So did you play??? I had a grand time playing with some stuff! First a before of my desk
Winnie and Walter called for a
"craftie" challenge- a shot of where you work and this is my space. I organized all my bits and bobs (all the boxes) LOL the best I could to get me some room to work!
When I got down to work here are my cards for the day....
First up a Lawn Fawn Cookies and Milk card, oh my...I just love this little set (okay so I love Lawn Fawn!) So much fun! I colored this with my Prisma pencil crayons Papers include a scrap piece of Kaisercraft I had and some older K&Company paper.
Next I have one that I did for Winnie and Walter and their
On Trend with Lea challenge using camera themed products. I used the Winnie and Walter Scenary V for Chevron, Bubble talk and The Write Stuff Picture perfect set. First I stamped out my chevrons in Broken China and picked Raspberries Distress inks and then I cut the bottom of the card and added a clear acetate panel in behind it so that part of my sentiment inside would show when the card was closed. I paper pieced the camera from the MME Collectable 6X6 paper paad.
Next I have a card using the Simon says stamp Ice cream Dreams stamp set and Bo Bunny's Lemonade stand 6X6 paper pad. I colored the stamped images in with Prisma pencil crayons again.
Okay next up was an idea that I had rolling around my head. I wanted the Wings of Tim's layered butterfly to be on the front and back of my card. I had cut the card panel and then I had got side tracked and left it and found it when I was organizing and put it to the top of the "to do" pile. first the water color paper was cut using two cutting pads with a separation between them at the butterflies body center so that the wings were cut but the body wasn't. I then lined up the wings in the embossing folder with the card panel folded and embossed it I ink the BG in Mustard seed and spiced marmalade and watercolored in the butterfly with Chipped sapphire and peacock feathers distress inks. I further inked the BG with Tim's "Rays" layered stencil. I then stamped the panel with Tim's Adverts and mixed media stamps. sets and the sentiment from Simple Sayings and embossed it in Gold Ranger embossing powder. This is the outcome
Sorry for the lighting in the second picture, this morning I discovered I forgot to get a picture of the card open (duh!) so I didn't have the best lighting.
Next...I had a blast with the The Simon Says Stamp exclusive set that Tim made for Stamptember (Tim Holtz STAMPTEMBER exclusive Cling Stamps THSEPT14) I must say I LOVE this size!! Not too big, not too small...JUST RIGHT :D and I love the added sentiments! I stamped these on Neenah Solar CS, cut them out with my Cameo with the aid of the PixScan mat(LOVE!) and then colored them in with Prisma pencil crayons (all but the Sew special to me...that was done on Watercolor paper and colored in with distress markers and the watercolor brush and then spritzed with the Distress marker spritzer)
and here we have a set of 4 cards I created (of course I am not done yet....there will be MANY more I am sure!) but that was it for yesterday.
I didn't stamp the inside of this one yet but here it is ready for a quick sentiment inside and away it will go!
And now...I don't know if this will work or not....but I had this idea that Tim's phone should ring! And so I popped it up on an action wobbler, if this works you will get a video...if not...please be patient and I will attempt to add it in :D ETA Oh goodie it worked!! The wobble is much more impressive in person!! just ask my DD! :D

Sending happy thoughts stamp sets
and now I have a few layouts to share!! YAHOO! okay this first one uses an SG sketch, Simple stories papers (and if you have really sharp eyes you will find two teeny tiny scraps of K&Company papers from my scrap stash) and a stamp from Winnie and Walter The Write Stuff: Picture Perfect.

recollections CS, I snuck a couple of W&W stamps from the Big the Bold and you stamp set and I made the BG with WPlus9 Spring blooms stamp set! and I had a blast doing it too!
and THAT is my shares for today.
I hope you found something you could take some inspiration from and go get inky!
The black cardstock is just the Backdrop I was trying to get the colors to show as the pink is very muted at the top. The big the bold and You is the Winnie& Walter set I used.
Sentiment is Violet's ABCs from Lawn fawn and the background I created with the beans are from the Simply Iconic Stamp kit, Gathered Twigs Distress ink and then inking the cream paper with Vintage photo distress ink and embossing in Ranger Gold embossing powder the beans along side the Sentiment.
Hold the presses!! This kept mulling around in my brain while thinking of coffee....remember Bugs Bunny? of course you do! I used to love Witch Hazel and her flying bobbie pins! LOL well in one of the cartoons she was preparing a potion and she would sing this little ditty...
I think I already mentioned how much I love the versatility of the Alphas from Lawn Fawn! Well...I wasn't lyin'! I also used their Argyle Background a small heart stamp from Peace love joy and the coffee stamp from Simply Iconic stamp set.
and so I decided to make another card for my sweet hubby! Hope you like! :D and thanks for poppin' in! :D
and then I have this card
