Not So Spooky Things

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!  I've been creating Autumn and Halloween cards lately and I have a quick share for you today featuring a cute set that I found while "shopping" my stash.  Can you believe I've never inked it up?  For Shame, For Shame!

I've used the Happy Halloween Clear Stamp Set from Creative Expressions and papers from the Spooky Things paper pad by Simple Stories to create a not-so-spooky Halloween card.

I've colored the images using Copic Alcohol Markers, the images have been fussy cut and popped on foam pads.  The sentiment tag is a cut-out from the paper pad and I've added a but of purple ribbon and staples using the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Tiny Attacher. 

Lastly, I've added Dazzles in the same colors as the polka-dots in the patterned paper. Both images are adorable, but the Wiener Dog has my heart as he/she reminds me of my Stella.

That's all I have for today; I wish you a great weekend and hope you find some crafty time.  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Bugaboo's Humor Me Wednesday: Gus' Golden Years

 Hello and Happy Wednesday which means it's Humor Me Wednesday at Bugaboo's Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.  For my design team project, I created a Birthday card using the Gus Birthday Golden Years digi stamp.

I addition to Humor Me Wednesday, this card also celebrates "No One Eats Alone Day" which is February 12th.  Gus has a large cake so I'm sure he will share with his friends so he won't have to eat alone!

My card measures 5.5" square and the designer papers are from the Simple Stories "Let's Party" 12x12 paper pad.  I kept the card design simple, only adding some doodling and sequins.  

Please visit us at Catch the Bug for some Humorous inspiration and don't forget to enter your makes in the Weekly Challenge every Saturday.  This week the theme is Anything Goes.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

The Paper Funday Challenges - August Challenge

Hello Everyone!  Wow, this summer is flying by and it's time for a new challenge at The Paper Funday Challenges.  This month is another dual themed challenge:  Back to School and/or Camping.

Dear Husband and I love to camp in our Class C RV so I thought a Camping themed project would be right up my alley.  I created a Mini Album which was so much fun to put together.

I used the Simple Stories Cabin Fever Collection as well as a few digital papers for this Mini Album which measures 6"x6".  There are lots of  pockets and flaps to hold many photos.  Our last camping trip was The Florida Keys so I need to get busy filling up the album with those memories.

Please join us this month at The Paper Funday Challenges.  We would love to have you and look forward to being inspired your Back to School and/or Camping projects!

Until Next time, Happy Crafting!
