This is a spunky, fresh color combo. I thought this crisp look played nicely for gratitude today 🙂 !I made a second card. This sentiment gets such a workout on my desk. 😉

I thought the sentiment from Penguins in Paradise paired well with this little cutie Penguin from BB Toastly Greetings.Just makes me say awwwwwww. 🙂

My Favorite Things: Sketch #256

MFT Sketch Challenge #256 begins today on the My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration Blog! Be sure to check out Susan’s post at cardchallenges.com to see what the rest of the DT made. I can’t wait to see myself! Always such fun to see everyone’s takes and read about them.

This week’s sketch:Here is my card for the week: Sometimes, you just need a laughable card. 🙂

Hopefully the design gets the laugh across 🙂 . The sketch shows feathers— I saw marshmallows. 😉I thought I would share this photo. I made another card series for friends and family because they helped me with some fundraising. This card design was for MFT Color Challenge #29. Check out that post HERE.

It is fun to see them all together after. 🙂

Lawn Fawn & Caring Hearts…

The problem with cardmaking:There are so many fun products to use! 🙂 I have missed using one of my favorites, Lawn Fawn. So I got these little penguins out because I wanted to make a couple more cards for The Caring Hearts Card Drive. My crafty friend Vera Yates is embarking on her 6th year hosting this card drive. What an undertaking! Vera is surely brightening the holidays for many, many people. Be sure to check out the info and get your cards in the mail yesterday!! The deadline is this week! ❤

Here is one of my finished cards. I’m mailing all my cards tomorrow! 🙂

I usually go with gray penguins, but I thought I’d mix it up. They are also sparkly in person. 🙂 I am also happy because of the current Lawnscaping Challenge #118! Hooray! Be sure to check it out. 🙂 I enjoy a fun challenge! 🙂

Lawn Fawn supplies: Winter Penguin, Love ‘n Breakfast. 😉

My Favorite Things: Sketch #255

MFT Sketch Challenge #255 begins today on the My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration Blog! Hope you can find some crafty time and join us! There is a MFT Gift Card waiting to be had! 🙂

This week’s sketch:

Here is my take this week:

I thought this was a fun and WAY different color combo for me. I flipped the sketch, swapped the rectangle for a circle, and put it all together! 🙂I didn’t get around to making a second Sketch card this week. I’ve been trying to get a little ahead and also making MANY cards for friends and family that have been kind enough to help me on my fundraising efforts. I’m so grateful. 🙂

I originally made a card almost identical to these for Sketch #245. 🙂 I’ve made and completed just these cards, so far. They look awesome together! This is typically not my thing, to make many of the same card. But for the right cause(s), I did it! I think the best part is designing the cards and picking the products, so I rarely make doubles+ etc. 😉

My Warm Wishes card is made with the following supplies at My Favorite Things:

MFT Color Challenge #33

Color Challenge #33 is on the My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration blog!

I’m really enjoyed working with this combo because it evokes such coziness. Hence my cards for this Challenge:

This card makes me oh so happy! The new Chunky Chevron Cover up is AWESOME. Just so cool. The possibilities! 🙂

For this card, I cut the cover up out of Sweet Tooth and then inlaid all the pieces. After, I overlaid the hollow Steel Gray cover up in the opposite direction. I shrieked a bit! Die cutting and stamping are definitely my happy. 🙂

I made another card with this combo, this time using the chevron pieces only 🙂

Again, The Snuggle is Real. I keep joking I may need an intervention to stop using these two products. Of course, I’m kidding. Or am I? Haaaaa! 🙂

This color combo just says: Winter. 🙂

My first card is make with the following supplies by My Favorite Things:

 

My second card was made with the following supplies by My Favorite Things:

My Favorite Things: Sketch #254

MFT Sketch Challenge #254 drifts on in to the My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration Blog today!! Join us!

This week’s sketch: I really like this week’s sketch! 🙂Here is my take this week:Eggplant, grays, hot cocoa with marshmallows…and The Snuggle is Real. ❤ I could not wait to use this sentiment again, and again, and again… 🙂 Plus, I’ve always loved that banner type piece from Blueprints #25. Geometrically fun!

Oh goodness, I am so so very happy MFT has introduced the two new GRAYS! They compliment the existing ones I use so often. I am trying hard not to order a back up pack of each gray. I believe this is a common crafter problem, right? A version of hoarding your supplies you most adore. So silly! 🙂

My Snuggle card is made with the following supplies at My Favorite Things:

 

I’ll be back tomorrow with TWO cards for the new Color Challenge!!  🙂

My Favorite Things: Simplicity

Sometimes you just need to make a card, and you need to be on the quicker side. That was the case here. These MFT Party Patterns stamps are a go-to for something like this.

I inked the stamps, then wiped them off with a cloth. I thought it gave a fun touch. 🙂 Something a little different, but keeping this one quick and simple. I completely enjoy spending and hour + on a card when time permits, but sometimes, you just gotta rock it out. Plus, I can’t resist a one layer card…or a rainbow! 😉There is still a smidge of time to get in on the MFT Sketch Challenge #253! Don’t forget to upload your card! See you back here tomorrow for the new MFT Sketch! My card is made with the following supplies at My Favorite Things:

 

Tuesdays on the MFT Challenge and Inspiration blog are fun!! That’s TODAY! <–Go see the fabulous finds!! 🙂
