Happy 31 of October

I don't think that it's too early to start Halloween cards. I love love the fall colors! For me they are easy to work with. I was amazed at how quickly this card came together. (side note: some people think that black and brown should not go together. I beg to differ. I have black hair and have brown skin. I think that they go nice together and I wanted to show that in my card) I love this cat. It reminded me of some cats I had growing up.

How I did it:

5 1/2 x 4 1/4 base

5 1/4/ x 4 layer

every flower is to bloom

 I did another card using a digi stamp from Designed2delight! (http://designed2delight.com/blog/ )I really love their images. The best part is if you do one every week as apart of the challenge you get a new image the next week instead of catching the free ones once a month. I'm really happy how this card turned out! What do you think? I was thinking baby girl.

How I did it:

Gatefold card

will fit in a2 size evelope

outside image from designed2delight

inside stamp from studio 112

paper from color bok (green polka dot) and from personal stash

white gel pen to do stitching

ek success markers 

pastel chalk pencils

to early for fall?

Over at designed2delight (http://designed2delight.com/blog/) we had to create a card using the pumpkin image that I used. I really like how this card turned out. Lately I haven't been posting much because I've been trying to rediscover my "style". I think this card shows a little bit of it. I think I could of done better but with the materials I have and lack of experience, I think I did pretty good!

How I did it:

base: 4 x 5 1/4

layer 1: 3 3/4 x 5

background on base: stampin up! sweet shapes

orange paper: colorbok

red leaves: stampin up! delightful dots

b: stampin up! big deal alphabet

flourish: stampin up! sweet shapes

scraps

For the Whimsical Wednesday challenge we were supposed to use scraps to make a card. I am proud to say that I used nothing but scraps. (minus the gel pen, buttons, twine, and stamp) I learned how to do this type of card a long time ago and I can't remember who from. But who knew that all of this could turn into...

...This! Isn't it cute?! I used the majority of the scraps on the bottom half. I was thinking "area rug".

my pink stamper challenge

My pink stamper is doing a DT challenge for the next term! We had to do something with orange, green, brown, and turquoise.  I've never done that color combination so it was a challenge for me. So I stepped out of my color combo comfort zone and tried my best. I'm really happy with the results! What do you think?
