You will have until 10 pm Sunday to finish the hop and leave your comments.
Winners will be announced on Wednesday 11/22/17 at Connie Can Crop.
Be sure to follow everyone and leave a comment along the way!


I wanted to create a special card for someone that I think doesn't get thanked often enough! Especially with all the crazy stuff happening in our world! This is who we have to thank for helping keep us safe! I don't have any one person in mind...but maybe I will just send it to the local station!



I used a Miss Kate Cuttables SVG file for the Police images and did a print and cut.
The sentiment is cut out from SVG cuts freebie section.
Also used paper and a stamp I had on hand!


Now Please hop on over to my dear friend KIM. I am super thankful for her and all these amazing girls who joined in this hop! And for you, for joining us! Thank you!

Here's our line up in case you get lost along the way.

YouTube Tuesday-8 Cards Using a Color Challenge

Pin It
Hi!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards with a YouTube Tuesday video.  Since our challenge this month is a color challenge, I felt it appropriate to share a video about color challenges:


In this video, she shows how she interpreted a color challenge on eight unique cards.  I hope this inspires you do make a project for our challenge this month:


And here's the color palette we're challenging you to use:


Our sponsor this month is Bugaboo Stamps and that would be enough to make me enter the challenge as they have the best digital images.

Guest Designer ~ Sandy Suarez

Pin It
Hi, I'm Sandy Suarez and I am so excited to be this month's Guest Designer for Connie Can Crop.  I have 4 sons and have been married for 27 years.  I work full time, and enjoy scrapbooking, making cards, homemade decorations and other various crafts on my spare time.  When you get a chance, please stop by my blog at Simply Crafty Creations by Sandy S.

The sponsor for this month's challenge is Bugaboo Digi Stamps



Using the below challenge/color palette











I made a welcome sign for the holidays with Bugaboo's "Bygfallfence Fall Fence" digi stamp.  I printed the digi stamp large enough for my frame, used alcohol ink markers to color it and added the word "Welcome" cut with my Cricut Explore and also framed the digi stamp with the same turquoise cardstock.
 
Added a little shine with a Gelly Roll shimmer pen.
 
 
 
Well, I must say, I think it turned out pretty cute.  Something I can take out every year for the fall season.
 
 


Thanks for visiting!
