MMS Trick or Treat Challenge

{Please scroll down for my PMS Sneak Peek and Birthday Sundaes posts, thanks!}

I was scrolling through my Google Reader and saw that I saved the MyMemories challenge for this week which is "Trick of Treat".  I purchased the Spooked Pack to use on pictures of Amber dressed up as a witch :)

This page took me way too long to complete LOL. I don't use the software as often as I should so it was a learning process especially trying to layer the papers.  I am happy with how it turned out though :)

Trick or Sweet for TE's Blast from the Past hop!

Welcome!

If you are here from Cindy's blog, you are on the right track! If you are just here visiting (Hi!!), please start the hop at Taylor's blog! This is my stop on the hop for the Taylored Expressions Blast from the Past hop. 

This month's theme is Trick or Sweet and we were to make some Halloween related or something sweet :)

I pulled out my Trick or Sweet stamp set and last year's Halloween Project Pantry kit. I used a TE sketch from a few weeks ago (I've shared it below) Everything is from the kit except the gems and what's a Halloween card without using the Martha Stewart drippy goo border punch :)

I finished off the inside with another sentiment from the kit and 2 more cuppies.

This is the sketch that I used - definitely a fun one!

Your next stop on the hop is LESA!

Best Witches for TPV!

As long as I have oodles of stuff strewn around the dining room, I decided to make a card tonight.  I was able to use the card layout from Scrappin-N-Chattin, a yahoo group I belong to and the Threads challenge at The Paper Variety. 

Supply List~
Stamps - cat from my image basket, not sure of the source, sentiment from Taylored Expressions Trick or Sweet set
Paper - cardstock and Echo Park designer paper from a TE Halloween kit from last year
Ink - the image edges were inked in Memento London Fog and the sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black
Other - Marvy circle and scallop circle punches, zig writer for dots, misc. brads from kit, ric rac from kit, Stampin' Up Modern Label punch, Gold Lame Smooch (hard to see in photo)

Shopping Our Stash Challenge #3

Good morning!

I'm so excited to share my Guest Designer project for Shopping Our Stash with you!

The challenge for this week is: UFO Sightings from Area 51 (better known as Unfinished Objects in your craft room).  I'm sure at least one or two of you can find something you started and never finished right?  I know I have several...I loved them unfinished so much that I even moved them that way when I moved 2 years ago and they were at least a year old at that point!

Here is what I chose to finish up for this challenge:

I am not quite sure what I originally intended for these pieces...I think I was working with a sketch from the old SCS Bella forum for these fun witches from Stamping Bella named Witchybella. I improvised and came up with these...

It was fun to mix newer products into these old pieces. I embossed the black background with a Tim Holtz Alterations folder. I used copics to color in the images and put Smooch on the tights/shoes. The tombstone brads are from my stash as well. I am now way ahead for Halloween, wow! LOL!

I sure hope you will join us with your UFO projects this week at Shopping Our Stash! You can see lots of wonderful samples on the SOS blog.

Witchy Fairy!

I created this card last night for Flutter By Wednesday #128 (purple, orange, black with a butterfly, fairy or angel) & Mercy's Tuesday Sketch #97. I just love how it came out!!

At first Witchy Fairy (from Paper Makeup Stamps) was just on a white background but she looked so blah, so I found a piece of sponge and added some SU Apricot Appeal to the background, I think it really helps Witchy pop! I was going to chalk the background at first but I have no clue where the chalks are, must be in one of the boxes that I still need to unpack LOL! All supplies on the card (with the exception of the images/ink) are from the Taylored Expressions Project Pantry kit that I got last month. I still have plenty left to make more cards next year!

Here is the sketch~my version is a little different since my image panel was much larger than I gave it space for LOL.

Thanks for looking!!

It's a Sparkly Lollipop Crafts!

It's the end of September already, how did that happen??

This is my last post as a GDT for Lollipop Crafts. I've so enjoyed playing along with them every week and hope to continue to do so as a regular player.

Today's challenge is all about the sparkles - Glitter, Sparkle & Gems. Bling out your cards/projects and enter them HERE. While you are there, check out what the rest of the team did with their sparkles :)

Soft Pencil Digital Stamps is this week's sponsor. Look at this little cutie that we were given to use. The lucky winner this week will win a $10 gift certificate to spend at the Soft Pencil store.

Her name is Little Witch and she is just the cutest lil witch I've seen in awhile! All of the paper and embellishments are from the TE Fright Night Project Pantry Kit. The layout is from a new to me challenge blog, City Crafter Challenge Blog.


Have a great day!!!

Its a Candy Corn Halloween :)

I'm back with another Halloween card for you! This is the card I mailed to my mom, she liked it a lot :)

This adorable image was sent to me by my friend Terry. She is a huge House Mouse fan
The paper is all DCWV from various fall stacks. I can probably make at least 50 more cards with all the paper I have for this holiday. I used my spica glitter pens to color in the candy corn costumes and candy. Look below for a close up view of the sparkle. I didn't want to over embellish the card, so I used a single Petaloo Dazzler to accent. Love those! The layout is from SCS- SC252, I think this will be fab with a Christmas card!


I'm off to make sugar cookies with Mom. Will share another card when I get back!

Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!

Anyone have any big plans today? My plans are working on the house, making cards and running errands - exciting, eh? I did buy candy to give out tonight, now I just hope the rain holds out long enough for me to get some trick or treaters! Since I'll be around today, I thought I'd share my Halloween cards one at a time instead of all in one post, so be sure to come back and visit later on!

Here is a card created with an image from a friend. She borrowed some of my Christmas stamps and in return sent me a bunch of Halloween, Fall and Thanksgiving images to play with.

At first I didn't care for it but after looking at it a few more times, it grew on me. I used one of Mercy's Tuesdays sketches (MTSC44) for the layout.


Card Supplies:
Stamps: image from someone else
Paper: DCWV
Ink: Memento for the inked edges
Copics: YR16, YR68, YG17, E25, E35
Accessories: ribbon (Michaels), brads (Joanns), Marvy Giga Scalloped Oval punch, Glossy Accents

The Last of the Halloween Cards

Here are a few more of the Halloween cards I made this year.

Here's Witchybella ready to party!

Stamps: Witchybella (Stamping Bella), sentiment (Studio G)
Ink: Onyx Black (Versafine), Hydrangea (CTMH)
Paper: DCWV
Accessories: ghost eyelet (unknown), Stickles, prismacolor pencils

This is one of my favorite new stamps that I've gotten in the last few months. I won both of them on ebay. I couldn't wait to use him so I could use the coveted Martha Stewart Drippy Goo punch. I found mine at a LSS up in Vermont on a weekend getaway.

Stamps: Stampendous
Ink: Onyx Black (Versafine)
Paper: DCWV
Accessories: Drippy Goo punch (Martha Stewart), ribbon (unknown), prismacolor pencils

TFL!

Happy Halloween!

I made a few of these for Halloween swaps. I just love this kitty witch, I used her last year too. I used another sketch from the Poetic Artistry blog - Mojo Monday #58. And I used my SU Designer Label punch, I bought it over a year ago thinking I'd use it all the time and I haven't. I need to find more ways to incorporate it.

Stamps: B1098 Kittens in Costume (CTMH), sentiment (Studio G)
Ink: Versafine
Paper: DCWV, Bazzill
Accessories: Prismacolor pencils, brads, SU Designer Label punch

For those that celebrate Halloween, have a safe and happy one!
