Halloween Wishes

Hello and Happy Halloween!

I’m so sad I haven’t been able to do much for this holiday this year. I had all sorts of plans to do fun pumpkins and some baking, but alas, the accident has gotten the better of me. Hopefully I’ll start feeling better health-wise so I can do some fun things for Thanksgiving! I have all sorts of ideas running through this brain of mine.

I have one last Halloween card to share with you, and it’s one of my favorites from this year. I just love this ghost image and when you pair it with some washi tape, he is even cuter! Have I mentioned how much I ♥ washi tape? It is my obsession right now. So many fun patterns, so many different uses!

If you are a DeNami fan, be sure to head on over to the DeNami blog for news on savings that are coming in the month of November.  You can stock up on your washi tape, stamps and even get supplies for your Christmas cards or gifts!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. From me to you, I wish you and yours a safe Halloween with your family and friends.

I hope to see you tomorrow for my Thankful Thursday post!

Blossoms & Scallops

I’m stopping in with a quick little post- I just couldn’t pass up the current CAS-ual Fridays challenge! This challenge was to use kraft and as you may have noticed, I’ve been using it a lot in the recent months. I can’t seem to get enough and sneak it in whenever I can!

For my card, I used a recent set I received from Avery Elle called Blossoms & Blooms. This set is amazing and I can’t wait to show you what I have created with it for next week….. *hint hint*

I apologize for the weird scallops in the photo. The way I edit photos makes it so hard to get those scallops the way they are in real life- I promise, they are perfectly scalloped! :) 

I love how easy it is to layer these pretty blossoms. I used three five different images to get this flower- the stem, three blossoms and the flower tip. To top it off, I just couldn’t resist adding a little bit of bling- even CAS cards need a little bling!

I hope you have a great rest of your weekend. Thanks for stopping in!

Stomping By…..

Hello there!

Today I have another card to share with you featuring the current 10 Minute Craft Dash color palette. I remember back {not that long ago} when I was timid to pull out orange onto my cards. Now, I seem to sneak it on whenever I get a chance! Ah, the beauty of transitioning styles and going outside your comfort zone.

In case you haven’t seen the colors, here is what we are featuring in the challenge. If you’re new to the challenge, you can create any sort of crafty item, it just needs to be with these colors and take under 10 minutes to create. {Don’t worry, you can gather your supplies beforehand!} 

And now, here is take 2 of giving these colors a whirl. I couldn’t help but pull out the Elephant for this card. Yes, I realize I pulled him recently out on this card and this card, but he’s just so adorable!

Time it took to create: 7 minutes 3 seconds

There’s a great prize up for grabs and this challenge definitely gives you a little workout. I hope you’ll come join in on the fun and also spread the word. The more, the merrier! :)

You ladies are fab- thank you for all the sweet comments recently. They totally make my day and with my health not being great, they definitely bring smiles to my face.

See you all tomorrow for my Thankful Thursday post. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Thanks For Being You

Hello friends!

I just came from taking a look at the entries in the current 10 Minute Craft Dash. Oh my, I am loving all the beautiful entries and I’m so happy to read you like the colors featured! They are super fun ones! If you haven’t submitted yet, or have only created one item, you still have four days left to enter!

Today I’m sharing a card I created during the World Cardmaking Day {weekend} crafting session I had. Do you remember how I did a Featured Blogger post earlier this month? These stamps are from Dawn’s company, WPlus9 Design Studio! For this card, I used Very Vintage Greetings.

This color combination is unique for me, but I really like it! It is the essence of Autumn and goes perfectly with all the apple cider I’ve been drinking recently. :)

How have you all been doing? Since I haven’t been doing well health wise, I feel pretty disconnected and haven’t had a chance to hop around blogs as much as usual. If you’ve created something recently, or done a blog post in the last day or two, feel free to post links so I can check them out!

Big hugs to you all…..

Scallop Circle Flowers

Hi there, blog friends!

I thought I would pop in today with a card I made for one of my blog friends. This gal is an amazing card maker and I’ll admit, I always get intimidated when I send cards to my crafty friends. I tried to create something that fit her style and I think I was able to accomplish that.

You know how much I love my bright colors, but I have noticed that I’m starting to develop a love for pastel and muted colors as well. I suppose I’m really starting to enjoy the whole realm of colors….okay, maybe not neons, but maybe I’ll conquer those someday.

For my “flowers” I used the Scallop Circle, which I’ve done in the past. I wanted to change it up a little bit, so I punched out circles with patterned paper and then used a raised sticker to give it more dimension. I’ll be honest, this is my first time doing this, but I know it won’t be my last! It has such a great result and really makes the centers shine.

Do you have any fun plans this weekend? Last night I went to a concert, and I also have one tonight. Yay for fun weekends! I’m so thankful for friends who are willing to drive me so I can still enjoy these fun occasions.  :)

Talk with you all later…..
