There And Back Again

I came upon this new challenge which I think is just fantastic!! The Library Challenge - for crafters who love books. Well, that certainly is me. I love to read,  I'm a children's librarian in a Pre-K through 8 school, and have worked in the book industry for most of my career. This is right up my alley!!!

The inspiration for the current challenge is The Hobbit. You can take your inspiration from:

The cover

or

The title

or

The story.

I took mine from the cover. If you look beneath the mountains in the cover art, there is a row of trees with black trunks. That is what I focused on. The "sentiment" is the subtitle, or alternate title to the book. I made it by combining words from different stamp sets, embossed them in white on black paper, and then I cut them out and popped up on foam tape.

I love this challenge idea, and I hope to be able to play often. Thank you Marina, for coming up with this awesome idea!!!

There's a new Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge up and running. This time the optional twist is reindeer. As soon as I saw that, I immediately thought of this gorgeous retired Stampin' Up Dasher image and went from there. I embossed the image in gold, die cut it with a stitched circle die, and mounted it on another gold circle die cut.The background is made with watercolor and emboss resist. The sentiment is die cut from red foil cardstock.

Please head over to the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge Blog and see what my Design Team colleagues have created for your inspiration, then put your antlers on and come up with a creation of your own to link to our gallery. You could be the winner of a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.

I love the current sketch at CAS Colors & Sketches. I was playing with DO inks earlier in the day and made several panels, and the elements of this card came to mind that would work with the sketch. I needed a card of encouragement for a dear friend who is going through a rough time... this is perfect for her.

City Crafter Challenge #401 -Die Cuts

Hello!

When I saw the AAA Cards Challenge #109 today, I was immediately drawn to it. The challenge is to  use die cuts ONLY, and of course keep it CAS. I immediately got my thinking cap on. I just got this new die from Concord & 9th and I decided it had everything I needed. I then looked for a color scheme inspiration, found the Just Us Girls Color Week challenge #428, and decided to go with it. It needed a little more umph, so I added the Hero Arts 12 Point Stars Infinity die behind the main image/die. I like the way that it affects the whole composition of the card.
