Digital-Ink Co " "Fall Ya'll Challenge

Fall is my favorite season....

While going through everyone's blog updates ran across "Digital-Ink's" Fall Challenge.  So After making coffee and getting my favorite blank to wrap up in I sat down and decided to take a stab at it.  Cards are not my "Norm", in fact this is only my 4th card to make.  The stamp kit I used is by "Inkadinkado"  #96624 Tree.  It was the first time I had used it and I really like it.  This was perfect to do for this morning, because it is cold, wet and raining outside. 

Supplies:  "Indadinkado" Stamp #96624, We R Memory Keepers Note Card,  Tan and White Card stock, newspaper, Ribbon with slide tag.

The Accident....

   "The Story Begin's"..... I woke my usually early time around 5:30 am and made coffee.... I then sat at my computer to check my email and I had run across "Digital-Ink's" Fall Challenge.  It sparked my creative energy this morning and off I went...

Early morning creativity hard at work, while all the little children's sleep....

As you can see my youngest son  "Dustin" is having to use his "First Aid" training skills from Boy Scouts to assist me this morning while my creative energy was hard at work....

THE REASON!

"ProvoCraft Silent Setter + my Stitch puncher  = First Aid Kit

Even though I had a little set back and had to obtain medical assistance from a 13 yr old, I was able to complete my project. (See Below)  Lesson Learned:  You can not use SHARP,  POINTY, object to remove paper from my very small setter attachment... "Will I try it again", off course!

"HAPPY HOLIDAYS"

Was the project I was working on when I injured my self.

Supplies:  White and Black card stock of choice, Heidi Swapp-Edge Distressing tool, Choice of Black and White Inks,  "Red, Green, Brown and Black Vellum Writers", Gold and Clear Glitter Pen and brads.

MY CARD COLLECTION

Well, as you can see I did a little playing around with my supplies tonight.  This is first time in a very long time that I have been so inspired thanks to all you wonderful, creative people out there.  I altered my first card tonight... "HOWDY" (see top left photo for altered card and click on the word "HOWDY" to see the first version).  I really wasn't totally happy with the first one, so I created this one tonight.  I tore the top section of the card off and trimmed it down and layered it on top of another notecard and then added a few star brads for a little more "Cowgirl Bling".  I am happy with this outcome.  Let me know what you think... I love "Constructive"  critisim and suggestions to make my art pop!  So dont be affraid to let me know.

Cowgirl.....

Supplies used:  We R Memory Keepers Note Cards, Stickles by Ranger "Magenta", Sparkle Gelly Roll Ren, Zig Writer: "Candy Pink" & "Pure Black", Creative Imaginations Epoxy Stickers, Cowgirl Stamp

I broke out my stamp and ink box tonight and found my FAVORITE stamp... I just had to play with it and create something... so this is my creation!

Card #2

Supplies Used:  Deco Sissors, "We R Memory Makers" Note Card from the Comstock Collection, Stickles by Ranger in Cinnamon and Candy Cane

Well came home with intentions on entering a challenge with this card.  However, I found this over at Beary Dust Stamps Blog and can't locate the url now.  On top of that realized that you had to use one of their stamps and I DON'T have one.  So, I just made my own version and here it is.  I had just got home from work and class and needed something to unwind and this was just the ticket.  It's simple, but it's only m y second one... I've always done 12x12 layouts and want to branch out so this is my effort.......!
