Good Sunday Morning - it is beautiful here - the sun is shining and the air is gorgeously autumn-like! It might even rain which is fine , more time in the crafty cave!
Today I have a card for yesterday's inspiration challenge and the My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge this week. The store was called The Bella Cottage - just wonderful vintage finds - these inspiration challenges could be the death of my wallet haha!
This is my inspiration photo ..

and this is my card
I love the Chicken Wire Dienamics, and it was the closest thing I had to a caning feature - (hint,hint MFT!)
The Baby Oneside Dienamic was cut from felt to mimic the velvet chair........I stamped and embossed the sentiment and added brads to "hang" the sign.
I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting! I'm going to go to my friends house and buy some mum's!!

Bingo! Challenge #161
Good Morning and it's time for this chick to post another 4 Crafty Chicks challenge!
Can I say that I was floored by all of the beautiful balloon entries last week - they were all so pretty - I mean they are balloons -of course they are sweet!
This week we are playing BINGO!!
If you have never played a crafty Bingo, it is super easy-- so come and play along!! - these are the rules:
Pick one line - vertical, horizontal or diagonal - I picked diagonal from the bottom left corner - Flowers, Sentiment and Blingety Bling
Everything on this card is from Papertrey Ink - just so I don't have to keep on saying Papertrey Ink, Papertrey Ink, Papertrey Ink, Pape.......enough....
For my papers I chose Royal Velvet, Winter Wisteria and Soft Stone cardstock.
I stamped the Soft Stone cardstock with a "new-to-me" Background Basics stamp set called Postmarks! I love making my own background paper!!
My Bingo flowers are from an actual stamp set- Garden Variety II- but you can use any kind of flowers - paper flowers, die-cut - whatever you wish!
I added the gems (Bling!!), which were actually clear gems, and I coloured them pink with a copic marker - shazzam!!
My sentiment is from Lighten Up - another cute stamp set from PTI!
I hope you can find some time to play with us this week - just link up your post to 4 Crafty Chicks this week!!

Celebrate!!
Good Morning everyone - I have some exciting news to tell you!
I have been asked to join 4 Crafty Chicks Design Team - so every Thursday you will see a new challenge on the 4 Crafty Chicks Blog and my blog.
Woo hoo! I am so excited!
This week the challenge is "Balloons" - use balloons, or a balloon or just somehow incorporate a balloon on your card or project. Link it up to the 4 Crafty Chicks Blog making sure you only link to your one post - NOT your whole blog!!
So let's get down to business!
My card uses My Favorite Things stamp set called Party Balloons! I cut one out with the matching Die-namics Party Balloons and then stamped with it and the others with various ink.
The Celebrate word is also from MFT and is the Accent-It Celebrate Die-namic. The Party Banner Die is also MFT - good stuff!
My patterned paper is from Papertrey Ink and came from one of the paper pads that we use to make the beads - cool eh?!
On the inside of the card, I stamped another balloon and die-cut the age 16 - this is for my niece! Happy Birthday Karly!
I hope you will join 4 Crafty Chicks for our Balloon challenge this week!

High Maintenance!
Good Morning!
I have a card that I made for the Dirty Dozen Challenges waayyy back in July - and of course, since I played hooky all summer, I am just now going to post it for you!
The challenge was to make a humorous card so I used my newest My Favorite Things Who's That Girl stamp, Bunches of Birthday Wishes!
I coloured her up using my Copic Markers and then paper pieced her dress. The balloons were coloured, cut out and popped up onto Sno-Cone cardstock - over top of the MFT Flat Bottom cloud dies - isn't it cute!!
The sentiment is from another MFT set which I can't remember what it is called, and I can't find it in the My Favorite Things store so it may have been discontinued - it was a sweet set - although I know you don't want to hear that if it isn't available anymore - yikes!!
Thank you for coming around today - I have a card order due this weekend - so that is what I am doing this afternoon - this morning I am watering flowers!

Have a Very Happy Birthday!
Today starts the celebration over at Taylored Expressions for their Birthday Party - Taylored Expressions is 5 years old woohoo!
I thought I would join in the 1st challenge - hopefully more, depending how my uber-busy week goes ;)...listen to me all rock and rock.....and roll....
I chose to make a Happy Birthday card, to use washi tape, and to use 2 dies....it's a Tic Tac Toe challenge - click on over to see!
My button is a bit limp so I see- a bit similar to my hair today- I will be putting a glue dot on to remedy that embarrassing situation...
I attached a piece of acetate behind the window as you can see by the reflections......it looks very cool!
Take a boo on over to Taylor's Blog .....there are prizes!! just sayin'......
