As You Like It Challenge #289 - Cats or Dogs

It's time for another As You Like It Challenge.  This fortnight our challenge theme is to share your favorite - Cats or Dogs.  For a chance to win a top 3 spot, your project needs to show your favorite and you need to tell us why you've made your choice.  That way, we can all appreciate why it's your favourite. 

I love them both, but my current favorite is our 15 month old Bordipoo (Border Collie/Poodle) puppy, Koa.  He is such a happy boy, he loves his puppy and human friends and he has never met a stranger.  It makes me smile just thinking about him, how could dogs not be my favorite!  Take a peek below for some recent pictures.

This is such a fun challenge and we would love to see what your choice is and learn why you made it.  

I hope all is well in your realm.  Thanks so much for dropping in!

Aloha,

Brenda

Little Red Wagon #766 - Two Steps Behind - create a step card or something with a unique design

Kate is back at Little Red Wagon Challenge with one of her Def Leppard inspired challenges.  The song she is using this week is "Two Steps Behind".  So yes, you guessed it, she wants to see a step card or any card with a unique design.

As you can see, I went with a side step card and used a cute image from Amanda Jane Designs.  The flowers were cut with a very old Sizzix die (probably 20 years old) being used for the first time.  I also used more scraps from by bin!  The sentiment is a digi from the now shuttered The Lovely Studio.

Why not give our challenge a go this week, we would love for you to join us? If you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made. 

Thanks so much for dropping by!

Aloha,

Do you ever just feel like coloring?  I love to color and am often so focused on the final card product that I don't spend time on just enjoying the process of coloring.  Here are 4 fun to color and put together cards that were created with cute images from So Mushroom Digistamp/SVG.

 

 

To create these simple cards, I printed the image and the sentiment on Neenah cardstock, colored them up with Copic markers and adhered them to scraps of colored cardstock.

 

 

Not only did I get a little coloring time, now I have 3 cute cards so send to friends!

TCP May release products used today -

CRAFT Challenge #728 - Christmas

 

My apologies for being so late...again... I got back from a very fun 10 days on the US mainland and the day after I returned, I started feeling SO TIRED!  Yes, you guessed it, COVID got me in Texas.  But the good news is the storm Beryl didn't affect our trip at all and  thankfully it was after seeing our darling grand-daugher and giving her lots of cuddles and hugs.

I am feeling much better, but am most definitely still lacking in energy.  So here is my submission for CRAFT Challenge #728.  The challenge is Christmas and I used a darling image kindly provided by our sponsor, Pickles Hedgehog Christmas Pudding from Polkadoodles.

I do hope you all are well and ready for this fun challenge that will run for 2 weeks. Hope to see your lovely creations over at CRAFT Challenge!

Little Red Wagon #765 - Raid Your Scrap Bin

I'm up for hostess duties  over at Little Red Wagon, and I'm asking you to raid your scrap bin to create something fun. I keep a box full of my usable paper scraps and a little drawer with images printed but not used. This is what happened when I pulled them all together.

I used a cute little image called Flowers for You Quokka from Amanda Jane and a couple of scraps of paper already die cut.  

I do hope you will join us this week.  I look forward to seeing your paper craft creations.  

Do check out what the other Girlfriends have made. If you can, leave them a comment and let them know you love their work.  Last of all, head back to Little Red Wagon and link up your project.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Aloha,

Brenda

As You Like It Challenge #288 - Favorite Non-card Project

 

Our challenge for you over at As You Like It Challenge is to share your favorite non-card project.  For a chance to win our prize or top-3 spot, your project needs to show your favorite and you need to tell us why you've made it your choice.  That way, we can all appreciate why it's your favourite.  

This week our sponsor is:

Lili of the Valley

Junk Journals are my usual non-card paper craft love, but recently I have been trying to decrease the number of UFOs (un-finished objects) I have and this stitched one was so fun.  I even painted, distressed used an unloved frame.  I enjoyed the focus it took to stitch and bringing something unused back to life.  

We would love for you to head back to the AYLI blog to link up your creation.  While you are there, check out the prize that's up for grabs and take a look at the gorgeous creations the DT made for you to see!  

Thanks for stopping by!  

Aloha,

Brenda
