Sunshine and Happiness

Happy Birthday to my sweet husband today! Kind of like these gnomes, he brings me much happiness:

This card is a chance to use some of your favorite patterned papers. Any kind will do, and any kind of gnome will do as well. There's a huge selection of gnomes in the Lost Coast Designs catalogue. Here I've used the Redneck Gnome, Silly Gnome and Flower Gnome. Follow along with how I created this card:
I hope you'll join in April's Gnome Challenge on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. Submit your creation by the end of the month for your chance to win a prize!

Joyful Dragonflies

When the September Challenge topic was introduced to me as "Inchies/Twinchies," I'll admit I had no idea what that meant. It was explained to me that the stamped design should include 1-inch, 2-inch or 1x2-inch squares. Gotcha. I found it trickier than I imagined-- a 1-inch square is REALLY tiny, especially if you have big hands like me haha.  Another challenge is finding a stamp small enough to fit into a 1-inch square. I decided to take one dragonfly from the end of the Dragonflies Border stamp for my background image. The Joy stamp fit within a 1x2-inch square. Barely. Follow along to see how I created this card: I hope you'll give this type of card design a try. Sometimes what seems really simple is actually more challenging to put together than you think. And when you do, post your creation to the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity for your chance to win a prize.

Paired with the More Fun sentiment stamp, it's the perfect thing to send to that friend who is the Life of the Party! Follow along with the photo tutorial to see how I made it: Whether you're a cat person or a dog person, there are loads of great stamps available on the Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda websites.

Oh My Gourd

My favorite season is FINALLY here! Hands down, Autumn is the best time of year. Cooler temperatures, colorful leaves, and pumpkin everything. Pumpkin decor, pumpkin-spiced foods--I can't get enough of it! I based the card design around this sentiment sticker that reads "Oh My Gourd, Happy Fall." I created a background using the Large Flourish stamp which I then cut into 1x2-inch and 2-inch squares as part of the September Challenge hosted by Lost Coast Designs . Follow along to see how I made this card: You'll need to work quickly if you're hoping to make today's September 30 deadline for this month's Challenge on the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity . Get crackin' and maybe you'll win the prize. You got this!
