Penny's Halloween challenge

This week at Penny's Paper Challenge, we're celebrating Halloween! We got the chance to use these super cute images from Robyn's Fetish for this week's challenge. I just loved this little mummy boy and the pumpkin. I used Copic markers to color the boy and then I printed the pumpkin out on orange patterned paper, and I loved the way he turned out!

I used liquid glass (aka glossy accents) on the stem and candlelight and it really made them stand out more. I also used vintage photo stickles on the orange brads to give them some sparkle.
Make sure you visit the Penny's Paper Challenge blog and see all the wonderful design team talent and enter your project for a chance to win some great digital images from our sponsor this week!

Have an awesome day!

Penny's Apple Challenge

As a new DT member for Penny's Paper Challenge, I was so excited to do this first challenge! It's Apple month and we're using images from Karen's Doodles. I made an apple on my cricut using the Doodlecharms cart and then flipped one of them and welded them together to make a card. I just love this image of the little girl with the apple, she just looks so happy :)

CTO Red, White, and Black Challenge

For the challenge this week at Celebrate the Occasion, we were challenged to make a project using Red, White, and Black. It was perfect timing because my other cousin is getting married this weekend and those are her colors! I used the swirl embossing folder for this card and then used some star dust stickles to make the swirls stand out a little more.

I used Close to my Heart stamps to create the background image and then I stamped the hearts and popped them up on foam squares. I used red stickles on the swirls and diamonds on the hearts to add some bling.

For this fun 3D flower, I used the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge from Close to my Heart. It creates a spiral and then I stamped the swirl image on it. Then you just roll it into a flower shape and I added the diamond brad to finish it off.

Don't forget to come and join us this week at Celebrate the Occasion for this fun challenge and to check out all the fabulous work from the rest of the awesome Design Team!! All you need to do is create a card, layout or other project and post it by Sunday, October 16th, 11:59pm (EST). The winner will be selected and entered into the drawing for the month!
