Wynona Witch

Today I'm sharing another DT card for Conie Fong and my last one for this month. Since today is actually Halloween, it seemed appropriate to share with you this darling image of Wynona Witch. This is Version 1 and there's actually 2 images in the set. In the second one, she's holding a cauldron for her candy basket instead of a pumpkin.

Cat Help at Christmas

On the 5th day of the 2020 Cat Lovers Hop, I'm sharing a card with which every cat lover can identify! The image is from AuroraWings and it looks so much like my Honey when he was a baby. If I remember correctly, his first Christmas he stripped every decoration off the tree from the floor up to about the halfway point. That year, he had no interest in climbing the tree. By the next year, he was knocking the angel off the top of the tree.

After that, we put the tree in the family parlor which had sliding doors we closed to keep the cats out!

Colored w ProMarkers

Cut w Unbranded die

Holly & berries are buttons

Glitter added to berries

Snowflakes in opposite corners also have glitter

Red card base is embossed w Linen EF

Cat, Book, and Candle

OK, one more that could be a Halloween card but it'll be for next year. I know I said I was done for this year, but that doesn't mean I won't make any more Halloween cards - you'll probably see one every month or so. It just means I'll put them in the stash for next year. :-D

I really did this card for the 2020 Cat Lovers Hop, put on by Janis at Her Peaceful Garden. She puts it on for a week every year in late October and there are dozens and dozens of prizes from some very wonderful sponsors. This year you can enter a total of 5 projects over the 6 days of the hop, which ends on Saturday, October 31.

Here's my card for what is now Day 4 of the hop.

Colored w chalks, pencils, ProMarkers, & gel inks

Tall & Skinny Halloween

I haven't done much with the new trend of 'tall and skinny' cards but this particular Halloween image was clearly perfect for such a design. This is another image printed in grayscale and mailed to me by a friend who is keeping me supplied following the crash of the thumb drive which held all 9000 of my digi images. Sigh...

I'm discovering that printing a pre-colored image in grayscale, and then coloring it yourself, makes one look like a real artist because all the shading and highlights are in the grayscale. Whatever you do, the shading shows you exactly where to add other tones of the colors you chose to use. Even if you add only a single layer of color with no shading of your own, they look fabulous because of the grayscale shadows.

Because this wicked witch also has a cat, I get to use this card for Day 3 at the 2020 Cat Lovers Hop.

Colored w ProMarkers

Gel inks for white highlights

I keep telling you that I've finished all the Halloween cards but this time, I think I really mean it. I've mailed all the ones which go to out-of-state grandkids & great-grands, the ones for local family are also finished plus the ones done on commission have been picked up so this should be the last.

Still hoping to see you at the Cat Lovers Hop. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Halloween Cat with a Pumpkin Hat

A Halloween cat with a pumpkin hat seems like an appropriate start for the Cat Lover's Hop this year. This is one of those where I know nothing about the artist but it was fun to color. This one was originally printed in grayscale so the shading and highlights came easy.

Don't Mess with Me !

Tomorrow starts the 2020 Cat Lovers Hop and today is the last day to sign up as a player in it. I've played each year since 2016 and I'm already working on cards for this year. It runs from the 26th (tomorrow) through the 31st (Saturday) and, of course, it's all about cats. Felines in any form, if you please.

My card today is a start - to get in the mood. This image is one that was printed and sent to me by a dear friend who wanted to make sure I had plenty of kitty images since I'm still suffering from the loss of all my digi images, carefully collected over a period of a dozen years. A few have been recovered from the crashed thumb drive, but most are still in limbo and I have no way of knowing if I'll ever be able to get to them again.

In any case, my friend sent me 10 printed/stamped cat images and I'm using 3 or 4 of them in addition to 2 or 3 others which I already had. Some of them I'll be able to tell you the artist or creator, others not, but I do know this one is from Angie's Antics (long since closed) and I colored him so that he's wearing his harvest finery in yellow, orange, and gold.

Colored w ProMarkers & chalks

Cut w QuicKutz die

Sentiment cut w Avery Elle die

Mesh fiber 'ribbon'

Satin-edged, sheer ribbon for hand-tied bow

Background dp from scrap basket

Challenges:

Enjoy the rest of your weekend, however short it might be. I'm going to fix myself a late lunch and then retire to the craft room to work on coloring a couple more cats. Remember, the Cat Lovers Hop starts tomorrow morning and you could join in with any cat image you might have. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Halloween in Camelot

Feeding the Bat

With all the stereotypes about wicked Halloween witches, it turns out there are a few gentle ones who care for their pets just like you and I do. Of course, my pets tend to be cats, not bats, but who am I to judge? :-D

I can't tell you anything about this stamp because it was stamped and sent to me by a friend who has been mailing me stamped or printed images out of concern that I'll lose crafting interest after the total crash of my thumb drive which contained all my digital images. The recovery of those digis, thus far, has been slow and occasional but I do have about 100 (out of some 9,000!) which have been returned to me. I'm hoping for more but we'll have to wait and see.

Twinkle Emily

Last week I shared with you one of the newer images from Conie Fong, called Dancing Emily (see that post HERE.) Today, I'm sharing her sister, "Twinkle Emily" and she's just as adorable! She's great on a Christmas card but she also comes with a Princess crown instead of the hat so she'd be great for birthday cards, too. Here's my Christmas card for today.

Sparkling Christmas

Here's the third of those 4 Christmas cards I made using the Nativity die from Cheapo Dies. This one I did cutting silver glitter paper and using embossed backgrounds in classic red and green. The sentiment die is from Die-Versions and the red CS is also punched on the corners with a Fiskars punch. Once the cutting/embossing was done, it took less than 5 minutes to put it together.

