Halloween Witch

I purchased the stamp set from GinaK - Feel the Magic.  What a fun stamp set.  I pulled out some ribbon that was stored away.

Lollipops

Quick photo.  I am a bit tired this afternoon.  Going to take a nap.  
I am trying to get more comfortable with sponging.

I believe the paper so from Basic Grey and stamp is Unity.

Shades of Red

The Gina K  current color challenge :
Any shade of RED (Rocket Red, Bravo Burgundy or Rose Red, or pinks)
Soft Sand (or Kraft)
Chocolate Kiss
Cream or white

The paper is from Graphic 45. Paper Maniac carries the line here.   I really like Graphic 45 and the paper addiction has begun again.

Haunting Sweet and FWF

Well I was able to do the FWF from Unity and the weekly theme of Paper Maniac in one shot.  The theme this week at Paper Maniac is Halloween.  I purchase the Haunting Sweet stamps from Unity thru Paper Maniac.  I really like this set.   Of course I had to get some candy corn.  I think I am addicted to these.

Pie A Mode

It is Unity Addicts Wednesday.  I am trying to do some of the sketch challenges consistently.  Here is the sketch challenge from Mojo Mondays.  I am also using more pattern paper.  I have not inked up the pie from the Unity's Hodge Podge of Happiness so this what my chance.

 

Rain Rain Go Away....

Well it has been raining here for about a week and I must say I miss the sun.  The flip side it is great crafting weather.  Here is what I have made this weekend.  I am working on my sponging technique.

Here is the sketch from Sketch Saturday.

I used the digital paper from GinaK.  I will really like digital paper. :)

It's Back!!! Unity Addicts Challenge

Hooray, the Unity Addicts challenge is back.  Our first challenge is a holiday card that uses red, blue, pink, and kraft paper.  I admit that was very challenging and I don't have a lot Unity Christians stamp.   This is also card #2 in the Ladies, Ink current challenge.

See what I have come up with...

I used my bow easy to make the bows and I found some clips that were very old but Christmas.  They are in photo 2.

It's a Red Day

I was checking the sketch challenges that I know it and decided to use Mojo Monday.  I had the perfect paper and perfect stamp - Memory Box and Unity.  If I do this again I think I will layer it.

Cherries on Top and Friends w/Flair Fridays - Unity Style

The theme for the DT of Paper Maniac was RIBBON!  I was trying to do something different with the ribbon.  I remember that this technique was on SplitCoastStampers Ribbon Frame.   I love how I was able to find some ribbon that had cherries in it.  Check out the ribbon selection over at Paper Maniac and she is having a SALE as well.  Don't forget to sign up for the newsletter because it has something special.

Three Ghosts of the Day

I am getting ready for the season.  Yesterday I got the stamp from The Great Impression.  It is so cute. 

I found more embellishments and paper from a bit a go.  I found some KI memories ribbon and it has the adhesive already on it.  That is so convenient.

Apples and Pears

A simple card creation focusing of embossing.  There is a challenge on the Paper Maniac Challenge Blog of embossing.  I love embossing.  I really like to use multiple embossing colors.    The digital sentiments are from Raindrop Echo Designs for Paper Maniac.  I like that the sentiment finished the card.
