Sentimental Sundays #190

Since today is Sunday, I'd like to invite you to our new challenge at

Sentimental Sundays.

Sponsoring this week we have:

Paper Pretties

The theme we'd like to see you play with this week is

More Than 3 Layers

This is so appropriate for those of us here in central Indiana....we're all about layering it up right now.  Layers of clothes, layers of blankets, and layers of snow. This month is only 2/3 over and already we've had almost 23 inches.  ~~We average around 9 inches of snow for January.~~  In fact, it's snowing as I type this post and this was the view of our swimming pool while I made this card:

Buried under that snow, there really is a diving board.
We had about 11 inches of snow then....
from just one snow storm.
Ugh.

Needless to say, I'm really in the mood for some warm weather.

So I did the only thing I could do:  I worked with sunny colors.

That awesome image is "Helium" from Paper Pretties.

The sentiment is one of the 3 that are included with your purchase.

It's such a great value!  I loved coloring this adorable little guy with my ProMarkers.  He's definitely going to show up on some

Valentine's Day cards too.

The color scheme of the card was inspired by that great striped ribbon.  It's one that I picked up from the Michaels $1 ribbon bin.

The brads are Recollections.

The shimmery patterned paper is a Hambly Studio Screen Print from Paper Temptress.  It's called Little Circles.

All of the other items used to make this card are listed below.

You can find this card in the following challenges:
Di's Digi Designs -- Spots and dots
My Time to Craft -- All about the love
Jo's Scrap Shack -- It's a love thing
Simply Create Too -- Valentine's Day or use hearts
DRS Designs -- Love/marriage
Really Reasonable Ribbon -- Love and ribbon
Hobbycutz -- Lots of layers




All of us on the Design Team are so excited to see loads of great entries in our 3 Layers or More challenge this week.  Remember that because we are Sentimental Sundays we do need to see a sentiment on your projects.

CWLC #66 -- Thank you

Everyone at 

Created with Love Challenges

would like to thank everyone who was able to participate in last week's challenge.  We also would like to invite you to join us for our new theme:

Thank you

Our sponsor this week is:

Paper Pretties

One lucky winner will be able to select 6 digis from their huge assortment of great images!

They were so generous in allowing all of the Design Team at CWLC to select our own image to use for our inspiration pieces this week.

I chose to use Hialeah.
She comes with 3 sentiments:
the 2 that I used and "Just because."

This card will be included in my November shipment to
Operation Write Home
so I kept it to an A2 size with a very low profile.

Hialeah was so fun to color and it's such a sweet image.
I know I'll be using this one again and again!

You can find this card in the following challenges:

613 Avenue -- Anything goes w/ twist of thanks
Path of Positivity -- Thankfulness
Parade Your Crafts -- Grateful

I, along with all of the CWLC Design Team, look forward to seeing your new Thank you projects.  Good luck to all who enter!!

Created with Love Challenges Halloween Hop

 This week is my first week on the Design Team at
Created with Love Challenges.
Actually, I wasn't scheduled to officially begin until the first challenge in November.  When I saw that there's a Halloween Blog Hop this week, I asked if I could jump in early.  Chris and Dawn are such dolls
they said yes, of course.

It's so exciting to tell you that have 3 wonderful sponsors to help us celebrate our hop!  Make sure to check out their shops...loads of fun stuff in each one of them.

Bugaboo Stamps

They are offering a 7 Digi Prize Pack to 1 lucky winner!

Paper Pretties

 They are offering 6 images to 1 lucky winner!

Limited Runs

They are offering 3 images to 1 lucky winner!!

If you hopped in from Rachel's then you are in the right place.  If you've just happened by here, please be sure to start at the beginning....you don't want to miss anything.

Here is what I have created this week for the Halloween Hop:

Instead of doing a card, I decided to decorate the bowl that we'll be using on Halloween to pass out candy to all of our little neighborhood goblins.  The image is just attached with some super cute baker's twine so the bowl will be ready to use again after the Trick or Treaters have all finished.  No pesky adhesive to worry about cleaning up....love that!

I was lucky enough to receive this adorable digi from Paper Pretties to play with for our hop.  His name is Jack and he's pretty darned cute.  Right?!  I sure think so!

The ingredient used to make this project were:
My ProMarkers
Papers: Recollections
Baker's twine: Etsy
Buttons: Hobby Lobby

You can find this project in the following challenges:

Anything But a Card -- Orange and black
Catered Crops -- Orange is the new black
Hobbycutz -- Home decor, anything but a card
Totally Gorjuss -- String
