Apple Pickin' Time

Marsha is our hostess for the next challenge at the Sisterhood of Crafters.
The theme she has chosen is:

"Fall is in the Air"

What comes to mind when you think of Fall? I love heading to the orchard to pick apples. This year, I will have to settle for purchasing some at a farm market.

For the focus of my project, I chose this digi of a basket of apples. The image was colored with Prismacolor pencils.

 

I started with a white card stock base and added the white/green striped designer paper. Next I added a strip of light brown card stock to the left side. The image was adhered to a panel of red/white gingham designer paper and layered onto the card. Last I add the stitched green grosgrain ribbon from Stampin' Up. I used black ink to stamp the sentiment in the lower right hand corner. It is hard to tell from the photo, but some of the apples were cut from another copy of the image and adhered with pop dots.

We would love to see your creations. Head on over to the Sisterhood and check out the inspiration projects by my sistah's. Then enter your project for a chance to be our next Top Winner.

Have a great day.

Lookin' Sharp

Diane is the hostess for the next challenge at the Sisterhood of Crafters that begins today and here theme is:

"Cozy Plaid"

I decided to use my new Truly Taylored stamp set from Stampin' Up and matching punch for this challenge.

Beginning with a brown card stock base I added plaid paper from DCWV. Then I cut 3 squares from brown card stock, cut one in half for the collar and added the third for a pocket. After stamping and fussy cutting the glasses, I added them to the pocket. Then I stamped the sentiment, punched it out and adhered it to a piece fo brown card stock. Using my scissors, I trimmed the brown to about 1/4" around the sentiment for a mat. Last I add the orange red buttons.

My older brother has a birthday coming up in November. I think I will send this card to him. He wears a lot of polo shirts, so this will be perfect.

If you are looking for a fun challenge, head on over to the Sisterhood and share you creations with us. The sisters have some beautiful inspiration projects to help you get started. Remember there is a limit of 3 entries per person.

Hope to see you there.

Hugs,

Terri

Fall Leaves

Hello everyone! Are you up for a new challenge at the Stinkin' Inkers?

"Leaves Are Falling"

I found this image of leaves and berries on Pinterest and decided it would be the perfect image for this challenge.

Studio 71 markers from Pat Catans were used to color the image. I just love the bright colors. I don't remember where I got the sentiment stamp, but I thought it fit perfectly with the flourish around the image. After adhering everything to the tan card base, I splattered Fun Stampers Gold Silk in onto the card.

This card could be used as a Thank You, Thinking of You or Encouragement card. Sometimes we all need to know we matter and are loved.

Now why not hop on over the the Stinkin' Inkers challenge blog and enter your creation? The design team has some love inspiration projects to share with you.

Hugs,

Terri
