I used K: key and kraft paper; N: number, notebook, I used a needle to stitch in my signatures!
Curious about this project; check out the video below!

Our new challenge over at Cut It Up is 'Inspired by a Song.' My project is inspired by the song "Hot Chocolate" from the movie Polar Express! You can see an excerpt HERE!
This gift packaging has enough space for a gift card, packet of cocoa, and a candy cane! I've made a coordinating card and envelope for this teacher's gift!
Interested in how this was made; check out this video (from the archives) below to see how I created this.

It's time for a new challenge over at The Outlawz Twisted Thursdayand the optional twist is October Holidays and Colors! So, how does that inspire you?
I want to share several projects to show the versatility of these amazing Papers and Elements from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles, the sponsor of our challenge!
At the start of the post is a digital layout created in Canva and finished in PhotoScape.
My digital layout is off to the following challenges:
As You Like It: Fav Cardbase Shape I like the US standard 4.25 x 5.5 inch. I suppose I use it most often because #1 it mails inexpensively; #2 I have a ton of envelopes that size! hahaha
How about a duo of Halloween themed cards.
The pumpkin is on a spring!

Shopping our Stash: True Confessions~ I have more gems than anyone needs, but I can't stop buying them! I love gems of all types! Fall paper is also a huge weakness for me. I am finally making myself use it even if it is for the card base! Crafty Catz: AG

Material List:
Quote from Earl Nightingale
Paper - Scanned Map personal use only; no resale; map from worldometer
Black Cardstock
CTMH Cardstock
Copic Markers
Blue Gel Pen
Black pencil
Adhesives: Double sided adhesive; Fabri-Tac
Cricut Design Space: Designed and cut from CDS, Offset, Reverse, Print Then Cut; Text Font - Iowan Old Style
I took my photos and edited in I-photo and PhotoScape. Luckily, I have a horse who will stand for photos! He knows it is a lot easier than working! ;)
Once I was happy with the pics, the fun began in Canva. Here I played with digital papers, elements, and shadows. I'm still learning Canva; it's an interesting program.
As You Like It: Layered or Flat Ok, when it comes to digital I love lots of layers and shadows. Of course, since it's digital it still turns out flat on the screen or when printed! haha
(Pin)spirational: Stitching (Lots of stitching in the photo; Stitching on left side of brown paper)

Our new challenge over at Cut It Up is 'What's in Your Garden?'
Check out the video below to see how I made the image from Cricut Design Space into the die cut used in this layout.
Now what is really in my garden...wild flowers! My grandgirl and I plant a butterfly garden every year in an old horse trough! Here's a pic of our little garden.
I also have one lone tomato plant that blew onto my arena fence line. I decided to water it and now I have cherry tomatoes. What a fun gift from the wind! You might be asking, "Does she have that staked with bailing twine?" Yes, yes I do! I don't garden, so I improvised with what I have! haha
