97Hd2DJXeEJSmGH2_5PrGY_TNqOJe4Jr0gGjp5n63OLlNBHTTH01TW3LrMEpRXBLLF0QzDdp9M130SR0ELiQlahw-_DSMlvY50eO6XIgzts4tLjY-eSf4Q4aSGW84Ck1tpa42r3d-wTK3VjMu9gJx0639ZehHtwudxDCKRiXhlv/w449-h449/6C097EF7-E4EC-43DC-9007-29334362B88F_1_201_a.jpeg" width="449" /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOppEnCn9QYRrzeqhoSeKbs7Q96xMw3PVj-mWgOykmWLr_UvxM8b87S5WpnsuDrzsuaIhuYaDl4Wr24xVWI_1yeshiDo6VfpWyoqwssgOmtfw9b83xUJNfrGd4hLLAvlS_y-8ayA8IQxQC16QZjmenRwVaf2b8ZEWqCyRnuFQmB0spu6meqZGK_C3v/s334/Corduroy_book_cover.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="298" data-original-width="334" height="411" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOppEnCn9QYRrzeqhoSeKbs7Q96xMw3PVj-mWgOykmWLr_UvxM8b87S5WpnsuDrzsuaIhuYaDl4Wr24xVWI_1yeshiDo6VfpWyoqwssgOmtfw9b83xUJNfrGd4hLLAvlS_y-8ayA8IQxQC16QZjmenRwVaf2b8ZEWqCyRnuFQmB0spu6meqZGK_C3v/w460-h411/Corduroy_book_cover.jpeg" width="460" /></a></div><br /></div>I hope you'll join us this month for the challenge at <a href="https://onceuponatimechallenges.blogspot.com">Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog</a>!

I couldn't decide which card I wanted to post so I will post two😁<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">For this first card, I used the </span><a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/stamps/products/i-really-dig-you-4x6" style="font-family: Oxygen;" target="_blank">I REALLY DIG YOU 4x6</a><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"> stamp set from </span><a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com" style="font-family: Oxygen;" target="_blank">The Rabbit Hole Designs</a><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">, illustrated by </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/agotapopillustration/" style="font-family: Oxygen;" target="_blank">Agota Pop</a><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">. Using the cooradinating dies, I cut out the meerkat that I'd colored with Prismacolor Pencils and popped it up with some foam tape for a little dimension. The flowers and sentiment are from the same stamp set. I made the background using the new </span><a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/dies-stencils/products/torn-paper-4x8-stencil" style="font-family: Oxygen;" target="_blank">TORN PAPER</a><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"> stencil, also from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I blended blue and purple inks to make a colorful yet simple background.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS4vwplCbwafabgPG_3-BhDbWbFj6t0p9rN0Xxq3TqEJIea5Xcn3EA2cGCKN4RZoZYKrVZRkpQzSdRzVyZqNP4pkAaHEW8CJX-5sM-g18NBHAYOrKnLMQuzKj5xVIuEPYdAz1xDWjtFVBuYoBOpuLQ1RJTTK5uOCpJmwO83-Hh-zfqvp4XkkidYEcQ/s1080/meerkat%20popping%20up%20to%20say%20hi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Oxygen;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="497" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS4vwplCbwafabgPG_3-BhDbWbFj6t0p9rN0Xxq3TqEJIea5Xcn3EA2cGCKN4RZoZYKrVZRkpQzSdRzVyZqNP4pkAaHEW8CJX-5sM-g18NBHAYOrKnLMQuzKj5xVIuEPYdAz1xDWjtFVBuYoBOpuLQ1RJTTK5uOCpJmwO83-Hh-zfqvp4XkkidYEcQ/w497-h497/meerkat%20popping%20up%20to%20say%20hi.jpg" width="497" /></span></a></div><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">For my 2nd card, I used the MEANINGFUL MEERKATS 4X6 stamp set from <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com" target="_blank">The Rabbit Hole Designs</a>, illustrated by<a href="https://www.instagram.com/agotapopillustration/" target="_blank"> Agota Pop</a>. I think all of the meerkats in this release are so sweet and pretty! For the background, I used the new <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/dies-stencils/products/beam-of-light-4x8-stencil-1" target="_blank">BEAM OF LIGHT STENCIL</a> and paired it with an older stencil from The Rabbit Hole Designs called <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/dies-stencils/products/mesh-optical-illusion-6x6-stencil" target="_blank">MESH-OPTICAL ILLUSION</a>. I really like the texture I got from using both stencils together. And of course I can't forget to mention my new favorite product, the <a href="https://therabbitholedesigns.com/collections/crafters-essentials?sort_by=created-descending" target="_blank">ACETATE SHAKER SHEETS</a>.

