Scrapy Land Challenge #112 ~ Anything Goes

Hello, everyone and happy Wednesday!! It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme is as always, Anything Goes Using a Brand of Die Scrapy Land Carries...there are over 55 to choose from. If you play along, you could be one of two winners of a $10 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land.

I made a birthday card for a friend's daughter and since I can never make one card, I made two :)

In the background, I cut a Amy Designs Fishing Net die with Core'dinations paper and then sanded it down for a weathered look.

I used Memory Box Stitched Circles and Memory Box Rolling Wave Collage dies to cut the window. Inside are Avery Elle Coral Reef and Impression Obsession Sea Kelp dies. Beneath the Wild Orchid Craft flowers are Cheery Lynn Tropical Leaves dies and ribbon from DL.ART. The sentiment was stamped on a Spellbinders Nautical Frames and Accents banner die.

The Tattered Lace Little Mermaid is one of my very favorite dies. She's sitting on a Poppystamps Seaside Dock with a Spellbinders Layered Palm Tree behind.

Scrapy Land Challenge #73 - Anything Goes

For my cards, I used papers from 49 and Market's Sand and Sea collection.

I used my favorite Tattered Lace Little Mermaid for these cards. Her tail was cut in sparkly paper, but it's hard to tell in the pictures.

The seaweed and coral are a combination of dies from Little B Mermaids and Little B Sealife sets, topped by a Impression Obsession Salt Life die.

Tucked under the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers are Concord & 9th Layering Leaves, LaLaLand Open Leaf Flourish and Elizabeth Craft Leafy Branch 3. The banner is from Spellbinders Nautical Frame and Accents. The sentiment is from Ellen Hutson's Mermaid set.

DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge #191 - Fairy Tales

Happy Thursday!! I hope you are having a wonderful week!! It's time for a new challenge at DL.ART and the theme this week is one of my favorites...Fairy Tales :) If you used the code l01210, Diana will give you 10% off your order at DL.ART.

I had so much fun making these cards!! If you look in the dictionary, the definition of a fairy tale is a children's story of magical creatures...wizards, fairies, goblins, mermaids... Of course I had to pick my favorite fairy tale creature...a mermaid :)

I started with papers from Maja Designs Summer Basics stack. The edges were all distressed with a Zutter DIA. The wave die is from My Creative Time.

This beautiful ribbon is Silvery Hue Sea from Mermaid's Tale Second Edition. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. Tucked under the blooms are Memory Box Chloe Stems and Paper Smooches Foliage 2 dies. Pearls were added to the Chloe Stems.

This gorgeous ribbon is Blue Hue Tale from Mermaid's Tale Second Edition. Some cheesecloth and rope-type lace were added for a nautical touch.

The beautiful mermaid is a Tattered Lace die. She was cut three times...once in black for a shadow, once in patterned paper and once again in patterned paper that was covered in glitter.

The frame is a Spellbinders die that was covered in Wendy Vecchi Crackle Paste. Shabby White Frantage was added behind the mermaid. Celebrate is a Penny Black Doodles die.

The cards were topped off with white paint using a Tim Holtz Splatter Brush. I'm entering this in the following challenges:

1) Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
2) Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday - Anything Goes
3) Little Scrap Pieces - Show It Off Saturday
4) Scrapping4funChallenge - Anything Goes

So I haven't had a chance to take very many nature pictures lately, but I wanted to share some visitors to my yard. This guy ventured close to the house. But when I snapped pics of the groundhog...

...he was not happy about it - and he let me know it :)

And there are a flock of turkeys that live here all year around, but I was surprised to see a tree full of these guys...

Ugh!! Turkey Vultures!! Quite possibly the most vile birds in nature. Thankfully, they didn't stay long and they moved right along :) Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a wonderful Thursday :)
