Doodlebug Tree Card

 This is my version of a CAS card that I saw here. Not much to tell as what you see is what you get.

I've actually had this done for awhile, but I kept forgetting to take a picture of it. I really liked the tree on the sticker sheet I bought, but I didn't know what to do with it really, until I saw the picture I linked. Adding the Gelly Stardust Glitter pen line really helps to set it off, doesn't it?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I have a couple of holiday cards to share so come back soon.

Scandanavian Wishes with a Fall Feel

The Broncos have a bye week this week, so I was fine with listening to football instead of watching. And that means I have cards to share with you! Yay!

This card uses the October Stamp of the Month from CTMH again, Scandanavian Wishes. I saw this card while searching for the gatefold card I posted previously. I was struck by the colors in the card that inspired today's card and wanted to try my hand at it using colors in my stash.

I played around and used Ruby, Sunflower and Topiary inks and cardstock colors. I also used a piece of pattern paper from Doodlebug's Happy Harvest.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Harvest Cards

I made these cards last week and never had the chance to sit down and edit them. Not that I do much in the way of editing, but I do have to have access to my computer and that didn't happen much while the girls were home. While the girls were not home, I was busy with other things. Sigh. Well, I got the pictures edited to today. Yay!

This first card is based on one I saw on display at Archiver's recently. I thought it was so cute, and it uses Happy Harvest Doodlebug paper and their new product Pixie Sticks. I snagged those with a coupon. Yay!

I just loved the hillside of flowers. And the fun tree colors. And that little birdie perched in the tree(popped up with a pop dot). So fun!

I hand drew the hills, cut it out, inked the edges with brown ink to give it a little dimension. I debated whether to put a sentiment on, but decided to leave it off until I use the card. 

This next card is inspired by this adorable one made by Kay Miller.

I wanted a scarecrow like that one she used, but I didn't have the stamp set(nor do I have the set with the birch trees, darn). Then I came across this post and had my image from Whimsie Doodles. It's a freebie, too! Love it when that happens.

My scarecrow is colored with colored pencils and odorless mineral spirits. He is pretty cute, if I do say so myself. The sentiment is from Doodlebug's Happy Harvest icons sheet and the birdie is from a long sticker sheet. I tried to see if I could add something else to fill up a little of that open space on the circle, but I'm not creative enough to figure out just what would go well. So, I have an open space on the card. Maybe I should have moved it down toward the middle of the card. Ah heck, it is what it is. That's the great thing about digital stamps, you can always print another one and try again if you want. Yay!

Thanks for stopping by. 

I hope you are enjoying Fall!

Gonna have another post up soon!

Hello! Owl and Dotty Birthday Cards

This first card has been sitting on my desk for a week or so. I got it done and took a picture, but didn't take the time to edit it until today. Then I saw there was a small scrap of paper laying right on top of the background paper. Ooops. Had to take a new photo. Looks better. 

Anyway, saw this design on Pinterest here and thought it was adorable.

Here's my take on it. Using Doodlebug Happy Harvest with a smidge of kraft paper. The pearls are from Michaels if I remember correctly. Those owls sure are cute!

Then I saw this card on Pinterest as well and had to create my own stamped version. I showed Jessica and she thought the dots were a paper, not stamped. Awwww, thanks honey. 

CTMH ink(Watermelon, Sunflower and Orange), cardstock and a bit of Bo Bunny Double Dots paper with some CTMH sparkle gems and some pink gems from Michaels (most likely). I also used a ribbon banner stamp from a stamp set that comes with the Artiste cartridge. The labels are cut with the Artiste cartridge. 

I used dot stamps from Papertrey Ink's Dot Basics set...have had that one for a lonnnnng time. Happy Birthday is from PTI's Birthday Basics set. 

Gosh it was fun to stamp the dots.

Thanks for stopping by. 

I've got one more to share in a new post. 

The "feel" of the card is less cutesy, so I decided to post it separately.

Doodlebug Fun

I sat down to try to make a card yesterday, using the new Doodlebug papers/embellishments. I haven't had much of a chance to work on projects recently. My days sure seem to whiz by, but I don't always have a lot to show for it. Ah well...I can only do what I can do. Anyway, in case you are interested here's what I came up with yesterday. I am also sharing a card I made a week or so ago and just photographed today.

This is obviously from the new Halloween pad. I also picked up a little Doodle-Pop embellishment (the witch and stars) and a sheet of stickers (kitty and clouds). No stamping, but I like how it came out. It was

 quick-ish to put together (after fiddling with it a bit).

I saw a card from the Doodlebug blog post where they share several cards showcasing the Happy Harvest collection. If you scroll though, it's the 5th picture. I didn't have the flowers, so I just did my own thing. I like the clean and simple look. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a great first week of Fall!

Happy Harvest Owl Card

Here's a card I worked on after being inspired by this blog post from Doodlebug.

Love Doodlebug and took advantage of a recent coupon deal from Archiver's to get some new Halloween and Happy Harvest goodies. Those little dot things are called Sprinkles and they are fun. I don't normally get the stickers, but splurged this time. Fun, fun, fun. Still debating if I want to add a sentiment, or just put it inside. 

That's it from me today. Thanks for visiting.

Til next time.
