Freshly Brewed Challenges - 3 or more Patterned Papers

POST #3

I'm on a roll... but the roll stops here. Whew!

Scroll down to check out my post for Word art Wednesday and a post update on my mom <3 p="">

Good morning! 

Our newest Freshly Brewed Challenge went live yesterday. 

This week we want to see your cards featuring 3 or more patterned papers. 

This was a challenge for me because I have been making SO MANY CAS

cards lately. I haven't had time to sit down and make a more detailed, layered card. 

I found an image I had colored and slipped into a folder (I know you have them too)

and thought YES! Even though I am super busy, I can whip up a card for this challenge!

I got out the Cutie Pie and got to work. I dug though my paper box / scrap pile and found

some fun things I had forgotten about or never used. (I am a paper hoarder... really!) 

I have had this calendar paper (months July - December) for quite some time now. 

I am glad I stumbled upon it, because I think it looks really fun with the theme of this card!

Papers: LUXE - It's About Time - Calendar 2

I hope to see you playing along with us at Freshly Brewed Challenges!

Have a wonderful and blessed day!

In EVERYTHING Give Thanks - Pumpkin

Good Morning!

I have two projects to share with you.

I have a NEW Word Art Wednesday challenge project and

a matching card for a NEW Freshly Brewed Designs challenge. 

This weeks WAW Anything Goes Challenge scripture is FREE for you!

*it always is*

You do not have to use it to create your project. 

The challenges are always anything goes using family friendly 

and uses an encouraging or uplifting sentiment. 

This weeks WAW Sponsors: Daydream Designs  and Heart & Soul Rubber Stamp Co.

We also have a new Freshly Brewed Challenge!

This challenge is to create anything using COLORS OF FALL.

Simple enough right?

Here are my projects:

This was such a fun project to make. I actually cleaned out my craft room. We moved furniture around and I HAD to go through EVERYTHING!!! So I totally did SHOP MY STASH this week. I cut my scrap pile in half by setting a box aside for some friends to go through. The rest will go to a few little girls at dance. I taught a few girls how to make cards and they are hooked.

I cut out several circles using the plantin schoolbook cricut cartridge then cut out a large scalloped circle, leaves, and flourishes using the accent essentials cartridge. The image was paper pieced by printing the image onto patterned cardstock. 

The image was cut out using a lacy circles spellbinder die. 

I love the glitter!!! It is called  green agate by Martha Stewart. It is a very light, silvery green. 

So pretty. I outlined the pumpkin using a glue pen an sprinkled glitter over it. 

I used an old watercolor brush from the kids craft supplies to brush away the access glitter. 

For the paper pumpkin, I traced the edges with aleens tacky glue and sprinkled the glitter over it. 

I tried to get a photo of the crystal fine glitter on the edges of the pumpkins leaves and stem, 

but it didn't work out too well for me ;)

Just know its there, lol!

Here is a photo of the top of the pumpkin

that features the free word art wednesday word art file:

And here is a close up of just the little card featuring our newest

Pumpkins Digi Release at Fresh Brewed Designs

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

That's What Fall Is Made Of! 

It's time for another NEW Digi Release

here at Fresh Brewed Designs.

This release is all about FALL!

Pumpkins, leaves, warm colors... 

sigh. 

I just love Fall!

For My card I chose to create with the new image
TWISTED STALK PUMPKIN

and 

Pumpkin Spice Digital  Sentiment

I was literally digging through my scrap pile for some

Fall colored papers when I stumbled upon this text covered paper.

It was already cut into this shape and was PERFECT for the 

RETRO SKETCH challenge #139 this week!

I really like the style of my card design. But after I finished..
I thought how wonderful this would be as a page in a mini album! 
I think I need to get busy with a Fall album ;-)

Thank you so much for stopping by! 

We have LOTS of new digis to share with you today. 

I hope you can stop by and

Oh for the love of PUMPKINS!!!

