Halloween makeover challenge

This week's Limited Supplies Challenge 135 was to use a Halloween stamp for a non-Halloween card. Sounds easy right? Well, It took me a little longer than I thought it would, but I had a fun time making this card. I couldn't resist using this cute little image from the retired set 'Halloween Hedgehog'. I thought the saying 'You're so thoughtful' was perfect for this image.

Of course I had to use one of my favorite designer papers 'Fall Flowers' for this non-Halloween card!

Remember to leave me a comment on the post below and tell me what your favorite DP is. You could be the next winner of my blog candy giveaway!

Fun & Fast Notes

This week's 'Ways to Use it' #133 challenge was to find ways to use food. Being a SU! Demonstrator, of course I want to try to use only current SU! product. Well I must be food challenged when it comes to my current stamp collection, I had a hard time finding anything food related. I am more of a flower kind of gal according to my stamps! Well as you can see, I did come up with this Birthday Cake from 'Fast & Fun Notes'.

Paper~ Certainly Celery Textured Paper, Bashful Blue, Pixie Pink, Whisper White.

Sketch Challenge - Flaky Friends

I couldn't resist, after the Flaky Friends Tutorial, I had an extra stamped image of my Flaky Friends laying around, so I had to use it for today's sketch challenge #143. It's always good to use up your extra's right? And besides, that made the challenge go a bit faster for me today since I didn't have to ponder on which set I was going to use!

Color Challenge - Mustard Olives

This week's color challenge at SCS was to use More Mustard, Old Olive & Bashful Blue. Yes, that's right, Bashful Blue. I would have never thought that these three colors would work together, but I have seen some awesome cards with these three colors. Check out the gallery to see what I mean.

I had one of those days yesturday, trying to make the colors work. I swear it took me hours to complete this card when it should have only taken minutes. I just hate when that happens! LOL! Oh well ,on to the next challenge.

Happy mail from Beate!

I receive this sweet card in the mail yesterday from Beate. I had sent her one of my Flaky Friends Slider cards and she was so nice to send me a thank you note. I just love how she stamps the faux stitching on her cards. I have tried to use that technique, and mine never look as good as hers!

She also takes great pictures of her art work! I borrowed her photo from her blog! Thanks Beate!
