Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #247 - Signs of Fall

Hello, fellow crafters! Are you ready for Fall?? Well, we here at Crafty Gals Corner Challenges sure are! 

So for this month's theme, we are celebrating  

~ Signs of Fall ~

Our sole sponsor for this challenge is  

Beccy's Place

Prize ~  $10 Gift Certificate

I'm ready for cooler weather....but not freezing! I'm not ready for really cold weather. Fall and Spring are my favorite seasons (temperature wise), but my favorite holidays are Christmas and Easter. 

For this challenge, I chose some pumpkins to color...I love coloring pumpkins! This beautiful image is called Pumpkins and Sunflowers. To me, these are definite signs of Fall. Here is what I did:

I decided I'd try coloring this on some Kraft paper, just to see how it looked. And I do love the look of the Kraft paper! I used coloring pencils on this card. And then I used a stamp "sprinkles" with black ink. Lastly, I added the sentiment, Hello Fall. And then I layered the image onto cardstock, and I was done! Simple, yet hopefully effective! 

Come on over and join us for this challenge! Loads of fun! You just might be the winner of this challenge! But we see all of you as winners anyway! Just have fun crafting!

See you there!

Christmas in July - Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #232

Hello, fellow crafters! Guess what time it is?? It's time for a new monthly challenge over at The Crafty Gals Challenge Blog! The theme for this challenge is:

I just LOVE Christmas! So I'm always excited to make something for Christmas! And it's never too early to start making Christmas cards! I never seem to have enough or I forgot someone! 😲 So, here I have my card, using a Poinsettia Set from Beccy's Place:

Poinsettia 2 with Sentiment

I love working with poinsettias. They add a special classy touch to a card. So the first thing that I did, was to print my images onto a white cardstock (Paper Temptress) using my laser printer. Then I placed red deco foil onto the image and sentiment and ran it through my laminator. I was going to leave it white, but I thought it too plain, so I colored the image. I placed that onto a piece of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" of red mounting paper. And then it was done! 

I hope that this card inspires you to do a Christmas creation and to join our challenge! We always have such wonderful cards come in!

Thank you for stopping by!

Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #229 - Add a Flower!

(This challenge begins March 9th, 2022)

 Welcome to another Crafty Gals Corner Challenge!  This challenge theme is Add a Flower! Our sponsor for this challenge is......

Beccy's Place

Prize ~  $10 Gift Certificate

So for this challenge, I went with a beautiful image called Mum's Blossoms. And it was a freebie! How awesome is that?? Here is my card:

I love coloring flowers. There was a time when I didn't enjoy coloring flowers, but I've been practicing. :) To start off, I printed off my image on my laser printer, then I colored it with the Spectrum Noir color markers. I used a gel pen to color in my sentiment. I then used that same pen and put little dots around the flower, just to use as a filler. I then mounted it on a red glossy paper from Paper Temptress, a wonderful company that has an amazing variety of cardstock. Once that was done, I mounted the pieces onto the white cardstock foundation. And she was done! I did add a sentiment inside also.

I do hope that you will join us for this month's challenge! We love looking at the different ways of using our theme of the month!

Have a wonderful and blessed day,
