Glad Tidings at FQCCC!

FarmQuest Country Christmas Challenge has a brand-new challenge for you to join! 

This challenge blog is all about celebrating the cozy, rustic charm of country life during the holidays — think barns, wildlife, snow-covered fields, and all things outdoorsy and festive! 

Each challenge is Anything Goes, as long as it captures that country Christmas feel.

We are a just-for-fun challenge, but you could earn our Grand Champion Winner Badge (with a Guest DT invite) or proudly display our Wintery Top 3 Badge on your blog or socials.

I created a shaker card featuring images from Tidings of Great Joy by Pink Fresh Studio. The images are colored with Copic markers, except for the white berries where Nuvo Drops were used and glossy accents was applied to the red/pink berries for some added dimension and shine.

I can’t wait see what you create — and don’t forget to check out the blog for beautiful inspiration from the rest of the Design Team!

Happy crafting!

'tis the Season Shaker

Christms Bingo Challenges has a new challenge ready to go for you!

CBC will feature a new Bingo card for each challenge and while this isn't your typical game of BINGO, you are required to use at least three items in ONE column. This challenge will run September 1st through October 15th

We are a "just for fun" challenge where you will have the chance to proudly display our Winner or Top Pick Badge! 

The column I chose is "I", Aperture, Distressing Ink (blue snowflake), Shaker, Dots

I used Stitched Snowflake Frame die-cut by Lawn Fawn to created the aperture and the sentiment, Merry Circle Tags by Avery Elle (no longer available) was stamped with Versa Mark then set with silver embossing powder.  The smaller blue snowflake was created using a die cut after I applied Distress Inks to white cardstock.

So glad you stopped by and I look forward to seeing your creation!

Merry Little Christmas - ATG #52 (Oct 15) .

Sending Sunshine

A new month brings a new challenge at Get Creative Challenges!

Our theme this month is Springtime Blues and you will have until May 2nd to add your creation!

We have moved to a JUST FOR FUN challenge and I hope you will continue to play along so you have a chance to proudly display our Winners Badge or Top 3 Badge.

I've had enough of the springtime blues, bring on the warm weather and enough rain already!

I created this shaker card based on a previous creation I found on Pinterest by Christine.  Those who follow my posts know that I'm not particularly fond of creating shaker cards and yes, there were no shortages of problems along the way!  

Thanks so much for stopping by and make sure you hop over to Get Creative Challenges for some inspiration from our fabulous Design Team!

My Time to Craft - Springtime .

Autumn Blessings

 It's time for another fab challenge at Creative Knockouts!  Our theme for this challenge is "Pick 2 or more: and our amazing sponsor for this challenge is Pattie's Creations!

For this challenge, I'm working Autumn Blessings.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to print and cut the beautiful collection of leaves to add a window in the center.  I printed the sentiment on turquoise card stock then started assembling the shaker card, my choice of 2 or more.

I FINALLY got the hang of making shaker cards, I figured out that the foam tape I had used in the past was too thick so the sequins inside was too loose.  Yeah me, lol.

Make sure you check out the amazingly creative creations from our Design Team then it's your turn to start creating!
