Creepy Crawly

I started working on a couple of Halloween cards and decided to do one for the Creepy Crawly card challenge at Cards in Envy.

I embossed some Core'dinations Black Magic paper with a spider web embossing folder and then used sandpaper to distress it. The spider was cut with my Cricut. Simple and quick card!

Here's another Christmas card I've made for one of the WCMD challenges at the Turtle Soup Mini Crop. It was simple.....you just had to make a Christmas card.

Such a simple card but I really like it. It was so quick and easy, I made several of them!

Fall Colors

I've got an inspiration challenge up at Turtle Soup today. I wanted to do a fall layout but not using the usual orange colors. I found this mood board on Design Seeds and thought it was perfect.

And here's my layout

This photo was perfect for these fall colors. I got messy with the background using texture paste and mists. The triangles were cut with my cricut and I backed some of them with some old fall papers I had. I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Christmas Cards

We're celebrating World Cardmaking Day over at Turtle Soup so I decided I would get a jump start on my Christmas cards with some of the challenges.

This first one is for a white on white embossed card challenge.

This one is for a die cut challenge.

This 2nd one was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. You can see it here.

So if you're looking for some fun WCMD challenges and games, please stop by Turtle Soup and play along with us! Hope to see you there!

Our Little Cutie

I've got a challenge up today at Turtle Soup. It's a scraplift of one of our members projects.  Here's my take on her layout.

Please come join us at Turtle Soup. Lots of fun challenges and of course this month we are celebrating World Cardmaking Day starting on Saturday, October 3rd through Saturday, October 10th. Hope you can come play along!

Just Me

I've got a stencil challenge up at the Turtle Soup Mini Crop today. The crop runs til Sunday, Sept. 27th so you have plenty of time to play along. We have several challenges going on during our mini crop. Stop by and check it out!

I used 3 different stencils. The one behind the photo is one I've had for a couple of years but couldn't quite figure out how to use it. It finally dawned on me to use it as a frame so I just used ink with it. The butterflies and heart stencils were done using texture paste.

Thanks for stopping by!

Today we are having a DT sketch reveal over at Turtle Soup. Please stop by and see all the different takes on the sketch by our DT.

And here's the sketch:

I love this sketch by our very own Bev Code. These photos are from our trip to Lovers Key in Florida a few years ago.  The beach was practically deserted and these birds were everywhere.

Thanks for stopping by!

Arizona Cactus

We went out to Sedona, AZ back in 2008 and saw some of the strangest looking cactus. On our way from Sedona to Phoenix we just had to stop and take some pictures.

I kept this one simple also, really hate to distract from the photos. I just double matted the photos, added some stickers and some journaling.

This is also for the Botany themed challenge at the Turtle Soup Mini Crop.

Happy Scrapping!

Silica Dome

Here's a layout about our trip to Las Vegas back in 2007. We had such a good time when we headed out to the desert. We enjoyed that much more than being on the strip!

These rock formations were just amazing so I didn't want the lo to be too busy. I just used some texture paste and a stencil and then did some light smooching on top of it.

This is also for the travel challenge over at the Turtle Soup Mini Crop.
