Fun Trio

It’s Friday, so time for another challenge at QKR Stampede!  Stop by the challenge, which is always “Anything Goes” and several prizes are awarded. Maybe you’ll be inspired to enter a card or two yourself? My DT card features a cute digi image from QKR and wonderful sentiment from Eureka Stamps.  I love this sweet little bear holding a bear.  Isn’t she adorable? And the sentiment seems like a perfect fit to me.  

Supplies: 

·    Digi- QKR (Baby Bear)

·    Front Sentiment- Eureka Stamps (You're Unforgettable)

·    Colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

This year with all the bugs going around I cannot wait for Spring rains to show up and herald the change of the seasons! I love the joy of Spring that this wonderful image from Beccy’s Place conveys. I wanted the wonderful rainbow background to show, so I printed the image onto vellum and traced around the image with an oval template so that even MORE of the rainbow would show.   Since this card features a trio of friends, I feel that the sentiment from another of Beccy’s digi sets fits perfectly!  I'm entering this card into several challenges including Simon Says "Something Feminine" (I asked my hubby if he and his friends would ever huddle together under an umbrella and he guffawed loudly. I took this as a firm "no." So I think that a gaggle of friends giggling under an umbrella is a girl thing to do, making this a feminine card! ) 

Supplies: 

·    Digi- Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Splish Splash)

·    Inside sentiment-- Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Button Collector)

·    Rainbow stationery and vellum from my stash

·    Oval template from my scrapbook supplies

My final creation for this posting is a Christmas tag made with mulberry paper. I always hate to throw any of this beautiful handmade paper away so save the scraps and use them on projects like this. The base of the tag is a scrap of cream-colored paper with faint gold snowflakes. I overlapped strips of double-stick tape to this base, creating a primitive tree frame, then started laying on scraps of the green mulberry paper. I used a snail adhesive to fill in the spaces with smaller scraps. I added a transparent “Wish” sticker that I'd purchased from Oriental Trading Company’s after Christmas sale back in 2008. (I remember the exact year because it was just before a major move and my hubby gave me a hard time about all the craft items I had just purchased. He complained about having to transport the additional boxes of stuff- and there were several- to our new home. He actually said that I already had enough craft supplies. I don’t think that is even possible, is it? Especially when the supplies were 60-70% off!) Instead of stamping a to/from on the back of the tag, I think that I’ll attach this tag to a card front so it has center stage!
