Grateful

Hi! Glad you stopped by for a visit today. I recently ordered a new set by C9,

called, Grateful For Everything. Couldn't wait to play with it!

I'm playing along with Just Us Girls, where the challenge is Fast Watercolors.

I love all things watercolor, but this was a new one for me. We were directed on

the JUGs challenge to watch Jennifer McGuire's video on youtube. She made 

making your watercolor card quick and easy.

Lots of quick inking, spritzing, fussy cutting and some Lindy's Starburst: 

Marigold Yellow Orange spray.

Check out Jennifer's video here:  Jennifer McGuire's Fast Watercolors

Have a great day, hope it's full of crafting!

PapertreyInk September 2015 Blog Hop

September 25th is blog hop time at PTI,

and this month Nichole gave us this inspiration:

Autumn holds promise of holidays, family and

hopefully cool weather!

Because I send out Halloween and Thanksgiving cards, 

Nichole's timely inspiration gave me the chance to do 4 cards celebrating fall.

Hope you like them!

All stamps: PTI

Do you recognize the sets I used?

Trying to keep a one layer for easy mailing.

Got a couple of birthdays in October. 

The chalkboard technique has endless possibilities & is so much fun to

combine sets, and sentiments.

The only one with enamel dots, might have to deliver this in person.

and the 4th card with the chalkboard technique,

for a dear friend,

All the different technique touches learned by watching Betsy's MIM video, below:

Happy hopping, 

can't wait to see all the beautiful card art!

PTI September Blog Hop

It's Blog Hop time at PTI!

And our challenge is this beautiful fall photo:

September 2014 Blog Hop

A long post, so grab your cup of choice and settle in

for a bit, all supplies at the end so you can

hop along.

Trying not to overuse this stamp, but it's so darn cute,

and it seemed a perfect fit for the challenge colors.

That 'happy' just makes me happy!

Sweet Blush a fall color? But it works with Autumn Rose and Smokey Shadow!

Did this tag, then did a few more getting simpler each time.

Recognize the pumpkin from Scentamentals?

OK, that bucket of rosy berries? Had to do one with 

the Botanical stamp!

Just one more,

Hard to see, but Winterberry has glossy accents, then glitter,

which tweaked the blush, but I rather liked the contrast.

Too busy? Almost didn't add it, but it's fun to see 'over-the-tops' too!

Listing supplies if you'd like them.

Can't wait to see all the creativity on Nichole's blog!

Enjoy the hop!
