CTO Challenge #37


Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Celebrate The Occasion! This week the challenge is FALL and it must include a PUMPKIN.
I cut the pumpkin from Smiley Cards at 3 inches. I always forget about this cart and I just LOVE this pumpkin! I inked all the edges and added a punched leaf to his stem. I stamped the sentiment which is from My Craft Spots Happy Fall set and added a punched leaf to that also. To finish I tied some crinkle ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique.
I hope you all will play along this week and I can't wait to see what you will create! Don't forget to go check out what the rest of the DT has come up with for inspiration at CTO.  Have a great day and thanks for looking!

Happy Halloween!


Happy Halloween everyone! I have a card to show you today that I did with Cindy's Digi Halloween Kitty! I think this is one of the cutest images! I colored it with Copics and cut it out. I mounted it on pop dots and added brads to the frame. I tied a crinkle ribbon and stamped the sentiment. I hope you all will join us for the Blog Hop to welcome Cindy's new challenges called Scraptastic Mondays! So mark your calenders for Nov. 4th at 7 p.m.!

Scrappy Moms Challenge - Doodlecharms


Hello everyone! I did this card to enter into Scrappy Moms Terrific Tuesday Challenge. This time the challenge was to use Doodlecharms.
I cut the reindeer from Doodlecharms at 3 inches. I stamped the eyes with a Peachy Keen face stamp and used a black and white pen for the highlights. The mats were cut from Once Upon A Princess and I hand cut the tag. I stamped the sentiment and added brads to the card. I also used Distress Ink to ink all the edges and added Glossy Accents to the nose.
I hope you all are having a great weekend and thanks for looking!

Scraptastic Mondays!



Hello everyone! I have some exciting news to share!!! I have been asked by Cindy of Cindy's Scraptastic Designs (formerly Cindy's Little Creations)  to be a part of her first Design Team! YAY! I am so very honored that she asked me to be a part of this. She designs the CUTEST digis and will be opening a digi shop and starting up challenges every Monday called Scraptastic Mondays! The challenges will start on Monday November 7th and EVERYONE can play. You can create anything using whatever medium you choose. In other words you do not have to use digi's to play. But I have a feeling that when you see some of the cute things you can do with them, you will want to use them.
For my card I used Cindy's Digi Sweetie Scarecrow and colored it with colored pencils. The pumpkins were cut from Doodlecharms at 1 and 3/4 of an inch. I stamped the sentiment with a stamp from My Craft Spots Happy Fall set and used the Mesh Texture cuttlebug folder for the embossed background. Everything was inked with Vintage Photo Distress ink.
I hope you all will come welcome Scraptastic Mondays and play along with the challenges starting Nov. 7th! Have a great day and thanks for looking!

October 31st




Hello everyone! I have another Halloween card for you today. I just LOVE how this card turned out! I am pretty new to digital stamps and coloring, so this card made me very happy.
The witch digi came from Bugaboo stamps. They have some of the CUTEST digis! I masked off the digi and  stamped the ghost which is from Peachy Keens Halloween Mini set. By masking it, the ghost looks like its in the background. I colored all the images with a combination of Copics and colored pencils. I tore the edges of the white mat and inked all the edges on all the mats and tag with black ink.  I stamped the tag with a sentiment stamp from My Craft Spot's Happy Haunting set and added a spider that was cut at 1 inch from Doodlecharms on a pop dot and a piece of fiber.
I am going to enter this into the Peachy Keen sketch challenge and Getting Cricky's Simple Sunday challenge. SS's challenge is to use the colors Orange, Black and one other color...I chose white.
Have a great day and thanks for looking!

LFIF Windy Challenge





Hello everyone! Here is a fun card that I made to enter into Peachy Keen's LFIF Windy challenge. When I think of skiing, I think of the wind in my face. That is what I used for my inspiration for my card.
I cut the skiing bunny from Winter Frolic and stamped the face with a PK face stamp. The snow hill I cut by hand and stamped the sentiment. I also did some inking around all of the cuts and added a faux stitched line around the card. I punched some snowflakes and circles for the snow and added Stickles to the circle snow pieces.
I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for looking!
