I Love Picadilly Paper

I am in LOVE! 

Yup, true, head-over-heels in love!  I opened my 12x12 package of Picadilly Paper Collection from BasicGrey .... oh my!!! Have you seen all the lovely papers in there??!!  It makes me want to run out and buy a second package to keep so I can use this package ... how bad is that?

So when I saw this wonderful inspiration photo from Jay Gee's Nook - Challenge #16, I knew what to do!

Ahhhhhh, simply beautiful with minimal work on my part .. the papers did all the work!!

And since I used such lovley papers, I'm also entering this into the Pattern Paper Challenge over on Lily Pad Cards blog. 

The sentiment is from Half & Half (Papertrey Ink), the yellow crochet thread was actually white that I dyed yellow to fit the theme, and a black button (PTI) to finish the whole thing off!  I hand cut the panel that the sentiment is on and drew the black line around it free hand. 

Okay, off to create many, many more cards with these beautiful papers ... LOVE I tell ya!!

Jay Gee's Nook #14 -

Hey everyone!  Today I want to share with you my creation for Jay Gee's Nook #14 challenge.  Look at all the amazing inspiration in this ... I could create a hundred cards based on this one inspiration collage!!  But I finally decided to focus in on that package about mid photo .. the one with the pine cones and branches .. see it.....

And here is the card that I ended up with (sorry the color is not good, I continue to struggle with lighting issues in my craft room/whole house!!):

I used an old classic Fantastic Foliage from Stampin' Up! ... long since retired but I will never part with it!! 

I curved the pine cones and added some dimensional adhesive underneath to pop them out.  You can tell a bit better here in this photo. 

Okay, I know there are going to be lots of great creations based on this challenge ... off to check them out.

Drop back in tomorrow for my first Design Team card for the Crafty Creative Challenge blog.

Country Scene

On Jay Gee's Nook there is a challenge that is always pretty interesting but I rarely get a chance to actually play.  So I made an effort this week to get a card made and actually uploaded in time!!  Challenge #13 is to use a holiday stamp to create a non-holiday card!  Sheesh, that was hard!!  But here is my end result ... a fun Country Scene!!

Lots of Christmas trees (from Made of Snow - Papertrey Ink)... but on a bright sunny day, they just look like good old pine trees.  Here is a side photo of some of the dimension ...

And see those polka dots on the clouds ... they are actually the 3 buttons from the snowman repeatedly stamped (from same set).   Sentiment is from Round and Round (anniversary set- Papertrey Ink).  All papers are BasicGrey ...yummy!!

Off to see what others did...

Thanks for dropping by for a little visit!! Come again some time :-)
