TE Blast From The Past Blog Hop

Hello, here is my card for this month's Taylored Expressions Blog Hop, and this month's theme is Christmas/Holiday. My first stamp set purchased from Taylored Expressions was Home Sweet Home. and it's still one of my favorites. I pulled out my Candy Cane Christmas DSP from the SU! Holiday Mini and used some of the scalloped MFT Die-Namics for a cute border. The Ribbon is also from SU!

Hope you enjoyed my card! thanks for looking!

Duelng Diva's #3

Hello, it's the 15th of the Month which means it's time for Dueling Divas Round #3 ~ welcome! As you can see, this month's hostess Carol (momcgw on SCS) has provided us with an absolutely adorable image and fantastic paper and embellishments to play with month for our "Treasured Friend" theme.

All of the pattern paper, and embellishments were in Carol's card kit. But there's a mystery this month, as the designers had to incorporate their own "treasure" into the card. It also had to be a recycled item. The black tag is my item. It's a tag that was on a pair of jeans I bought 2 months ago.....and check out the embossing below (which was on the tag when I bought it......such a cool pattern...)

I loved that I could just thread this pretty light blue and navy ribbon strands right through the snowflake and through the tag hole and drop it down into the scene! 

Now that we're done here, please go check out the other divas to see what they are up to on this beautiful Fall Friday:

Pumpkin Challenge

Hello All,

This Pumpkin is a challenge for at work of all places. Our division had pumpkins pinned up to the bulletin board in the hall and we were to take one down, decorate it, and put it back on the wall. They all will be voted on by the employees. So this is my entry. I went a little out of the box for mine. I used MFT's Too Cute To Spook stamp set, which just came in the mail last Thursday (perfect timing~). I embossed the tree in black, used my MS fence border punch, and the cute witch is from the MFT set. I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black, colored her in, cut it out, and popped it up with pop dots. I cut the oval hole with Spellbinder's Petite Ovals. This is also self-standing, I created a paper stand for the back of it so it can sit on a shelf.  Another picture is below showing the dimension, thanks for looking!

Denami Designs Sketch Challenge #4

Here's my entry for the current Denami Sketch Challenge. I got this cute little chickie and barn stamp at Summer CHA. They are two separate stamps, I did some masking to get the chickie image in front of the barn. I altered the sketch just a "smidge" so I could get some pretty felt ribbon on the card.

Hope you enjoy, have a great Thursday evening! Happy Fall!
