WWC311 - Kath's Challenge: All Things Feminine

It's that time of year when you just want to see green and flowers.  Here in Iowa, it is slowly turning to Spring.  While I wait for the real thing, here is flower I colored using my Copic markers.  I've not used them in a very long time and I can sure tell I'm out of practice.  This is one of the images I had already stamped and added to my stash.  I attached it to a Lemon Meringue card base.  For the finishing touch, I added a few Gold Drip Drops.

WWC310 - Marsha's Challenge: All About Occasions

The Watercooler Wednesday Challenge is making a transition from a weekly challenge to a bi-weekly challenge beginning with this challenge.  Going forward, there will be two challenges a month and we will be keeping to the current themes for our challenges.  Don't worry, we'll remind you as we go along.

This week I'm hosting our All About Occasions challenge.  I needed another birthday card, so, with my limited supplies, this is what I came up with.  Funny thing is, this is not the card I intended to make.  But, Sunday, my son and his wife came over to help me go through totes and get more stuff put away.  All of my craft stuff was put in the closet still in totes and I once again don't have a clue where anything is.  I know, some day soon it will all be in a place where I can find it easily.  I have a dream!

WWC309 - Dawn's Challenge: Anything Masculine Goes

It's been so cold here in Iowa that I've gladly stayed inside my cozy little apartment.  I will admit that I am tired of the site of totes that still need unpacked.  Of course, being distracted by these cute little snowmen may be one of the reasons I'm so slow getting the unpacking done.

Our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week is our masculine challenge.  I thought these sweet snowmen would make a perfect card for one of my grandsons.

WWC308 - Tristan's Challenge: All About Occasions

Well, sometimes things just don't go as planned. Since I've moved, I can't seem to get myself in gear to remember anything that I should.  Today my post for the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge is so very late, but you probably wouldn't have known that unless I pointed it out to you, which I just did.  As for the day, it's a beautiful, sunny day that is frigid.  I'm not going out in the cold until I absolutely need to do so.

Tristan is host for our All About Occasions challenge this week.  I am still in the process of getting stuff out of totes and placed where they need to be in my apartment.  I came across some pieces that were already colored and cutout so I put them all together and came up with this sympathy card.  I love using up my scraps.

WWC307 - Heidi's Challenge: Anything Feminine Goes

Given the fact that the vast majority of my craft supplies still reside in totes, I was able to make this simple heart filled card from what supplies I could find.  A few scraps of patterned paper, some sequins and a wee bit of glue and this is what I made.  It could be a Valentine, anniversary or simply a thinking of you card.

Well, the move is complete.  The train ride was wonderful.  Seeing my youngest granddaughter for the first time was a joy.  She is so precious.  Now it's time to get all of those totes unpacked and my house in order. I have a very cute little apartment and am having so much fun furnishing it.

WWC305 - Helen's Challenge: Anything Goes With a Masculine Twist

The train ride from Nevada to Iowa was fantastic but I'm glad it is behind me and I can get on with getting ready to move into my new apartment.  That could happen next week.

My card for Helen's Anything Goes With a Masculine Twist is a Valentine for a guy.  I've made similar and love this color combination.

And, here's a view from the inside.

WWC304 - Kath's Challenge: All About Occasions

The wheels on the train go round and round.  I started my journey back to Iowa last evening and as of this writing, I have no idea just where I am.  Well, yes, I do know but in order to share my Design Team card with you, I scheduled my post a few days ahead of time so I'm not able to share where I am at the time of this post.

I chose birthday as my occasion as I have several coming up and wanted to have them all done before I moved.  Now I just have to get them unpacked in order to send them.  Hmm?  I wonder what tote I put them in.

WWC303 - Karen's Challenge: Feminine Anything Goes

Hello and Happy New Year!  My year is starting out on the move.  I'm leaving Reno, Nevada to return to Iowa.  I'm leaving next week so my days are spent packing and my nights falling exhausted into bed.  But, in the mean time, I managed to get my Design Team card done for the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  Fortunately, I already had this image stamped as everything else is packed.  I decided to do a simple black and white as, you guessed it, my inks, watercolors and colored pencils were already packed, too.  Ah, life on the move.  Isn't it grand!

WWC302 - Marsha's Special 3-Week Anything Goes Challenge

Well, I don't know about you, but I can hardly believe that this year is slowly winding down.  Such turmoil and such uncertainty during this year and I must say, I'll be glad to have it behind us.  It has to be better come the new year, right?.

