Life is a Daring Adventure...

Just a quick share from me this morning!

I made this at the crop a few Saturdays ago.  It was supposed to be for the MTME Pretty Patterns challenge but I missed the deadline since I didn't unpack for a week. LOL

I love how it came out. I think the inked edges really make each layer pop!

I used my last scrap of pleated black ribbon that I bought at the crop I went to in September. This time I bought some white, cream, silver and brown to use.  They were out of black, bummer!

The quote is from Paper Makeup Stamps, I used the large version for this card. There is also a small version and you can get it as a digi!

The paper is MME Vanity Fair which you can find at SCACD, my fave place to buy papers! I popped the quote off the layer underneath to give it a little dimension. Pearls are from my stash and the border was punched with an EK Success border punch. 

Here is the sketch! I think it's one I will use again :)

TFL! Have a great day!

Stars, Circle and Diamonds, Oh My!

TGIF! Any big plans for the weekend?  I hope to get some crafting & cleaning in my craft room done. I moved my desk last weekend and it makes a huge difference since I'm closer to the lighting but now I have a big mess to clean up LOL! Well several since every time I make a change, I've never finished cleaning it up! I'd rather spend my time crafting!

This week's PaperCutz Challenge is to make a card, layout or project for Halloween and to use circles, stars or diamonds.  Click {HERE} to enter your creation and check out the great DT samples!

Right away I knew what paper I wanted to use, I've had this Cosmo Cricket Matilda paper since it came out and haven't touched it. I also incorporated the House Mouse color challenge of orange, yellow, black and green after seeing my bloggy friend Vicki's card on Monday. It's been ages since I've played with my mousies! The mousie is from my stash of HM images and the sentiment is from the Happy Haunting set by My Craft Spot. The ribbon is from Walmart.

For the layout of the card I played along with My Time Made Easy Pretty Patterns #31 which is to choose a sketch from challenges #13-18.  I chose #17, pictured below. 

This card will also be entered into these challenges:
Going Grey with Scrap Creations: Halloween
Everybody Art #163: Halloween
Clear It Out Tuesday: Halloween + Old Supplies

TFL!

Cupcake Birthday

As promised, here is the card that I wanted to share using another of Pattie's Creations Digital Images.  I am very proud of how it turned out as I colored it with some of the skills I learned in Suzanne's class. The layout was inspired by THIS card sketch.  I gave this to my niece who celebrated her 1st birthday on Saturday :)

Have a great day!! Tonight I'm looking forward to getting creative after reading today's LOAD and May with May prompts!
