 This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge is to use lots of layers.

I used Coffee And... from The Artsy Stamper.  The image was colored with Copics and cut out using the Silhouette.  The background paper is from the Nitwit Collections Coffee Talk kit.

I love coffee and my daughter said the sentiment should say that it is a Lie-tte!  Haha!  I guess she doesn't believe I love her more than coffee!

Fall Favorites

The challenge this month at Crafty Gals Corner is Anything Fall.  Let's see your fall images, colors, and embellishments.

I used Pumpkin Crow from Bugaboo and colored it with Copic markers.  I used the Silhoutte Cameo to cut it out.  A few of my favorite embellishments and it was done!  The background paper is from the Nitwit Collections Not Far to Fall.  I love that it looks like a cozy flannel close up!

Bitty Birthday

This week at Creative Knockouts we have a challenge that is sure to put a little bling on your project!  We want to see you sparkle and shine!

This is Little Miss Bitty from Fred She Said Designs.  She was colored with Copic markers.  It is hard to capture sparkle and shine on the camera, but she has a ton!  Her wings have clear Wink of Stella.  The die is cut from glitter paper.  The sentiment was done using the Foil Quill on my Silhouette Cameo, so it has a ton of shine!  And of course, all of the gems are sparkly!

It is time for the new challenge at Li'l Patch of Crafty Friends.  I hope you will play along.

I used Baked You a Cake from Polkadoodles for my project.  I had some technical difficulties and had to fussy cut her by hand.  But it all worked out in the end.  The background paper is from Nitwit Collections' Happy Bornday.  The sentiment is simply one of the word strips cut from a left over scrap

Top o' the Mornin'

It is time for another challenge at the Crafty Gals Corner.  This week the challenge is Luck of the Irish.  We want to see a shamrock or clover on your project.

I used Coffee or Tea Panda from Kitty Bee Designs.  I placed him on a background paper from Nitwit Collections' Bit O' Blarney papers.  I cut out a shamrock from a scrap and placed it over the heart on the panda's cup.  The sentiment was created using the Silhouette software.  It was a cut file that is filled and printed.

Hug in a Mug

This week at Crafty Gals Corner, our theme is Anything Fall Goes.  So if it has a fall theme, it is welcome in our challenge this week.

I used I Love Fall Season Panda from Kitty Bee Designs for my project.  The paper I used for the sky is an old digital file from Dee Dee's Digis.  I am pretty sure the site is gone now, but I love this paper and use it for so many fall themed projects.  The paper I used for the ground is from NitWit Collections Coffee Talk collections.  It is actually coffee beans!  The stamp came from the Rubbernecker Stamps Coffee Set and I cut it out using the Rubbernecker Stamps Stitched Banner dies.

Happy Fall

Usually September brings cooler temperatures, but here in the panhandle of Florida, it is still warm and humid.  I look forward to when the temperatures will drop and the humidity slacks off.  Our challenge at Fabrika Fantasy is all about cool temperatures and fall colors.  We want to see your Autumn projects.

I love fall.  When we lived up north, the fall colors were gorgeous and I looked forward to them every year.  We don't have fall colors down here, but at least I can still color with them!  This is Autumn Fairy.  She was colored with Copic markers.  I loved coloring her with all of my favorite fall colors.  The background paper is from Nitwit Collections' Autumn Enchantment.

You have a chance to win some great Fabrika Fantasy prizes for playing along.  Show us your Fabrika Fantasy project and you have a chance to win even more.  You will be entered in a special drawing just for projects using a Fabrika Fantasy image.

Buy Happiness

Hello Rubbernecker fans!  I have some exciting news!  Rubbernecker Stamps is a sponsor for the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!  You can pop over to the blog and check out the great prizes Rubbernecker Stamps will be offering.  I got this adorable owl just in time to make a card for the occasion.

This is Preston! Isn't he just the sweetest?!  He has a number of friends in the shop as well.  Check them out while you are there!  Preston was colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  The sentiment is Buy Happiness and the images on the sentiment came from the Coffee Blanket stamp set.  I cut them out using the matching dies.  Preston and Buy Happiness are red rubber and the Coffee Blanket set is clear.  I love the clear sets from Rubbernecker Stamps.  They stamp crisply and clean up like a dream.  I used a couple of the new sets of nesting dies too.  These cross stitch dies come in all of the basic shapes!  I used the square and the rectangle set.  Love them!  The background paper is from Nitwit Collections and is part of the Coffee Talk bundle.

Have you heard that there is a new Rubbernecker Stamps Fans group on Facebook?!  If you use Facebook, come join us!  We would love to see your projects and show you ours!  We are going to have challenges as well.  Pop in and say hello.
