More Halloween Fun

Hi Friends

Thought I’d share another Halloween card today.

This post is going to be brief, I’m not feeing too great or chatty.  But I do hope you enjoy the card.

I’ve used Lawn Fawn’s Happy Haunting stamp set which is just so fun for Halloween.  Today, I used more traditional Halloween colors.

I thought I’d enter this into a couple of challenges that it qualifies for:  Lily Pads challenge which is a sketch challenge and this is the sketch:

And I thought I’d submit it for the current Wee Memories challenge which is a “free-for-all.”

Thanks for stopping by friends

Happy Haunting

Hi Friends! 

I hope your week has gotten off to a great start. 

My week is shaping up to be quite busy, and I’m not sure I’ll be able to spend too much time in the craft room at night (boo).  But most of the stuff I have going on is fun, so I cannot complain too much.

I thought I’d share a Halloween card today since it’s the season right now.

Again, I made this for a sketch challenge a couple of weeks ago and didn’t get it posted in time. Oh well, I have a Halloween card made to send out.

I used the super fun My Mind’s Eye paper (Mischievous) with Lawn Fawn’s Happy Haunting.

Thanks for stopping in today!

Halloween paper-piecing

Hi Friends,

I hope you’re having a great week. It’s pretty dreary and rainy here in Indianapolis, but it happens. 

Today, I wanted to share a Halloween card that I’m entering into the current Wee Memories challenge which is to make a holiday themed project, any holiday. So here’s my project:

All of the images on this card are paper-pieced.  (This card would qualify for the current Lawnscaping challenge featuring the paper-piecing technique).  I used Lawn Fawn’s  Happy Haunting with My Mind’s Eye “Mischievous” paper.  I did darken some of the house with my Copics, but other than that, it’s all paper-pieced, including the ghosts!  (Notice that the house has multiple papers paper-pieced onto it to create the look)

I hope you like. Thanks for stopping in today.

Hugs and blessings

Lawnscaping Challenge

Hi Friends,

I hope you had a great weekend.  It’s time for another Lawnscaping challenge.  It’s another good one, paper-piecing.  Lawn Fawn is our awesome sponsor for this fun challenge.

I love paper-piecing, and Lawn Fawn stamps are perfect for that.  I decided to go with one of the first Lawn Fawn sets, Sew Lovely.

I used some My Mind’s Eye paper. As you know, I love their patterned paper. I added some died seem binding and a couple roses to complete the look.

Be sure to head to the Lawnscaping blog to check out the rest of the design team’s projects.  I hope you will play along with us for this fun challenge. I can’t wait to see your creations.

Hugs and blessings

CPS Sketch Challenge

Hi Friends

Happy Friday!  Anyone have any big weekend plans?  We are going to see “Real Steel” tonight with my brother and nephew.  I have to admit when I saw the previews I thought it was Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots comes to the big screen.  And I thought it looked bad. Well, then my brother and nephew asked us to go.  We read some of the reviews, and it’s gotten fairly decent reviews.  Now, don’t get me wrong, I have very low expectations, but we are going to give it a chance.  I’d love to hear what you have planned for the weekend?

Now, onto paper-crafting… I don’t know about you, but I struggle, and I mean STRUGGLE with coming up with layouts for my cards.  Last night, I decided to check out the CPS sketch challenge.  And that is what I used to create this card:

As I said yesterday, I need birthday cards, so I came up with this. I used Lawn Fawn’s Bake me a Cake set which is my go-to birthday set.  I also combined it with some Jillibean Soup patterned paper. 

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend!

October Birthdays

Hi Friends

I hope you’re having a great week and enjoyed the Lawn Fawn Inspiration week.

October is a busy month for birthdays, so I’ve been busy making birthday cards (some of which have already been shared).  Today, I thought I’d share a birthday card I made for my brother who turned 40 on Monday.

The Lawn Fawn Bon Voyage set is perfect for him because he’s an airplaine mechanic.

Hope you have a great day!

Lawn Fawn “My Cup of Tea”

Hi Friends

I hope you’ve enjoyed the Lawn Fawn Inspiration week.  Today is the last day, and we’ve saved a fun little set for last.  We are featuring “My Cup of Tea” today.  It is a mini set full of cute images.  Here’s what I came up with using the set:

I decided to put it with some lovely My Mind’s Eye paper (Gertie).  I played off the colors in the paper.  I added a small bow from jute and a customized pearl (colored with a Copic to coordinate).

Remember to head over the Lawn Fawn blog to see the projects the design team came up with.  Of course, there are giveaways, so you won’t want to miss that.

Be sure to check out the last day of the Just Keep Swimming Blog hop. I have a post here.  There are tons of designers involved and some great prizes. The most important thing is that the hop is set up to raise money for a family struggling with cancer.  One thing that has always impressed me with the paper-crafting community is the generousity. 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a blessed day
