Productive Day

Created this card using a digi set [image and both sentiments] from Beccy's Place named "You're a Hoot" and a wonderful template and tutorial named "Owl in a Hollow Log" [you can find it here- strongstamps.blogspot.com/2014/06/owl-in-hollow-log-card.html] The card went together pretty quickly and I love the way it turned out.

The monthly challenge at Little Scraps of Heaven [LSOH]  is to create a Halloween card. I made a card using LSOH's image named "Little Frank." I used to scrapbook and had made Halloween pages with this haunted house scene. I reduced my template down to A size and used scraps to make this card… oh, and one ghost sticker that is hovering near a 2^nd floor window. The card base is a Double Triangle Fold [tutorial here- splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/doubletrianglefold] The Happy Halloween sentiment is a freebie [ find it here- birdscards.com/teenween-card-first-posted-thursday-october-29-2009]. I created the Eeek sentiment plus moon and bats that serve as the base of the Happy Halloween sentiment. I wanted to make the jack-o-lantern look like it had depth, so I used an exacto knife to cut the eyes, nose and mouth from the card. Then mounted the jack-o-lantern onto a scrap of yellow paper with thick foam tape squares.

One of the current challenges at wecraftcards Forum is to create a card that features brown [plus white, cream and black if needed.] When looking for inspiration, I stumbled upon this wonderful bag that I've had in my stash for many years. I love the way the swirls look against the brown background so just had to upcycle it. I also used two scrapbook tags [one on the front and one inside], brown ribbon, a few diamond rhinestones, and a brown rub-on butterfly. The pretty filigree butterfly on the inside of the card is a sticker, once again, from my scrapbook stash.

One of Simon Says Stamps challenges this week is to create a tag. I attempted to make a mixed media tag using two skeleton leaves that I found at Goodwill a short time ago plus a wonderful freebie sentiment from lovesvg.com. Scraps of scrapbook leaf paper, sheer ribbon in two colors and yellow, rust and gold rhinestones finished the tag with style.
