What If? Wednesday! Designer Card Challenge & More Volunteering

Happy Wednesday everyone...We are half way through this chilly week and almost to the weekend.  Have you been crafting anything lately?  I have been busy creating themed crafts for the kiddos where I am volunteering.  So far so good.  I also just today volunteered to lead a group of volunteers to create handmade Christmas cards...750 of them before the first week in December.  They are talking about an additional 750 handmade ornaments but that is all depending on how many volunteers we get.  It is up to me to decide how many volunteers are needed for this and the what's and how to's.  This will definitely be a challenge but a fun challenge.

What If? Wednesday Designer Card Challenge

Welcome to another week of What If? Wednesday from Repeat Impressions.  This weeks Designer Card Challenge is from Patti and it is all about paper Piecing. 

Here is my card that I created for this challenge

Thank you so much for stopping by, I wanted to mention that I did say I would post some of the pictures we took of the house we went to see on Sunday...but after some thought we felt it wasn't the right investment for us to go through with at this time.  I will show you a view of what the outside looks like and one of the 50 pictures Eric and I took of the stairs, lol.  This house is a 3 story + full basement, 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, 3 fireplaces, amazing potential for so so much.  I wish circumstances were a wee bit different now and that we could get this.  But as I am learning; God has a plan and even if we don't know what it is right at this moment, God will show it to us eventually.

Thanks again for stopping by, take care and I hope you find the time to create something fun today for YOU!

What If? Wednesday Sketch Challenge

Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday!  I hope that you have been having a great week.  I know here in Milford, Ohio it's been getting pretty chilly and I LOVE it!  Fall is approaching us and I couldn't be more thrilled.  Something about the crisp air and the overall mood in the atmosphere just gets me all cheery.  

Speaking of getting all cheery...we are having a sketch challenge at Repeat Impression for What If? Wednesday! and we would love for you to play along.

Here is Wendy's sketch #S1912

Here is my take on this great sketch

I wanted to go with a Fall feel for this card and I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out.

The stamps used are both from Repeat Impressions

Maple Leaf Sil (5127) 

&

May All Your Dreams (423)

What I did with the Maple Leaf stamp was use Memento ink colors: Rich Cocoa, Tangelo, Lady Bug and Bamboo Leaves to give it a Fall like appearance and repeatedly stamped the image over a piece of  ivory card stock.

The sentiment stamp was inked using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and layered onto some HOTP paper lifted up on one thickness of foam adhesive. 

All the paper is from HOTP (Hot Off The Press) except for the ivory card stock and brown card stock used for the base.

4 gold brads are used to embellish

Please take a moment to check out the other Rock Stars take on this sketch!
