Just Me...

Happy Sunday!

Had a nice service at Church and a great Sunday School group today!

Hope your day was good, as well.

I found a few minutes this afternoon to play, and thought I'd enter a couple of challenges.

The first card was made for one of the Treasure Times Stamps Facebook Group Challenges. 

This particular challenge is for a guest designer spot.  You really should go HERE and join the FB group - they have lots of creative fun, and we all love that, right?  They also have a great website!  Jody, the owner, actually gave her group some digital images to enter the challenges with.  I chose this darling Halloween image.  Ugh...I tried three different times to color, and had one issue after the other, SO... I decided to color only the skin, and paper piece everything else. VOILA!

Wish me luck!!!  I used my Perfect Layers Mini Rulers and mat for the wonderful black layer. See my sidebar for details!

The next card was created for the October Challenge at the Great Impressions Stamps Blog.  

This was a pretty tough challenge for me, as I have ZERO fall or autumn related Great Impressions Stamps, and the challenge theme is:  Autumnal Elegance.  I ended up using some pretty patterned paper, a die, and this wonderful little sentiment, 'Just Me. Thinking of You. #9742 SKU #D405'.  This is an all-time favorite GI stamp - I reach for it often.  It can be made 'cutesy' or 'elegant'.

Hope you like it!!!

There's still time to enter each challenge, so get your craft on and go for it!!!

Thanks for stopping by,

Blogaversary Celebration - Day Four!

I'm back today with another Blogaversary Giveaway!

This is SO much fun, but....

WHERE IS EVERYBODY????

Remind all of your friends to drop by and leave a comment!

It's not to late to comment on 

Day One, or...

Day Two, or...

Day Three!

I love giving stuff away! And remember, you don't have to do any of the extra steps - 

those are just an opportunity for you to have another chance to win!

Now, on to today's wonderful Prizes!

There will be TWO winners today!  Yep, TWO winners!

First, we have a very special lady, Laurie Wilson, of Doodle Pantry,

sponsoring me with a $10 gift card to the Doodle Pantry store!  If you enjoy digi images, 

you will LOVE this gift card - and $10 will buy a lot of digi goodness!  

Seriously, Laurie is so talented, and so kind. Having been both a Doodle Pantry DT member, 

and a Guest DT member (a few times over!), I can vouch for both the ease of downloading and using the images and the illustrator!

Thank you so much, Laurie, for your generosity!

Here is one of my favorite Doodle Pantry Images (and this one is pre-colored!).

The pre-colored digi's make a card SO quickly, and what fun cards!!!

This image is Pumpkin Birdie -it comes in both black and white, and pre-colored!

You can find this set HERE

NEXT up....we have a gift card from a new-to-me stamp company!

I discovered this company, Treasured Times Stamps, when they posted a Design

Team Call.  I didn't make the team, but I am enjoying the DT's creations,

and am loving the products that I've purchased!

Jody Stacy is the owner of Treasured Times Stamps.  She's loved art since she was very little. Jody has actually been painting for 26 years!  In 2011, she started up Treasured Times Stamps, and not only does she work with some pretty great illustrators, but she's started her own Stamp Line, called the Lilly Mae Collection. This collection features little girls in Prairie Dresses, Pantaloons, and Sunbonnets.  How cute they are! You can see them HERE.

Jody is another sweet lady. I'm so happy to call her a blogging friend, and look forward

to using more of her products - I have my 'Dear Santa, I want it all' list ready to go!

Thank you Jody, for your generosity!

Here is what I made, using the Treasured Times Rubber Stamps #845-S Peaceful Thoughts, and a template that I found at Splitcoast Stampers...

Here is the card/box opened up.  I'm not sure yet who is getting this, or for what occasion, so I've left the sentiment off for now.  Isn't this image darling???  So sweet!

To win one of these prizes:

1. Leave a comment here = 1 chance

2. Leave a comment on the Doodle Pantry FB Page - tell Laurie I sent you = 1 chance

3. Leave a comment on the Treasured Times Stamps FB page - tell Jody I sent you = 1 chance

Isn't this just too much fun?

Day 5 will be on Friday, October 10th, and

Day 6 will be on Saturday, October 11th.

All winners will be announced on Monday, October 13th - good luck to all!!!

Hugs,

Patti J.

'Tis the Season...

Well, hello!  

It certainly feels like 'the season' here.  Cold, windy, damp, yep, it's the season!  I found a new shop this week, Treasured Times Rubber Stamps and Scrapbooking, that carries some fun things!  Found this sweet digi image there, and 'needed' it for my stash!  Lots of layers make this one lots of fun.  

It's pretty self-explanatory.....give me a shout if you have questions!  Copics, torn paper, glue, glitter, cardstock, Amuse Studio Sentiment, twine, and OF COURSE my Perfect Layers rulers for the nice, even mats!  See my sidebar for details :)

The Treasured Times Blog is actually having a DT Call going on now - if you are interested, you can read about it HERE.  You can actually get this image in digi OR a real stamp!

Have a good night - I'm going to try to stay warm!

Hugs,

Patti J.
