A couple of cards, and a tag

Hey friends...here's a couple items I made for this week's challenges, plus one extra...a card for a friend's little boy who is turning three...enjoy.

This week's CAS-ual Fridays' challenge is to use three shades of a monochromatic color, plus brown.
My card...

Here's this week's Play Date Cafe's challenge...
Thought I would change it up a bit, and make a tag...actually, to tell you the
truth, the card didn't quite turn out as I had envisioned, so the tag is the remains of the card that went bad...hehehe.

And as promised, one last card for a little boy's third birthday...

Live well,
Trina

One more for CAS-ual Fridays...

A quick post - decided to do one more card for this week's CAS-ual Fridays Challenge (because I can't get enough of my new Paper Smooches stamps).

Very quick and easy card...I paper pieced the pumpkin with Damask patterned paper from PTI, colored the stem and leaf, stamped the sentiment, and spider, and voila...easy peasy.

In L-O-V-E with Paper Smooches!


"Courage is the price that Life exacts for granting peace."
-Amelia Earhart

On this Patriot Day, I honor those who demonstrated great courage on September 11th, 2001, I honor those who continue to demonstrate courage by living without their love ones, and I honor those who defend our country with great courage. 

And now for the challenges...
As you're going to see from today's post, that I've recently got a new shipment of stamps from Paper Smooches, and I am so in love with them!  This one was made for this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge, which is to incorporate and a Fall theme and paper piecing.

And for our next challenge, may I present to you...
 
And here's my card, once again using a Paper Smooches stamp (how stinkin' cute is this monster?!)...
Live well,
Trina

Black, White, Red, and One Day



Today's card combines The Play Date Cafe's {PDCC97} and CAS-ual Fridays' {CFC18}challenge, which both happens to be quite similar this week, with one exception...the CAS-ual Fridays challenge is in honor of International Literacy Day on September 8th.  This means that our project had to be inspired by a book.  My inspiration was a book by David Nicholls, "One Day", which I just found out they've made into a movie (hope they keep it true to the book).

Cover Image
An oldie, but goodie...one of my first stamps purchases, and I still love it.  Originally, the only red on the card was the heart up in the corner, but decided to add some color to the skirt with a little paper piercing.

Live well, 
Trina
