W2CB #36: Winter is the Time for Comfort

Welcome back!  It's Wednesday and time for another quote-inspired challenge over at Words 2 Craft By!  This challenge is based on the following quote by Edith Sitwell:

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth,

for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire:

it is the time for home.

There are so many possibilities for your projects with this one!  I went for warmth and created this quilt card with Christmas colors.  It reminds me so much of a quilt that my great-grandmother made and was passed on to me.  It's a little worn but still very warm with memories of home.

Please play along ~ we can't wait to see what you create!  And don't forget to visit the other I-Teamers' blogs for some awesome inspiration.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  

W2CB #35: Small Hearts, Large Gratitude

Good morning, W2CB friends!  It's time for another quote-inspired theme over at Words 2 Craft By!

Our quote this month is:

Who doesn't love all things Pooh Bear and Piglet!  Here's my I-Teamer card:

I only used two Distress Ink colors for my card today.  I lightly stenciled a brick wall on the card front.  Then I die cut the leaves out of watercolor paper and smooshed them around in a couple of ink puddles.  The "Grateful" die cut was also watercolored, glued to another fun foam "Grateful" die cut, and clear heat embossed twice.  After layering the sentiment over the leaves, I splattered the card with the leftover ink. 

We hope you'll play along with the theme this month and look forward to seeing your projects!  There's a couple of SSS gift cards up for grabs - now there's something else to be thankful for!

I'd also like to link up this card today to the Thanksgiving or Thank You Challenge (SOS #277) over at Shopping our Stash and  The Paper Players latest theme challenge: "Thankful"

Thanks for taking the time to stop by!
