Send Wine

 Hello and welcome!

Here's a card that I had a lot of fun making:

A few months ago I received this 'send wine' die from my

snarky sister, Barbara, and put it in a safe place until I was

ready to play with it. Such a safe place that I only rediscovered it

yesterday. Anyone else have that problem?

Anyway, as soon as I found it, I wanted to use it,

and so this card was created.

I used the pink/red theme at Color Hues #103 and what do you know?

They are doing a collaboration with Inkspirational Challenge #334

so I'll add my entry there as well.

Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Accessories: Send Wine die gifted by Barbara Godden; Fiskars - corner rounder

Adhesives: Bearly Art glue; SA - tape runner

Let's Celebrate

 Hello crafty friends and welcome!

I'm still trying to make a dent in my NBUS pile.

This time, I've finally opened up a paper collection

that I bought a couple years ago from Photo Scraps store. Sadly,

they closed their brick-and-mortar store, but Tracy still has an 

online shop that you can order custom papers from!  I cut into

one of the 12" x 12" papers for this card:

The heartbeat lines with the word 'wine' in it just cracks me up!

Here's the inside:

I've used the current sketch at Atlantic Hearts for my card,

and since I've finally cut into some new paper, I'll enter

this at Seize the Birthday also.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope that you have a great day!

Well, back to work. My birthday card stash is, as always,

seriously depleted. Got to make some more! LOL!

A Tiny Craft (ATC) Challenge!

This month's theme is We Remember.

Think Remembrance day/Veteran's Day/the color red/poppies/military, etc.

You can make an ATC card or coin.

Here's what I came up with:

I lucked out as I had these poppies already stamped. They were

leftovers from another project I made a couple months ago.

I printed out the sentiment and matted it in the same

blue card stock I used as the base.

I hope that you'll join our We Remember challenge at

A Tiny Craft (ATC) challenge!

Need more ideas? Just check out what my teammies, and our

I use Spectrum Noir markers and chose colors to match that fun

background paper, but feel free to color the image however you want:

not necessary. Just so long as they are no less than 1/4" in from the edges, 

you'll be good to go.
