Madame Tussauds

 I've got a new challenge up at Cookin' Up Creations today. This month's theme is Paper Pad Bashing. We each picked out one of our paper pads and will be using it all month long in hopes of bashing the pad. I hope you'll stop by and play along.....come on....we all know we have paper pads lying around that we need to use.

Today's challenge is a gallery lift. I went back to July and found a great layout by Beth to lift.

Here is Beth's layout

Here is my take on it using the SEI Moravia paper pad

This was a great layout to lift! I was able to use up lots of leftover scraps from my paper pad along with 2 whole sheets of 12x12 papers from it and the colors were just perfect for this photo of my granddaughters with Lady Gaga at Madame Tussuads.

Candy Time

 We've got a new card sketch up today at Atlantic Hearts Sketches.

I decided to make a Halloween card for my youngest granddaughter. She is afraid of just about everything so this was a perfect sketch for her Halloween card. I sure hope it's not too scary for her!

Here's this weeks sketch

Pool Time

 We've got a new sketch up today over at Sketches in Thyme. Come play along with us!

Here's the sketch

This was a fun yet difficult challenge for me. I have such a hard time finding photos that I can cut into circles. I know I could've used square photos but I really liked the look of the circle photos. The sun and the title were cut with my Cricut. I even managed to use up a strip of enamel dots left over from a card kit I've had for a while now.

Creepy

 It's that time of year for ghosts and goblins! I've got a card up today over at Atlantic Hearts Sketches and I decided I needed to make a Halloween card. 

Here's this weeks sketch

I cut the window out on my Cricut and then added some vellum behind the window panes. I took some yellow/orange cardstock and stamped the skeletons on it and placed that behind the window panes as well. Once I got it all glued together I was sorry I didn't stamp more skeletons so I decided to add the ghost sticker along with the creepy banner.

Pumpkin Spice

 I've got a new challenge up today over at Cookin' Up Creations. This month our theme is Paper Pad Bashing. We've all got a nice supply of paper pads we've just had to have over the years but have you ever used one up? I know I haven't! So this month we're trying to use up one whole pad. At the beginning of the month we all picked one paper pad and we will use it all month in every challenge we complete. It was hard to pick just one but I finally settled on an old one from SEI called Moravia. It's mostly fall colors which is my favorite time of year so it should be easy to make a big dent in it or perhaps use it up.

Here's my layout

Here's the layout I found at Scrapbook.com to lift.

I started by die cutting and punching the leaves from watercolor paper and then painted them in fall colors. I also fussy cut the leaves closest to the flower from a piece of the SEI paper. I used both a solid orange paper and a striped foil paper from the paper pad. I punched the two cream colored strips and added the glass mosaics and sentiment card.

World Card Making Day 2020

 It's World Card Making Day and we're celebrating over at Cookin' Up Creations. We've got a bunch of fun challenges and prizes too! New challenges will be posted every 2 hours and you have til 12pm est on Monday, October 5th to enter. I hope you'll stop by and play along. 

For my challenge I decided to try a slim line card that seems to be all the rage lately. They're great for building scenes with your stamps and die cuts. 

I even made an envelope although the card would fit in a standard business size envelope.

Hope to see you at Cookin' Up Creations for some World Cardmaking Day fun!!
