Inky Impressions Challenge

Happy Friday to you! We have another challenge for you over at Inky Impressions Challenges.  Our challenge is to add flowers to our card/project.  Here's what I came up with:

I made a pumpkin basket using my spellbinder oval dies. I thought it would serve as a cute little treat basket for someone. Isn't it darling?  Love this Inky image using sweet Lili with Pumpkin that I picked up from the Inky Impressions store.

Thanks so much to Nicole and Crystal for giving me my first DT experience!

Crazy 4 Challenges #59

October is such a beautiful month with the leaves changing.  Our leaves here in CT are just about starting to turn. In another week or 2 the colors will be amazing! Then rake rake rake... (my back hurts just thinking about it). Well this week at Crazy 4 Challenges we need to create an *Autumn/Fall* card!!!
Here is the easel card that I created:

I had the front door background stamp that I got from Magnolia-licious and my adorable trick or treators are from Whimy Stamps.  These digital images were created by the very talented artist Chrissy Armstrong.  My sentiment is computer generated. Don't you just love that checkerboard border punch?  That is an EK Success punch - LOVE IT!

Here are a few more pics:

I found this haunted house image on the net and used these adorable Meljen images as my trick or treators.  Do you think they'll stop to trick or treat at this house?  I certainly wouldn't - too spoooooky and I'm a big chicken! LOL!  That fun GONE HAUNTING sign is from Raindrop Echo Designs' Halloween sentiments release and can also be found at Whimsy Stamps.

My family and I love watching the Charlie Brown Halloween classic, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."  Don't these guys look just like some of the Peanut's gang?  Just need to add some extra  "eye holes" to one of the ghosts. ;)

Inky Impressions Challenges - Anything Goes

I love "anything goes" challenges and over at Inky Impressions Challenges this week, that is exactly what our challenge is. So today I used Inky's new image called Nickie - the Sweet Witch.

Oh she is sweet isn't she!? Here is a closeup pic:

I used K & Co. papers, that fun bat charm is from Inky Impressions, and the ribbon/gems/and flying bats are from my stash.  I used a spellbinder scallop die and tried to color it with copics and distress inks to make it look like the moon.  I think it worked out, what do you think?
