October Designer Challenge- Fall Garden Bench card

Posted on October 4, 2022October 3, 2022 by mymessycraftroom5

Yay, its that time again, it’s the Karen Burniston October Designer challenge, and this month’s challenge is to make either a Halloween card or a Fall-themed card and I went with a fall-themed card. I have a co-worker who needed an anniversary card, and he also was requesting a card with fall colours, there was also talk of there possibly being a wooden bench swing for a gift so I challenged myself to make the Karen Buriston Garden Bench popup into a swing, and the results turned out better than I thought it would.

Supplies are listed at the bottom

Autumn Slimline Thank you -C4C560

Posted on November 6, 2020November 6, 2020 by mymessycraftroom5

Happy weekend, I am here this weekend with another Crazy4Challenges challenge. This weeks challenge was to make a “Thank You” or a Thanksgiving giving card. Well here in Canada Thanksgiving was last month so I decided to make a Thank you card. This past week the Karen Burniston design team (I am not a design team member) posted their monthly challenge which was to make a fall themed slimline card, so I decided that I would then make a Fall themed slimline Thank you card. This is what I came up with.

Autumn Leaves Anniversary Card -C4C499

Posted on August 23, 2019September 10, 2022 by mymessycraftroom5

*The weekend has rolled around again so that means another Crazy 4 Challenges challenge. This weeks challenge is called “Cut up Stamping”, this means that after you stamp an image or a background you cut out a section of the image. Most of the examples that I have seen usually it is a strip that is cut out, but you can try cutting it anyway that works for you. I watched a Jennifer McGuire video months ago so I was kind of working off some tips that she suggested in that video. In a lot of the samples I have seen the images tended to be floral, I wanted to do something different so I opted to do some autumn trees, this is an anniversary card for a couple that I am very close to that has an autumn anniversary (and they don’t go on the internet EVER (besides Netflix)so it is safe to post. (if you are reading this and can guess who this couple is DON’T tell them about this card 😀)

Fall Baby Scrapbook pages

Posted on October 29, 2018October 29, 2018 by mymessycraftroom5

Here are a few more pages from a baby book I had made for family friends. It is the fall and Halloween pages. I call it a growth chart book. I also give a Teddy bear with the book and for a year, every month and holiday the parents take a photo of baby with the bear and then they have a record of how much baby grew in their first year. Other pages can be found here https://mymessycraftroom.me/2018/08/31/monkey-fun/
