Hi Friends,

A spooky tag using creative inspiration paints. This is an extra post day. So I used the deliquesce metallic copper for the accents and the spider is in platinum  Gold shimmering paint gives it the sparkle on the edges and the squiggle marks on the tag. Stop by all the design team members blogs for more inspiration. I used a piece of double sided designer card stock and cut it 2' x 3 1/2, I cut the corners at the top on a diagonal and punched a hole in to make it a tag. I used gold paint on all the edges and aquiggly lines all through out. I had scraps of paper laying around so I glued them to the card in a design-y fashion. I used the boss embossing ink and placed a white piece of paper on it then I sprinkled the mettalic copper deliquesce on it and heat set it.  Then I used a corner punch to punch the images. After everything was done I added the spider with platinum deliquesce heat set it and then ran a purple ribbon through the hole walla there you have a spooky tag.

 I hope this inspires you to enter the challenge which is anything goes. How easy is that.

This is the same tag I just used different backgrounds to give it a different look. check out creative Inspiration paints and see what the rest of the team is up to.  click here

Have a blessed day, Diana

Hi Friends,

This is not my favorite card. I was experimenting with inlaid die cuts- Where you cute the dies out and then change the look and then place them back in the negative space they came out of. sounds simple, yes?  My colors are off and I am not happy with the design or the elements, but I thought I would share my mistake with you anyway,

I used a quick kutz die set that I have had for a long time. The ornament is from Stampin' up cut out of AC card stock.
On top of the words I used Paper trey ink  ripe avocado and a shaped sketches stamp to get the pattern on there, the same with the circles above and below the distressed dots paper (also from PTI).
I added dots on the ornament with the Sakura white gel pen.

The card stock I used is Kraft card stock, but you can't see it  because it is covered with stone shadow.
for the centers of my letters a used a green metallic pen .



Have a blessed day, Diana

Hi Friends,

It is that time of the month again- no not that time.

Time for the PTI blog hop.

I used the PTI  for all my supplies: Tag die along with Mr. bones stamp and die set. I had cut Mr. Bones out and used the image which left me with a negative (which really turns out to be a stencil) I used a distressing tool with winter wisteria ink on top of Harvest gold card stock. I had stamped spooky on the vintage cream ribbon, I wanted it to look ghostly, but it actually kind of disappeared, I guess that is  ghostly or is that ghastly? It worked after all. The pumpkin is stamped with terracotta tile and the spider and eek! with dark chocolate.
Challenges:
Lias stampz: Shaped card purple players choice

Hi Friends,

You can never have too many tags  I plan on making quite a few this week, they are quick, they are easy, and they are fun and  I need a bunch of them. I am so behind on sending a thank you out to my friends and family that I can't wait to get going on them.

First off I have to say My Craft Spot ribbon is super the colors are even and the fabric is thicker than most  and believe it or not I did a double bow. I think I am getting the hang of it thanks to my friend's Lisa and Sherrie, they make the most awesome  bows and I have learned from them.

So my cute snow person is from snow angels  and the tag  is from PTI, the coral kind of color is from my scrap pile and the light pink is stickles cotton candy. My stamp sentiment  is from MCS tasty treats-inked in PTI ripe avocado it worked perfect for a homemade snow angel

I love the way this came out I hope you do to.

Challenges:
My craft spot: Color challenge
clear it out: my vellum and the strip of coral paper


Have a blessed day, Diana

Hi Friends,
 I have sad news, a dear friend of mine passed away on Saturday, while camping with her husband and family. They were in a fairly remote area, by the time the ambulance got there, it was too late. The last eleven years we have really gotten close and we had a lot of heart to hearts. I met her in the late 70's and I will miss her very much. It was heart failure.

I won last week at Leeleecards and  this is what I won

and this is the card I made from the kit, which I will be sending today. I followed the directions- easy peasy.  There is a lot of stuff in this kit- lots of stickers.The memorial is next weekend.

It is mainly sympathy cards, the timing on the win was bitter sweet. I absolutely love the stamp set Thank you Diana- if you have not been to Lee Lee cards check it out. You will be very inspired.


Have a blessed day, Hug your loved one life is short. Diana

The leaves are falling and fall is truly here. I went to church on Saturday night instead of on Sunday morning and it was dark at 7:00 pm. The days are getting shorter, that means Thanksgiving and Christmas are upon us.  I hope you like the idea of a PUMPKIN  challenge and I hope you are up for it, because I would just love to see what you create.

The orange paper at the top is AC card stock. The green ribbon is from My Craft Spot. I used the spider web and the pure pumpkin skittles and that was it- Easy Peasy.
