Fall into Fall!

Its challenge time again at Pixie Dust Studio! This weeks them is "Fall into Fall", and how perfect are the images from the newest release, "Leaves" ?! I used Fall Pixie for my card today.

She is paired with some really old paper from my stash by EK I think. It was just a scrap :) The sentiment is from Lizzie Anne Designs, flowers are by Prima, and ribbon is again from my stash. The border was hand doodled to match the leaf spray in Pixie's hair.

So join us at the Pixie Dust Studio Challenge blog and play along this week!

I used my leaves die cuts from QuicKutz and a border die from Spellbinders. The Happy Thanksgiving sentiment is by Close to My Heart.

Give me all your candy!!

I thought this saying was very fitting for my house. We will all fight over candy come Halloween night, sneaking it, hiding it, hoarding it. Particularly the Reeses cups. Seems to be my family's fav.

This was a project I whipped up last week for Simply Betty Challenges but got waylaid on my table and never posted. What's new there? If its not a deadline it doesn't always happen, KWIM??

I made little Dracula into a door hanger. The stamp is by Stampendous! called "Give Candy". I paired it with some of the Whooligans paper by Bo Bunny, available in a kit in The Scrappy Chick Boutique. The swirls were hand drawn and I added some Stampendous! Black Pearl glitter to them.

The door hanger was created with a simple 4x4 chipboard coaster. Ribbon is by Bo Bunny, I punched through the chipboard with my Crop-a-dile. The skeleton flower is a Prima from my stash.

This project does fit for this weeks Challenge at the Stampendous! blog...a recipe challenge of black, glitter and ribbon. Go check it out!

AND its the last dy to enter for blog candy at The Scrappy Chick Boutique blog!

Thats it for me today! Davie Football tonight, Marching Band Festival tomorrow! Have a good one

Sweet Baby Challenge

Its time for this weeks Pixie Dust Studio challenge! This weeks theme is "Sweet Baby" And I decided to tweak that just a bit and to make a card for a toddler. I couldn't resist using the image Captain Cash. (He's no longer available but Kathy has been so sweet to do special images for her friends/customers to create cards for special children.)

I colored him with copic markers and then used these gorgeous Prima papers from the Jack and Jill line. I love their papers cause they are so super thick and yummy! My layout for todays card is using this weeks sketch at Friday Sketchers blog.

You have til next Wednesday if you want to play along with the Pixies! As always there is a free digi image for the winner! And be on the lookout, the new "Leaves" collection will start being peeked in just a few days!

Other challenges for this card:

Time for this week's Stampendous! challenge! This week is my turn and I issued a recipe challenge...the color black, some ribbon, and some glitter! October is my absolute favorite month...Halloween, pumpkin muffins, cooler weather, and on and on. So, in honor of October my card for this week's challenge is a bit Halloween inspired. (I think I got a bit carried away adding fun little elements. )

I used Cling Hang Out Spider Set for my focal point. After I stamped her in Memento Black ink I colored her with copics to match my Bo Bunny papers. Then of course she was glittered up a bit! I added Lavender to the edges of my Lady Spider and Green to the band of her witches hat. My sentiment is a Class-a-Peel sticker, the Happy Halloween is off the sheet Spooky Fence and the spider webs and spiders are from the Spider Webs Class-a-Peel sheet.

The papers are all by Bo Bunny from the Whooligans line, and are in in my upcoming scrapbook kit "Beware"...available tomorrow at The Scrappy Chick Boutique! Ribbon and button are from my stash :)

So, why not join us this week for the Stampendous! Sketch Challenge! You have until next Thursday night to link up your project and you could win FREE stamps! Thanks for stopping in today!
