Laugh

Mojo Monday is hosting its 529th sketch challenge.  This sketch allows you to use many different papers varying in size, texture and shine. The polka dot bags included in Club Scrap's newest Confetti Collection paired perfectly with the metallic Rinea Foil pinwheel giving this card a fun shiny element.

Happy Friday!

The Clean Team over at Freshly Made Sketches is hosting sketch challenge 419.  The goal is to use skewed panels while keeping your project clean and fresh. 

I used Club Scrap's newest Confetti Collection papers for this card. The collection includes Rinea Foil which was super fun to work with. The foil is actually two pieces of foil with paper sandwiched in between.  It makes folding, die cutting and embossing a snap.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Deep Breath

How soothing is a big hot cup of tea on a cold and rainy day?  I love crafting on these days too.  I usually open the window just a wee bit so I can hear the rain.

Paper Smooches is hosting an Anything Goes challenge.  I've been making tons of coffee/tea/cocoa themed cards and just adore their coffee die. I acutally die cut the corregated paper from a coffee sleeve for a bit of realism :) 

You Are Special

One of the goodies included in Club Scrap January's Confetti Collection is a gorgeous Rinea foil.  This unique foiled paper is constructed of two pieces of thin foil with paper sandwiched in the middle.  It embosses, tears and die cuts beautifully.  What I love the most is the way the inner paper shows through when you sand the foil lightly.

Using an embossed and sanded foil panel, I"m competing in the Freshly Made Sketches challenge #416.

Pour a Glass

Club Scrap has made the switch to clear stamps and I couldn't be happier!  I mean, could these new Wine Time stamps be made for anyone else BUT me :)  We recently jumped in our RV for some exploring and I only brought these stamps, inks and coloring mediums.  I wanted to challenge myself to keep things simple.  

Inked edges, images colored with colored pencils.

Colored corks with Copics and fussy cut. Edges of card base colored with Copics.

Rubbed ink pad along paper strip for color. Colored edges of card base with Copics.

Stamped wine bottles in background with second stamping. Copic colored edges.

Colored green paper ribbon with Copics.  Rubbed ink pad on burgundy ribbon. Inked edges.

Using all the quotes for a background is the magic of clear stamps!

Wine Time paper collection is a perfect companion. 

Make Life Big

Happy Saturday!  Just a few days left before Christmas.  I had the fortune of attending several work Christmas parties and am truly blessed this holiday season.  I couldn't wait to digitally scrap and share some of the fun captured in photos.

Club Scrap recently released a Coffeehouse collection but you don't have to limit its use to just coffee. I used several of the digital stamps, papers and border strips for this layout.

How Ya Bean?

I am not a coffee drinker.  I usually start my day with a Diet Coke.  I LOVE the smell of coffee but absolutely detest the taste of coffee. Can't even do mocha ice cream. With that "bean" said...I adore the Club Scrap Coffeehouse collection! 

I am currently on the road and only have the Club Scrap Coffeehouse Hybrid Collection to work with.  I created this cute card for the Card Sketch challenge on the Club Scrap Chat Facebook Group. What do you do with this digital card you ask?  You can either send it via email, text or print it from you home computer and attach it to a blank card base.
