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 :)

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 wonderful digital images from our sponsor this week!

Owl trick or treat block

I've been looking everywhere for a cute owl decoration and I just couldn't find one I really liked, so I decided to make one! I saw these cool glass blocks over in the Christmas decor section and I went with a fall theme instead. I used the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cart for the great leaves and then the Happy Haunting cart for the awesome owl and the sentiment. I inked the branch with vintage photo distress ink and used some lavender stickles for the ears and center of the owl. I did the sentiment with vinyl and cardstock for the rest of the design. It was a fun project!

These blocks are hollowed out so you can make them into banks, put lights inside, whatever you can think of. So even though you can't see it that well in the picture, I have some lights behind this one. I think I need more lights! :) I love this ribbon too with the sparkly copper swirls, it just feels so festive!

Here are some challenges that inspired me:

My Craft Spot - fall leaves
Cooking with Cricut - colors of autumn
The Paper Variety - home decor
Penny's Paper Crafty - fall theme
More than Favors - fall theme
Simon Says Stamp - dies to die for
Whimsical Wednesday - fall colors with handmade embellishment

Have a great day!
