Lady Anne's Paper Crafts' Friday Sentiments: Girlie With A Twist

Welcome to a new challenge at Lady Anne's Paper Crafts! The challenge is now monthly, so you have lots of time to create a project to share with us.

This month's Friday Sentiments challenge is all about the girly girl, but don't forget to add the twist of flourishes and swirls.

Since this is a "thank you" card, I would like to mention a few things that I am thankful for . . .

Blue skies & warm days (Is it really October?)

My boys, Hurley & Orwell

Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #36: Color Recipe - Magenta, Olive & Teal

It's time for color, beautiful oh, so lovely color at Tuesday Alchemy!

You can use one, two or all three along with neutrals.

If you use all three, you can earn an extra entry (See blog for details.)

Our sponsors are Di's Digi Downloads and Broken Box Designs.

I chose to use one color because teal is just one of my favorites. What's your favorite color? Is it any that are in the challenge this week?

{ IDEA }

Alter your chipboard shapes, especially if you need them to fit with your scheme or theme like I did with this house shape.

Emboss it! I removed a layer of the chipboard backing, so it would be thinner & would accept the embossing better.

Paint it! I distressed it with teal paint to bring more teal into the look of it and add extra detail.

Embellish it! Add embellishes to it like these silver brads & grosgrain ribbon.

{PIN}spirational Challenge #27: Photo - Deer In The Forest

Happy Tuesday! It's a new challenge at {PIN}spirational Challenges. As always, we share a photo for you to be inspired by. See below for what it is.

I was inspired by the deer (obviously - Ha!) and the yellow colors.

Our sponsor Squigglefly offers the perfect digital stamp for this challenge and I was lucky enough to be able to use it.

Please Call Me

I finally got around to using a stamp that I've had for a while now. It's one of my favorites because of that cute little phone. I love stamps and I have a lot, but I'm more of a collector than an actual user.

Do you use stamps? Not digital stamps, but old school rubber or clear stamps?

You Deserve A Gold Heart

For this creation, I recycled organza ribbon from a gift, giving it new life and another purpose.

The gold hearts are brads, but I removed their spokes because I don't like having them show on the inside of the card.

Have your recycled something recently? What was it?

CAS - Try It Today

I'm keeping it super simple with this creation. by using all lilac cardstock with just a few hints of black and white.

I am not a CAS crafter, so I always have to stop myself from adding more and more embellishments.

Are you fancy smancy or a clean and simple artist? Or do you enjoy doing both styles?

Three Clouds

Happy Wednesday, lovely people!

The clouds were cut by hand and freestyle. I didn't use a pattern, so each cloud is unique - just like the real deal!

I also embossed the patterned paper with swirls to add a little extra texture.

Have you made your own embellishment lately? If so, what was it? Do you enjoy making your own or do you leave it to others?

{PIN}spirational Challenge #23: Photo Inspiration - Flowers In Pots

Isn't this such a wonderful idea? Hanging pots in rows on a fence is a fantastic way to add extra beauty to an outside space.

This is our newest inspiration photo for {PIN}spirational Challenges. Aren't you just inspired? I was!

There are so many lovely little details that you can take with you as you create. We would love to see you share your project with us, too!

Our sponsor at {PIN}spirational Challenges this week is Birdie Brown, who I am a HUGE fan of!

They offer adorable and super cute digis. I was lucky enough to be able to use one for this card.

To make the "eyes" on the flowers, I layered a black rhinestone on top of my "faux" brads. They make it very fabulous AND silly, don't you think?

Thank You

Thank you for stopping by my blog! I appreciate everyone who leaves me such lovely comments & follows me to see what I'm up to everyday.

For this card, I used another card that I received for the image. The boots, pail & umbrellas were printed on a birthday card - Not the greatest card, but the image was filled with happy colors that I had to use it by fussy cutting it out.

This is a great tip! Give cards you've received new life by simply fussy cutting the images out.

Cette carte a été créée numériquement. Quand j'ai commencé, je pensais que ça allait être facile. Il n'était pas aussi facile que je pensais et il a fallu beaucoup plus longtemps que je m'attendais à ce qu'il serait. L'expérience m'a donné vraiment une appréciation pour les concepteurs graphiques!

This card was created digitally. When I first started, I thought it was going to be easy. It wasn't as easy as I thought & it took a lot longer than I expected it would. The experience definitely gave me an appreciation for graphic designers!

Depuis ma carte est le français, j'ai décidé d'ajouter mon texte en français ainsi. Que pensez-vous?

Since my card is French, I decided to add my text in French as well. What do you think?

Je suis reconnaissant pour mes amis charmants. Ils sont drôles, de soutien et toujours là quand j'ai besoin d'eux - Vous savez qui vous êtes :)

I am thankful for my lovely friends. They are funny, supportive & always there when I need them - You know who you are :)

Thank you, ladies!

I asked for help & they quickly provided it. It's so wonderful to have such supportive & giving women in my life :)

I pieced together the vibrant tulip before attaching it to a sparkling, handmade tag.
