Welcome to Tangle Tuesday! Today tile is inspired by Sabrina Chu. I am calling this "Autumn Splendor". I love how the Zig clean color markers blend on the Zentangle renaissance tiles.
On a different note, I am excited to announce that two pieces of my Zentangle art will be on display at the Chester County Arts Association Members Exhibit. The opening reception is Thursday October 6, from 5-7pm. The Exhibit will be from 10/6-10/20.
It's another dreary, cool, and rainy day here. Hey! I am OK with that. We need the rain and I was so tired of the heat. It's a good day to hunker down and craft. AS much as I am enjoying the rain, my thoughts and prayers are with all those in Florida dealing with the effects of Ian.
You still have one more week to play along with our fun sketch challenge at Inky Paws.
It's the time of year, where you will see me crafting with kraft, paper that is. Something about kraft paper just makes me think of fall and Thanksgiving. Today's card features "Signs of Fall", Autumn paper pack, and the "Argyll" stencil. all from Newton's Nook.
The musical inspiration seems like an obvious choice for a wet rainy Monday.

Happy Monday. Well fall did blow in on Thursday and the weather has been refreshingly cool. Something about being able to put on a sweater makes me happy. Thankful for these little things.
Today we start a new sketch challenge at Inky Paws. I decided to turn the sketch on it's head, being as I am partial to vertical cards.
Today's card uses lots of fun product from Newton's Nook. "Paw-tumn Newton", "falling leaves" stencil, and "fancy edges tag" die set,
I am not really familiar with this group- One Direction, but their song "Little Things" is just so sweet.

Happy Labor Day folks! The summer is over and now we fall into autumn. Labor day marks a year since I woke up at 4:30 in the morning and headed out to work at the hospital. What started out as a temporary break from work ended up as retirement!! A year full of creative doings. Over the past year, I received my Zentangle certification, I've been experimenting with watercolors and taking numerous classes on abstract art to use with my Zentangle. Not to mention the 2-3 books a week I am reading. The best year ever!
You have one more week to play along with our "Fall" theme at Inky Paws.
Something about fall just call for kraft paper. My card today features some oldies and some new stuff from Newton's Nook. I used the "Jack-O-Lantern" stencil and "Autumn Mice". You might notice a strip of fall leave paper. This is from the new "Autumn" paper pack. I just swiped some brown ink over it to change the color. This is a good tip to make your pattern papers work for your design.
Today's musical inspiration is from the great Dolly Parton. It's in honor of everyone that is still putting in their 8, 10, or 12 hour days!!

The summer is winding down and despite the continued heat and lack of rain, fall is peeping out. Schools are starting and the stores are displaying Halloween stuff. What a great summer I had. The first entire summer off in 42 years!!
With all this in mind, Inky Paws is having a "Fall" theme challenge. We are gently leading you into the big holiday season- Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years.
Today's card features a few new products from Newton's Nook - "Harvest Haul" and the "Autumn" paper pack. I used a base of kraft paper because it just feel so fall like.

Hi everyone! Today is a reminder week to share your "fall foliage" cards at Cupcake Inspirations.
years now. I love getting on my ipad and doodling images. Drawing is one of my passions. I have recently opened a new store where you can buy my designs as digital stamps. You can find my store on Etsy called PJMooreIllustrations.
I am a wife and mom to 3 and grandma to 3. I also work full time as a para-educator so I keep pretty busy. Thanks for having me as your sponsor for the challenge this week.
Happy Monday everyone! Did any of you celebrate World Card Making day? I spent the day in my studio. How did you all spend it? Did you get together with friends or did you craft solo like me?
Since it is Monday that means a challenge at Inky Paws. Today is a reminder that you have till Friday to play along with our "Autumn" theme.
My very clean and simple card today features "Paw-tumn Newton" by Newton's Nook. The sentiment is from the "Fall Roundabout" stamp also from Newton's Nook.
Happy Friday and welcome to October. So glad to be facing the weekend and to celebrate World Card Making Day which is coming up tomorrow! How will you be spending it? I plan on celebrating with a day of crafting with my BFF.
Today though we start a new challenge at CAS on Friday. Today's theme is a bit of a no-brainer and so timely.
Today's card features some really old stamp sets from Great Impressions. "Harvest Mouse" and "Pumpkins in a Row".
You have two weeks to get your autumn on and share your creations with us at CAS on Friday!
Autumn arrived last week and the leaves are starting to change with some cooler weather moving in here in Pennsylvania. Time to put away all my summery and springy stamps and pull out fall and winter sets.
Today starts a new challenge at Inky Paws. The theme is Autumn. All those wonderful oranges, reds, yellows and browns. Yay!!
Today I am doing a bit of coloring blocking with fall colors and Newton's Nook's "Fall Roundabout stamp and their circle frames set.
Good morning all! It's time for another challenge at Inky Paws. The weather inspired this fall card. It's cooler here and the leaves are started to change and the light in general is more muted. Bring on the sweaters and long pants!
My card today uses the stencil from Newton's Nook- "Pumpkin Patch" and the sentiment is from NN's "Fall Roundabout" stamp set.