Challenges:

Short post but the card was fast and simple so the post should be also. :-D Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Not So Wide Awake

I admit that I gave up drinking caffeine ages ago but I want to show you why I chose to take that drastic step. :-D This fun image, which is the freebie for the Outlawz Progressive challenge this month, reminded me of how I used to look after dragging myself out of bed on a morning after too many night time cups of coffee!

Lock Down- itis !

When I saw the image from LeAnn's World 101 for this month, I knew the facial expression was perfect to show what those of us are feeling, who are still locked down out here in the great state of California. At the moment, most of us are none too happy with our governor and his constantly changing rules about how and when things will be allowed to reopen.

I get it that social distancing, wearing masks, and washing our hands all have great benefits in this time of Covid-19 but to just continually change the ways of measuring "recovery" and adding to the terms (3 times now!) which must be met before any particular area in the state can move from one level of reopening to another is both frustrating and dictatorial!

OK, climbing off my soapbox. :-D Anyway, the image is adorable and I had a lot of fun making this card. The color combo reminds me of high school days when I loved pairing aqua and chartreuse in my clothing. It's still a fav combo of mine for making fall cards.

White Christmas

I think I've finished my Halloween cards for this year, unless I get a request from someone, and now I can totally concentrate on Thanksgiving and Christmas. My Christmas stash is coming along quite well; I have probably half of what I'll need done and ready.

Each year, I make about 25 for family and friends, then another 50 to75 which I donate to a local Senior Center. I've been doing that for the last 7 years. The first year, I took maybe a dozen or so Christmas cards which were extras I had made and dropped them off at the center, asking only that they be offered to those seniors who were least able to get out to purchase cards for their grandkids/family. The following year, I got a phone call from one of the center's volunteers, asking me if I was going to have extras to donate again that year. The cards were popular enough that the seniors were hoping there would be some available.

I scrambled around, made as many as I could, and promised myself (and the Center) that I'd have cards for the following year. Each year the number of cards I have for them has grown and last year I managed to donate 70 cards. Not a single one went unused. :-D

This card was made with one new die, one old die, two embossing folders, and it's all scrap bits of this and that.

Haunted !

It's the day we start a new monthly challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps and our theme is always "Anything Goes." It's October and time for Halloween! Jan's Digi Stamps has two new releases this month (both on sale so check out the store), one of which is a new Halloween set, but I wanted to use on of the older set called "Haunted!"

The Haunted! set has so many secondary images that it's great for merging to get an entire scene. For this card, I combined the tree, the tombstone, and the ghost, plus one of the sentiments using the merge tool available in MS Word. If you go to the store (see link above which is the name of the set) and compare the thumbnail with the image on my card, you'll see how easy it was; nothing fancy, nothing complicated, just simple merging using the png images.

Colored w ProMarkers & gel pens

(tombstone is pre-colored image)

Cut w Tutti Designs die

Satin ribbon scraps

Hand-tied bow

Spiderweb embossed w sparkle EP

Black card base

Challenges:

Aud Sentiments

Coloring in Scrapland

Come play with us and be sure to check out the sales at Jan's Digi Stamps. We'd love to see what you create. Remember, you may use any images from any company but if you choose to use an image from JDS, your entry will go into a separate draw just for JDS projects and that increases your chances of winning by a huge margin!

Happy Crafting. NanaConnie

Guest Designer for LeAnn's World 101

I was thrilled to be a winner at LeAnn's World 101 a few weeks back and when they invited me to also be Guest Designer, I jumped at the chance. Since I would be 'guest'ing in October, a Halloween card seemed appropriate. This cutie image is called, very simply, "Kate" and I did my best to color her entirely in my favorite color, Purple!

Silver Christmas

If I seem to be bouncing back and forth between Halloween and Christmas, I am! Last weekend, right after I got the new Christmas dies, I cut one Nativity scene out of gold glitter paper and another out of silver glitter paper.

I shared the gold one here a few days ago. As I was working with the silver Nativity, I kept looking at the left over negative from the cut and decided there was no reason to waste it by tossing it away. Having been inspired by the sketch challenge at The Outlawz, I put this together.

Pumpkin Patch Spook

This is my second post today and it's another Halloween card, this time featuring a fun image from QKR Stampede for our latest challenge which starts today and runs through the 14th. We are now doing two challenges per month. I know that may be confusing to those of you who have played at QKR for years every Friday morning. We took a bit of a break over the summer months, doing only one challenge per month, but last month we moved to fortnightly challenges which start on the 1st and 15th of each month.

The image on this card is called "Pumpkin Patch" and it's one of my favorite fall/Halloween images.

I have to show you how this folds into its own envelope for mailing with just a couple of extra score lines. The address is written on the flap side when folded up and there's a pocket for a letter or gift card inside. Without the pocket, it can be folded so that the image is inside and shows only when opened.

Be sure to play along with us this fortnight. Our theme is always "Anything Goes" and you are free to use any image from any company but if you do use a QKR Stampede (or Eureka Stamps), your entry will be put into a completely separate draw for those who use QKR. That increases your chance of winning by a huge amount.

Night Before Halloween

I know I gave you a Christmas card yesterday as a break from all the Halloween cards but for the next 2 days at least, you have to go back to Halloween. :-D I have some of the cutest images to share, not the least of which is this fun group of bats hanging out on the Night before Halloween! The image is from SheepSki Designs and it's new to my collection after the loss of all my digital images (no, the issue still hasn't been resolved. :-( )

Beccy generously provided images to the DT but some of us (including me) decided to use images we already had in our own collections. Thank you, Beccy. :-D
