Strawberry Season

 

Hello again!  I'm back today with a couple of cards that I made for the Double D Challenge, that I almost forgot to post.

 

I made these two cards last week using supplies from Simple Stories, a collection called Simple Vintage Strawberry Fields.

 

The strawberries are from Elizabeth Craft Design.  They continue to be a favorite strawberry set of dies for me.  I've mounted the strawberries onto some bits of ephemera from the Simple Stories collection.

 

 

Sorry that I don't know who to give credit to for the sentiment on this card.  It's super old and not in its original packaging any more.

 

 

Here is the second card I made using more bits of ephemera and strawberries.

 

 

I'm happy to be using up more of this sweet, summer collection to add to my birthday card stash.

 

Two simple cards made in a jiffy!

 I'll be adding one of these cards to the following challenges:

Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Double D Challenges ~ Favorite Fruit

 

 

Time Out Challenges ~ Mother Nature

JOY! ~ A Retro / Vintage Style Christmas Card

Good morning friends ~ I thought I'd pop on and share a cute, retro / vintage style deer card, which goes perfectly with the Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge as well as the Christmas Kickstart Challenge.

 

As many of you know, I love putting together bits and pieces of vintage style ephemera.  This collection of Simply Vintage "Holly Jolly" is jam packed full of fun pieces to play with.

 

This is an older collection from Simple Stories but you can still find some of the collection when you do an online search. I've had it for a while and still have so many wonderful dies left over for future projects.

  

Here's a bonus card using the same deer image.  He was just too cute not to use again.

 

I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:

Peace On Earth Christmas Challenge

 

Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

Christmas Kickstart Challenge ~ A Christmas Sing-Along (Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer)

New Halloween Challenge ~ Are You Onboard?

Good morning all! My two friends, Darlene and Diane are up to their creative shenanigans' again.  They've come up with the cutest idea for a Halloween challenge.

"Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge"

Doesn't the name just crack you up?  Well, it did me!  Anyway, I thought I'd play along to help spread the word about this unique and fun challenge.  The theme is "Anything Goes" and it runs until October 28th so you still have time to play along.

Here's my card:

While I'm not a big fan of Halloween myself, I do like the vintage Halloween images that they used to print on old post cards.  I like the ones that were not too creepy, but always super cute!    For this card, I printed off a free BINGO and kitty & pumpkin printable I found online.  

Here is there current mood board for inspiration.  I was inspired by the darling kitty  in the top right corner.

I'll also be adding this card to the following challenges:

Color Throwdown #615

I do hope you'll stop by and give Darlene and Diane some love and play along. 

Thanks for stopping by!
