First Day of Fall Sale!

Happy First Day of fall everyone! Well, tomorrow anyway! LOL I had big plans for 2 great cards using digi stamps from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff this week - one to say goodbye to summer and one to welcome the fall, but my printer and programs had other ideas...grrr! On top of that, I have been sick with a cold this week, and my patience is wearing a little thin, so unfortunately, I have no new projects for today, but I do want to tell you about the First Day of Fall Sale at Mygrafico! There is a 40% off sale for the whole day on September 23rd!!! How cool is that? Even though I have no new project, I thought maybe I would link back to a favorite project from last year. I just love the Creepy Crows set and used it on THIS project. I hope you like it too! Hopefully I can get my technical difficulties worked out, get rid of this cold and post my cards soon. Please go check out the rest of the DT girls' blogs and see what they have created. Start with Lindsay at Thefrugalcrafter's Weblog, then check out the rest! Happy Fall Everyone!

NOT So Creepy Crow

Happy Thursday, Everyone! Today I made a Halloween card using the CREEPY CROW set from LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF - but it is pretty, not creepy!! I started with a black (Bazzill) card base and a double sided piece of patterned paper (bobunny) and a scrap of green card stock (Bazzill). I just cut, border punched (EK Success), and layered the papers with the crow from Lindsay's set, which I printed in a matching color. I added some ribbon, buttons, and Prima Flowers to finish the front. I printed the sentiment and layered it onto another piece of the patterned paper to finish the inside. I thought it would be fun to try some non-traditional colors in my Halloween card. Let me know what you think! If you like this set, or any other LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF sets, go to Mygrafico today - she's having a 40% off sale till Midnight!

Lindsay's Stamp Stuff Anniversary Blog Hop!

Welcome to the LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF Anniversary Blog Hop! Wasn't Tanya's project great?! If you didn't come from Tanya's blog, be sure to visit Lindsay's blog and start the hop from the beginning. If you get lost along the hop, you can always see the list on Lindsay's blog.
There is so much happening this week!!! Lindsay is hosting a CROP over at MyGraficO. It started Tuesday, and will continue on through Thursday. She has several fun challenges posted there with fun freebies each day-but get the freebies while they are free because at the end of the crop, they will go into for sale sets that you can buy. If you haven't already joined MyGraficO or the crop, click HERE to find the instructions and links on how do it.
Now, for my project! This is another one of those projects I started and never finished. I was inspired by a wall hanging in an old Country Marketplace magazine (Holiday 2006) done by Katie Estvold of Sparrow's Cottage. Rather than trace and cut out her pattern, I printed and cut out stamps from LINDSAY'S STAMP STUFF to use instead. I used the crow from the CREEPY CROW SET, the house from the PRETTY PRIMITIVES SET, and a flower from the DOODLE FLOWERS SET. I started by cutting my borders, corners and background (bo bunny, Daisy D). I printed the crow on the red paper, so he would have some nice color. The house and flower were printed on white card stock, (GP)then colored with my bic mark-its. I cut the hill from cream card stock (Staples) and the hilltop and leaves were cut from the red paper. I cut the word HOME using my cricut with the George cartridge. I glued everything down onto an old pizza box (way to recycle!) and drew in the flower stem, stamen and hanger for the house. I noticed the patterned paper had white flowers which didn't go well with the cream colors, so I aged the whole piece with Distress Ink (antique linen) and liked it much better. I then cut the box to size and glued the buttons in the corners, added my hanger and done! The finished piece measures 10x12 inches.
