I was saddened to see that Penny’s Paper
Crafty Challenge is hosting its Final Challenge this month. I served on their
DT a few years ago and enjoyed working with such a great group of people! Since
Rachelle Anne Miller is hosting this last challenge, I decided to use one of her
adorable digis for my card. And since I’ll soon be needing New Year's cards, I
opted for that theme. So fun!
Supplies:
·
Digi- Rachelle Anne Miller (RAM) Digital Stamps (Animal Parade)
·
Colored with Spectrum
Noir Classique markers, Sakura Gelly Roll white & gold gel pens
·
Black, White and Metallic Gold Card Front- revised New Year Party invitation

· Sentiments- QKR Eureka Digital Stamps (Currently Not Available)
·
Sookwang double-sided tape- Available from several sources on the web.
·
All other misc. items and tools from my stash.

Most Disney Parks have parades!
A short time ago, I stumbled upon a talented and generous artist named Sande Woodson. Sande manages a FB page
and an email through which she provides free digital images on a regular basis.
I created a card last week (posted HERE) using a beautiful, embroidered Angel
wreath, which is an example of the types of images Sande creates and
shares! I used another of Sande’s embroidered
wreaths, this one has a sweet (literally!) gingerbread cookie as the center
focus. Using scraps of gold metallic cardstock, I created a cap and ring to top
the ornament and set it aside. I next trimmed a card front from a Hobby Lobby boxed
set of Christmas cards and covered one of its trio of ornaments with my gingerbread
one. I cut slits into the bow on the card front, slid the ornament ring under
it, and taped it in place with a strip of clear tape. Gold Filigree photo
corners and sentiments finish the card.

Pattie's Creations Challenge- #237 AG (Nov)
This week’s Wednesday
challenge at Simon Says Stamps requires the use of Dies. I recently found an envelope
full of pretty pastel-colored flowers that my dear friend, Linda, and I die-cut
many years ago. We'd both been Stampin’ Up demonstrators for a few years
before opening a small stamp store in South Dakota in the late 1990s. We loved
creating cards together, and often stuffed envelopes with die-cuts, embellishments,
etc., for later use.
Sadly, I had to create with this pile of pretty
flowers on my own, since breast cancer took Linda from us two years ago.
I miss her more than I thought possible, and can’t wait to craft with her again,
because I'm pretty sure that our heavenly mansions will be side by side!
Since Linda loved growing
flowers, I made this card in her memory! I am thinking I’ll send it to
her daughter, Sara, who has a sweet heart like her momma!
Supplies:
· Flowerpot
Pocket Card Template can be found HERE · Tag created with scraps and a sticker from
my stash
· Inside
Sentiment-a Rubber stamp that I tore off the wood years ago so I could use it
on my MISTI
· All
other items from my stash.
