Too Cute To Spook


Hello Hello

Our Dueling Darlings Challenge this month comes from Melina & is to use an animal and a button. I need a few halloween cards, so I used this opportunity to get one made using an image from Stampendous and sentiment from MFT. I also used the latest Deconstructed Sketch below:

Unidentified Image Swap


Hello Hello!

Every other month I participate in an "Unidentified Image" swap on SCS. Terry was our hostess this month and sent us cute images from My Favorite Things. I had a fun time coloring in this one. :) The sentiment is from another MFT set of my own,.. I thought it would work perfect with the image.

The patterned paper is from Stampin Up!, Ribbon is from PTI.

Thanks for stopping by!

Riley Challenge


Hello ~

Thought I would play along with the latest Riley & Co Challenge, which is to use orange in your card. I used the adorable Campfire Riley and some SU! patterned paper that was in myt scrap stash. The button is from Grey and I also used my MFT Die-namic Fish Tail stax. I totally love this die set. It's one of my favorites!

Thanks for stopping by!

Witchy Girl


Hello Hello ~

I was too tired to post this last night when I finished it, but I knew I had to post this one tonight because this Little Witch PI image from MFT is so stinkin' cute! 


I created this card for MFTWSC90 (sketch) and this week's Twisted Tuesday Challenge, which was to include something on your card that can fly. I have no idea if this little girl can fly, but she does have a broom to try to fly.....Maybe you will see her flying around her neighborhood late next month. :)

Here is the inside of my card. I used patterned paper from Basic Grey (Eerie 6X6 pad) on both the outside and inside of my card. 



Here's the sketch for the challenge:

School Girl


I have another card to share tonight. I created this for a MFT Sketch Challenge a few weeks ago and never got around to posting it in time, so here she is now. The color combo is out of my comfort zone I think, but she still looks pretty darn cute in pink :)

I normally do not use flowers like these on my cards, but I saw them at Hobby Lobby when they were 50% Off (Spare Parts) and decided to try them.

Here is the sketch I used. I left of the sentiment tab as I thought it might get too "busy"


Thanks so much for stopping by!

PTI Swap

Hello Hello ~

Hope your Monday has gone well :) Today I am sharing 2 of the 3 swap cards I created recently for a Paper Trey Ink (PTI) Swap on SCS and I'm really excited because I am hostessing the next round! It's been about a year since I hostessed a SCS swap, so I'm really looking forward to it! 

The first card is my square card. I used a sentiment from Beautiful Butterflies. the size of the card is 4.25" X 4.25" square. 


My second card was for the pocket card category.....I used Simple Sunflower. This might be my favorite of the two, because of the fall colors!


I have to check my other camera chip to see if I have a photo of the third card. If I don't have it I will just make another one to show you later :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
