Halloween Challenge

Hello everyone, I know it has been quite awhile since I have posted anything. I am not going into what's been going let's just say it has been a wild couple of years. Now to the important stuff.

I am starting things off with a Halloween Challenge that my sister Brenda and I have been talking about for some time. All you need to do is make a Halloween card,  anything goes, so get creative  and post it below. I love this time of the year and have a granddaughter and great granddaughter that have birthdays before Halloween. So it let's me very creative! Start date is Friday September 22nd at 7am and ends Monday September 25th at Midnight.  The winner will be announced Tuesday Morning. Then part two will begin on Friday September 29th and ends Monday October 2nd. The winner will be announced Tuesday October 3rd. The prizes are a surprise and will be announced along with the winner.  This way if you miss the first one you will have a chance to play in the second one.

To give you an example here is mine; I used some paper I found at Michaels,  new thinlits and scrapes laying around. Have Fun! I did, this one is Black, White and Silver. The silver spiders are spooky, I was going for Vintage Halloween Look. How did I do?

VC Rocks Challenge 12

This is the last preview challenge, we were to make a Welcome card or Friendship  card.
I chose Calypso Coral as my color scheme. I embossed crumb cake with Vintage Wallpaper and then destressed with Tea stain. I inked very vanilla seam binding with Calypso Coral, and then made Butterflies with using Mr Big Shot, added some DSP and Pearls for Bling.

I love the way it came out.  I hope you have enjoyed my month of preview. May starts our summer 2012 of fun, stamping, and friendship.

VC Rock Challenge 9

Today's challenge was to create a card or scrap page that shows why you fell in love with stamping. Update it to your current style (if you didnt layer anything when you first started, layer your pieces or if you didnt use embellishments but love to add them now, use them). Revisit your first love!

Since my style has evolved over the years I hope you like what I came up with.

Take the word you used to describe yourself. Cross out any duplicate letters. Use the remaining letters as a guide to choosing cardstock or embellishments. The letter used must be found in the name of the item. Extra colors are permitted
