An Apple a Day

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you will have a wonderful weekend. Here is my entry for the House Mouse challenge, Autumn/Harvest. This image just puts a smile on my face like the apple! Thank you for stopping by. I hope your day is a good one!

Frosty the Snowman

Hi Everyone! It just turned Fall, but I am showing a winter card today for the Joan's Garden challenge. The challenge is to use blue and white, a snowman, a tree and a corner embellishment. I am looking forward to some more cooler weather since we are warming up again this week! Maybe this card will help usher in some cooler weather, but hopefully not snow too soon! Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day!

Technique Tuesday -- Bleeding Tissues

Hi and welcome once again to Technique Tuesday at Sparkle N Sprinkle. This technique is great for a Fall background. I hope you enjoy trying it!

Supplies needed:

1. several colors of tissue paper -- only a few will bleed. I used a brand called Bleeding Art Tissue
2. white glossy cardstock
3. water spritzer

Take the tissue and tear small pieces of each color.

Spritz the glossy card stock with water and randomly layer on the pieces if tissue making sure you cover the whole card.

Spritz over the top of the tissue pieces and let them air dry. Peal pieces off the card and you will  have a neat background.

I stamped the Swirl Oak tree onto my background with permanent ink and cut it out using a scallop die. I also made another card using the negative.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed the technique and that you will try this on some Fall cards! Have a wonderful day!

Nature Inspired

Hello! I hope you had a good weekend. It was such a beautiful one here. I am entering this card into the Nature Inspired challenge at Impression Obsession. I have so many of their beautiful nature stamps that it was hard to choose which one to use! I decided to go with a Fall look since Fall is finally here! For the background I used the Cover a Card Textural Dots CC016 and Cover a Card Birds in Trees CC102. My focal image is Tweet Summertime F1648. I used glitter on the sunflower and yellow flower soft on the mums in the pots. Even though the birdhouse stamp is really a summer stamp, I turned it into a Fall one! Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Happy Fall Ya'll

Happy Fall Ya'll! Fall ushered it's way in yesterday and it was beautiful here! I am loving this cooler weather even though we have still been in the eighties here in the South, it is less humid and cooler in the mornings and evenings. I love the Fall and all of it's wonderful colors, so I made a card to celebrate! I used Basic Grey Green At Heart/Grasshopper paper and the Pumpkin Flourish stamp from Impression Obsession. I also had fun using my new Stamping Gear to make the frame around the image. As you can see I am looking forward to Thanksgiving. Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Challenges entered:
1. Basic Grey -- Harvest Time
2. PaperPlay -- Choose a Holiday
3. Stampin' Sisters in Christ -- Harvest/Autumn

Ghosts and Goblins Fall Frolic Blog Hop

Hi and welcome to the Sparkle N Sprinkle Ghosts and Goblins Fall Frolic Blog Hop! Come join the fun, leave comments on each designer's blog and have a chance to win some wonderful prizes! If you have come by way of Julie's great blog you are in the right place. If not you might want to start at the beginning on the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog to be eligible for those wonderful prizes! I had so much fun making these cards for the hop. I made a window or tunnel card for my first card. I got to use a fun haunted house die that one of my good friends gave me awhile back. The cute witches are some of our new digital stamps by the artist Michelle Perke. I used Candy the Sweet Halloween Witch digi022 and Fly Away Witch digi123. I used Autumn Medley glitter G1013 on the house windows and decorative edges of the card.

On my second card I just HAD to use the fun Glow in the Dark embossing powder EP392. Just put the card in the light for a bit and then go in a dark place and boy does it glow! Such a fun product to use for kids and big kids alike! The stamps I used are the Dancing Skeleton 1370-285G and Spider 0299-113A.
