It's Story Time!

Happy Monday everyone ... I have a ton of cards to share with you all today. I will also have two more posts to upload throughout the day, so don't forget to come back to find out what is happening over here.

Now I am not going to tell you any stories today ... well not this post anyway LOL. My cards all have characters from fairy tales or books so I figured that was an appropriate title.

All the images used here are digital stamps from The Greeting Farm formerly known as Pink Poison. I really love their Anya & Ian Stamps and have been purchasing a few and when I found out last week that they had these 3 characters available as a digital download I just had to add them to my collection. The only difference is that rather than having to stamp out my image I have to print it out using my computer and printer.

After I purchased these images I printed them all out and colored them and had them sitting on my desk waiting to be made into something. I ended up using them to create cards for various sketch challenges that were posted last week.

The first card posted here uses "Red" from Little Red Riding Hood, I used the Technostampers sketch challenge to create my card. I also used the Stephanie Fizer digital papers.


My second card uses Alice from Alice in Wonderland. For this card I decided to use Mercy's Tuesday sketch challenge. I am very happy with my card although I was unhappy while making this as I broke my Lace Doily punch while I was making it ... so I found an old fiskars one instead I will have to get this one out again soon. And no my punch can't be fixed boo hoo!


My third card ... have you guessed it ... is Dorothy & Toto from the Wizard of Oz. For this one I used last week's Mojo Monday sketch .... did you know that there is a new blog devoted to the Mojo Monday sketch now.

The Alice & Dorothy cards both use paper from the SU East Coast designer paper pack.

My final project to share with you this post is this cute little basket/bag using the top note die .... I used Cornish Heritage Farm's lattice background to create the background on my top note layer.

Here is a side version of my gift basket/bag ... you can see how I sandwiched a bag between the two top note layers to create my project.
