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 :)

Paper Makeup Stamps - Sneak Peek Day #3

{Please scroll down for my Birthday Sundaes post}

Good morning! Have you been enjoying the Paper Makeup Stamps sneak peeks? If you haven't seen any yet, click {HERE} for Day 1 for the single stamps being released and {HERE} for Day 2  to see the new Color It Winter Tag set. All the new stamps will be released tomorrow night during our release party from 9pm-11pm EST. You can join us in the forum for fun chatter, games and prizes!

Today I get to peek a new set called Hand Made and it includes both sentiments and images to include on all your handmade art.  I have to admit that I found this set challenging at first and then came up with multiple ideas but decided to go with my first - isn't it nice when what you see in your head turns out like you envisioned it? I love it when that happens!

I participate in card swaps on a few card groups that I belong to. I used the digi version of this set to create a set of cards that I can include with those cards so the person knows who sent them the swap and how to contact me if needed. I think they came out so cute!

I shrunk the scissors and made them into a top and bottom border and then I changed the color of the sentiment and rotated it on its side. The beauty of digi images is all the fun things you can do with them. This month's release will be available in both digi and rubber format. I used glue dots to attach the ribbon...I did want to staple it but I haven't used the stapler in so long that it's hiding somewhere! My room really needs a good cleaning LOL!

I hope you enjoyed my peek! Tomorrow we will be having a blog hop starting at 7 am EST and then our party tomorrow night. Be sure to join us for both!

I am also entering my project into these challenges:
2 Sisters #64 - Ribbon
Crafty Catz #107 - Anything Goes

Have a great day!

Here is my card~

I just LOVE the colors in this paper! It's Authentique Blissful and I got it from Susana's. My favorite source for 6x6 paper. I used 3 different Martha Stewart punches for the butterflies and the sentiment is from the Birthday Cheer stamp set from Paper Makeup Stamps. Speaking of PMS, I'll be back in a few hours with my sneak peek for PMS' new release tomorrow!

It's time for another PaperCutz Challenge and guess what starting this week each challenge will run for 2 weeks now! This week's challenge is called "Gobble, Gobble" and we'd like to see you create a card, layout or project for Thanksgiving incorporating a favorite Thanksgiving dish.  Now if you know me, you know I do not cook LOL....so I saw this challenge and was like, eek what do I do??? Well last weekend I was flipping through some magazines and I found a recipe for Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake and earlier I had come across an adorable House Mouse image of the mousies eating pie and an idea sparked!

Here is what I came up with~

You can't tell in the picture but the image is cut out and popped up on the page.  I finished off the page with some buttons and twine from The Twinery. Click {HERE} to enter your creation and to see what the rest of the DT made. You have until November 17th to enter!

This week's Flutter By Wednesdays challenge is Thankful/Gratitude. Don't forget to include a butterfly, fairy or angel on your creation (I almost did!!)  Click {HERE} to enter your creation and for more inspiration, please visit my fellow DT members, links on my sidebar!

My card is the one I started coloring last week when I realized it didn't fit the challenge, he he. I'm excited to finally share my little PI girl with you all! This is Calendula and she is the October flower of the month. I just ordered November's and can't wait to get it! 

Here's a side view so you can see how I popped the flower up, this was done for a pop up swap that I am in a card group I belong to.  The paper is Crate Paper Farmhouse - a line I am in love with, just as much as I love their Random line LOL!  Everything except the rhinestones are from the TE October Key Ingredients kit.

I used this week's Critter Sketch Challenge sketch, perfect layout for my little girl!

Thanks for fluttering by today!
