Treehouse "Stationary Set" Challenge

Hello and happy Thursday. It's time for our challenge from the Treehouse Blog THT022. Our challenge today is to make a Stationary Set as a gift. Well, I have never made a stationary set so I was a little scared when I read this challenge. It turns out that I didn't need to be scared and that it was actually a lot of fun to make. I used the stamp set Simple Wishes from Treehouse Stamps. The sentiment panel is computer generated and those are my initials. Yes, I made me some stationary. LOL!! Thought I better test out this new project on myself before I made one to send to someone. Now, I am confident that this is a gift that I would be proud to give a friend. Here are 3 pics of my project.....

Thanks for stopping by today. Check back in with me tomorrow for another project. I'll talk to you soon.

Hugs,

Treehouse Thursday

Hello and happy Thursday and welcome to our Treehouse Thursday Challenge THT021. Our challenge today is a "Fall Color Challenge" and you are to use Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Soft Suede; or similar colors if you don't have these. I started with the set Simple Wishes from Treehouse Stamps and paired it with some paper by K&Co. The main focal panel was stamped and then sponged with Certainly Celery and Soft Suede. Here is my card .....

So, what do you think of my card? It's a little more "shabby" then I normally make but I'm kinda liking it. It's good to get out of our comfort zone sometimes, isn't it? I hope you can play along with us on the challenge this week. Make sure and use the keyword THT021 and add your card to Mr. Linky on the Treehouse Blog.

Thanks for stopping by today. I am so glad you came to visit. I'll talk to you soon.

Jen's SFYTT With a Cutsie Polar Bear

Hello and happy Sunday. Today is going to be a family day for me. We are going to play Phase10, go to a Corn Maze this evening, play football, and then watch Flash Forward from this past Thursday since we missed it that night. Is anyone else as addicted to this show as we are? I can't wait for it to come on each week. It is definitely keeping me on the edge of my seat.

I made a card for Jen's Sketch For You to Try from this weekend using two $1 Spot Stamps that are sold by Treehouse Stamps. This Polar Bear is just the cutest image!!! You really need to go check out their stamps cause this is a nice, big image for just a dollar. The sentiment, Merry & Bright, is also a $1 stamp and it's nice and big also. The stamps are made by Imaginisce and are called Snag 'em Stamps. Go to the Treehouse Stamps store and snag you some. Here is my card .......

I told you he was precious, didn't I? I think this little Polar Bear is just a cutie patootie. The patterned paper matches this stamp and I got it a local scrapbooking store. It's made by Imaginisce too.

Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure and come back tomorrow for our sketch from the Little Paper Shop. I'll talk to you soon.

Treehouse Challenge THT017

Hello and welcome to another Treehouse Thursday Challenge THT017. Our challenge this week is "Alter It". I took a DVD tin and added some designer paper and used one of the new stamp sets, Autumn Blessings, that is being released today along with 3 other sets from Treehouse Stamps. I am so ready for fall here in Northwest GA.  It has just this week dropped from the high 80's to the 70's.  Starting to feel like Fall is finally coming. I made a couple of 3x3 cards to go in the DVD tin. Cute, huh? Come on out and play along with our challenge this week. It's a fun one. Altering things gets me out of my mode of creating cards only. Link your card to the Mr. Linky on the Treehouse Blog and when you upload to a public gallery make sure and use the keyword THT017. 

Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be back in a few with another project. Talk to you then.

Happy Birthday to You

Hello and happy Thursday. It's time for The Treehouse Blog's Thursday Challenge THT016. Our challenge this week is the "Masking Technique". I stamped my cupcakes using this technique. It makes them look like they are stacked one on top of another. I really like the masking technique as it gives your project more dimension.

I really hope you can play along with us today. Make sure and add your card to our Mr. Linky and when you upload to a public gallery, use the keyword THT016. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Thanks for stopping by and I'll talk to you soon.

THT010 - Watercoloring and SFYTT

Hello and welcome to Treehouse's Thursday Challenge THT010. Our challenge today is Watercoloring. You need to watercolor your image with either your aqua painter or a watercolor brush. Easy huh? I decided to use Jen's SFYTT from this past Saturday for my card today. I stamped the Inkadinkado turtle image, Birthdays are Good For You, on watercolor paper. You can buy this stamp at Treehouse Stamps. I colored him with ink pads and an aqua painter, like my hero Mercy. If you ever sat down and watched her watercolor with ink pads and an aqua painter you would know what I mean. She's amazing.

Thanks for stopping by today and play along with our challenge if you can. You can load your card on The Treehouse Blog using Mr. Linky. When you upload to SCS and your blog make sure and use the keyword THT010. It's a fun challenge and it got me out of my comfort zone of using my Copic Markers all the time.

I'll talk to you soon.
