Girlz and The art of Letters - A

Good morning everyone! I have exciting news! 

I am on the design team for a brand new challenge blog ...

Girlz and The Art of Letters

Claudia and Lisbeth have graciously accepted me to the team. Here is what they have said about the challenge from the blog....  We are 2 friends who love to make cards. We like to make cards, layouts, albums, ATC etc. That's why this challenge. Everyone is welcome with their creations. The only condition is that you use the something that starts with the given letter of the alphabet. Have fun crafting Claudia and Lisbeth

Thanks so much for having me! 

So, on to the first challenge... The Letter A

 Use something, or a lot of somethings that start with the Letter A on your project. 

For this alphabet challenge I am going to be some inspirational cards using mixed media and other goodies. 


Today this is my creation for A.


I used apple red, mixed with yellow and orange acrylic paint for the background. I did some ghost stamping using an A stamp; I used candy apple distress ink to do some letter stamping, I used an All pencil to outline my adorable girl, and of course an A - mazing sentiment! 

I do hope you join us for this fun new challenge on a fun new challenge blog! 

Happy Creating!

Try it on Tuesday - Oh so Sweet

 Good morning all! The new challenge for the next two weeks is up at Try it on Tuesday,

"Oh so Sweet"

For this challenge I just had to do a little snarky-ish page! I used some burlap ink through a stencil for the background with some candy cane red splatters. I then used a die to cut out the hexagon shape and used the little hexagon scraps as embellishments as well. Then some Washi tape and my "sweet" little girl! 


Also, a huge Thanks to Esther for being our Guest Designer for this challenge! 

I do hope you will check out what the amazing design team has done and you can join us!
