Going to the Pumpkin Patch with PaperCutz!

TGIF!

It's time for this week's PaperCutz Challenge!  We are "Going to the Pumpkin Patch"!  Make a card, LO or craft project for Fall using Cricut cut, hand stamped, or digital stamped pumpkins, and any colors you’d like!  You can enter your creation {HERE} and while you are there check out the samples from the DT AND see who is joining our team next week!  I am happy to see a few names on the list that I know. Welcome ladies! 


I decided to make a tag this week using my all time favorite fall stamp - Pumpkin Patch Riley. Tags are something that do not come easily to me but I keep 'pinning' tags on Pinterest so I thought it was time I made one. 

Supplies Used~

• Riley & Company - Pumpkin Patch Riley
• My Favorite Things - Dienamics Tag You're It and Stamp Set
• CC Designs - Amy R Autumn Sentiments
• Papertrey Ink Ripe Avocado cardstock
• Imaginisce - Apple Cider paper
• Memento Ink - Tuxedo Black & Rich Cocoa
• bling & ribbon from a TE Key Ingredient Kit (Oct. 2010)
• Copics
• pop dots (used to pop Riley up)

TFL!

Cooking It Up with Katie #74

It's the middle of the week already!

It's time for Cooking It Up with Katie!  This week our sponsor is Gingerloft Digi Images. Click {HERE} to play along with us and to check out what the other chefs made :)

We'd like to see you use this recipe on your creation:

• Use some Purple
• Tie a Bow
• Finish it off with a sentiment

Here's what I created:

I used last week's sketch from The Paper Players, worked perfectly for my Riley image. I love the 'spooky' feel to my card.  The BG Eerie is some of my favorite Halloween paper EVER and I will be so sad when I use it all up! Good thing I bought an extra 6x6 pad lol! I tried to stamp the sentiment in Brilliance white ink and that didn't work out too well so I stamped over it in black and I love how some of the white shows up on the edges, I think it adds to the spookiness, he he.

Supplies Used:

• Riley & Company - Witch on Broom
• My Craft Spot - Happy Haunting 
• Basic Grey Eerie 
• Papertrey Ink Stampers Select White & Plum Pudding cardstocks
• Memento Tuxedo Black ink
• Marvy circle & scallop circle punches
• The Twinery Charcoal twine

Paper Cutz #81 - St. Patrick's Day

{2nd post of the day - please scroll down for my Lasting Memories challenge!}

I'm a few days late with the Paper Cutz challenge...finally managed to get a card done today. The first attempt ended up in the trash last week. The challenge is St. Patrick's Day (as if you couldn't tell by my post title lol!) Not completely thrilled with this card, I think if I was to re-do this card I would use a white base and layer the green embossed background on top.

I did create this card with 100% stash, I'm quite proud of that. Little by little, I'll get this stuff used up!

I used Cardabilities #26 for the layout of the card.

I also incorporated these challenges~
The Corrosive Challenge #106 - Going Green!
Do You Stack Up #9 - Just Green It!
Friday Mashup #34 - Thinkin' Green
Clear It Out Challenge #1 - Anything Goes

TFL!

It's Fall at Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday!

Just a quick note before the challenge...still sick, went back to the doctor's yesterday and I have bronchitis...so I will be somewhat MIA as I try to finally kick this crap that's been kicking my butt for the last 5 weeks.

This week's challenge at Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday is FALL, my favorite time of year! We are sponsored by Inktegrity, for your chance to win the prize, please click HERE to enter your creation!

For my card, I used one of my newer Riley stamps....not really thrilled with this card as I just couldn't figure out what I wanted to do and just had to 'get it done'. The paper is from the Apple Cider collection by Imaginisce and the buttons are from the Basic Grey Pyrus collection.

Back to resting...which is really boring but necessary LOL
