All Hallow's Eve

The current challenge over at Doodle Dragon Studio's is to make "anything" for Halloween! I find making Halloween cards so much fun that I have a ton of Halloween cards!!! This is going to be the last Halloween card I make for this year. Time to put all these fun stamps away and get working on some cards for the next Holiday!

Last Minute Halloween Packaging

This weeks challenge over at All That Scraps is "Last Minute Halloween Packaging". They would like to see some cute thing to put those Halloween Treats in! Mine is a Pixie Stix holder.

Trick or Treat Me

Trick or Treat Me is the challenge over at Belles 'N Whistles. It's really simple and it doesn't have to have anything to do with Halloween. They want you to just have fun. Check out all the details by visiting their Challenge Blog!

All Sewn Up

This weeks challenge over at Karen's Doodles is "All Sewn Up"! That means you can use real stitching (either on a machine or by hand) or faux stitching. And of course you will need to use a Karen's Doodle. You can even get a FREE digital image to enter the challenge!

Oh My PrismaColors

This past Wednesday the theme of The Greeting Farm's Whatcha Tootin' About Wednesday was "Oh My PrismaColors. Check them out at their Club Anya & Friends blog for all the details.

Magnets

This week over at All That Scraps their challenge is to make a magnet. There are no rules so long as it is a magnet. I used my Fall Hansel and layered him on some card stock then sent the entire project through my Xyron loaded with magnet strip. Once that was complete I trimmed the edges and I had a magnet!

Distressing Again

This week we are "Distressing" with Karen's Doodles. This time I've used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in "tea dye" for the image. For the edges of the papers I used the Stampin' Up distressing tool and coordinating ink colors.

Autumn has Arrived

It appears as if Autumn has finally arrived here in Pennsylvania. Out nights are getting fairly chilly and last night we had a light frost.

I'd like to share this card I made recently after learning this new thechnique from a friend at the Stamp Express.

Blowing in the Wind

The last few days have been particularly windy here and I feel like I've been blowing around in that wind. I've been so busy the working on organizing the 600+ cards we received for our Operation Write Home drive. Needless to say, I didn't get anything else done but that the last few days, that is why I didn't get to post anything yesterday.
.
I did get to make a quick card this morning using Belle Sitting from Belles 'N Whistles. This card isn't for a challenge, I still have to check on challenges for this week!

Fall Decorations

A Little Distressed

Their is a little distressing going on over at The Greeting Farms Club Anya & Friends this week. There are lots of tools out there to distress. I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks for distressing with inks. This time I even used the Distress Inks to color my image!

And to help you; check out the tutorial videos on bow making at The Greeting Farms Club Anya and Friends Blog. Bow making is a talent that I've been blessed with, thankfully.

A Manly Card

This weeks challenge is to make a manly card over at All That Scraps. It can be for either a little man or a big man, so long as it is masculine. I'm using Fall Hansel again as I think he is so cute and this time I'm using a sentiment from the Autumn Sentiments set.

Halloween or Fall

Halloween or Fall is the theme of this week's challenge over at Karen's Doodles. I've been making so many Halloween card because they are just so fun to make that I decided I better go with the fall theme instead!

Mixing It Up

Belles 'N Whistles announced last week that they were mixing it up a bit and changing their challenges from weekly to bi-weekly. The current challenge began on September 27th and will be ending this week so hurry to their blog catch their sketch and play along.

Halloween Cards

Today I do not have anything ready yet for a challenge to share.....so I thought this would be the perfect time to share a few Halloween cards. I made these Halloween Cards with a stamps from All That Scraps. Check them out for these and other incredible stamps.

Clear Cards

This week we are making "Clear Card" for the All That Scraps Challenge. I've always admired these cards but have never made one, until now that is. I think I probably should have made my background a bit smaller so more of the clear card could be seen around but all in all I am happy with 1st try.
