Challenge #332: Forest Frolic

Happy Fall Y'all.  Tammy here with this week's challenge...FOREST FROLIC!  Let's see your cute little forest critters, or maybe something with trees and leaves...it is a wood nymph?  Whatever you decide, we want to see it!  Be sure to link up below!  You have until 6pm MST on October 6th to link up.

Tammy 
I have been wanting to use this little die cut that was sent to me for a long time now, so it was fun to put it onto this little autumn card!

Stephanie

-For this project, I was inspired by pictures of my dogs watching a squirrel taunt them outside my dining room window.

Chris

I decided to do a fun title for the forest inspired theme featuring my and my awesome hubby.

Karrie

"Forest" reminded me of falling leaves and nature, and inspired this collage.

 

Majo

I made a gift card package using wooden paper as a cover. I make many of those for the upcoming Christmas season, but this design just fits a birthday present for a friend ....

This little cutie-patootie fairy with the blue hair by Wendy (Crafty Kiwi Mama) made me smile.



The galaxy background on this card by Stephanie (Crazy Crafter Blog) is awesome and that little alien is just too cute!



This gorgeous flower card by Angie (Cimbracreativefun) is just so beautiful.

Challenge #331 - Spots and Dots

Hello! Gail here to host this week's USE YOUR STUFF challenge to use spots and/or dots.

Here's my card.

I used some enamel dots to add some dimension to this layout!

This challenge immediately made me think of Minnie Mouse :)

Alcohol and Yupo paper background with black Nuvo drop spot accents.

Challenge #330: Friendship

Hello! The challenge this week is to create a project about "Friendship".

Chris

Most people may think of humans having friendships, but I chose to do this layout about my daughter's two dogs, Willie and Dolly who are both rescue dogs.  They got Willie a few years ago and when they decided to get another pup, we were all surprised since Willie didn't get along very well with other dogs.  But when they brought Dolly home, he immediately fell in love with his new best friend. They are inseparable.

Stephanie: 

 I focused on a four legged friendship between my daughter and her chihuahua for this project.

Tina
 Our friendship with members of an organization we belong, we have met so many through the club and grown to be close friends that we atleast plan a vacation/holiday a year with them.

Majo

An ATC with the lovely stamps from Rubber Moon.

Renee

Hey you is one of my favorite phrases to use when calling my friends.  I made a call using that phrase to send to a friend
