Jungle Friends

Hello all, 

I hope everyone is safe and healthy.  It feels like we are living in a strange jungle ourselves. I am very grateful for our low numbers in BC, and to all those who help with the fight to keep those numbers low. 

This stamp set has been sitting in a drawer for some time, and I just had to use it again.  I think it's so sweet. It is from Autumn Leaves. I used mostly Copics to colour the images. I got a large ink dribble on the tree, so I used the bird to hide it, but it works with the design from the Bugaboo Sketch challenge # 811.

I also used the colour challenge from Bugaboo June challenge.  I would also like to submit this card into the following challenges:

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge blog #246 - Anything Goes

Colour Crazy Craft Challenge blog week 26 -Anything Goes

Crafty Sentiments design challenge blog - Anything Goes

Creative Fingers Challenge blog #189 - Anything Goes

I hope everyone has a great weekend, and keep crafting!

Simple & sweet

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all safe and healthy.

I made a simple and sweet card for any occasion using the Bugaboo photo inspiration @ Bugaboo Challenge Blog. I used the Bugaboo Dollar flower bug, and coloured it with
Copics and Tria markers.  I stamped the butterfly in the left corner from an old clear stamp set.  The paper is from "Colored Pencil" by Recollections from Michaels.

I would also like to submit this to:
Stamping Sensations Say It with Flowers challenge
Moving along with the times challenge #118 - flowers
Love to Craft challenge - Anything goes

Embossed Spring Tree

Hi everyone,

This card idea is straight from a Jessie Hurley class I took at Making Memories.  We used this stamp in the class, but with a different color combo.  I thought for a St Patrick's day birthday for someone that loves pink, this would be perfect.  The butterflies were punched out of glitter paper and popped up.  The tree and poem stamp is heat embossed with pink, two shades of green, and copper embossing powders.
I am entering this card into the following challenges:
Your next stamp #34 - colour challenge.
A Gem of a challenge # 164- spring.
Fussy & Fancy Friday #159 - things with wings.
Cute Card Thursday # 416 - Lace or Ribbon
Pile it on #103 - Green & two other colours
Starinmypocket - include embossing

Thanks for taking the time to stop by.  Have a wonderful weekend!

Yay, I won at Meljen's designs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone,

I am so happy to have found some time to create again. I knew from the minute I received this stamp, I would use it for my Dad. It reminds me of the family roadtrips, although we didn't have quite as nice a car. I am submitting this into a few challenges. The sketch I used is from Scrap, Stamp and Doodle Saturdays. The color scheme comes from Meljens Design Team challenge #60. It also goes with the Father's day/Special Man theme at Craft your days away challenge.
Thanks for stopping by,

Flutterby challenge #145

Hi Everyone,

This week's challenge is an inspirational picture of a sunny sky and a field of daisies. I immediately thought of this clear stamp that came free with my Papercraft Inspirations magazine. The background paper has the faintest daisy on it as well. The other DP is from K&Company.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a great week!

Busy, busy, busy

I feel awful that I haven't been posting for awhile. Life just got so busy, I had very little time to myself. The only cards I have to show are for Christmas, even though I know everyone is over Christmas and onto Valentine's day. I hope you will still enjoy them.

This card was made using Little Loud Stamps. The punch is from eksuccess and is actually a flower underneath the snowflake, but the swirls reminded me of a snow drift. There is a little bit of glitter on the snow, but it doesn't show very well.

Enjoy your evening and thanks for stopping by. Tanya.

Bella birthday

Things have been busy. I 've had very little time to do much crafting at all, but I was able to sneak in a few cards I would like to share before I dive into my Christmas cards (I can't wait to get those started). This card was sent to my friend in September. Pretty basic design using Birthday bella stamp, DCWV paper, and some gold ribbon. I colored Bella with Tria markers and cut the image using Spellbinders. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to have more to show you soon. PS, Please show your respect for our veterans this Rememberence Day. Cheers, Tanya R.

Welcome Eli!

Hi Everyone,

I have to admit that I have not been working in my craftroom too much these days. We finally have some sunshine, but most of all, I have injured my finger and it is now in a brace. The doctor's say that I should try to avoid using it. Considering it is my right index finger, that is not an easy task. So even now typing this is a challenge, but I wanted to still share some designs I have done recently. This one is to welcome my friend's little boy into the world. He is a cutie. I used a dreamweaver stencil for the carriage. I glued and glittered the de-bossed side. The background is a rubber stamp I picked up at Michael's awhile ago and the congratulations is embossed with white embossing powder. I have to start a card now for her baby shower and I hope to show that to you soon. Thanks for stopping by.
