May Your Day Be Filled With Sunshine.....{MCT Whatever Wednesday}

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by today for another 

My Creative Time~ Whatever Wednesday!

Today I have another inky card to share using the newly released kit~ A Sunny Hello

I am in LOVE with this kit and if you haven't grabbed it yet make sure you do~ it is AWESOME

Anyways take a look at my card and let me know what you think....

I told you I got inky again! Everything on this card was inked up with Tim Holtz Distress inks in Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn & Salty Ocean.
I started my card by inking up the background using the new stencil. I then die cut it using the Stitched Rectangular Frame Die.
 I inked up some white cardstock to die cut the pieces for the sun and hearts, also from the new kit.
To make the rainbow I inked up again some white cardstock and then used the Bunch of Fun Circle Dies to make my rainbow. I attached the rainbow behind 2 of the Fun Stitched Cloud Dies.
The whole sun/clouds and rainbow focal point was then popped up onto the front of my card.
I stamped the sentiment using the new A Sunny Hello kit and my card was complete!

Such a happy card, don't you think??

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Make sure to check out the rest of the DT's inspiration over on the

MCT blog!

Have a GREAT Wednesday!!

It's Time For Another Craft Your Passion Challenge #75

Good Morning Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by for another Craft Your Passion Challenge and for my second project as a Craft Your Passion Guest Designer.

This weeks challenge is:

The "F" Word

No not that....anything crafty that begins with the letter "F"~ flowers, felt, feathers, folds, flower soft...you get the picture right?

This is what I came up with~

The DT was provided with some image choices and I chose this image from Kenny K~ Queen's Cutie.

I colored her with my copics in the following colors

I took her and photo copied my colored image then ran the image though my Tim Holtz FilmStrip Frame Die.

The negatives are what I used to fill in the Filmstrip I cut out in black cardstock.

I used my gypsy and made a "bench" using my George and Basic Shapes Cartridge...a rectangle and two x's welded together.

My colored image was placed on the bench ontop of the filmstrip.

The Sentiment is from My Pink Stamper~Pinka~licious and the frame is My Creative Time's Curly Label.

I also added FIVE gems...

used

FIVE colors

and

the FILMSTRIP.

I hope you enjoyed my project and will hop over to see what the other DT members have created.

Then make your own "F" project and link it up over at Craft Your Passion.

There are prizes to be won and you can win if you don't enter :)

Thanks for stopping by and see you all later :)

Whimsical Wednesdays Color Challenge

Morning everyone!

It is time again for another Whimsical Wednesdays Challenge!

This weeks challenge is a Color Challenge!

Your inspiration for this challenge is to use the colors Red and Yellow and you can choose another color or colors from the photo.

Isn't this such a fabulous craft room? Wish mine looked like this :)

So for my project I made a "sweet" card

My card is a standard A2 size and I used paper from Jillibean Soup~Chilled Strawberry Soup Collection in Whipped Cream.

I just LOVE this paper and the fun polka dots.

My cherries were cut at 4" using the Preserves Cartridge. There are 2 different red papers for the cherries and 2 different green papers for the stems/leaves. Both were scrap from my stash.

The sentiment is from Emma's My Creative Time ~~This and That~~ stamp set. This is such a great stamp set with great everyday sentiments.

Not too long ago I watched a video on how to make your own skittles. I gave it a go and made a bunch in different colors using Tim Holtz alchol ink.

I used some watermelon ones for the embellishments on this card.

I also used my favorite white gel pen for some added details on the cherries.

Hope my card, the DT's projects and this great craft room photo gives you lots of inspiration to join into this weeks challenge. Remember you have 2 weeks to link up and join in on the fun!

Make sure you check out the Whimsical Wednesday Challenge Blog for all the other great ideas!

Have a GREAT day and happy craftin' :)

Spring is on my mind...in a TALL way :)

Good Morning fellow bloggers. I am feeling up to the challenge...to make a card for more than one challenge. After blog hopping last night and this morning I found my one card I made can be entered into 8...yes 8challenges. That is the most I have done with one card since I started blogging 2 months ago. Happy Happy Joy Joy :)

Here is it! I made a Tall card...my first ever! The card base measures 9X4 and can fit into a #10 envelope. How much fun is that?!?!
Anyways I was at Michaels...surprise, surprise (my home away from home) when I found a package of Tim Holtz fragments. They were on clearance so I bought them :) I didn't know what to do with them so I went to Tim's website to watch a tutorial on these so cute clear tiles. He being the master (right!?!?) of all things altered took scraps and attached them to these tiles. I then knew what I was going to do with them. I went through my scrap container and pulled out my springy paper. What a great way to use up those little pieces of scrap. I usually just give my too small pieces to my boys so they can cut and paste and make things. I attached my scraps with glossy accents and tada this is how they came out!!
The spring cutout is from Stretch your Imagination cartridge. I cut this out and cut off the spring flowers that are attached to this cut. Instead of the dotted "i" I put a button.
I scalloped the purple paper using my corner rounder with the guide removed (another tutorial idea). With alittle stitching aound the spring sentiment and circle and my card was finished.
I hope you like my spring card!
