It’s already time for a new challenge! 

Challenge #260 ~ Anything Goes w/optional twist - Make it Spooky!

    Hello crafting friends, and welcome to this month's challenge

 at Crafty Gals Corner! 

It’s always exciting to see the different ways everyone comes up with for the challenges.  And as usual, it’s always hard to pick out who will win, because we love all of them, and we consider everyone a winner!

Here are our sponsors for this month’s challenge.

The Paper Shelter

Prize: 3 Digital Stamps

On the 25th of September 2024, Veronica, co-owner of The Paper Shelter store, tragically passed away. To honour Veronica, Pedro, the other co-owner, will be continuing The Paper Shelter store, and we will continue with our challenge, remembering how much passion Veronica brought to their art, and how much she will be missed. To learn a little more about Veronica's kindness, generosity and creativity, please see the post on The Paper Shelter Blog. 🙏

So now on with my project. For this month, I am using a digital from Polkadoodles, Ruby Raindrop Umbrella.  Here she is:

Isn’t she a real cutie? I thought I’d do her in seasonal colors, since I don’t do Halloween. Before I do anything else, after I print out my image, I go ahead and color her. And then once I color her, I decide on what colors I want to use for my papers and backgrounds. And this is what I came up with this time around. And I love the colors And hope you do too!

I hope that you will join our challenge, And share the challenge with others! Thank you for stopping by!

Blessings,

Jeanie

Using: Christmas Angel

Colour of Love

So for my card, I used this amazing little angel, simply called Christmas Angel. She's adorable and so fun! I wanted her to look happy and have bright colors. I used my TriColor Markers for her, and once done, I cut out a background stencil and added her on top of the pink background. I added a couple of snowflakes and a sentiment. I didn't want to add too much, because I wanted her to have the full attention.

Over the years, we have seen a lot of beautiful cards who joined the challenges. They are never easy to choose from, because we consider everyone a winner! But it's always more fun to try for the giveaways! So I hope that you will join in our challenge for this month!

Using: Roses

LeAnn's World 101

This week's challenge was anything goes with a twist of fancy fold card. I chose to do the Z fold card, angling the third panel. I colored my roses with ink oxides, and then didn't a little bit of colored pencils inside the roses. The inside of the card is pretty self-explanatory. Everyone on the team did a great job. I love how creative everyone is, and how creative our entrants are. So I hope that you will join in the challenge! 

Have a great week! And a great Father's day next week. Thank you for coming by. 

Many blessings,

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #255

 Hello, fellow crafty people! Can you believe it's already time for another challenge?? The time is flying by! My Dad always said, "The older you get the faster time goes by." And you know what? I believe him! It sure is going fast! My last grandchild will graduate this year.

The theme for our challenge at Crafty Gals Corner this month is: 

~ Anything Goes w/Twist being Add Lace &/or Pearls ~

 Our wonderful and very generous sponsor for this challenge is 

Moondrea Designs

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

For my card, I used the Gina Antoinette.  And here is what I did:

Isn't she lovely? I just love her! So for my colors, I used TriBlend from Spectrum Noir. These markers are awesome because they have a great solution for combining colors....from light to Dark. Hence the name.

I simply mounted her on a white cardstock and then onto the black, Then I added flat pearls for her jewelry and added a lace bow with a pearl button.

I hope you enjoy her and that you get some inspiration from her! Please head over to Crafty Gals Corner and join in on this fun challenge!

Colour of Love

Isn't she a real cutie?? I had a lot of fun with her....wait....I always say that! Lol! But I really do mean it! I just love digital images!

I used a set of markers that are new to me. They weren't expensive like some brands. These are called "ArtSkills Blendable Markers". They are really good!

So of course I started by printing the image, then colored it with the new markers. I mounted her on Creative Memories papers. Then I simply added a little decoration to it, and she was done! Simple, and yet I think she came out pretty good. 

I sure hope that you will join us for this awesome challenge! Anything Goes is a wide open crafty space full of ideas!

Thank you for stopping by,

Pattie's Creations

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

I love the the fact that we can do anything for this project. So as I sat and pondered about it, what did I do? Ummm...another card! 😂 Here is my card:

Jeanie

Using:  Leprechaun Hat with Shamrocks

Pattie's Creations

As you can see, it wasn't the regular card I normally do. I'm not sure, but I think it's called a 3 panel trifold card. Anyway, it was very fun to do! 

There are a lot of tutorials out there to show how I made my catd (that's how I got it 😂). I did a lot of layering and I used a small heart punch to make the shamrocks. Also, I used my new set of markers by Artskills. I must tell you...they are GOOD markers! I love them!

I hope you will join us in this month's challenge! We love seeing the diversity of cards!

Have a blessed day!
