see your newest creations. I really like vintage images, and selected
this one from TLC for a card for my sister - she has 2 or 3 of the most
modern sewing machines, for quilting but probably learned on one similar
to this.<p></p>On a personal note - I am asking for your prayers. I
have started another round of chemo for endometrial cancer. So far I
have not had side effects which is a blessing. Unfortunately I have
some other health issues and must take a med that makes me very tired,
and takes away my ambition - hence I have been mostly MIA the past few
months.Dorothy Shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01879361412573321577noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101946730304982710.post-67498788686310317502020-09-30T00:00:00.066-07:002020-09-30T18:55:36.034-07:00Crafter's Cafe Oct 1 challenge -- anything goes<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMYVQXNllaNktSVRJTTrPW7mS77qn6qwmyXyuNwfk0xMg9pTe2xGMxnV11GVWGJ0OWS-YQ8SnvqdeB6bctx7_rgMlDqLA98U88vuJ9dmn6BKS4MZm-5QCEny_mWPfoOedTNh3uFAjZmtVI/s1219/10+1+20+Cr+Cafe+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1219" data-original-width="983" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMYVQXNllaNktSVRJTTrPW7mS77qn6qwmyXyuNwfk0xMg9pTe2xGMxnV11GVWGJ0OWS-YQ8SnvqdeB6bctx7_rgMlDqLA98U88vuJ9dmn6BKS4MZm-5QCEny_mWPfoOedTNh3uFAjZmtVI/s320/10+1+20+Cr+Cafe+.jpg" /></a></div>Tou have until Oct, 4 to post your entry for the current Crafter's cafe challenge - anything goes, once again.

I used this digital image from <b>Eureka -</b> Matthew 2:1-2. The challenge for the rest of the month at the <b>Crafter's Cafe </b>is "seasons", so I chose the Christmas season. You might even try food seasoning like salt and pepper. As you can see, I have used several layers.

Please join us this week for the Anything Goes challenge at the <b><a href="https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/">Crafter's Cafe.</a> </b> I selected a free digital image from my files - from TLC. This is a birthday card for my sister in law (shhh. #83). She was a teacher, so the book theme is appropriate. <br />

The new challenge at the Crafter's Cafe is to include dots and/or stripes. I found someof each in an old Debbie Mumm collection. Our first (and so far, only) great grand child will be one in November. so I am actually ahead of the game! While our grandson completes his med school residency they are living near a beach in Florida, so this <b>tropical </b>theme is quite appropriate. We obviously have not been able to see her in person but we see a lot of photos and videos on Facebook. <br />
Some of you may recall that I am not coloring much due to macular degeneration, but I did dust off the Prismas for this one. I added the Cuttlebug number 1 backed by a couple of die cut flowers.<br />
Please join us over the next couple of weeks for this challenge at the <b><a href="https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/">Crafter's Cafe</a>.</b>. I am sure you have some dots or stripes you can use! <br />
Remember the limit of ten challenges entered in addition to the Crafter's Cafe challenge.<br />

This cutie is a digi called Puppy Love - Heart String from Bugaboo, There are several male dog lovers in our family so for me it is definitely a masculine card! I you look closely you might see paw prints on some of the circles! The hearts are colored with markers, and I used a Spellbinder die for the mat. I hope you will join us at the current <b><a href="https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/">Crafter's Cafe</a></b> challenge to do a masculine card. You have until 5 A.M.

This uses a photo of an AZ sunset. We need something positive about our 110 degree heat!<br />
I rotated the sketch to fit the image. This is a birthday card for my sister in law.<br />

The challenge at the <b><a href="https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/">Crafter's Cafe </a></b>is Anything Goes. You have two weeks to enter, but be sure to enter no more than 10 other challenges, I selected this adorable image from Sheepski. I need a card for our son-in-law He is working at training a puppy named Harriet. The breed is wrong, but I copied the coloring from a photo we have. I hope he enjoys the effort! The strips are Washi tape I distressed the edges of the layers, and applied some ink directly from the ink pad to the beige layers.<br />

Once again I used a favorite i<b>mage from Beccy's Place </b>for a sympathy card. I like the simplicity of this silhouette - and since my eyesight is deteriorating, I tend to choose images that do not need coloring. The watercolor bg CS has shades of<b> green, blue and purple.</b> A strip of washi tape and lacy ribbon complete the sketch.<br />

Marge lost her husband to leukemia - just 18 days after diagnosis. He was 89, so lived a long and very blessed life. I wanted to recognize their deep faith as I made this card. I used washi tape and a Spellbinder die cut cross as embellishments.<br />
I have several copies of this image in my folder but have lost track of the origin. If you recognize it, please let me know.\<br />
I missed the deadline for Sketch Saturday!<br />

Penguins are a personal favorite. We have been fortunate enough to have visited several sites in the southern hemisphere with large penguin colonies - they are so fun to watch. This guy looks pretty proud of his catch! The pre-colored image is from <a href="http://\colour-digis cuddly-critters-penguin-colour">Dr. Digi.</a> The current challenge at the <a href="https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/">Crafter's cafe </a>is t<b>hings with wings.</b> We hope you will join us I used a scrap of patterned paper to represent the sea, and some sheer orange ribbon as well as a narrow ribbon for the bow = both in orange to match the feet and beak. The sentiment is from an acrylic collection, and I used a <b>metal charm</b> as an anchor.<br />

Unfortunately, I need to send another sympathy card. Marie has a deep faith, and I hope she finds this a comforting (digi) verse. The <b>scroll frame</b> is embossed on<b> shiny silvery cs.</b><br />

The current chalenge at the <b><a href="https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/">Crafter's Cafe</a> </b>is anything goes - I hope you will join us! My image is <a href="https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/232579383/baseball-bear?ref=shop_home_active_28">Baseball Bear </a>by All Dressed Up. i used pastel chalk to add some color. The strip is Washi tape; Labels die cut, fussy cut the bat and foot of the image; sentiment from a long time possession - Cuttlebug die. Baseball always makes me think of summer, patriotic colors and holidays like July 4. Maybe just not this summer...<br />

Details to follow - and here they are. I again used an image from<b> Beccy's Place</b>. This card will go to the family of our daughter in law. Her 90 year old father passed away with complications from pneumonia - not the virus. He had been in relatively good health so this was unexpected. The simple Swiss Dots embossing folder works well with this image. I added ribbon and a bow.<br />

Our friend Paul passed away recently. It is a sad time anyway, and more so right now as families have not been allowed to visit hospitals. The simplicity of this i<b>mage by Beccy </b>has always appealed to me, and I like the black and white.<br />

Our great niece just earned a PHD - what an achievement!<br />
I had a piece of black cs that I had previously used for an <b>oval cutout. </b> It was just the right size and shape, so I used it as a frame for the <b>starry</b> patterned paper. The sentiment is a strip of patterned paper, and the gold <b>stars</b> are acrylic.<br />

Our great nephew (or is it grand nephew?) is a 2020 graduate. I was able to use paprs and embellishments from my stash. The Congrats is part of one of the first <b>Cuttlebug</b> die I ever purchased - many years ago! I used an unknown die to cut the base for the <b>tag</b>.<br />
Congrats to all the graduates who have been experiencing such a difficult time in recent weeks.<br />
