Anything Halloween Challenge

Good morning all and a happy weekend to ya!  It has cooled off quite a bit here over the last few days, and boy is it a relief!  It's nice when the AC can kick off for a bit!

I'm here with a new challenge over at Simply Betty Challenges.  The new theme?  ANYTHING HALLOWEEN!  As you all know, we LOVE Halloween!  If you missed it, we released some new Sweet Gothic Kids images last week in the Halloween genre, so that's what we have all used for the challenge.  I made a cute little milk carton treat box and used Franken-Scott for the tag.  He is too fun, right?!

Be sure to check out the SBC blog to see how you can be our next winner!  ;O)

Stamps and Other Items 4 Sale!

Good afternoon everyone!  The cleaning has begun!  I have decided that I have SO MANY unused and unloved crafty goodies that I need to make room for the stuff I really do use frequently.  I have started a FOR SALE TAB here on my blog.  Please take a peek and see if anything tickles your fancy.  Remember that I am always open to making deals or negotiations.  I plan to be adding more daily and I'll try to remember to add a post here to let you know.

While I'm here I wanted to let you all know that the latest challenge is up over at Dustin Pike's blog, aka Pike's Playground.  The theme this week is Girl Power!  Head on over to check out all the inspiration!

Season's Greetings

Hellooooooooo!  I'm so sorry I'm late with my post.  It has been a hectic and busy the last couple of days, and I never check to make sure I had set my post to auto post at the correct time.  :O(

This is unfortunately my last post for StampFairy as a Guest Designer.  I wanted to say thank you to Gerda and Jackie for making me feel so welcome!  Today starts a very fun challenge over StampFairy Challenge.  Christmas in July with a twist of making an easel card.  This is my third easel card ever and I am loving it!  I really should make more of these, right?  I used the adorable Jake Poinsettias image and fussy cut him for my card.  I used some distress ink to color the doily and I also colored the roses with my Copics to match the DP.  What do you think of my easel card?

Be sure to check out the SFC blog for all the deets on the challenge!  Are you our next winner???

I'm here with another card for StampFairy Challenge...this time we have a color challenge for you!  I do so love color challenges and this is one of my faves!  AQUA, MELON, KRAFT.  I used one of the Lenny Fruits images for my card along with the freebie sentiment.  I made the peach DP to go with him and I love the look of it!  :O)

ZOO-PENDOUS Birthday

Day Late and a Dollar Short...

Hello, people!  Happy Saturday to you!  I am hoping that yours is more exciting than mine is!  ;O)  I came by to add a card I made the other day using the current challenge over Tiddly Inks Challenge - Reel Me In.  The day late and dollar short bit comes in the way of always using a sketch a day late.  I used Deconstructed Sketches #9 and they are now on #10.  Oh, well!  Jen's sketches are always wonderful anyway!  :O)

I used the Alice - Time for Tea image for my card along with some MME paper...I love, love, love this paper pad!  She has been colored with Copics and I sponged the background for her.

Oh, before I forget...I have a couple of cards that are being published tomorrow at Scrapbook News and Review's online magazine!  How flipping cool is that!  If you are subscribed, I sure hope you'll pop by take a peek!  :O)

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing part of your weekend with me! 

Celebrate!

Good morning all!  I hope your Monday has started out fantastical and continues through the week.  :O)

I'm popping in with my 2nd Guest DT post for Stamp Fairy at StampFairy Challenge.  Today's challenge is all something NEW.  Today I used a new card technique called the side step fold.  It was easy peasy and adds an extra little something to your card.  My daughter loved it and asked that I make one for her birthday.  :O)  I used 2 different stamps from the Lenny Cupcakes collection.  Each one had another bear with it, but I chose to cut them out for this particular card.  I hope you like it!

Be sure to check out the SF challenge blog and join us...we can't wait to see what you'll come up with!
