CH - 34 Anything but a Card or Tag

Hello dear sweet friends - hope you are doing well and happy!!
Boy do I feel out of loop in the creative department.  It feels so great to be back in full swing.  The past two weeks  have been busy with hospital visits and errands (for family members).  Fortunately everyone is doing better and that's what counts.

This week's challenge with Tuesday Alchemy is "Anything but a Card or Tag." 

We have two wonderful sponsors this week:



For this weeks challenge I decided to alter this old beat up wood wine bottle container I found at a yard sale about a year ago.  It holds two bottles of wine.  

Of course I wanted it to have a Paris theme and a slight Shabby Chic look to it.  This was actually a pretty quick project and I love how it turned out.  

I planned on keeping this one for myself and was even going to add more embellishments to the front of it but hadn't had the time yet.  A friend of a friend saw it and fell in love with it.  It made her so happy I just had to let it go home with her.  

So dear friends please jump in and join us in this week's challenge.  There is some great inspiration from our design team and guest design team this week.  You can find each of their blog links on the left side of the Tuesday Alchemy blog.  I am so looking forward to seeing what you create.

Hugs and smiles

Laine

Cinderella goes Camo

Hello my dear sweet friends -

I hope this finds you doing well.  It's been a while since I have been able to post and yet I have been able to get quite a few loose ends tied up.  I ended up making a quick trip to California to get the rest of personal stuff out of storage.  I am no longer scattered across three states and I can't even begin to express how wonderful that feels.  It will take me some time to get all my craft stuff set up and organized again but it looks like I will be able to really get on the ground running again.  It was a group effort and my sisters and brother in law were amazing and so incredibly helpful.  

A few days before the trip I received a phone call (out of the blue) from a dear friend I worked with at the Police Department in California 20 years ago.  It was great hearing from him and we have been having fun getting caught up on things. My my, so many new and exciting changes.  I am still working on getting my health back on track and doctors say I a…

Orchis Last Enchanter - Morgan's Art World

Happy Monday Sweet Friends
My goodness it's the final day of October and this year is almost over.  Time passes way to quickly.
Today I am sharing my Design Team Card for the Classic Design Team Challenge that is now underway through November 27th.  Our sponsor this month is the talented artist Morgan Fitzsimmon owner of Morgan's Art World on Facebook.

The image I am using is called "Orchis Last Enchanter."  I think she's a gorgeous image and to be quite honest I was intimidated to color her.  I desperately wanted to do her justice.  It took several attempts at coloring her before I was pretty happy with the results.  She's really a great image to work with and she's actually one of my most favorite digi's.   I made some flowers with one of my flower die cuts.  I absolutely love these flowers and will be making many more in the future.

Here is the link to Morgan's Facebook Group:
