Anything Goes at 4 Crafty Chicks

Good morning Friends!  I sure am running late this week!  First, I made a beautiful card for the challenge - then I put it somewhere and can't find it!  Then I made this beautiful wreath, took my photos - and my computer died!  OK, so what did this tell me??  I have got to get in gear and quit waiting until the last minute to come up with a fantastic project to share with you all!!

This is our 5th Thursday of October so that means the challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks is ANYTHING GOES!!

After stressing for hours over the lost card I decided to put together this wreath from the Close To My Heart Annual Idea Book.  I am just totally in love with this paper pack (Snowhaven) and love all things Christmas so this was really a pretty quick and easy project!  The Close To My Heart Artiste Cricut cartridge did all of the work for me! (Well, all but folding and gluing everything together)

And here is the finished product - hanging on my living room wall!

So, be sure to head on over to 4 Crafty Chicks -  I am sure you have the prefect card or project to share with us this week!

Also, a big thank you to Tiena for joining us as a guest designer this month! We enjoyed working and playing with you!

Color Combo at 4 Crafty Chicks

Good morning friends!  I hope you are enjoying the wonderful Fall weather as much as I am.  Last weekend I took a trip to Galena, IL - the fall colors were just beautiful!  I really enjoyed all the shopping and fun we had but my favorite part of the trip was all the beautiful landscape I got to see...

Today is Thursday, so it is time once again for a new challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks.  This week Lori is our hostess and she is giving us a color combo challenge:  CORAL, BLACK and WHITE.

For my card, I kept it pretty simple.  I used A Budding Friendship stamp set from Close To My Heart and cut out the flower.  I added it to a piece of black card stock and then embossed my sentiment in white.

Quick and simple!

So, head on over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your project today!  We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!

How simple is that!

So be sure to hop over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your Birthday idea today!  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

4 Crafty Chicks Thursday

Good morning friends!  It has been crazy around my house this last couple of weeks!  I just don't know where the time goes! I can hardly believe we are into October already - the leaves are falling - the air is nice and crisp and all the beautiful colors of Fall are all around!

This week I am hostess at 4 Crafty Chicks and I have a recipe for everyone to follow!

1 Image - 2 Pattern Papers and 3 Bling:

I decided to use the adorable little mermaid from Simply Betty.  I colored her with my Spectrum Noir and Copic markers then added a little bit of glitter to her tail fin.  Some bright green papers, ribbon, and flowers from my stash along with some little rhinestones finished her off.

Here is a close up of this adorable mermaid.

I can tell my coloring is way out of practice but it was nice to just sit down and color!

So be sure to hop over to 4 Crafty Chicks and enter your project today!

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!

You Are My Sunshine

Good morning Friends!  Today is Thursday so that means it is time for a new challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks.  

This week our lovely and talented Leanne is our hostess and she is looking for Sunshine. So show us your bright sunshine-y projects!  We can't wait to see them!

For my project (since I almost forgot what day it was this week) I have thrown together a quick simple canvas.  I painted the sun using acrylic paints and did the lettering using my Spectrum Noir pens.  A pretty quick and simple project but I know that my niece will love it!

So, be sure to hop on over to 4 Crafty Chicks and leave the rest of the girls some love!  And also a huge welcome to our guest designer this month: Tenia from Jazzy Paper Designs!  We are very excited to work with you this month!

Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!
