Nuts About You!

My DT project for Inspiration Destination Challenge Blog where it's always anything goes! Our fabulous sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps!

Click on the images for a closer look!

This is Autumn Squirrel from Bugaboo Stamps. I've colored the image with Copic markers and Pebbles Inc. chalks. The leaf die cuts are from Fun Stampers Journey. The grass die cuts are from Top Dog. Pattern paper is retired from Cosmo Cricket. The word 'nuts' are tiles from a Scrabble board game! I read about using those tiles in a layout from a scrapbooking magazine back in 2006! So I bought some old Scrabble board games that year at some yard sales up in New Hampshire. It's where we lived at the time and not that I drove up from Texas just for the purpose of buying board games at a yard sale! lol But up in NH, yard sales are called tag sales. So anyway... I'd been hoarding them since and look at that! It only took TEN years to use them! Ha! It's shameful the things I've hoarded over the years.

Trust In The Lord

Join us this week at My Time to Craft for our newest challenge which totally challenged me! lol However, now I'm the biggest fan of a one layer card! You guessed it... the theme for Challenge No. 334 is one layer cards!

Click on the images for a closer look!

Isn't this fun!?! I love the ease of making a one layer card. The focus is entirely on the images so I went with this super powerful sentiment and adorable Sweet Heather from Faery Ink. The sentiment is retired from The Angel Company. I colored the image with Copic markers and a gold gel pen. I used Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black for the sentiment.

Meet Me Under the Mistletoe!

Hi all! Here is my final contribution for Cute as a Button's newest release. I've enjoyed being part of the CAAB Design Team but I've got way too much going on in my messy life to give it the attention it deserves so I am stepping down from the Team. I wish them nothing but the best in their future endeavors.

This is Mistletoe Kiss from Cute As a Button. I've colored the image with Copic markers and a gold gel pen. The holly die cut is from Spellbinders. All pattern card stock is from Graphic 45. The ribbon is from Raisin Boat. All other supplies are from my stash.
