The pumpkins were cut from Mini Monsters at 1.5"

This to That Challenge Day~ Twisted Easel Card

Good Morning Everyone!
It is time for another This to That Challenge over at Cher's Studio featuring The Digi Bistro DT.
This weeks challenge is all about
The Twisted Easel Card :)

I am a big fan of making these cards, have even posted a picture tutorial on making this very easy card.
You can see that post here.

Cher has been very busy working on some new files and in celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness month we are previewing her new files.

Here is my card for this challenge~~
This is my A2 card closed
And here it is open
Isn't Cher's files just too cute....they are the bear and the ribbon :)

For my card I made a white base and used Making Memories DP~ Think Pink
The sentiments are from My Pink Stamper~Pink alicious Stamp set.
I did add some pink ink around the ribbon and frame
as well as brown ink to the bear
He also has some white doodles just for alittle extra.
The ribbon is from my stash that I ruffled and attached using glue dots.

So your challenge is to make a Twisted Easel Card using any files or cuts you like.
Don't have any The Digi Bistro files?~ now would be a GREAT time to head over and pick up one or two. Since Halloween is right around the corner there are some great ones!!
Then head over to Cher's Studio and link up!

I am also entering this into the following Challenges:

I love Stamps!

Happy Sunday Everyone!!
I hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Last night we had a girls night~ ate TONS of junk...watched Bridesmaids and laughed and laughed!
The movie was so funny...the company was awesome and the food....way too much :)
It was so nice to get together without the kids (this is our usual group...all the kids are great friends) and have some adult time!

I was able to get some crafting time in this morning before we are heading over to another friends house to celebrate her end of treatment and Cancer Free diagnosis!!

Here is my card for today.....
I am sure all my faithful followers know that I do indeed LOVE Stamps....especially digital ones and I am a BIG Bugaboo fan so yesterday when this stamp was given as a freebie I knew I would be using it as soon as I could :)
This card came together with several challenges in mind.

Another Christmas Card~ Clean and Simple

Another Christmas Card!
Yippee!!
I was looking at some scrap laying on my floor and this idea just came to me :)
I cut the tree's out of my paper and attached them to my A2 sized card for a clean and simple card.
The sentiment is one I picked up from the Dollar Bin last year either at Michael's or Joannes.
Not sure if the picture shows this but the paper is glittery which gives this a nice look.
The paper is from My Mind's Eye~Christmas Tree Stack.

Hope you like this :)
