CYP #182-Simply Charming

Happy Monday!  The weekend sure went fast; seems like I just left work on Friday, and now it's time to go back.  But a crafty challenge will shoo those Monday blues away.  This week's challenge at Craft Your Passion is

Use a charm

This was a fun challenge and the DT was given free reign on images this week so I pulled out my TAWS stamps (naturally).

Supplies Used:  Stamps-The Alley Way Stamps, Ink-Ranger, Paper-My Mind's Eye, Charm-Memory Makers, Twine-American Crafts, Coloring Medium-alcohol markers (Bics and Promarkers)

I got a new toy this week-a distressing tool.  Went a little nuts with it, the olive green paper St. Nick is on used to be blue.  Be sure to link up your charming creations at CYP this week!

CYP #181-the most difficult challenge (LOL)

It's Monday!  Time for a new challenge at Craft Your Passion.  This week's theme is

No Colored Images

I must confess that this was super hard for me and the rest of the DT.  We were told to sit on our hands this week-lol!

I used the image, Vintage Girl, from this week's sponsor, The Sugar Kissed Cottage.

And yes, I cheated.  Can you spot where?

I can't wait to learn a thing or two from you on using non-colored images.  So link up HERE for the challenge!

CYP 180-Autumn Colors

Good morning!  It's the start of a new week which means it's time for a new challenge at Craft Your Passion.  This week's theme is:

Autumn/Fall Colors

I made a card using an image from Barry Throughout the Year from Stamp Fairy.

I know the theme is autumn colors, but whenever I see fuzzy Barry, I cannot picture him any other color than blue.  I might have to try to force myself to make him a new color in the next card.  My hubby surprised me with a set of Bic Mark It markers, so I tried them out on Barry.  It's the first time I've used alcohol markers, and I gotta admit, I'm hooked.  Here's a closer look at Barry's cute face:

Thanks for stopping by today.  Be sure to join in the fun at Craft Your Passion this week!