As you can see by my post title, this is a special 3-week Anything Goes challenge on the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  It makes for a nice break for our Design Team and let's all of us enjoy the holidays.

My project is one that is going out as Christmas gifts this year.  I always make calendars for my three sons and their wives and girlfriend.  Anna Helman gets all the credit for this cute little mini calendar.  You can find her video HERE.

WWC301 - Dawn's Challenge: All About Occasions

Well, I finally have all of my Christmas cards made but I am a wee bit late getting them in the mail.  But, I do have all my shopping done.  It will be my last Christmas in Reno as I'm moving back to Iowa in the new year.

I did a white on white card with a splash of color.  The products I used are all from Taylored Expressions.  They are the Brick Embossing Folder, Seasonal Sprig Cutting Plate and the Mini Slim Seasonal Sprig Layering Stencil.  The inks used are Cherry Pop and Cilantro.

The Watercooler Wednesday Challenge, hosted this week by Heidi, is All About Occasions.  As tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I thought I should share at least one card I made, for this occasion, with you.

This week's Watercooler Wednesday Challenge is hosted by Helen and it's All About Occasions. Here's a gate fold card I made from one that has been laying around for such a very long time.  I've been using up bits and pieces.  It's been so long since I made some of them that I can't remember what products I used.  No matter, as it gives me another card to add to my stash.

WWC296 - Michelle's Challenge: Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist

So, how is your Wednesday going?  It's a wonderful Autumn day here in the Sierra Nevada.  I'm enjoying it now as we have some cold coming our way this weekend.  I hope any snow stays in the mountains and out of the valley.  I'm sure that's why I thought flowers were a way to keep warm and sunny on my mind.

This week Michelle is hosting our Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist over on the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  If you get a chance, come join us.

And, Wednesday has rolled around again.  Karen is hosting our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge and it's All About Occasions.  It gave me the chance to play with some new stuff from Taylored Expressions.  I used the Seasonal Spring stamp set, the Seasonal Sprig Mini Slim Stencil and the Stitched Rectangular Stacklets.  There is also a Seasonal Sprig Cutting Plate but that one I did not use this time.  You'll see it in upcoming Christmas cards.

WWC294 - Marsha's Challenge: Anything Goes With a Masculine Twist

This week I'm hosting the Anything Goes With a Masculine Twist over at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  I needed a birthday card for my grandson who has just turned 14.  I thought fireworks was a good way to start the celebration.

This is the Fireworks Background Stamp & Stencil set from Taylored Expressions.  You stamp the stars, then add the fireworks using the two stencils in the set.  It is so easy to do and you can get so many different color combinations.

WWC292 - Dawn's Challenge: Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist

Wednesday has come around again and it's time for a new challenge at the Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  This week it's our Anything Goes With a Feminine Twist.

I had a play with a new set of stencils.  It's Taylored Expressions Bokeh Layering Stencil.  All you do is line up each layer of stencil, add your color and you get all these neat little circles.  The sentiment is from the Bubble Greetings stamp set also from Taylored Expressions.  I'm looking forward to using these stencils again.

WWC291 - Fifth Week Anything Goes Challenge

Well, it's  the fifth Wednesday of the month and it's time for the Watercooler Wednesday Fifth Week Anything Goes Challenge.  I'm sharing a sympathy I recently made.  This was a background I had done some time ago and I added the sentiment strips and a wee bit of a leaf branch I had in my stash.  I must say that my stash is steadily dwindling and it won't be long before I'll have it all used up.  But, of course, that means I can fill up the stash bin again.  It never ends.

WWC289 - Heidi's Challenge: Anything Goes With a Masculine Twist

Welcome and a happy very smoky Wednesday to you all.  With so many fires burning in California, we are getting lots of smoke blowing into Reno.  I can't see my mountains!  But be that as it may, it's time for another Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.  Today Heidi is hosting our Anything Goes With a Masculine Twist.

I made a very simple birthday card as I have several coming up next month and I need cards for each and every one.  This is the Ship with Clouds stamp set from Blue Knight Rubber Stamps.  I added a wee bit of blue for the water and a wee bit of gray for the clouds and stamped the ship image in black.  I didn't color any part of the ship but I have some ideas percolating in my head that I'll share with you at another time.
