It's Tuesday! Time for Another This to That Challenge!!

Good Morning Everyone!!

It is Tuesday so you know what that means?!?! Another Challenge over at Cher's Studio 

featuring The Digi Bistro.

This weeks challenge is to create a

Fall Scene

All The Digi Bistro DT girls are showing sneaks of the new Autumn Harvest Set

Here is my card...what do you think?

For my card I started with a Kraft Card base~A2 size

The DP is from My Mind's Eye~Mischievous Paper Pack

(I just have to add that I LOVE this paper pack...so much so I almost didn't want to cut into it....anyone have paper they love like that?)

Back to the details..... :)

The cuts from the new files are the

Tree which was cut at 4.5"

(embossed with Divine Swirl)

Scarecrow which was cut at 3.7"

(I added PKS~ Simple Sallies for the face)

The pumpkin which was cut at 1.5"

Those adorable leaves which were cut at .75"

and

The Fence (which is from The Halloween Town Set) cut at 1.5"

and

The frame is from The Stylish Edges set cut at 3.75"

I inked all the edges with my pigment ink from Inkadinkado and ColorBox

Added some white gel pen doodles on the leaves

The sentiment is from My Craft Spot~Happy Fall Stamp Set.

Now it is your time to create a Fall Scene card and link it up over at Cher's Studio

You do not have to use a file from The Digi Bistro but I would love it if you headed over to the store and picked up a file...they really are awesome!

Be creative and have fun!!

CDAC Bugaboo "Boo" Challenge Card and A Winner

Morning everyone!

I hope you all had a GREAT weekend!

It was beautiful here and will be for the next few days..unfortunately I have 2 sick kiddo's so we are off to the doctor's :( My oldest is set to have his tonsils and adenoids out in 3 weeks and I think he has strep now so we need him sick free so they can do the surgery! This is an ongoing battle with him this time of year so I am hoping that after the surgery we can be strep free!

Anyways I have a card to share that I am entering over at CDAC

This weeks Challenge was a Sketch Challenge

This is the Sketch

and

Here is my take on it.

I used Bugaboo's Halloween Skelekinz~Sitter

and colored her with my copics

The DP is from Echo Park

Like that Crinkle Ribbon? It's from 3Girl Jam!

(Just an FYI~ this Wed I am participating in the 3 Girl Jam Blog hop to showcase and share Julie's new shop...make sure to come back and check it out! Lots of her crinkle ribbon being given away!!)

So the Crinkle ribbon is Harvest Orange

Keep Out~ Spider Halloween Gift Box

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

It has been BEAUTIFUL here....mid to high 70's everyday...LOVE IT!

Except I have a sick kiddo here so we have been taking it easy which just means more crafting time for me :)

I have a Halloween treat box to share to enter over at Happy Life Crafty Wife

I used the free cut file from Lori Whitlock

The paper is DCWV~ The Ghost and Goblins Stack

For my spider I punched a 2 inch circle and used black Honeycomb from Inky Antics.

Here you can see more of the spider.

His legs were cut strips of scrap black paper that I accordion folded.

I did add some fuzzy stuff to give the spider legs a more spooky and realistic look.

The eyes are homemade skittles

I used my Martha Stewart border punch for the drippy goo.

The "Keep Out" is from also from DCWV The Ghost and Goblin Stack.

I attached that with some orange eyelets from my stash.

Halloween Treat Boxes Blog Hop!

Good Morning Everyone!!

It is time for the Halloween Treat Boxes Blog Hop hosted by Sylvia over at Bella Scrapbook Designs.

If you came from Julie's Blog you are right on track...If you want to start from the beginning head back over to Sylvia's  because you will not want to miss any of the amazing Halloween inspired projects being shared today.

I made 2 projects today because I just LOVE this time of year....all the fall colors...the yummy treats and the excitement the kids share in Halloween :)

For my first project I made a Test Tube Candy Holder.

I found and downloaded the file for this over at Happy Life Happy Wife

I just fell in love with Tamara's project that I wanted make one also...with my own Twist :)

All the cut files are from The Digi Bistro~ a new SVG Cut file store owned by Cher.

She has awesome files that I just LOVE designing with each week! (Yes..I am a DT member with a fab group of 7 other talented ladies)

So all the paper is from DCWV~ The Ghost and Goblin Stack.

The cuts are from Halloween Town and Pick your Poison

I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Black Soot for all the pattern paper

Stickles to add bling to the cat.

Goggle eyes for the bat and ghost and alittle white gel pen doodles.

The test tubes I found at my local stamp store and after I had everything done, photographed and all ready to go I realized one has a clear top and the other has a white top :(

I love the way this came out and my kids are fighting over who gets to take this to their teacher!!

Here is my second project

I used the Milk Carton Cut file from The Cutting Cafe

and paper again from DCWV~ The Ghost and Goblins Stack.

I added some clear plastic behind the spider cut so my goodies wouldn't spill out.

The Crinkle Ribbon is from 3 Girl Jam~ I just love the colors (this one is Harvest Orange) and I just placed another order with Julie for more of her ribbon!

I also added some Trendy Twine

and the sentiment is from My Creative Time~ All Around Halloween

The finishing touches are some stickles around the spider and on the spider in the sentiment.

So I hope you like my Halloween Treat Boxes!

I had so much fun making these and sharing them with you!

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!
