My Card for Crafty Creations Challenge.

Hey, Guys!

So, this is my card for a great new challenge I found, called Crafty Creations. The challenge this week is:

Use your Favorite Stamp.

Well, my mom just ordered these new Magnolia stamps, and I reeeeeealy liked them! They are my favorites stamps, at the moment. :-)

Yesterday, my mom and I went on a shopping spree to Hobby Lobby to pick out some new paper, so this is some of the paper I picked. I thought it was really cute, and I loved the blue and orange combo.

We also got some new flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts in the mail yesterday, so I used them, too.

I used Glimmer Mist in Wheatfields on the flowers. (I don't know if you can see it or not.)

I colored Princess Tilda and Pirate Edwin with Copics, and the punch is a Martha Stewart punch.

Well, that wraps it up! It was fun to make.

XOXO,

Greta.

P.S. Thanks for all the wonderful comments on my OWH Bog Hop post, Ladies. It really meant a lot to me. I had sooo much fun hopping and everything. :-)

My Card for Create4fun

Hey, everyone!

I'm really sorry for not putting up any cards. :-(. I've been awfully busy.

Anyways, this is a recipe book that I've made for Create4Fun. I'm going to a wedding next week and I've made this as a wedding present! I got this idea from Gio, at the Whiff of Joy Tutorial Blog

Create4Fun is Vintage.

So, above is the front cover, and below is a closeup of the stamp I used, Willow with Chicken Soup from WOJ. Cute! I colored her with my Copics. Here's a list of the the colors I used.

Hair: E31 and E33.

Shirt: E29 and E37.

Apron: YG95 and YG97.

Pants: YR00

Pot: E13 and E15

Cloth under pot: E29

Smoke: C1 and C3.

Barret, Apron tie, and shoes: R85

This is a picture of the first two pages, the Main Dish section. There is a recipe on the white side, and there's a pocket to put other recipe cards in on the other side.

Here's a closeup of the recipe. It's one of my favorites and is wonderful. :-)

I used the Christmas Swirls set from WOJ, and I stamped them with distress ink in Walnut Stain. I also used Walnut stain for the distressing around the side.

This is the Vegetable and Side dish section

Jalapeño Corn Casserole is one of my favorite dishes. We have it at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other big dinners. I stamped the swirls with distress ink in Peeled Paint. (I think that's the name?)

Here's the Breakfast section.

This cinnamon roll recipe is my favorite.

The dessert section.

I really like this chocolate sheet cake, and it's really quick and easy.

Here's the holiday section.

This ham is really good for Christmas and Easter, and you pass a pineapple sauce with it. Yum!

Well, that's it! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the back cover, but the paper is green card stock. :-(

Well, thanks for looking. I had a lot of fun with it!

XOXO,

Greta

Note from Greta's Mom, Lisa:

The cake, meatballs and cinnamon rolls come from a fabulous cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks. Here's her blog post on it and where to buy it. You should, it is a great book! I hope Pioneer Woman doesn't mind Greta sharing with our soon-to-be-married friend. (I plan to also buy our friend the Pioneer Woman Cooks cookbook!) :-)

My Card for Two Challenges and a Get-Well Card.

Hey, Guys!

So, this is my card for Color Throwdown and Whiff of Joy. It was a really cute sketch and great colors.

Also, I'm making this Get-Well card for my Role-play pal in Georgia; she has been in the hospital since Wednesday with a broken leg. Get well soon, Nikki! :-)

Well, that wraps it up,

Greta

My Card for Friday Sketckers.

Hey, everyone!

So, today I'm putting in my card for Friday Sketchers. It's an awesome sketch, guys!

I used a stamp from the brand-new WOJ Scheherazade stamp set that we got in the mail on Monday! Awesome! She turned out really cute! I'd just learned how to color black hair with Copics, so it was a little bit hard for me.

I made my own flowers, and the papers and jewel pearls are from Hobby Lobby.

Well, that wraps it up!

XOXO,

Greta

My Card For 4 Challenges.

Hello, everyone!

So, I've been sick with allergies and a small cold, but I've been making cards to help lift my spirits. :)

Whiff of Joy this week had a wonderful idea; to make a money holder card. It was very cute, so I tried it!

This is also my strange take on a Christmas card. lol.

I colored her with Copics in BV02, B02, and G12. For her hair and the sled, I used E29, 37, 15, and 13.

I made a mini CrissCross Pocket card on the inside for the money holder part.

And I wrote the sentiment myself. I used Spare Parts brads and Prima Flowers on the front of my card, like usual. I'm entering it in:

Copic Color Challenge: BV02. YG03 (I used the closest I had, G12) and B02.

Simon Says Stamp: Buttons, Bows and Bling.

Winter Wonderland: Christmas Gift Card Holder.

Whiff Of Joy: Money Holder.

Well, that wraps it up! I had a lot of fun!

XOXO,

Greta

Hey, Everyone!

Okay. I was taking a teeeny break, but I'm back now. :)

My mom got our very first Tilda stamp in the mail on Monday, and I made a card with her!

Now, normally, Tilda wouldn't be my very first choice, but now that I've seen her in person, she's pretty cute!

I'm entering this one in:

Little Hands Do Crafts ~ Sketch.

Clearly Inspired Challenge ~ Ribbon

Just Magnolia ~ Anything Goes

Crafty Angels ~ Summer

Pollycraft ~ Make Your Own Flowers. (The two on the top, I made myself.)

I love all the challenges, especially the sketch. Good job, guys!

One more thing. I'd like to send ya'll over to Rosanna, at When My Jobs Are Done. She's twelve and makes awesome cards! :)

Talk to ya'll soon,

Greta.
