The Craft Barn: Q & L Challenge

For the new Craft Barn Challenge I decided to make a page for my Art Journal. 

The Challenge is to use the words HURT and/or KNOWLEDGE in a quote or lyric.
 I choose the quote: "Laugh until your cheeks hurt".
The background is a mix of different acrylic paints and I've used a couple of vintage images.

I've made this matchbox for a swap at one of my Yahoo groups and thought this would fit the Craft-Room Challenge

For the matchbox I've used Distress Inks and the paper and the images are from Crafty Individuals. 
The backgrounds for the little tags are made with 3 different Distress Inks and VersaFine. 
The Stamps are from Stampendous called "Mini Music".

Less Is More: Makes me smile!

Happy Easter everyone. 
This card is for the new Less is More Challenge - Week 168 Recipe.
The Challenge is Makes me smile!


There are a couple of things why this card makes me happy: 
First the colour combination and I just love heat embossing. 
The stamp is from PaperArtsy and is one of my favourites. Looking at this cute cat just makes me smile and reminds me of the cat we had when I was a kid.
It's maybe a bit hard to read on the scan, but the quote says: "You know you love me" :)
 

 For this card I've used a Rangers Big & Juicy ink pad and a brayer, Cosmic Shimmer gold embossing powder and Candi.

I'm afraid the gold embossing is not easy to spot on the scan. I've added a
larger image of the cat and hope it's easier to see.