The theme this month is hearts. I didn't want to make a Valentine's Day card so I decided to use hearts as the background. I had already colored the purple floral images so that part was done. I used an embossing folder to make the heart background and added a Happy Birthday sentiment. With a purple layer behind everything, this card turned out exactly as I had in mind. That's unusual for me.

If time keeps flying by like this, we will be done with 2023 in the blink of an eye. My favorite thing about the 1st day of the month is the new challenge at <a href="https://onceuponatimechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog</a>! This month the book is <i>My Heart </i>by Corinna Luyken. As always, the challenge is to create a card using the book cover as inspiration. </p><p>For my card, I made a background from ink blending a few different gray inks. Then with the darkest of the gray inks, I stamped a silhouette of some grass and flowers. I actually think it turned out pretty similar to the book cover. My next step was to search through my stamp sets to see if I had anything that would remind me of a little kid in yellow overalls with a little yellow heart. I actually found one of a little boy pulling a star in a wagon that I thought would work perfectly. I've had this stamp set in my stash for several years and have never used it. I love challenges that make me search through my stash and find all the hidden treasure. The sentiment says "Follow your dreams, they know the way". </p><p> I'm really happy with how this card turned out and I already have a recipient in mind for it. We took several trips with our Italian exchange student last year and I bought charms that commemorate each trip. I'm going to send them on the one year anniversary of each trip. In February of last year we went to Disney World so I'm sending her a charm of Cinderella's pumpkin carriage. It's especially cute because I call her my little zucca, which means pumpkin in Italian. My daughter and I get matching charms so its fun to match with our favorite Italian, even from across the world. In March, she'll get a Nashville charm and in April, an Arizona charm. This card is perfect because the sentiment is really sweet and can be for any occasion. </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Awl2t5kwhex-7e1U0bY_OXTJVlch5w2aOFyPHSn6zGPtaXzn68XDVeGnJ3WhUi0ezUr9UMKipeqsLEijm8k3sDXuQ33FnYDhnn_TtzsylHQ0aGsadg04KquoJYlRgBAZmhHs8uVWDgMjScU4kIuS6asJ7wUMSh5BWpCsYrjgYVvYOpzyMmyu39ae/s3024/my%20heart%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3Awl2t5kwhex-7e1U0bY_OXTJVlch5w2aOFyPHSn6zGPtaXzn68XDVeGnJ3WhUi0ezUr9UMKipeqsLEijm8k3sDXuQ33FnYDhnn_TtzsylHQ0aGsadg04KquoJYlRgBAZmhHs8uVWDgMjScU4kIuS6asJ7wUMSh5BWpCsYrjgYVvYOpzyMmyu39ae/s320/my%20heart%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiserYiLhGW9szrXkEQPqMAiXnAOleGWnqxh9NvWZavVZCEGudvIle1i2Dj-UXmWaL-HNFVyT53Z4M-75O4pfmgPX2_F8qVCVMwlGt0Mu_BZkeD1KG9Cgg_-OC6vItPVnorvAMTeWRIjS6Lz4StJQ9rHtvyTEW4bvCPuLZ-tg_o8qcyBWUb5KjPxTMe/s3024/my%20heart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiserYiLhGW9szrXkEQPqMAiXnAOleGWnqxh9NvWZavVZCEGudvIle1i2Dj-UXmWaL-HNFVyT53Z4M-75O4pfmgPX2_F8qVCVMwlGt0Mu_BZkeD1KG9Cgg_-OC6vItPVnorvAMTeWRIjS6Lz4StJQ9rHtvyTEW4bvCPuLZ-tg_o8qcyBWUb5KjPxTMe/s320/my%20heart.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpHonjHfRGhAb-RMfCKtNJQWJGAvBz0vr1--LnTm3NVXmYfSEfcWnOgzP8yJ3vjXaviBb6okUP234wScVIVn41FApN_ubmnqnNPggd7f8plkXCJ55FLfAAgixMjvtgJjNv2Za979zjWsBTxegIukjxpFn2wFKYlwcnR3Okn1D3ja0dGrTUP0G-wS_6/s400/my%20heart%20book.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpHonjHfRGhAb-RMfCKtNJQWJGAvBz0vr1--LnTm3NVXmYfSEfcWnOgzP8yJ3vjXaviBb6okUP234wScVIVn41FApN_ubmnqnNPggd7f8plkXCJ55FLfAAgixMjvtgJjNv2Za979zjWsBTxegIukjxpFn2wFKYlwcnR3Okn1D3ja0dGrTUP0G-wS_6/s320/my%20heart%20book.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />I hope you'll join in on the challenge this month at <a href="https://onceuponatimechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog</a>.

