SS243 - Have An Ice Day

Hello ~ Hello

Today I am sharing the card I made for Barb's Whipper Snapper Swap. The theme was to use our favorite Whipper Snapper image. I have more than one favorite of course, but this is one of them.
I used the most recent Sweet Sunday Sketch (SS243) for the design element.

MFTWSC Bats About You!

Hello ~ Hello

Today's card is for this week's MFT Sketch challenge. I have been using "Witch Way Is the Candy?" a lot lately. I think it's one of my all-time favorite halloween sets - ever. :)

The pumpkins and bats are stamped with memento tuxedo black ink and colored in with markers. I used the coordinating die-namics to cut the images out (so glad I got these!). The patterned paper is all from Doodlebug Design (Halloween Parade 6X6 pad). I used a spider button from Button It Up. and Black Stitched Ribbon from the Paper Studio.

Halloween Hello

Hello ~ Hello! 

It's the 15th of the month so it's time for a another Duel between the Divas and Darlings. This months hostess for the Divas was yours truly :) Terry is this month's Darling hostess and we went with a Halloween Theme this month which is "Eat, Drink, and Be Scary".

The kit I sent included the following: 

Stamps & Sentiment: Witch Way is the Candy / My favorite things
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey Eerie Collection
Accessories: Recollections die-cut, bling, buttons, candy corn brads, ribbon, Dress it Up buttons 

I had quite a bit of fun with this kit - being the hostess I could pick out one of my favorite sets to use :) I recently purchased some new copic markers (cool greys) so I was super excited to get those out and play. :) my card base is 5.50" square. 

Here is the inside of my card (using one of my favorite MS Punches)

As a additional challenge, we asked the Divas & Darlings to share your favorite treat to receive if you went trick-or-treating as a child. For me, tootsie rolls and Nestle Crunch were my favorites (and I still LOVE tootsie rolls!) 

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
