Adorable Farm Animals

 Elizabeth Craft Designs has a FABULOUS new release filled with adorable farm critters and accessories. They aren't quite available on the Elizabeth Craft Designs website, but they ARE available NOW at your local scrapbook store and on many websites.

I used the adorable Pig die to create this happy pig splashing in the mud.

How fun! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Using Stencils (and Flowers)

 Today's challenge at Crazy4Challenges is to use a stencil. Challenge accepted!

The stencil I used is part of the Summer Journal Special at Elizabeth Craft Designs, linked up below with the other products I used from ECD.  The washi tape is from my stash. I colored the beautiful flowers design by Anita at Elizabeth Craft Designs with Squeezed Lemonade and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks, and I used Fossilized Amber and Wild Honey with the stencil (with small splatters of Abandoned Coral). The blooming branches die cut is colored with Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles Distress Ink.

This card also was designed using inspiration of Card Sketch #2 in the Creative Paper Addicts Facebook Group!  Fun!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Hope you join our challenge!

Music Makes Me Happy

 Over on the Crazy4Challenge blog, our challenge this week is to do something with the "marching band" theme.  I really had nothing directly related to the theme, but I love the music of a marching band, so I stretched with some cool products from Dare 2B Artzy.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you join in the challenge!!

Sketch Challenge

 I recently joined a new Facebook group started by one of my design team sisters where she has posted a sketch challenge. Since I took yesterday off work on a vacay day, I decided to create the below card to meet the challenge:

Love that beautiful paper from the Mystical Winter collection and, of course, the pretty flowers (that are colored with a combination of two distress inks - Weathered Wood and Faded Jeans. The blooming branches leaves is colored with Hickory Smoke, and I added some White Craft Drops. I also added some Faded Jeans Distress Oxide to the stitched circle that also has a bit of gesso through one of the ECD stencils that was part of the Summer Journal Special.  All of the ECD supplies are linked up below. Thanks for checking out my card :)

Woof You!

 I love dogs more than humans!  Anyone else with me?  Today, at Elizabeth Craft Designs, my design team friends and I are creating Valentine's cards, and I figured this doggie one would be good to enter into the mix!

Days 25 to 31 - #DecemberDBD

 I finished my December Day-by-Day album that I have been working on with supplies from Elizabeth Craft Designs. My pages are below.

These are the tags that are in the above pocket. While we had a quiet Christmas, I was fortunate enough to see all my sons and their girls.

Chief had a play date.  It did not go horrible.  LOL

I was REALLY bored.  Hahaha, SnapChat filters are so fun.

That's it!  Day 27 is also being used as inspiration to this week's Crazy4Challenge to use green and/or purple!

Craftily yours,  Karen

Animals and Washi

 I just love the animals dies from Joset over at Elizabeth Craft Designs, and I love the washi tape that the store is carrying. I combined the two for these two cards!

Thanks for stopping by today. My supplies list from Elizabeth Craft Designs is linked up below.

My Sons

Our design team challenge on the Elizabeth Craft Designs this month is to create a scrapbook page.  I haven't done a "regular" scrapbook page in a while, but I have a really great 6x6 frame, so I thought I'd create a page using a picture of my sons and I had Christmas.

I love the Worn Wood paper in the background and the Mystical Winter Paper too. This way, I can see it in my frame anytime :)

The sketch for this lay-out was inspired by this week's Crazy4Challenges challenge!  Check it out!

Thank you for stopping by!

Places I've Been - Delaware

 I'm back to working on my Places I've Been Journal and am posting my Delaware page over on the Elizabeth Craft Designs blog today.  

The page uses the Planner Essentials 22, Top Loading Pocket. How fun is this?

Love it. Here's a picture of the back and of the tag that goes inside the pocket.

All of the details can be found on the ECD blog. 

The page is also being submitted as inspiration for the Crazy4Challenges post this week. Our challenge is in celebration of New Years and is to use something new or try something new. The "new" thing on my page is my Dymo labeler that I got for Christmas. I've wanted one for ages and am excited to use it!

Thank you for stopping by!
