Unidentified Image Swap October 2014

Hello ~ Hello

Today I am sharing my card for the latest Unidentified Image Swap on SCS. There are about 15-20 of us ladies that are participating. Every other month, we receive a set of images (all the same) from the hostess. Our hostess this month is Lela and she sent a cute Stampendous Fluffles stamp! I colored it in with copics and used some SU! patterned paper to make a congratulations card. The sentiment is from Gina K Designs.

Do I Cook? Well.....

Hello Hello.....

Our theme for this month's Duel between the Divas is a Recipe Challenge. And that always brings me to think do I even have a recipe? I really don't cook per se. It's one area of domestication I have little experience at. :( However I do have one "true and tested" recipe I use that agrees with my taste buds when I make it. So - I am sharing it this month on my recipe card. It's very simple, partly because I use a pre-boxed pasta salad ~ and just add to it. You can change up the ingredients, for example I have added turkey instead of chicken, and if I have bacon bits or pieces I will add that on top for a little garnish (and flavor). You can also switch up the flavor of the Suddenly Salad (I also like the Bacon Ranch Flavor). 

Anyhow - our hostess this month for the Darlings is Barb, and the Divas is Debbie. I loved Barb's kit she sent! The paper is from Jillibean Soup (such a cute collection!) I didn't end of the images ~ Just couldn't make it work.

MFT Sketch 192

Hello - Hello

got a chance to play along with this week's MFT Sketch challenge - but didn't get it posted in time to enter (oopsie). I used some new stamps this time - I ordered Witch Way Candy with the coordinating die-namics. I think she's super cute :) The patterned paper is from Doodlebug Designs (6X6 Halloween Parade collection). Brads are from basic grey.

On the inside of my card, I added a sentiment, and the pumpkin border punch from Martha Stewart (one of my favorite punches).

Thanks for stoppng by! Hugs ~ LJ

Great Catch

Have another card kit challenge card to share today - this kit came from my friend Carol in Minnesota. And it's another adorable image - this one is from Penny Black.

Dueling Darlings Challenge

Hello Hello 

Today I am sharing my card for this month's Dueling Darlings challenge. Carol and Melina are the hostesses for the divas and dazzlers. 

The theme for this month is "Friends are the Family We Choose for Ourselves. The Divas and Darlings have been together as friends and challenge buddies for the last four years - so we are celebrating our beautiful friendships with each other! 

Carol's package this month was full of purple! :) So I had to go out of my "comfort zone". I chose to use just a sentiment on this card, as I thought the sentiment was so perfect in defining our friendships :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs ~ LJ