I joined the design team in June so I've been lucky enough to participate in half of the challenges and I've really enjoyed each of them 💕</p><p>As part of the birthday celebrations, the theme for Challenge #13 is Party Time. You can use any party theme you want, there are so many possibilities! It could be birthday, New Year's, wedding, baby shower, anniversary, or anything else that you could throw a party for. My mind goes to pool party, graduation party or going away party because I'm planning a combo of the three for my exchange student in just a few months. There are so many options for this theme that it is hard to choose one!</p><p>For my card, I used the stamp set Bunny Ballet from The Rabbit Hole Designs. My daughter saw this stamp set a few weeks ago and asked me to make a birthday card for her friend. Her friend happens to be a ballerina and have a pet rabbit so this stamp set couldn't be more perfect. And with the Party Time challenge at <a href="https://paperdragonflycreativechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenge</a>s, the timing was also perfect.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_zNgEelQU9syzjaSswcBBWR1Fa0OrNKWGo8f1fhgfU0NJ0MPvy8B8Nww6mDot5tFeI5K5ApLe8NMUnnK4_qygPh5DuEtxJxFpYxbGFRXn76rdnkTzfiVBgzK1Qvwx7ahmb0_0MS1t1m2ZJAZ1shTUKgxcihQCM5qwvhdEUu1wnKUhlV0-hqRMNxwA/s2754/January%20Party%20copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2754" data-original-width="2754" height="457" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_zNgEelQU9syzjaSswcBBWR1Fa0OrNKWGo8f1fhgfU0NJ0MPvy8B8Nww6mDot5tFeI5K5ApLe8NMUnnK4_qygPh5DuEtxJxFpYxbGFRXn76rdnkTzfiVBgzK1Qvwx7ahmb0_0MS1t1m2ZJAZ1shTUKgxcihQCM5qwvhdEUu1wnKUhlV0-hqRMNxwA/w457-h457/January%20Party%20copy.jpg" width="457" /></a></div><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFj1bJwvRLiI4uNmDceqwN2Q2QJpnvVNByUdmjIx8S1AMyg5ebRAchZjerEYwk_Bxs-6yJ7PK32PnyWkUp6ibt_eDLIxFKZlOsyQIUJWtczXsYEGr1uFiDW4j8i9D5YhllyJVSuLXZcTgZtSsVetuvIy5kptVxWm2p-_xWz2LW8eT_tAXavHHTt1sj/s1080/January%20Badge%2013.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFj1bJwvRLiI4uNmDceqwN2Q2QJpnvVNByUdmjIx8S1AMyg5ebRAchZjerEYwk_Bxs-6yJ7PK32PnyWkUp6ibt_eDLIxFKZlOsyQIUJWtczXsYEGr1uFiDW4j8i9D5YhllyJVSuLXZcTgZtSsVetuvIy5kptVxWm2p-_xWz2LW8eT_tAXavHHTt1sj/s320/January%20Badge%2013.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br />I hope you'll join the challenge at <a href="https://paperdragonflycreativechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Paper Dragonfly Creative Challenges</a> this month.

