Fall, the Season of Fun

Hi everyone!

It's time for my last sketch as November guest designer on Sketch 'n' Scrap. I have so enjoyed being a guest  designer and working with their fabulous sketches. 

Here is their sketch:

And here is what I created from this sketch:

 So many fun photos from our Fall photos that I just had to make another one and am categorizing by scene/poses.

 The fun papers are from DCWV's Halloween and Fall stack.

And the sparkly flowers from a Fall package of Flora Doodles flowers by Petaloo.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and go and check out the rest of the DT's takes on this wonderful sketch HERE.

Smile, tomorrow is Friday...

I'd Fall for You Anytime November Guest Designer Layout

Hi everyone!

Today I made my debut as the November sketch designer on Sketch 'N' Scrap's challenge blog. Here is the sketch we were to use:

And here is my take on it:

This picture is from our Fall pictures we had taken this year and I have so many more I want to scrap! The papers are all from DCWV's Halloween and Fall stack and the sunflowers are from Hobby Lobby and they were just being sold in the Fall section of the store. I'm trying really super hard to use up my stash before I buy anything so I'm glad that I got to use these sunflowers and have one less thing in my stash! *Gasp* Did I actually just say that?? Yes...yes, I did! 

So go and check out the other DT's takes on Sketch 'n' Scrap and get going on your own take of this sketch!

Have a great Friday tomorrow everyone!!

My Craft Spot Challenge #73 + A Special Announcement

Hi everyone!

Happy Sunday! I have been busy crafting away this weekend with my friend and my sister via Skype. lol It's not just for talking!! It's also for getting your craft on with friends!!

Today's creation is for My Craft Spot's challenge #73--Emboss it! I made this cute Halloween card using patterned papers from a Paper Studio Halloween stack and then to separate the papers, added candy corn ribbon. 

The vampire trick or treater is from the Trick or Treat cartridge and is cut at 2.5" and the mat he is on is a Sizzix die that I cut and then embossed with the swiss dots cuttlebug folder. After I embossed it, I ran some Tim Holtz Black Soot ink over the embossing to give it a nice black color and inked around the edges of the mat. 

Thanks My Craft Spot for another fun challenge and can't wait for the next one! 

I also have a special announcement to make. I just found out that I was chosen as the November guest designer on Sketch 'n' Scrap's blog. I'm very excited to have been chosen and very excited to get started!! So look for my work there this next month! Thank you Sketch 'n' Scrap for choosing me to help provide inspiration on their blog! :D

Thank you for stopping by today!

Fall Sketch 'n' Scrap Guest Designer Layout

Hi everyone!

Tonight's creation is for Sketch 'n' Scrap's November Guest Designer! Super cute sketch!

Here is my take on it!

 These are pictures from Fall 2010 when we were at Papa's Pumpkin Patch having our pictures taken by our good friend. The papers are from DCWV's Halloween & Fall stack. 

 I had this cute little Fall embellie that is by We R Memory Keepers that I found at the dollar store. Around the circle it says, "Apple picking, pumpkins, leaves, crisp air,hay rides,and cozy evenings". I then added a few sparkly leaves that have rhinestones in them around the title. 

 I then added a sparkly pinecone and an acorn for embellishements....

....and a very cute acorn border that I think accents the papers very nicely! 

Love Fall and I really loved creating this layout. Hope you like it as well! Thanks Sketch 'n' Scrap for this great opportunity and great sketch!!
