Happy Fall

Today I am posting as a member of The Scrapbook Queen's Royal Challenge Design Team
We are hosting a monthly challenge. This challenge goes live on the 30th of each month. Come check out my inspiration on the 30th then head to The Scrapbooking Queen Royal Challenge to obtain all the important details.  You can also see all the amazing projects by the other design team members.  You will be inspired by these talented designers!   


This month's challenge is going to be a bit different.  Instead of an image to color, we are having a color challenge.  The colors are:

Tangerine Tango/Elegant Eggplant/Early Espresso
 


 


              "Happy Fall." 





This fall card has a hidden surprise behind the little purple card.  There is another little pumpkin waiting to say hello.


  

Now it is time for you to head to The Scrapbooking Queen Royal Challenge and get all the details on how you can enter the challenge.  I look forward to seeing what you create!! You have until October 29th to get your projects in.  One winner will be chosen at random to receive a "Royal" prize package!

Thank you for stopping by today.  If you have kids who love to craft, we are encouraging them to participate in this challenge!!  Craft together!  So much fun!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful niece

I must say that I am a proud aunt to an amazing niece, Alex, who is currently attending graduate school at Marquette University.  She is studying to be a nurse, which warms my heart.  Alex has always been a compassionate young lady and one day very soon she will be a fabulous nurse.  

Recently Alex celebrated her 22nd birthday and of course I had to make her a cute card with an Action Wobble. Today I want to share this card with you as I post as a member of the Action Wobble Design Team! 


 This card started as a free, uncolored, nurse image coloring page character.  

 It was then colored in Photoshop to give it life!

With a few embellishments the card was finished.  The Action Wobble is under the image of the nurse.

If you don't have any Action Wobbles to enhance your projects, you can pick some up at the Royal Castle Shoppe .  You will be so happy your did!  If you've used Action Wobbles before we'd love it if you would become a follower of our Action Wobble blog and "Like" us on Facebook so you can share your wobble projects with us.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Saying Thank You

Today is an important day in our nation's history.  13 years ago today we were attacked.  My thoughts and prayers to all of you who suffered a loss on that day.  God Bless the USA!

Today I want to share with you a thank you card I made as a member of the Action Wobble Design Team! This card was made to say thanks to a wonderful couple who was dining at the same restaurant as my daughter, Madison, and Madison's friend.  When the girls went to pay for their bill, they were told that it was taken care of. The Action Wobble on this card is under the thanks you sentiment.  

 

If you don't have any Action Wobbles to enhance your projects, you can pick some up at the Royal Castle Shoppe .  You will be so happy your did!  If you've used Action Wobbles before we'd love it if you would become a follower of our Action Wobble blog and "Like" us on Facebook so you can share your wobble projects with us.