It's hard to believe that we are in the year 2023! Since it's the first of the month, that means a new challenge is starting today at <a href="https://onceuponatimechallenges.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Once Upon a Time Challenge Blog</a>! This month's book is <i>The Snowy Day</i> by Ezra Jack Keats. It's a cute story about a little boy excited to play in the snow. The inspiration for my card comes from the snowy hill and footsteps on the cover. I used a border die to create a hill and blended some pink, blue and green ink to look similar, but not exact, to the cover of the book. I used a stamp set from The Stamps of Life for the fox and his cute little paw prints. The inside says "it's your birthday" and I stamped another set of paw prints across the inside corner. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0NA8uKYr4tN22qvumgKVnUntCSWm1UXrb2AQ3kvSugzHenT9v0fFBcvXoaM00zQRbMf0WuGtQGPxxSB4z-Otqr2LR7RpeRHy5ChyFAGIaLQuuF5e6N6qMPp4npzT_fySrZW4B1SaWd1IwyBJaq0u6Zezybd9rIzyE59PJRxu0-qGn7aKazAWv88w9/s1759/Snowy%20Day.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1758" data-original-width="1759" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0NA8uKYr4tN22qvumgKVnUntCSWm1UXrb2AQ3kvSugzHenT9v0fFBcvXoaM00zQRbMf0WuGtQGPxxSB4z-Otqr2LR7RpeRHy5ChyFAGIaLQuuF5e6N6qMPp4npzT_fySrZW4B1SaWd1IwyBJaq0u6Zezybd9rIzyE59PJRxu0-qGn7aKazAWv88w9/s320/Snowy%20Day.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLgy4R7QnVQwyGIxyM3l6eYPCBI_WKQn1BPE5o3GM-GE8FJjRvvqs4WifXjLjklrF-KAq5cSw5iy6Vvd2YOmmr--AY-ChquUdjNHHT1bqJWxYQjW7oEc2xip-Tk_PYpOkohPTgZrKN8Wj81nFNTWFn1O7YG3r65GRhmMxQ5rehOYcsUf-A-v2JISq0/s3024/IMG_5655.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLgy4R7QnVQwyGIxyM3l6eYPCBI_WKQn1BPE5o3GM-GE8FJjRvvqs4WifXjLjklrF-KAq5cSw5iy6Vvd2YOmmr--AY-ChquUdjNHHT1bqJWxYQjW7oEc2xip-Tk_PYpOkohPTgZrKN8Wj81nFNTWFn1O7YG3r65GRhmMxQ5rehOYcsUf-A-v2JISq0/s320/IMG_5655.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdvKr3lQBvPzirrVUz2s44exNiwQyL5eyyyU-8UikE2veVb4o8WZKUDLuCuyGfDlZQMGEQ5pB1NTkMblVehJ0fZGHYgZ_73HLOPv1_pJ1ZuV-4Oi4NeA2nyPaI-_L3jfPPdB4YQvryU2muEI_qJzMvfNO4Y95EW7WGYNX24qbiiudDQQYDJvnpP9ym/s428/The%20Snowy%20Day%20Boook.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="428" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdvKr3lQBvPzirrVUz2s44exNiwQyL5eyyyU-8UikE2veVb4o8WZKUDLuCuyGfDlZQMGEQ5pB1NTkMblVehJ0fZGHYgZ_73HLOPv1_pJ1ZuV-4Oi4NeA2nyPaI-_L3jfPPdB4YQvryU2muEI_qJzMvfNO4Y95EW7WGYNX24qbiiudDQQYDJvnpP9ym/s320/The%20Snowy%20Day%20Boook.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope you'll join us for the challenge this month!

