More Scary Wishes

Well...since the Halloween stamps were still out on my desk it was easy to grab those and use them for my card today. This sketch is this weeks sketch challenge on Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge. I just love finding new sketch challenges to try! I'm almost to my card goal for this year...woohoo! Now to get busy scrappin'. I was still playing with CTMH Stamp of the Month Thriller and my new heat gun so I embossed again. Supplies: CTMH Stamps Thriller, Noted Backgrounds, CTMH CS Creme Brulee, Barn Red, Black, Olivia, CTMH Ink Barn Red, Creme Brulee, Versamark, CB Texture Die Swirls

OOOOhhhhhh Olivia....

Today I opened some NEW Paper I just got --- CTMH Olivia and OOOHhhh yes it is OOOOHhhh SO pretty! I was busy, busy making Halloween cards today but I'm not quite done with September cards. I'll get them in the mail tomorrow and be ready for October and all the fun Halloween stamps I have. I need to get them out and get busy! These colors were from this weeks Colour Q but they were also just perfect as they matched the Olivia paper I wanted to use. The sketch is from this weeks Pals Paper Arts Challenge #61. Fun sketch, I'm sure I'll use it again! Supplies: CTMH Olivia, CTMH Ink Olive, CTMH Stamps Timeless, CTMH Shimmer Brads, CM Leaf Punch, CTMH Creme Brulee Ribbon

Showing Off Spook Alley

I've decided that from now on when I purchase a stamp set I'm going to try my best to use all of the stamps that come with the set. Too many times, I purchase a set for "one" stamp and many are left uninked...what a waste. It is also a helpful challenge to get out of my comfort zone. Today's card for H2H Sketch Challenge was my first step toward my self-challenge. Not sure I would have used these stamps as I bought the CTMH Spook Alley set for the Frankstein I thought was so cute! I used him last week so this week, I decided to use some of the other stamps in the set. The CTMH Hooligans paper is quickly becoming some of my favorite and I'm having a great time with both this set and the paper. Supplies: CTMH Hooligans Paper, CTMH Stamps Spook Alley, CTMH Ink Black, Pacific, Stickles, Misc Ribbon

It's Monday Mojo Time

and I found some tonight to get my card done! Very cute Mojo Monday 157 Sketch today, nice and simple. I love to get out this pack of paper as there's not too many ways to go wrong with basics. Of course it was also time to get out my favorite bird stamp from my CTMH Felicity set as it's been awhile...these are ready to fly. Supplies: CTMH Silhouette CB, CTMH Stamps Felicity, CTMH Ink Desert Sand, Bamboo, Black, CTMH Pearls, CB Swirls Texture Folder, Stickles Diamonds

Another!

Ok, maybe my last post for today unless I finish my Scrap Challenge pages. Weekdays are usually very busy for me and with my computer being sent in for service this week it may just be easier to post if I get done tonight? Oh well, I did get more fun cards done, this one for the Mojo Monday 155 Challenge and it's also another one for the Pals Paper Arts Challenge for this week to do something Halloween inspired! I used another great stamp from the new CTMH September Stamp of the Month Thriller. Supplies: CTMH Sarsaparilla Paper, CTMH Stamps Thriller, CTMH Ink Autumn Terracotta, CTMH Bitty Sparkles, CTMH Black Brads

Already Scary!

Ohhh...

October and Halloween aren't even here yet and already I have some fun cards done for October. I'm not big into the scary side of Halloween but do like all the fun costumes, candy and craziness that goes with it. Sassy LiL Sketches had a fun sketch this week to use and I was thinking Halloween because Pals Paper Arts Challenge this week was all about using Halloween inspiration! I got the color idea from ColourQ Challenge. I thought the colors made a great combination for my scary stamping fun. It wasn't too hard for me to get into this groove as I just received the new CTMH September Stamp of the Month Thriller which had lots of fun stamps to choose from. I'm sure I'll have more from this set! Supplies: CTMH CS Black, Sweet Leaf, Barn Red, CTMH Stamps Thriller, CTMH Ink Cocoa, Sunset, Barn Red, CTMH Designer Ric Rac & Organdy White, CTMH Pearls, CB Houndstooth Texture Die

Thinking of You!

I had lots of Stamp and Scrap time to play this weekend as the boys all had plans. Lots of fun challenges and new CTMH Goodies to use! It was a fun time! This first card is from the Sketch at Christian Paper Crafts Sketch Tuesday . GREAT Sketch by my friend Jenn! The challenge at Cute Card Thursday - A Tweet and A Flutter was to use Birds or Butterflies on your card. Since I just recently used birds, it was time for butterflies. Not to mention that I've seen several pretty ones in my yard lately so it must be the season for them. This is also for the H2H Challenge this week to focus on sentiments. It was perfect timing because I just got this beautiful Stamp Set from CTMH Everlasting Life. Supplies: CTMH Cherry O Creative Basics Paper & Ribbon, CTMH Stamps Everlasting Life, CTMH Ink Tulip, Chocolate, SU! Butterfly Die, CTMH Pearls
