Inky Impressions challenge


Happy Wednesday, and Happy Fall.  Can you believe that fall has arrived already?  Here in New Hampshire, we have been seeing signs of Fall for a few weeks.  It has started getting cooler, the leaves have started to change, and all the local farms are full of Mums, pumkins and fresh picked apples.  MMMmmm..this is my absolute favorite time of year.
 My card today was made for Inky Impressions Wednesday challenge.  This weeks challenge is to make a card and use 4 different embellishments. Embellishments are easy right.  I also combined my Inky Challenge with this weeks Mojo Monday sketch.

Wanna see what the amazing DT over at Inky Impressions did with the challenge?  You can check them out :

Seeing that it is the second day of fall,I thought I would share with you some pictures I took recently at one of my local farms.

 Well,  that is all for me today.  I hope you have a FABULOUS Wednesday.  Just think the weekend is almost here.Yahoooo.....
Have a great day and Happy Creating!

I'm Diggin Ya!


Happy Tuesday!  Did you have a good weekend? Did you do anything special? My family and I had a very low key weekend.  I worked on Saturday and a full day Sunday, so we mostly just hung around the house.
   I did make this card, which I have to admit I "truely" enjoyed coloring this image.  I have had this High Hopes stamp forever, but I have never inked it up.  This was such a simple card to make and I like how it turned out.  FINALLY. 
   Do you ever get into that creative funk. where you hate everything you make?  Well, that is where I have been for a couple of months now.  So I was pleased that I made a card which "I" thought was acceptable.  I will say my card was inspired by the amazing Nikki Estes. 
  

Well, that is all I have today.  I am off to get the kids on the bus, and then to work.  I will be back tomorrow with Inky Impressions challenge.  Have a great day and thank you for stopping by.

I love Halloween because it's during Fall and I LOVE Fall and all the decor and good things that go along with it. My favorite memories of Halloween are trick-or-treating when I was in Middle School with friends and taking pillow cases for our sacks and not coming home until they were almost too heavy to carry! Awesome blog candy, thanks for the chance to win =)

Please e-mail me your mailing address, so I can get your Halloween prize in the mail.  Congrats and thanks for playing!

Three clover Thursday with Sweet Lili


Happy Thursday!  Has it been a good week? Well, not sure if you have noticed, but I haven't posted anything since last sunday.  OMGoodness. 
    Life has been a bit crazy for me lately. The semester has started, which means HOMEWORK, and STUDYING.  I love school, but I hate studying.  It takes me forever to remember stuff, and I am currently taking Anatomy & PhysiologyII, so there is a whole lot of remembering.  Anyway, between school, work and my family, I have been straight out, and exhausted.
    So it's Thursday, and Thursdays mean Three Clover Thursday Challenge.  This weeks challenge was do doodle (free hand) on your card.  Well, I love to doodle, so not to hard for me.
   I also combined this challenge with this weeks Inky Impressions challenge.  Inky Impressions challenge was to stitch on your card (either faux or real).  I chose to faux stitch the inner circle on my card.  I used Inky Impressions newly released Lili awareness ribbon-(A portion of the proceedsof this stamp will be donated to the NATIONAL BREAST CANCER FOUNDATION & ALSO THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION).  I think I got carried away with the gems around the ribbon, but it is, what it is right.
   So, wanna play in the challenges?  We would love to have you join us on either challenge.  They are all a great group of people and so creative.  If you don't have a chance to play, and just need inspiration, head on over to Inky Impressions or Three clover's challenge for some amazing inspiration.
Well, that is all today.  Have a great day and Happy Creating!
