Dark & Dreary Halloween

I made this card to satisfy two challenges.  One is the Pals Paper Arts challenge, and the other is the Create with Connie & Mary challenge.
Pals Paper Arts provided this sketch: 09-25
Create with Connie & Mary required these colors: CCMC322
The colors screamed Halloween so I used retired Stampin' Up! stamp sets called Dark & Dreary, and All Holidays.  I punched out the images with 1 1/4 inch square punch (also retired).  This is a simple card and didn't take long to create.

October Birthday

Hi, there!  I can't believe that I've not posted in a week.  Time flies when you are busy!
I made this card for my mother-in-law's birthday which is in early October.  I used the hostess stamp set called Bloom with Hope.  The birth flower for October is Calendula so I tried to make this flower look like that.  I stamped the flower in pumpkin pie and the leaves in old olive.  I colored them in using Prismacolor colored pencils.  I hope you can see the yellow highlights in the flowers.  I can't wait to send this off to her!

Birthday on the Open Sea

My card today was inspired by the sketch above from Freshly Made Sketches.
I used The Open Sea and Four You stamp sets.  The colors are marina mist, cajun craze, and very vanilla.
I love clean and simple cards!

Soft Thank You

This card was inspired by the Color Throwdown Challenge.  The colors I used were basic gray, pear pizzazz, marina mist, and soft sky.  I used the flower image from Love and Sympathy, and a thank you image from Another Thank You.  I used the framelits from the Apothecary Accents set and the Ovals Collection set.

Anniversary Wishes

I didn't do a challenge today, instead I am posting a card I made last month.  I made this as an anniversary card for my parents.  I got my inspiration from a card I saw on Pinterest:
  Butterfly trioIt is a card done by Jenni Pauli.  Jenni's card is beautiful, and I was pleased with mine as well.

Love to Laugh








I made this card using the Techno Stamper Sketch Challenge. I used one of the quotes from the Feel Goods stamp set so I turned the sketch ninety degrees.  The colors I used were fall inspired:  Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie.  The dsp was a retired piece that fit my color choice.

I used Pleasant Poppies and Hi, There stamp sets.  I colored the poppies with ink and a blender pen.  The card stock colors I used were Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, and Whisper White.
