My Mind's Eye Card-Making Frenzy

Since I used papers from the MME pad "Moments" to create a card for Sketch # 147, I have been creating more cards using these patterned papers and having a blast! I only have a few scraps left, maybe enough for one more card for OWH. And I love this sentiment.

The kitchen table is my temporary work space, so it needs to get emptied of crafting items before our belated Thanksgiving on Saturday. So I am using pieces of this and that to make more cards instead of stashing 'em.

Happy Thanksgiving to one and all and thanks for stopping by!

OWH Sketch # 147

Here's the Sunday Sketch over at Operation Write Home. And this is my interpretation. I realize it is a little crooked. I am working on a second one which will be more better!

DP: My Mind's Eye "Moments" Paper Pad

OWH Sketch #146

Sunday's sketch was so much fun to use! So I made one card for two challenges. This one is also going to Shopping Our Stash Challenge 77: Thank You or Thanksgiving. And yes, I shopped my personal stash for everything I used :)

Doodle Pantry Digital Challenge 29

The red Bazzill CS matches the scarf much better in person.

Shopping Our Stash Challenge 75: Flowers in 3-D

It has been a long time since I posted here and I am glad to be back home in San Diego! Hubby and I took a marathon vacation back east to visit family in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. And boy are we glad we missed Super Storm Sandy!

In Pennsylvania, I visited a total of 10 Scrapbooking stores as part of a "Shop Hop". I came home with take-and-makes and small, purchased items. One of the gifts was a selection of brown cardstock, flowers, and brads. Here is my 3-D flower creation using CS, DP, flowers, and stamped sentiment from this take-and-make. Oh, and dark brown CS from my stash :)

S & S Midweek Challenge

Here's a color challenge---use red and green on a card! No problem. These are traditional Christmas colors, but I made a Birthday card. The card will also be entered into the Shopping Our Stash Challenge 69: Emboss it!

DP: Double-sided "Mairzy Doats - Snappy Stripe" by Dream Street Papers
