Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge

Here I am with another creation made with my cute Paper Smooches stamps. This one is for the Sparks Challenge at the Paper Smooches Challenge Blog.

This week the challenge was a sketch:

For the background I used The Power Ray die to cut out the snowflake paper. I used the die to make an impression on my white paper, so I could easily glue the cut out snowflake paper in place. I then placed this behind my polaroid die cut. I added the stitched banner and the joyful cut out and then popped up the snowman, bird and pole with foam tape. They were all colored with Copics.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Different Kind of Pumpkin

Well I have never seen a blue pumpkin and I normally like to stick with the traditional orange when it comes to my pumpkins, but when I saw the Curtain Call Challenge, I had to give it a try. I thought all the blue pumpkins that the design team used on their cards looked pretty awesome :)

So here's what I came up with:

And I liked my little blue, well tealish, pumpkin! :) I used lots of different things on this card. One of my favorite things to do is to stamp and cut out lots of things at one time. I keep them in little plastic containers on my desk, so I can grab different things to layer on my cards. Well I grabbed lots of different little pieces for this one and I'll do my best to let you know where everything is from. The pumpkin and the leaf for the flower are from WPlus 9. The stitched die and notebook paper are from Lil Inkers. The flower is from Verve. The message, the scroll work frame, and the larger sunburst thing are from Papertrey Ink, and I believe the tiny flower in the center of the orange flower is from Stampin' Up! Whew! heheh! 

I am also adding this card to the CASology Challenge

Merry Monday #51

It's Friday!! Yay!! 

And I have a card to share for Merry Monday today! I had no trouble getting in the frosty mood to create this card today as it is snowing outside right now and has been since I woke up. It's not much, and there is minor accumulation, but it's pretty outside and I'm cozy inside :)

The challenge this week was the tic tac toe board, which is one of my favorites! I think it's so fun to get to pick and choose. Yeah, I'm easily entertained and amused! Anyway, I chose the line across the bottom, snowflakes, pink and turquoise, and designer paper. I have always loved pink and aqua together , perhaps because I'm from Florida, I don't know, and anything with snowflakes in it I am crazy about. I have more snowflake stamps than any other kind :)

I had a lot of fun playing around with this card. I used the banner builder dies and Snowflake Medley stamps and dies from Papertrey Ink. The little white border is a new and fabulous die that I got from Verve. I really love it because it's small. Most of my border dies are almost too large to use on a card. And the banner is also a new die I got from Verve. I love playing with new stuff! The big snowflake in the background is a Spellbinders die.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Hugs,

Kay :)
