Blog candy of a different sort....

I just ran across a blog candy that I find unusual, and wish I had room for - so I'm telling you about it. go check out Little Musings right now and see what she has up for grabs! They are adorable. I just simply don't have room for them myself, or I'd be signed up!

Anyway, the drawing happens quickly and you are responsible for the shipping costs, but where else could you get an original piece of art like this for free?!

TSB - The Stamping Boutique

Here's another card with the cute boots and fall leaves! Stamping Boutique has some great images - go check them out!

Hands off the candy! WMC73

I am entering this into the Wee Memories Anything Goes Challenge .


I think this is a cute little Stamping Boutique image, and since I have made several trips to get candy for Halloween, it's quite appropriate too!

Birthday card for friend....

Here's a birthday card I made for a friend who's birthday is just before Halloween! I just couldn't resist this cute cupcake image from Limited Runs! Thanks Nikki!

D2D freebie image use!

Here's a cute little card using the pumpkins image from Designed2Delight this past week.

I saw this phrase, and totally agree with it!

And I love the spiderweb background papers I had.

Card Cupids Orange challenge

Here's my entry into the Card Cupids Orange challenge using The Stamping Boutique image. Doesn't that just make your mouth water? And would make a great Thanksgiving card (remember how some smartie says, "grace" instead of a blessing sometimes? Well, I included it already).

The winner of this challenge gets some Bugaboo images, so that's a great incentive too! Goes until Oct 22, I think - Check it out.

First things first....

Here are a couple of quick cards I made for the newest challenge at Designed2Delight. I love this freebie image and I intend to use it a lot!! I make tons of cards for our local fundraisers for breast cancer and also just some for survivors in general and this is a great image. Thanks!

Go check out the challenge and join in!

But I just got back this afternoon and I have tons to catch up on - give me a couple days and I'll have many more projects I'm sure!!

Still on vacation...

so no cards for right now.

I'm enjoying Florida and visiting with my Mom and Mel.
Mom had a great birthday, we got her new computer all set up and running.

Now I'm just relaxing for a few more days before heading back home. Miss hubby and my cute Dahlia. I have worked on a few pieces for cards, so may get a few up fairly quickly upon my reutrn.

The color Orange....GL#26

The challenge at
GingerLoft today is the color orange.

I happen to like this fall color, so it's easy-peasy for me. But I especially loved using it in the color of socks on display!

Come join in the fun and participate!

You have until Oct 15 at midnight. Then the top 3 will chosen and also random winners will get 3 digis from the GingerLoft store.

Thousand sheets of paper...

OKay, I've now joined the hundreds and hundreds who are trying to win this paper! Didn't know about it? Check it out Here

Dahlia Anne

Dahlia Anne got to meet her other Great Grandma recently. And she loved having all that attention!

Since this picture was taken she's had a first tooth pop through! And over the weekend she was walking all over the living room with just holding on with one hand. She's 8 months old now.

GingerLoft Vintage

Today's Challenge at GingerLoft is Vintage/Distressed.

And this is the little card I made. I always seem to need sympathy cards (don't we all) and I think this is a little more masculine so I'm glad to include it in my stash! I hope I don't have to use it for a while though.

This clock/leaf image is just perfect. And it would be a great image for a "fall" back daylight savings card too with those cute fall leaf faces.

Digi Darla entry

Here's my entry into the challenge over at Digi Darla's.

I decided to use both new freebie images for this card, as it was fitting the title and reason for the card! And, I hadn't made a shaped card in a while, and I love them.

Edited to add: I won with this card over at Digi Darla's!

reason for more cards... and I've made another DT team!!

Hi Everyone.

I had a lovely follower comment about me being on a roll with making more cards, and I must say that's true partly, but I've been making lots all the time, just not photographing them. And I've been trying to stock up a little on pieces by coloring as I go, just not assembling the cards.

I have made a few more cards since I'm not babysitting that lovely little granddaughter now also. We've had some big events - some of my in-laws came to visit last week (first time for that Great Grandma to get to see Dahlia!) and I'm also getting ready for my 40th High School reunion next weekend (and that is really scary!)

But I'm glad she noticed!

And one final bit of news -- I made the DT for The Stamping Boutique!! Just found out today! And I'm very excited.

Here's a card I made for the Nutcrafter's Challenge #1. This was a freebie image and so cute. This is not actually their first challenge, but it is since they re-opened.

They have some cute prizes, and this challenge runs until September 27 - so you still have plenty of time to participate. Get the freebie and join in!

CDAC

Here's the second card I've made for the CDAC Progressive Challenge.

OLW64

This is for the OLw64 CHALLENGE. I think my favorite cards are CAS or One Layer. It's a go-to for me. And this is such an adorable fall image, and my sister in law needed a card! What can I say!

Challenge - Back to School

Here's another card for the Back to School Challenge at Designed2Delight.

Naturally most people think of kids when thinking of back to school, but in our community, there are more and more going back at a Much Older Age. I wanted them included too!

Thanks for coming by to check it out!

I'm on a new team...

First things first, I want to announce that I'm a new DT team member of GingerLoft Designs. Please come back and look for a new posting on September 18th for the Vintage Challenge, and every two weeks thereafter.
Or just go to the Blog to check things out! There are lots of other members making some great cards!

Also, here's a card I made for the Designed2Delight Challenge.

2 Challenges - Wow for me!

This first card is using a freebie image from Ginger Loft, and it's for their challenge.

And if you used this image, you are supposed to get another freebie by email. Can't beat a deal like that!

And the second card is using a newest image from Designed2Delight.

Both images are so cute, and fit in perfectly with a couple of cards that I needed to send to some relatives for fall! I'm way behind on that type of correspondence!