Happy Wednesday!

I had a sudden boost of mojo and decided to trash my kitchen. 

I didn't cook last night. It was our LONG day at dance. 

We are there from 4-8 PM on Tuesdays. 

I made subs. Yum!!!

SO - if anyone knows me I LOVE coffee and a CLEAN kitchen and living room... 

and bathrooms... I keep coming back and adding to my list. HAHAHA!!! 

I would prefer a clean house ... but that seems impossible. 

I take that back. It is clean, but cluttered and clothes never seem to make it back

to their 'homes'. They like sitting on dressers or in laundry baskets. lol. 

All of this leads to my kitchen. It is covered in little orange papers cut from the bottoms of

little orange circles used to create cute little paper pumpkins. 

I went a little overboard. I could probably make 100 little pumpkins with all I cut out :D 

They are just too cute and fun! 

Not only are little bits (and still big bits) of paper covering a large area of my kitchen table,

 but ink, stamps, glue, and black glitter are there too.

OH! and PUMPKINS! I have several different little pumpkins made. 

Some stamped with spiders. Some just inked. Some tall. Some small. I love them all! :-)

Another thing you may have guessed is that I had too much coffee this morning. 

I got up at 5 am to send my hubby to work, got the image I colored last night, 

cut her out and planned my card. 

I stopped by SCS and decided to use their sketch challenge for this week:

SC511 

And here she is:

My card featuring 

Cutie Pie Pumpkin Rubber Stamp

and some sweet paper pumpkins

OK, I am really loving my card. I had so much fun making this!

I haven't had time to get REALLY creative in my cards lately. 

I have been too busy. I enjoyed coloring her, adding the doodle dots, choosing

papers that I would normally NEVER put together, adding RIBBON!

I haven'd added ribbon to my cards in forever! and a sweet little brad. 

I may have to hoard this card for a while before I send it off ;) hehehe!!!

I know I sound crazy, but I did warn you that I made extra strong coffee this morning and

have had way too much. Or maybe I didn't warn you. I will have to go back and check. 

I may have just warned you in my mind! ;) BWAHAHAH!!!

OK, off I go!

I do hope you will play along with us in our PUMPKIN PATCH challenge at 

FRESHLY BREWED CHALLENGES. There are only 7 entries so far... and 

that just isn't right! I know you are all using pumpkins ;)

****Now for some Fresh Brewed News****

Have a very happy and blessed day,

Fall Flashback with Fresh Brewed Designs

It's time for a FALL FLASHBACK!

I love fall *or autumn* whatever you prefer to call it. 

Here in the south it is easier to say Fall. 

Especially with our southern drawl. LOL! 

We just sound weird trying to pronounce autumn. 

ANYWAY -

I am so happy to be here sharing some fun, fall themed creations with you!

My first features 

Happy Fall Girl Digital Stamp

I raided my OLD scrap pile that I had long forgotten about and found these papers.

I am not 100% sure of who they are from, but I am going to guess. 

If memory serves me correctly, the orange star paper is by making memories: just chillin,

the green is by Martha Stewart: woodland paper pad, and the bg paper is by cosmo cricket. 

It was part of a RAK I received a long time ago. 

I used my cricut to cut out the little leaves. I also added some Martha Stewart microfine glitter to the pumpkins. 

My next card features

The Great Pumpkin Digital Stamp 

This is a very CAS card. Not my usual style at all, but I love it. 

I double framed the image and added pop dots behind the orange and brown layers to make it 

stand out (It couldn't look TOO plain ;-)

I then used the cricut cartridge: stretch your imagination to cut out the autumn sentiment. 

Thank you for stopping by. 

I appreciate your visits and your taking time out of your day to say hello. 

Please stop by our Freshly Brewed Challenges blog

and check out all of the fantastic design team creations.

They are all amazing and are sure to get you ready for  all things Fall!

Have a happy and blessed day,

                                       Heather
