Stamp Something Halloweeney

Its Friday!! Which means another Stamp Something challenge..just another reason to love Fridays! This weeks challenge is Halloween. I pulled out CC designs Halloween Brigitta and played with her for the challenge. Isnt she cute?! Love the spiderwebs on her hat and dress. Ive been spider crazy this Halloween for some reason!LOL! I used Anyone for Anyas color challenge of purple, silver (gray) and white to color up Brigitta and I also added in some olive green for her hair for some two toned hair. I used a lighter shade of purple (Coredinations cs) than I would normally use for Halloween colors but I like how it turned out with the black and silver. The spider web dp is from Echo Park. I used Jenns sfytt for my layout.For the Glitterbabes challenge I added silver stickles to the lines of the embossed spider web. I also added some my sakura clear glaze pen to go over the punched spider, her eyes, her wings, and the spider and web from her hat. I really dont know how I ever lived without this pen!LOL!! I went over the spider webs lines on her hat with the sakura silver pen-another must have for me. Lots of sparkle and shine on this cutie! Now go check out the other Halloween creations here.

Get a Hobby

Well I was a bartender for about 10 years and now Im a guest bar-tender!LOL! Today I get to play along with the bartenders at Raise the Bar challenge. The challenge today is get a hobby. I just had to use this adorable Susie with pie image from Stamping Bazaar. I know I say this often but I just love when a card just comes together so easily. I went looking through my stamps and digi images looking for a hobby image and found this image and remebered there was a sheet of dp from the Recollections fall stack with pie on it. I dont know what Im going to do when I run out of this dp!! Its hard to see in the pic but the dp has "my oh my I love pie" on it!LOL! I used the sweet Sunday sketch for my layout. The layout was perfect for the large image. I even found some Recollections fall pearls in my stash that matched the dp. I sponged all the edges of the dp and around the image while it was still in the nesties with Antique linen. Check out the bartenders and other guest bartenders creations here. Thanks again Joni for letting me play along! BTW..Susie is colored with all the e50's copics the lighter 3 on her face and 5-9 for her body. Have a great day! I know I will today is the start of our fall break. Im so looking forward to 4 days off!!

Honey is also pulling double duty today because its Friday and that means another Stamp Something challenge! This week we are getting punchy!

Keeping with my promise to myself about playing in more challenges Im also entering this card in The Pink Elephant childhood challenge. I added LOTS of sparkle and shine for the Spoonful of Sugar challenge.

Okay now onto deets about the card. I colored Honey with copics and added some polka dots to her witch hat and skirt using my black copics marker. I added some copper stickles to her hair. My Sister and I ALWAYS had to add glitter to our hair whatever our costume was!LOL! And good grief does that stuff ever stink!LOL! I went over her eyes, lips, the spider and web, and the cats eyes and nose with the Sakura clear glaze pen(dont know how I ever lived without this!LOL!)

Fall Pyrus Brigitta

Hello! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend b/c I did! I had a blast with my daughter and her friends on a Girls Inc. field trip Saturday (a Disney on Ice Princess wishes show) and yesterday we had a nice relaxing day... AND I got a chance to make a card.

I got this Basic Grey Pyrus dp in my happy mail from Die cuts r us and paired it with CC designs Fall Brigitta. I LOVE this pyrus dp but I will admit I had a hard time with the colors on it. Dont really know why I just did. I had so many markers out on my desk I couldnt begin to tell you what colors I used where..except for the hair. I do LOVEY how her hair turned out! Its a color combo from the wonderful Amys blog-yr21, yr12, yr15, and e99.

I used the Friday sketchers challenge for my layout. I added some sparkle to her wings for the Basic Grey sparkle challenge. This weeks Raise the Bar challenge is FALL. Flower, At least 2 ribbons, and Lots of Leaves. Finally this weeks Pile it on challenge is cute and charming and I think this image definetly fits that! 4 challenges! Woo hoo! Thats good for me!LOL! Im usually doing good to get in one but I do sooo miss playing in challenges so Im trying to get back to playing in them and 4 is a good number to start with. Now Im off to comment on all my blogging friends creations b/c yes I have been a slacker blogger friend again. Im hiding my face in shame over here!LOL! Have a good one!

ETA: Looks like I was late for the Pile it on challenge so it was just have to be 3 challenges.

Celebrate Something

Ccceellebrate good times...come on!! Its a Celebration!LOL! Sorry couldnt resist a little Kool and the Gang this morning. So now that I have that song totally stuck in your head for the rest of the day onto the challenge...

Todays SS challenge is of course celebrate. I used this adorable Sweet and Sassy image Cocoas gift. Isnt he so cute peeking out the box?! I need to get started on my Christmas cards so I went with that but you can use the image for bdays also. I pulled out some retired SU dp that I only have a very few pieces left...GASP!! This is my FAVE SU holiday dp and I thought it went great with Cocoa. I also pulled out some of those snowflakes and added it to my button/bow treatment.

Sweet and Sassy is sponsoring this weeks Stamp Something challenge so I decided to use their Sweet Stop sketch for my layout. I always love these sketches! My sentiment is from an H&M set that I cant remember the name of but it was perfect for the challenge. So pull out your occasion stamps and join in on our celebration this week at the Stamp Something challenge blog!
