First Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends!

 It has been a long time since I have created a new card and probably even longer since I shared my project here on my blog.

I had a request to make a card for a first birthday so I couldn't resist using this adorable image from Mo's Digital Pencil

The image is named Pumpkin Gnome and it comes with both the gnome and the sentiment.

I created the pumpkin using a small Spellbinders oval die and then layering.

Enchanting Charlotte

 Hello Crafty Friends!

Have you started making Halloween projects?  Next to Christmas, fall and Halloween cards are my favorite to make.  There are just so many fun color combos that you can use this time of year.

Ink 'N Splatter has a brand new release of stamps, dies and papers that will help you make all of your Halloween projects.

My card features Enchanting Charlotte stamp and die and the Spooky Nights paper pack.  The colors of this paper are so fun.  The teal is a great color and is used for Halloween for food allergy awareness. I just had to pop that little tidbit in.

Sally and Little Squirrel

 Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I am excited to share another project I created as a guest designer for Conie Fong Art. This adorable image is Sally and Little Squirrel. This image brought back lots of fond memories of my childhood. Where I grew up we had black squirrels and also the typical brown squirrels. Sometimes we would see a black squirrel with a brown tail or visa versa.   Both of my grandfathers enjoyed feeding the squirrels and in fact one of my grandfathers had a squirrel trained to take an oreo cookie out of his hand.

Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends!

This is my card for the June challenge at Crafty Hazelnut's Pattern Paper  Challenge.

The theme for the challenge is always Anything Goes as long as you use pattern paper.  I have used several layers of pattern paper for this card.  I really enjoy mixing patterns and colors for my cards.

I sent this card to a friend's daughter who celebrated her 18th birthday during the stay at home orders due to the Corona Virus pandemic.  Life has certainly been different for everyone.

As for me, my husband passed away after a 3 year battle with cancer.  Grieving during the pandemic is very isolating.  I haven't been able to see some of my family who lives in other states and when I have been able to see family and friends, we have had to maintain social distancing which means no hugs.
