SUINK Whachadoin' Wednesday

Today's Whachadoin' Wednesday challenge is an inspiration challenge. As soon as I have an uploadable photo to show the living room that is today's challenge, I'll upload it here.

In the mean time, here is my card for today's challenge;


A brown living room with a mountain view. That's my idea of heaven! *LOL* Have a marvelous day y'all!! Tune in later for some Chicken Girl peekies!!!

Oh the CHALLENGES!!!!! Whachadoin' Wednesday Falling for you!

Oh people! Can you feel a bite in the air? Can you smell the homey-ness of apples ripening on the branch in the sun? Me either *snort* but I know it is just around the corner dag nabbit!

Today's Whachadoin' Wednesday challenge is to make a card that represents Fall to you... and tell why you chose what you did.

Around these parts, there are no beautiful maple forests that turn a palette of magnificent colours after the first hard frost. My first hard frost is about a week away and I need to get my crabapples in and make jelly. We have poplar trees in bulk, aspen groves up the wazoo and evergreens everywhere! That's a whole lotta brown and gold happening, hence my palette. I love walking in a natural reserve close to my home in autumn as the Aspens lose their leaves. I feels like being showered with gold leaf (pun could be intended...) and it is quite lovely!

Here's my fall card;




stamps; leaf it to me (SUINK)
paper; cardstock by core'dinations, blue awning (K&Co)
ink; espresso adirondack, tea dye, vintage photo distress ink (ranger)
accessories; aged copper brads (making memories), brown ribbons (martha stewart), gold charm (blue moon beads), hemp cord

Whachadoin' Wednesday

It's Wednesday and that means another wonderful SUINK Whachadoin' Wednesday challenge. For full deets, check out the SUINK blog. The challenge inspiration comes from this darling nursery;



When you play along, please use code SUINKWWC5 on SCS so we can easilt find your project.

I really don't have sea critter stamps, so I decided to keep the fun juvenile theme of the nursery and work with the colours - a lotta blue and green with a little orange pop! I coloured this newest SU INKie, 'thinking of you' from the Friendly Forest collection with copic markers. I used an *uber* old basic grey paper pack called, Skate Shoppe. If you remember this paper line, hold up a hand. If you have any in your stash, whoa baby, you have some stamping to do!!!! Get that stuff used!!



I'm always sketch challenged and am on the lookout for cool layouts. I'm SO late on the boat, but I just found Julee Tilman's mojo monday sketches. Allow me to remind you, I live in a cave!!! I found one I liked for this card and modified it a little. If you like the layout, the credit goes to that brilliant, talented woman. Give credit where it's due, eh!

Thank you for popping by today! Check out the rest of the talented SUINK design team for their take on this challenge!!!

SUINK Whachadoin Wednesday

Happy Wednesday! Where I am, it's cold and wet. I could see my breath yesterday afternoon and, quite frankly, that is a little depressing for AUGUST!!!! Today's Whachadoin' Wednesday challenge is to make a card that when you see it makes you think -- Aaaahhhhh, SUMMER! This challenge is also posted on the SUINK blog and please feel free to go there and see the rest of the deets.

Here's my card;



I used All Things Grow With Love, a featured set at SUINK. Right now, you can purchase this set for $5!!!! Get outta here that almost free and if you use this set just 5 times, that turns it into a dollar stamp. Use it more than 5 times, ammortized per use, and this baby is, like, free!!!! But you need to get it for $5 first before you can apply my creative ammortization process... ask me why I'm NOT an accountant! *snort*

I used one of the adorable sentiments that comes with this set. If I had a wonderful weather summer, this is what my garden would look like at sunset. Today, it's grey and so I will gaze upon my imaginary garden at sunset and hope we get a little more warm weather before it snows...

Make sure you check out Kristen, Danielle and Leigh have created to celebrate summer!

stamps; all things grow with love (SUINK)
paper; que sera sera (K&Co), cardstock by core'dinations
