This was a cute new set of stamps for me and they are so perfect for this magic picture!  These wolves are cuties and the sentiment fits perfectly on the card.

This Was a Toughie From Craft Roulette

 On Friday, March 29, the Wheel spun again and delivered the fatal blow. 
Project: Joy Fold Card
Colors: Buggy Ride
Element: Stick(s) and Stone(s)
Random: Trim(s) or Trimming(s)

Ahhh, yeah, right... All I could think of was that saying: "Sticks and Stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me".

Today, I finally decided to just go with the flow. I did make a Joy Fold Card.  On the front of the card are sticks & stones and trim.  Stones are the stone tiles (green crosses on white) while the two sticks sticking out on the left side are the sticks.  The branch is ticked behind the Ribbon Trim on the vertical.  A buggy ride would pass under the sky and pass by a car.

Inside of Card below:
I felt a buggy ride would pass lots of leaves on the ground and even a zoo.  There is even trim on the inside left side of the card.

I chose Stone as the stone tile on the floor and put the little twigs tucked into my Trim as the sticks.  A Buggy Ride might pass a zoo and other cars.  It's not that a Joy Fold card is that difficult, but I find it unwieldly and not what I usually like to create.

Rubbernecker stamps Splatter Leaves
Rubbernecker stamps Bunch of Bears

Last week's Craft Roulette Play

I finally had time to play with the challenge that the Wheel set for us at
Kraft Roulette. 

The turn of the wheel came to rest on
Project: Include an envelope
Colors: Party
Element: Crown
Random: 3 strips of paper

I just got this in at almost the last minute because I was working on some other projects.  I have a photo list of all my stamps, dies and stencils saved under the manufacturer/seller names.  Every time I order something, I put it and a photo on my list and I love being able to SEE what's in the stamp/die set, not just what the name of it is.  So very helpful.

I'd forgotten I had this envelope full of flowers that I had colored, but never used and it was obviously perfect for the challenge.  I hit project, colors and crown (the top or highest part of something) just with this one set.  Then I looked up and the Altenew die stared me in the face challenging me to use it, again, never used before, wait, never even die-cut before.  The die has so many strips that I couldn't help but use the die.  I think the peach color makes it feel soft and warm.

Supplies:
Altenew Letter Flowers Bundle (stamps & dies)
My Favorite Things Quilt Square Cover-up Die

I cut two sets of the Waffle Flower Postage Collage Die, then cut off the end of one and added it to this 5 X 7 inch card to extend the background. The aquamarine gem in the girls hair was in a bag of gems, no idea what brand they are.
I used the Waffle Flower shader brushes (double ended) and found I really like these for getting into small spaces.  They feel so soft and I love them.
I couldn't post this until I was sure my friend had received it.

My February Card for Card Chain Challenge

 

I thought of balloons and flowers (no balloons or flowers were hurt in this post). I knew the exact die I wanted to use (I absolutely love this die and it's not been for sale for a long time - it's a keeper).  I looked for some paper and found this in my stash.  I've never been able to use this pattern before and I have no idea what company brand this is - no brand name on the back.  

Supplies:
Elizabeth Craft Design Big Balloon
Waffle Flower Hello Friends Sentiments
NO COLORING on this card (I know, unbelievable)
