Here are my cards for today.  The first uses a stencil, a fence die and one of the crows.  Intentionally left blank until I know how I want to use it.



My second card uses another stencil and several colours of distress ink with the sentiment from the Scarecrow set.  I thought of Toni and all the goodies she shares from her crop harvests.

FOSTV137 - Yellow and Grey

It is a busy week at Marks Finest Papers with our new FOSTV challenge starting today and the August blog hop starting tomorrow.  Please join in our challenge and the hop.

The challenge this week is yellow and grey so I used the colours for an anniversary card.  Californian Poppies were what sprang to mind.

 
 
This is a short and sweet post as I am scheduling before I go to bed.  Have a great week and enjoy the challenge and the Hop.

Dare to Get Dirty

I have worked my socks off on the DTGD challenges this week completing 34 of the 49.  My teeny little craft room looks like a whirl wind has hit so I really need to tidy, clean and sort out.  I have had tremendous fun with all the challenges and made a lot of Christmas cards.  Thanks to all the wonderful Splitcoast hostesses.

I am sorry there are a lot of photos but here goes - which is your favourite?
