The Paper Funday Challenge for Sep 2026

Hello and Happy September!  Wow, where has this year gone?  Dare I say there's only 114 days left till Christmas? YIKES!  Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog and we have 2 amazing sponsors:  Brass & Bliss Craft Co. and Lawn Fawn.  The optional twist is a Sketch:

For my team project I was inspired by the optional sketch and used it loosely, along with the Build-An-Owl and Halloween Add-On Die Sets from Brass & Bliss Craft Co.


I've die cut all the pieces for the owl and his vampire costume from colored cardstock, and highlighted using distress inks for depth and dimension.  After piecing him together, foam pads have been added. I've used tiny citron colored gems for his eyes.


The patterned papers are from the "Spooky" 6x6 paper pad by Echo Park.  The sentiments are a combination of a cut apart from the paper pad and a sentiment strip from a Halloween sentiment pack by Simon Says Stamp.  To Finish off, I've added Green Dazzles and Wink of Stella for a bit of spooky sparkle.

The team and I hope you'll play along in the Challenge this month.  We love visiting everyone and seeing your creative designs, not to mention it's the perfect opportunity to share your Autumn inspired makes.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Donna
