THT069 Manly Grid

Oh my goodness, I couldn't find just the right designer paper or layout for this card to save my life! FINALLY it came together tonight...

THT066 Cool Things Found!

I've been sorting through all of the stuff in my craft room for the past few days, and I have been amazed at all of the things I've rediscovered! What perfect timing for this week's Treehouse Thursday Challenge, which is to create a card using something recycled or reused. I found these little pumpkins already cut out, and this kitty rub-on just begging to be used on a card. The sentiment is from a Treehouse Digital Set called "Halloween Extras." I also used some DP that I've had for years!

THT059 Watercoloring

I have been having so much fun this week doing some of the Dare To Get Dirty Challenges, and even was able to combine one of them with today's Treehouse Thursday Challenge.

Today's challenge was to use watercoloring......well, I've been primarily using prismacolor pencils and gamsol for coloring and this was certainly a struggle for me. I ended up using my Stampin Up Markers and a blender pen.
