Wishing you.....

Happy Saturday!

How was your week?

Mine was a whirlwind of activity--

working, trying to get

everything ready for Little Miss'

return to school.

She starts this coming Wednesday.

Grade 1---wow---goes fast.

My other son started his second year of Cegep

this past week, too. Again, goes so fast.

Anyhow, on to what today is.

A new challenge!!

HIMCR #264 - Any Holiday!

And the sponsor??

The sponsor is Hiding in My Craft Room!

The giveaway is TBA.

So, with the challenge in mind, 

I set out to created a card

for an upcoming holiday that I always seem

to run out of cards for--Christmas.

I used a grid design, the squares

were cut down to 1.5 inches. I used

some of my scraps from an AC Christmas collection.

I ran one through my my Cuttlebug with

a snowflake embossing folder.

The sentiment stamp, from Inkadinkadoo,  is stamped with

Ranger Archival black ink.

Very simple design, but I personally love it. :)

That is it for me for now.

Until next time, mes amies!

Be safe. Get Crafty.

HIMCR#263--Chocolate Understands

Happy Saturday!

A new challenge is starting over on the 

Hiding In My Craft Room blog today.

HIMCR #263 - YUMMY!

And the sponsor:

Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps!

The giveaway is 

3 Sweet 'n Sassy Digital Stamps!

The Design Team were given

some images to use for this week's post.

I chose Chocoholic..

(I love chocolate, so this one was 

a no-brainer for me!)

I used my Tombow markers (still getting used to them)

and the sentiment is from

CTMH, stamp of the month.

The papers are from My Mind's Eye.

Very simple, yet effective, I think.

That is it for me for now.

Be safe. Get crafty!

Hello!

Happy Saturday!

Thanks for stopping by!

Can you believe that it is August??

I can't--

and another thing I am having trouble digesting is

that tomorrow, August 7th, my twin sons will be turning 

the big 18!!

ACK!

I can't believe it.

Well, I can, it is

just hard to see them as 'adults'

now, and not the sweet faced little rascals they once were.

Onwards.

A new challenge is starting over on the

Hiding In My Craft Room blog today.

This week, it is

HIMCR #262 - Pastels! 

(woohoo--a color challenge!)

And the sponsor for this week's

week challenge is:

Graciellie Design!

The giveaway is a Graciellie Design Stamp Set!

Here is what I created:

I used Distress Ink pads, with a paint brush.

I tried to maintain a very pale effect, but alas, 

not as pale as I wished.

But it is not bright. At least not too bright. 

The Hello sentiment is from Heidi Swapp

September Skies stamp set.

The colored papers are from my scrap files.

Gotta love using your scraps.

So that is it for me for now.

Be sure to link up.

Until next time, mes amies, 

Be safe. Get crafty.
