Rustic Car in the Woods

Hi Crafters:
I learned a new technique from Frenchie's video today called Woodland Embossing. I am calling my card - Rustic Car in the Woods.  I see where I need to perfect the technique  a bit - but I am happy with how this turned out - it is art - and now since I created this car behind these tree creation, my head is spinning to try other types of background stamping with embossing folders. Thanks for stopping by and hope you give this a try! Enjoy your day.  ~ Gail ~

Deedee's October Progressive Challenge

Welcome Crafters:

It is time for the October Progressive Challenge at Deedee's.   If you entered last month you should have received the new featured digital set for this challenge - Pumpkin Patch

 If you have not entered - just hop on over to Deedee's STORE and purchase the featured set - create - upload - and then enter the challenge again in November using the  FREE set you will receive from entering the October challenge.  

Keep entering each month - and you receive the featured set FREE! What a deal! I just love a progressive challenge - it keeps me motivated to create and I love receiving a free set of digital stamps!

Today I created a quick and easy card to make using the colored digital scarecrow - we all need a quick card sometimes and what a grand way to create one quickly rather than run to the store and purchase a card. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to see you at the challenge! Have a blessed week! ~ Gail ~

Howdy Crafters - Isn't this scarecrow the cutest? I received him free when selected as a winner at the NEW Challenge at Miss Rach's blog. I am entering her second weekly challenge too.

I am using this cute scarecrow to enter the Cut It up challenge -Oh Brother -create a card for a sibling or someone like a sibling - This Scarecrow card is great for brother Bill - who lives in the country where all the scarecrows come alive! Yep, especially those during the month of October. He has lots of land, flowers, grass, and trees plus wooded area just right for a scarecrow to watch out for all of the black crows flying around in his area of the country.

 I also found other challenges to enter this creation - thanks for stopping by and be blessed! ~ Gail ~
