I Be-Leaf in You | Color Throwdown Guest Designer

I'm back with another month of guest designing for the super fun Color Throwdown!  If you've been following me for any amount of time, you know that I LOVE this challenge.  Check out this week's awesome color challenge: 

Kraft

Gold

Green

White

Here's how I was inspired:

It's my first time inking up the Autumn Fairies by Poppystamps.  It's the leaves that drew me to the set for this challenge.  I was easily able to stay within the color challenge for the project too!

That kraft piece is packing paper from Reverse Confetti.  

I was able to add gold with my Uniball pen!  I wish you could see the sheen in addition to the Wink of Stella that I loaded the Fairies wings with!

I can't wait to see how the Color Throwdown team was inspired:

Snowflakes | The Stamp Market

I really don't like to mass produce but lately I've been enjoying the process.  It's probably because I feel extra productive [wink].  These sets are a mashup of old and new:

Snowflake  |   The Stamp Market

Sentiments   |   Poppystamps

Tag   |   Reverse Confetti

Paper   |  CTMH

I need more winter | new years cards, crazy since we've already sent out 122 cards😳  My girl helped put together some of the green plaid ones.  It's been busy in our household, including a real tree this year, almost 8 feet tall!

We managed to add the lights but will wait for the boy to come home from NY to add the ornaments.  We just hope that his flight isn't delayed with the snowy conditions over there.

hello | Woodblock Wednesday | Guest Designer

Hello and welcome to Woodblock Wednesday.  I'm featuring:

Poppystamps - Poppy Polka Dot [218C] retired

Impress - Hello Flower [retired]

Savvy Stamps - Small Packages [1315C]

Here's how I was inspired:

So I channeled my inner Alice in my coloring.  That little Poppystamps girl is adorable isn't she?  I know I have a boy version too...somewhere.  These are no longer available in their shop.

The Impress Hello! stamp has been discontinued also but they do have the thank you version still available.

The interior has the sentiment stamped inside by Savvy Stamps.  Love that one!

Although maybe not readily noticeable, the theme this week is Fall!  I tried to capture that with my color palette.  I've noticed that I need to do some shopping for woodblock fall images!

I'm super excited to introduce my guest for this week, Debra Davison.  You can find her on blog HERE + her IG HERE.  She is a coffee lover too!

Isn't her card adorable?!
