Black White and Plum: Yum ;)

I LOVE the color challenge over on The Play Date Cafe this week! There are just sooooooooo many possibilities for these colors! I chose Halloween, but I'm also thinking of doing a Christmas and Thinking of You card with these colors as well! :) Here is my take...

Isn't that color combo fun?! I was inspired by Arielle of Snappy Stappin' w/ Arielle's style. I adore it! She is super amazing!

Here are a few more angles and the Color Story is in the bottom right. ;)

I had tons of fun making this card, so I hope you like it. I would love to hear your thoughts so please leave a comment if you wish. ;)

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #85

This was my first attempt so I have some parts that are lighter than others, but I really like this technique. It adds just the right amount of pizzazz to your cards. ;)

Ah, Freshly Made, There You Are ;)

It's been a long time since I've played along with Freshly Made Sketches. I've been a bit busy these last couple of weeks and haven't done but a few challenges... anyhoo, here is my take on this weeks sketch (which you can find HERE.)

Still making a few Halloween cards. ;)

I love that WOW Glitter from American crafts. It works beautifully when you want to glitter up a die cut, and that brown is gorgeous IRL. ;)

Here is a close up, and another angle...

CASE Study #110

Hello. I have played along with CASE Study again this week. ;) I love this challenge site, it's one of my favorites. :) I'm almost at the end of my Halloween card making, but not the end of the crafting in general. I still have a few more Halloween projects I want to finish up before our party and I still need a few more cards...

Here is my card for this weeks CASE Study challenge...

I don't have the larger Mat Stacks to coordinate with the ones I already have (yet,lol) so I improvised a little and cut the black one in half so it would shadow the top and bottom. ;)

Here are a few more angles and the muse's card (in the top right corner.)

Have I mentioned that I LOVE this new Night and Fall stack by Recollections? It's got really awesome fall colors! :)

A Retro/CASology ;)

I've been combining challenges lately and I normally don't do that on a regular basis...hmmm. ;) Guess I've just been inspired by more than one thing at a time lately, lol. ;)

I've decided to combine the CASology Challenge #11

 with the Retro Sketches#29 Challenge.

Here is my card...

I've always loved it when people use the negatives from their die cuts to make something else. I think it's a great way to use as much of your paper as possible. ;) I also love the white on white...I forget about it sometimes, but it's a really wonderful effect. ;)

Here are some more angles and the sketch is in the bottom left corner. ;)

Hope you like it. I enjoyed making it. :) I would love to hear your thoughts so please leave a comment if you wish.

Another CASE Study Halloween :)

I think I'm a little obsessed with Halloween. ;) I can't help it, I love it! :) LOL! I decided to play along with the CASE Study challenge and the muse's card gave me a cute (scary?) idea for a skeleton card.

I interpreted the scalloped bordered on the muse's card as drips. I like how it looks as though the pattern is dripping away...

Here are some more angles and the muse's card (in the bottom right corner.)

A CAS-ual "Less Is More" Fridays (On A Monday hehe!)

The challenge over on "Less is More" this week is to use and oval. The challenge over on CAS-ual Fridays is to used Black and White + One...so I thought I could combine the two. ;) Two birds with one stone and all that...but really the two together inspired me to make this card, which was fun, and I think it came out rather cute. Or scary, depending if you like spiders or not. Lol!

I LOVE the little glitter black on black spider web at the top. It's just enough without being too much...you know what I mean? ;)

Here are a few more angles...

Hope you like it, it was fun to make and came together so easily! It could be fun to make a set with different images in the oval...hmmm... ;)
