Sweater Weather ....

Just a super quick and cute card to share with you today! I must apologize for the thumb in the photo. Unfortunately, this is the only photo I had of this one. Anyway....I created this journal card for a sweater weather card swap I am in. I really like how it came out. I just randomly found some supplies and challenged myself to use them. 

I cut the leaf from Art Philosophy and the journal background from Artiste. I used some Saffron, Sunset, and Dessert Sand inks, some retired twine and bling from Recollections. 

Happy Scrapping,

 

Playing along at Sketches in Thyme!

Happy Monday! I am so excited to have  some time this weekend to play in my room! I got some PL swaps all finished up and packaged and I got to create this super fun Halloween page with a photo from 2008!!!

I used all Nevermore papers on this one along with the number 9 key on the Artiste cartridge. Scattered some silver sequins and some complements and this one is finished! 

I really enjoyed using Bev Code's Sketch #169 over at Sketches in Thyme....

Hop on over and play along with us this month!

Ghouls Night Out ....

Happy Sunday! I am sharing two cards that I made this morning for an online crop I attended last night....Ghouls Night Out! Wow, such blast, games, challenges, prizes, fun friendship...no better way to spend a Saturday nigh! 

This card is a 4X6 and was based on a spooky graveyard story told. Our card just had to be inspired by the story. Love how this came out!

Welcome to the .....

 If you are coming from Kristine's Merry Heart Creations, you are in the right place. If not, don't worry, I have the complete list for you at the very end of my post. 

Today, this wonderful little Stamp of the Month set, Twinkle is being featured!

 I wanted to push myself to create something different with this set. So, I chose to use embossing powders and some delicious gold powder on the fundamentals eggplant paper to create these pocket pages. I must say.... I love how they turned out!

Look how pretty.....the gold and eggplant...

 I cut this one using the Artistry cartridge then embossed. The stars are using first and second generation stamping. The gold shimmer trim is a perfect embellishment!

 I absolutely love the embossing on this one!!!!
