You Are So "Boo"-tiful

Hi there!  Happy Saturday!  Hope you are having a good weekend so far!  It's been another busy day, but I managed to sit down and finish a card I had in the works on my desk.  It is for Jackson's Digital Expressions #26 (sketch and Halloween), Polka Doodles #41 (Halloween), The Poodles Parlour (Halloween), Challenge Up Your Life #80 (Halloween/Autumn) and Simon Says Stamp (dies or punches).

Here is the JDE sketch:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Basic Black and the fun Halloween papers are from the K & Co. Kelly Panacci Halloween 12x12 pad.  I punched the picket pence with my Martha Stewart punch and the grass with my Fiskars Grass punch. The big yellow moon was cut with Spellbinders Grand Circle Nestabilities.  My cute image is Felicia Witch with Pumpkin from Guylou's Inimitability. You get three images with this set.  I used the one with the Jack O' Lantern.  I printed her on Neenah Solar White and colored her with my Copics.  I added Orange, Purple, Lime Green and Yellow Stickles to her wings and I used a Letraset Silver Metallic marker for the buckle on her hat.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is part of the Beware Halloween set in Paulette's store here.  A few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of Felicia:

Thanks for stopping by!  I've had a non-stop day, but I hope to settle down later and come by all your blogs!  Have a great evening!

When All Else Fails...

Good morning!  Happy Friday!  Hope you've had a good week and you're ready for a fun weekend!  For me and the "good week" part, not so much, but I'm definitely ready for the weekend to be here. Before I get on with a busy day, I'm here to post my DT card for this week's Copic/Promarker Challenge at The Outlawz site. This week's theme is "desserts" in honor of National Dessert Day on October 14.  Fun theme, right?  Can't wait to see all the yummy sweets!  The only requirement besides the theme is that you color with alcohol markers (any brand).

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Buckaroo Blue and the patterned papers are from the Prima En Francais 6x6 pad.  My cute image is Frenchie Claudine from Make it Crafty.  I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her with my Copics.  I added Liquid Applique to the whipped cream and different colored Liquid Pearls to the sprinkles on the ice cream.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is from the When All Else Fails set in Paulette's store here.  A few pearls and a triple-loop satin bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Little Miss Muffet Stamps - New Release

Good morning!  Happy (early) Thursday!  By now you know that I'm probably sleeping when you see this, but I'm here in spirit to share my DT card for Little Miss Muffet Stamps.  It's new release week and you are absolutely going to love the fabulous new Trick or Treat images being released today!  And what's more, there is a brand new exclusive die being released, too!  The new banner die is going to be one you can't do without!  It's perfect for so many projects!  Check out all the new releases in the What's New section of the Little Miss Muffet store!

OK, on to my card.  This one was so fun to create!

My card base and mats are SU Pumpkin Pie and the patterned papers are from last year's K & Co. Kelly Panacci Halloween Collection.  I merged two adorable images from the new release: Agent Cupcake at Halloween and Lil Spook.  I printed the merged image on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored it with my Copics. I added a bunch of Stickles (Crystal, Purple, Lime Green and Orange) to make them sparkle a little.  The cute sentiment is from Create With TLC.  It is part of the Beware Halloween set in Paulette's store here.  Some wide satin ribbon, a few gems and a glittery spider web corner finished off my card.

Live in Abundance

Hi there!  Happy Wednesday!  Were you beginning to think I'd given up my blog?  It's been quite a few days since I was able to post.  I've got a lot going on in my world right now and unfortunately, it's keeping me from my craft room and blog land.  I keep hoping to get back in the groove, but it hasn't happened yet.  I did manage to finish up one card on my desk.  It was made for a few challenges I like to do.  It's for the September/October Challenge at Elisabeth Bell's World (earth tones), Addicted-to-Stamps Challenge #40 (sketch), Basic Grey Challenge #78 (ribbon and lace), Love To Create Challenge #36 (Fall fun/Autumn colors) and Crafts and Me Challenge #105 (anything goes).

Here is Nadell's sketch for the A-T-S challenge:

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Chocolate Chip and the patterned papers are from the Basic Grey Pyrus 6x6 pad.  My adorable Elisabeth Bell image is Apple Bake.  It can be found in the Elisabeth Bell Digital Collection here. I printed her on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored her in earth tones with my Copics.  I added a few dots of yellow Stickles to the flower centers on her apron.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.   A few Wild Orchid Crafts roses, some lace trim and a triple-loop wrinkled ribbon bow finished my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:

Thanks for stopping by!  I truly appreciate your visits!  I'll be by to visit your blogs whenever I can and I'll be back tomorrow with my Little Miss Muffet DT post for the week!

I'll Be There

Hi again!  I know.  First I don't post for days, then I don't stop posting, right?  I had a few projects in the works and managed to finish one up so I came back to share it.  It is for Mo's DP2 Challenge #155 (anything goes with a Mo's), Anything Goes Challenge #77 (animals), Through The Craftroom Door Challenge #38 (anything goes) and Papertake Weekly #83 (anything goes).

Here is my card:

My card base and mats are SU Bermuda Bay and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Six By Six A Mother's Love pad.  You can tell how long this has been on my desk because I was using the sketch from the Anything Goes Challenge #76, which I missed.  Anyway, my adorable Mo's image is Did You Hear.  You can find it in Mo's store here.  I printed it on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored with my Copics.  I added a few polka dots to her top and socks with my Sharpie White Paint Pen.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  A polka dot bow and a few gems from my stash finished my card.

Here is a close-up of Bella and Bronte:

Thanks for stopping by again!  I promise this is it for the day!  Enjoy your evening and weekend and I hope to see you again soon!
