<span style="font-size: large;">(My Favorite Things)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">this week is:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img alt="" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0034/2668/0896/files/MFT_ColorChallenge_PaintBook__126_grande.jpg?v=1569435285" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; border-style: none; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; display: block; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; height: auto; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 3em auto; max-width: 100%; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: top; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" />Yes, disregarding the current season,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made this "card" for my mother because she loves all flowers all of the time!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The frame is pressed wood, stained to a dark walnut with </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tim Holtz Distress Stain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the image colored with orange and yellow Copic markers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply glued the thin wooden frame to a card base after finishing the details.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will make for a lovely piece of room décor after she reads the card inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The pin was one I made by "stringing" beads onto a long hat pin and inserted through the bow. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's always nice to know a card you work a long time making will be much appreciated not only at the time it's received, but kept and admired for a long while after!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This will bring a bit of the outdoors in for her!<br />

I made a folding box card for a friend who is wanting to start making more cards and knew she could use this as a template for some ideas of her own!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used two different HM images to make the background plus the two little guys in the foreground!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">This week's challenge at </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">the <a href="https://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/">House Mouse Challenge Blog</a> is:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Autumn/Fall!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good thing because I have several more Halloween cards to make before mid October!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked an image I hadn't had the chance to color before now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How cute are these little mice?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And additionally, the 1st prize this week is from Stampendous!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I DO so love me some scrumptious Stampendous goodies!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used their embossing powders (Aged Scarlet and Green Glitter) for the splats of paints. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been anxious to unpack more of my craft supplies to find my embossing heat gun!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You'll see me use many of their products on my cards!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As always, colored with Copics!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">have a monthly challenge of </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I ran across a cute little SD image that I've had for a long time,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> and with Halloween creeping up on us, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

card challenge to make a gift card holder was the perfect excuse to get out my goodies once more!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On my previous post, I showed the PI "Cowgirl" stamp used on a project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, here is the PI "Cowboy" image to pair up with that!</div>

He definitely calls for more masculine colors and I, not intentionally being partial, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
gave him a lasso and gold rodeo buckle!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that is only a pretend gun the little guy has. I am not a huge gun supporter, especially for those not trained in handling such things. But when in Arizona...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wish me luck this challenge go-around!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And get out and enjoy the weather if you are fortunate enough to live where it is comfortable!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My Favorite Things </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
challenge this week is to create a gift card </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
holder of some sort; card, bag, ect. and I love using an MFT image!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have had this pocket image forever and always use it as a go-to when I need a cute gift card item.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When colored in pastels, it can be an adorable baby or toddler gift card, and the color choices are unlimited. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this case, however, it HAD to be worn jeans!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
It worked perfectly with my little PI "Cowgirl" stamp. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tvqtHaokBKw/XVswu-1JmAI/AAAAAAAAIiU/3ou08eUOpQ8_cCWUviLXAE6hZS4dO8A5QCLcBGAs/s1600/MFT%2BBirthday%2BProject%2BCowgirl%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1414" data-original-width="1600" height="282" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tvqtHaokBKw/XVswu-1JmAI/AAAAAAAAIiU/3ou08eUOpQ8_cCWUviLXAE6hZS4dO8A5QCLcBGAs/s320/MFT%2BBirthday%2BProject%2BCowgirl%2B1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stamped pocket is applied to both a white Copics paper and, in this case, a tan patterned cardstock paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Color the one on white paper in any color you would like your pocket to be. Then fussy cut out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and adhere along the edges to the background pocket. This creates your "gift card pocket".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that, anything goes! Create away!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've added a little silver cowboy hat charm on the sentiment!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Living in Arizona, these are some of my favorite PI images !</div>