We're moving right along in the alphabet and the letter this time around is T. The theme is "T is for Thank You." I've been needing to make an ocean themed thank you card for a friend so this was great timing! I thought this floral whale stamp from The Rabbit Hole Designs was perfect for this challenge. I used pencils to color it and fussy cut around the image. I stamped some of the flowers and leaves included in the stamp set in a line across the middle of a white card base and colored them with pencils. Then I used a border die to create borders across the middle of the card. Lastly, I popped the sentiment and the whale up for some dimension. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1HlTE9Eha1asoyO8I-InZDYZQBpTRNaeYUqKwq0SyXFLcexdw91B7SySZXnepRYHjvjBvEcF8r9x4EShYE6Hbmfh4wkUDv88kl8GcCNA2byngmteyfJ1nWOEaErUjw8odmabOMmZv3B7-qJnnlTRpJmdVhQFvyduDEAZrbdcc9yWsF1BQzMp76Gr9/s2047/T%20is%20for%20Thanks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2047" data-original-width="2046" height="395" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1HlTE9Eha1asoyO8I-InZDYZQBpTRNaeYUqKwq0SyXFLcexdw91B7SySZXnepRYHjvjBvEcF8r9x4EShYE6Hbmfh4wkUDv88kl8GcCNA2byngmteyfJ1nWOEaErUjw8odmabOMmZv3B7-qJnnlTRpJmdVhQFvyduDEAZrbdcc9yWsF1BQzMp76Gr9/w395-h395/T%20is%20for%20Thanks.jpg" width="395" /></a></div>I hope you'll join the challenge at <a href="https://alphabetchallengeblog.blogspot.com" target="_blank">The Alphabet Challenge Blog</a>!

I created an extra challenge for myself by deciding I was going to use whatever was in the unopened kit from Pink and Main that I had on my desk. When I opened it, I was a little worried that I wasn't going to be able to make anything cute using the colors from the color challenge combined with the wintery stamp set in the kit. I'm actually pleased with how it turned out though! I used the mitten stamps and colored with markers that I mix and matched from all different brands to find the right colors. I did a very simple coloring job, no blending or shading. The embossing folder and snowflake die came in the kit, I used a circle die that I already had and it fit the snowflake perfectly. Now I'm excited to go back and use this stamp set with the colors that were included in the kit! </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9HZoKU7GJe5QlOwHlv0PAdQqkelUcJByzMtAG2QCV24yvDT26qTqqpPwzuGDWpKufJ9fOuHpWPsWh28K4ptiQotWcQDuJs-l-VAPGPYbWc8b4wE1agA4IzMnul51KjduQRxEIYABs3MzpmLNGtRW-0rnjikOwIvon5plljWJHflOkXXnpi59jufX8/s2470/ssc299.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2469" data-original-width="2470" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9HZoKU7GJe5QlOwHlv0PAdQqkelUcJByzMtAG2QCV24yvDT26qTqqpPwzuGDWpKufJ9fOuHpWPsWh28K4ptiQotWcQDuJs-l-VAPGPYbWc8b4wE1agA4IzMnul51KjduQRxEIYABs3MzpmLNGtRW-0rnjikOwIvon5plljWJHflOkXXnpi59jufX8/s320/ssc299.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHzHoi2Mb9GeT6P3Y8m-XOfriubk0taEHxaGlO8TafZs7-_CkG_xPB1uNO743NNVw8ur5OW74SRWCNbLPCo4c75oEKN5IitgZEWqcBYLXXMLdAG9Pg4z-7ogZiSlA8bHwEAUZ6-1mAgnkAB7sq7Z4CaiOYdHOOjWQQ60bp97kXY0Jsba2OV_M1Ka--/s1600/SSC299.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHzHoi2Mb9GeT6P3Y8m-XOfriubk0taEHxaGlO8TafZs7-_CkG_xPB1uNO743NNVw8ur5OW74SRWCNbLPCo4c75oEKN5IitgZEWqcBYLXXMLdAG9Pg4z-7ogZiSlA8bHwEAUZ6-1mAgnkAB7sq7Z4CaiOYdHOOjWQQ60bp97kXY0Jsba2OV_M1Ka--/s320/SSC299.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>I hope you'll join us at <a href="http://sundaystamps.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Sunday Stamp</a>s for this color challenge!
