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.

I'm back (and have a card to share!)

I'm not quite 100% yet but I'm back! Still coughing up a storm but otherwise am feeling okay finally.

This is the first of 10 cards that I made yesterday at the crop and it's for this week's Paper Cutz Challenge! Create a LO, card or project for Halloween using stars, circles, diamonds or crescents. I've got some circle gems and I used my EK Success star border punch.

While I was at the crop, I did shop LOL! Tim Holtz has some super neat embossing folders out and I got a Halloween set and a Christmas set. The one used above is called Halloween Words, thought it was so cool! The paper (Echo Park Paper Company) and cardstock are from the Taylored Expressions Halloween project pantry kit and the image is from the TE Trick or Sweet set, I was able to make 6 cards altogether using the images from the set. I'll be showing them all week!

I used this sketch from Taylored Expressions~
