The Outlawz Crash your Stash Challenge: Mesh

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. ~Audrey Hepburn (1929–1993)

Good morning!

We have a new Crash your Stash Challenge starting at The Outlawz Challenges which will run through November 15th

Our generous Sponsor this month Anne Fenton Designs with a prize of 3 images from her blog.

Our cue this month is Mesh

I don’t have a lot of this stuff but I have enough of it to be annoying when I’m searching in my washi tape drawer. It really does add some great texture and dimension though. Which is probably why I still have a couple rolls laying around plus a few colored sheets.

I did overlay the lantern image on top of a lumber-y (is that a word?) background image to give it a bit of depth and interest. Plus, the colors would pull in from the cardstock and the mesh I chose to use.

My husband and I will be celebrating our 36th Wedding Anniversary this year! We’ve had our shares of ups and downs, ins and outs, but with the Grace of God we have managed to sort out what’s important, raise two fine human beings and not kill each other in the process! I think this card says it all!

I love him so much!

Supplies:

• Image, Lantern printed on Hammermill Premium Cover card stock from Anne’s Digital Arts
• Card gems from Cloud 9
• Digi background from Touched by a Butterfly
• Mesh from Stampin Up!
• Momento Ink
• Sentiment from Unity Stamp Company

 Now come on over to The Outlawz Challenges to play along with us or one of the other challenges that are always in process!

Favorite time of Year!

A glorious crown the year puts on... ~Phebe A. Holder, "A Song of October," in The Queries Magazine, October 1890

Good morning!

So sad to say that today is my Day 5, and final day, as a Unity Gal! I hope you have enjoyed this past week as it has been a pleasure sharing with you my creations made with Unity Stamps!

I love Fall, its my favorite time of the year. It’s hard not to get excited with the coming changes! Although I live in the desert, I can still appreciate the few trees around me that shift from greens to gold and red. The shorter days, longer nights and cooler mornings certainly helps the memories of our Summer heat to fade away. And the knowledge of the coming Holiday Season just adds another element of anticipation!

Today I am sharing a Fall card made using scraps from the Fall card I shared on Tuesday and the image Autumn Stoop!

Supplies:

• Autumn Stoop from Unity Stamp Company
• Banner punch from Stampin Up!
• Cardstock from Stampin Up!
• Corner punch from We R Memory Keepers
• Design paper from American Crafts
• Nuvo Drops
• Pro Markers
• Tag punch from Stampin Up!
