Halloween fun

I wanted to get a head start with some of the Halloween goodies.. mainly because it will be just a matter of moments before my head spins off...I have two going to Homecoming (next weekend), Fall camping (this weekend), one participates in the Army Ten Miler race (DC- next weekend), Oktoberfest (this weekend) and whatever else they throw at me. Fun of parenting teens right?  

 

I used the Retro Sketches Challenge for some cards, since it really helps me getting rid of some of this Halloween scraps! I am sorry I missed the challenge date but the sketch itself was fun!

Using the Frightful sight DSP, give me some options and color combinations I am alittle nervous about but what the heck.. Here is a card with some Pumpkin fun - maybe too dark but still festive!

  I used the sketch from Sketch Frenzy Friday for a few others.

Blogger Challenge - Birthday

Quick birthday cards for the Bloggers Challenge today.. The storms that rolled through have reeked a little havoc on the gardens, so I want to get out there early and get a move on it... before the day gets away. 

 

I used the Print Poetry paper that I haven't touched before, and it was great accent on the cards.

Get Well Posies

  

Happy Tuesday!!! 

We are possibly getting another winter storm... maybe just some rain... but its perfect weather to snuggle under blanket and read... but I wanted to get a few cards out first!

  

Paper Players has a great Clean sketch for the week,and paired with Dynamic Duos, I loved it for the Get well card I needed for a friend who is done at the moment! I used the Pop-up Posies in Pool Party, with a glitter brad.

Stay warm & cozy!

so Cute

I got alittle crafty before listening to MacFarlane open the Oscars last night... Its not exactly as I had planned, but I like it. I have been looking at the color challenge from Fab Fri, for almost 2 weeks... so I finally just buckled down and attacked it! 

Using a bunny & the sketch challenge from Friday Mashup! was alittle more difficult, since I didn't think I had any non punch bunnies in my stash... but this little guy from So Cute (retired)  fits the bill!

 

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by! 

Get Well

  To all the sickies out there.. STAY HOME!!!! 

Yes, I know that its "that time of year" and that somethings happen, however, sometimes its better if you stay home than try to work, since you are just infecting the rest of us!  The current nirovirus that is sweeping the nation, is just...well... dangerous. Knock on wood, we haven't had it visit our house, but at work and school .. oh yeah.. by the numbers...

I put together some get well cards. Perfect use of the SU! Pop Up Posies Designer kit, just like I used yesterday.  Of course using the Pool Party makes even better. 

    

 I used the Mojo Monday sketch, to put this together. It was fun and the touch of Indigo makes it fun! Go ahead, give it try! 

You will love it too!

Delightful Birthday

As usual, my stash of birthday cards diminishes before my very eyes. I knew I had some designer paper that was lacking  some love over the last few years, so now I was put to the test...but hey that makes creating fun! 

 

I love the way it turned out. Some color, some design and wah la! I have a new stack of birthday cards!

  

Its Birthdays over at Bloggers Challenge today and I used the Deconstructed Sketch. This I will keep it in my sketch book for later use! I love it!

Simple little trio

 This week has been crazy cold for Central PA.  I never remember temperatures like this... but we will survive!  I have a heater that is in the craft cave but sometimes that doesn't help the draft that just crawls across the shoulders...so I have been bundled up with my Kindle, reading... another enjoyed past time.

This year as accomplishments, I wanted to get some cards together that I could put into gift giving sets. No matter what time of year! So here is the start:

  

Using the Delightful Dozen "Happy Fathers Day" sentiment, this came together quickly. 

 

Party this Way, and some more retired papers made a great birthday card. 

 

A very fun designer paper, completed the set of three with a Thank you!

All three cards use the Paper Players Challenge Sketch, which is going to be kept for later use...when the mojo needs some prompting.
