MMSC25 and PURPLE

Butterflies and purple may not say Halloween but I finished this card up this morning!! I used this week's sketch from the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge (#25) and the Purple color challenge for Paper Popsicles. The image is actually a spray painted butterfly sticker created by an artist who calls herself No ID. I think her work is beautiful and, for the most part, girly! Just right for the purple card I created. The paper is Creative Memories. I colored my silver metal accents with my purple copic to match the card. The ribbon is the one and only purple ribbon in my stash!!! Let me know if you like it!

Stamp, Scrap & Doodle- Anything But a Card

Happy Halloween everyone! Today my little one will become Hannah Montannah and bring home lots of candy!



This week's challenge at Stamp, Scrap & Doodle is to create anything but a card. How easy is that! Here's your chance to do something on your to-do list and link it up for a chance to win 3 files of your choice from the CUTTING CAFE. I was so thrilled to learn that CC was our sponsor this week. I just love Regina's stuff! So much fun!

For the challenge this week I created these little gift boxes, using Angie Kennedy's tutorial for blessing boxes as my inspiration. The papers I used are from Pebbles Inc. and the Paper Studio. I added ribbon and bling from my stash. The Happy Halloween tags came from the Cutting Cafe. Aren't they just the right touch? My DD took these little boxes to school for her teachers. I hope they enjoyed it. I hope you do too. Check out what the other DT members came up. I hope you are inspired to create something and share with us!!!

Stamp, Scrap, & Doodle Week 11

Good Morning! I am so excited this morning because, well, first, it has stopped raining!!! Second, FALL has made an appearance in Alabama! It is nice and cool outside AND the sun is up AND I can see it!!!! With this wonderful weather comes a perfect inspiration photo for you at Stamp, Scrap, & Doodle this week. The challenge is to create ANYTHING inspired by this picture:


This week our Guest Designer is also our sponsor!! How exciting is that! Sue McMahon of McMahon Five Designs is joining us this week and she is offering up free digis for the random winner this week! Here's what I came up with using one of Sue's digis.



I used Creative Memories paper and colored the image with Copics. I had silver brads and those just wouldn't work. So, I colored my silver brads with my brown copic marker and got these lovely brass colored brads!

Come on over and play with us at Stamp, Scrap, & Doodle this week! We're excited to see what you create! And remember, you don't have to be a card maker! You can create anything your heart desires that is inpired by the photo above! Have fun!

Two In One

This card was created for two different challenges in mind. First, the color fits this weeks monochromatic challenge at the Cuttlebug Spot. I am so into the fall colors right now and what other color says fall like orange! Secondly, I used this week's sketch from MojoMonday (#108). The cardstock is from my stash and the patterned paper is CM. TFL!

And sweet Oliver

Did you get Oliver?!? He was offered as a freebie last Friday on the Paper Popsicles Blog. He is such a cutie! Here's a card I created with this little guy. BTW, Paper Popsicles has a freebie every Friday for the month of October. But, you have to get it on Friday or it will be gone! I am submitting this card for the Monday Madness Show N Tell on the blog.



3X3 Cards and Box

World Card Making Day came and went at my house with no scrappy time. However, through all of the inspiration of my wonderful cyber scrapping sisters I found so many awesome ideas to try! One of those ideas came from Lynda at Paper Popsicles. On the message board she gave us directions to make this cute little box filled with 8 3x3 cards. It is such a cute project and it was really easy to put together. Of course, scrap-copying made it that much easier. It was just too cute not to replicate (especially since I had the same kit)!!!
