"Hay Pumpkin"

Greetings!

I hope you are enjoying your Saturday!  I know I did.  We're having a little Indian Summer.  I never knew why they called it "Indian" Summer, but I sure love them!  I have been sharing with you some new releases from Inktegrity and I have some more.  This may be one of my favorites.  It is the cutest little Tractor I ever did see and what makes it even better is that you can add on to the tractor. 

I used the adorable tractor added some hay and then some pumpkins...Hay Pumpkin. lol  I love how Joni has made this so versatile.  This would make a great little boy's card.  You can pick these cute digis up from the Inktegrity store tomorrow.  I would love to see what you come up with.  TFL!  Oh yeah, don't forget to enter the challenge going on right now.  You can find deets at the top of my blog under the Inktegrity page.

Inktegrity Hump Day Challenge #17: Sketch

Greetings!

There's a lot going on over at Inktegrity's blog.  First of all it is time for a new challenge.  Congrats to Marion E. for winning the last challenge!  This week's challenge is a sketch challenge.  Aren't sketch challenges fun?  I mean you don't have to figure out how to config your card you just have to choose your color combo (which is the most difficult part for me).  Anyways, here's the sketch and my take on it.

I love this dog and I imagine if I had a dog he would be really smart, because I am always in school or reading two or three books at one time. lol  The second card that I would like to share with you is from Inktegrity's new Release "Apple Basket."  I wanted to do a different type of card so I decided to do the hinged card using this adorable set.

Don't they look yummy?  Wouldn't they look even more yummy if they were drizzled with caramel, chocolate and sprinkled with nuts. lol  MMmm.  This adorable set (digi and sentiment) will not be available for puchase until October 10th, but it is definitely a must-have!  You can stop by the Inktegrity store and find several other must-haves.

Inktegrity's Sneak Peek Preview

Greetings!

Over at Inktegrity's blog, we are giving you a sneak peek at the new release "Pumpkin House," which will be avaialbe for purchase on October 10th.  I squealed over this cutie and couldn't wait to use it.  I kind of went outside of the box, as I am know to do and decided to use it on a gift tote I was making for a friend. 

I was using a different camera to snap the picture so you can't really see the detail; however, if you visit Inktegrity's blog you can really see how adorable (and versatile) this image is.  The tote was something I just came up with.  I put Pepperidge Farm Milano milk chocolate cookies inside. I thought that this made a cute Happy Harvest Day gift and I hope the recipient felt the same way.  Make sure you stop by Inktegrity's blog on the 10th to check out all the awesome images Joni has come up with.  TFL!

Rapunzel

Greetings!

I hope this post finds you doing well.  Here's one of my latest creations which I had thought about doing when I first saw the sentiment from Create w/TLC.  However, I didn't have  an image of Rapunzel until Sassy Studio Designs came out with one (I think they read my mind).  lol

Anyway, again in order to create this card I had to "draw" and I use that word very very loosely, because I can't draw. I created the entire background for this card and left the actual drawing to the professionals. I ran out of the good paper, so I will definitely make this card again. This paper wasn't smooth enough, so her cheeks are extra red and the stones didn't come out as blended as the last time I did them on the "a day for daisies" card. I could sit here and pick out other faults with my card, but I am not going to, because as I said I had this idea in my head for a while and I'm glad to free up some space for other ideas. *giggl* TFL!

A day for daises "Lots of Layers" Challenge #3

Greetings beautiful people!

Okay, this week over at at "a day for daisies" we are having our third challenge and with the cool Fall weather here, you need to put on lots of layers. My creation was truly a challenge within a challenge. I have had some serious personal problems going on and I am thankful for all the prayers, because God truly heard them. I thank God for his mercy and grace.

I had this image colored and ready to go a while ago; however, I looked at it and didn't like how I colored it, so I colored it again...and again...and again...just to end up using the first image I colored.lol Please tell me that this has happened to others. LOL Anyways, this image caught my eye the first time I visited Tammy's store, but I didn't purchase it immediately. However, when I did purchased I immediately envisioned how I wanted to use it. The first thing I wanted to do was to place this beauty on top of something. Since, I can't draw (not even stick figures) I was stumped until the idea to draw a brick wall came to mind. Here's my drawing (don't laugh)...

This was the first layer of my card. I don't know why it looks wobbly here, because it doesn't look that way in my card. lol My second layer was "wildflowers" from Make it Crafty and then the final and most important layer was "Star Flower Girl." When I saw her she reminded me so much of myself (I think because she's curvy as well). lol I imagined that she was sitting out on her brick wall and a secret admirer snaps a picture of her. *giggl* Well, now that I have set the mood...here she is..."Lady on the wall." TFL!

Okay, I showed you my creation, now head over to the challenge blog and show me yours. If you haven't joined us over at "a day for daisies" CDAC group, what are you waiting for?

Inktegrity Challenge 16: Fav Fall Colors

Greetings beautiful people!

I am always tempted now as an adult to jump in a pile of leaves.  Sure I may break my leg or hip, but the temptation is still there. Inktegrity kicked off another challenge and this time you are to use your favorite Fall colors and create a card.   I've had some serious personal problems going on so I am posting my creation late.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank Joni (the fab artist of the Inktegrity images) for being so understanding.  I am thankful to God for his mercy and grace that everything worked out. 

In order to create my card I used several papers and colors (afterall it is a color challenge). :-)  I'm sure you have some fall papers stashed away, so pull them out and get to creating some wonderful.  You can post her card here.  While your at the site make sure you check out the beautiful creations from the other design team members (and leave some love) or click on their links on the sidebar. ------->
Also, you should stop by the store and check out these adorable images.  TFL!
