Best Witches!

Hey howdy hey and happy Friday! Today I have my first Halloween card of the season--yay! Halloween is my favorite holiday. People who know me know I LOVE to dress up and wear silly hats any old day, so any holiday where I get to dress up all over town is a winner in my book. I really love how this card came out and I plan on making it in a bunch of different colors for people at work!

Isn't it so fun?!? I used the Witch Boot Card Kit from SVG Cutting Files and cut it on my Explore. I had this gorgeous black glittery Bazzill cardstock I've been dying to use and it worked so perfectly for the boot and skirt! You can't tell from a photograph, but the glitter has all different colors when you move it in the light--so witchy! I also threw on my Wink of Stella in purple on the scalloped circle for more glitz. I stuck with pretty fall colors with the deep purple, dark green, burnt orange and cream. I will definitely be trying the next one with brighter spooky colors. My favorite part of this are the details on the boot!

Aren't you in love with it? I swear photos don't do it justice. I used some purple Queen & Co Bubbles for her buttons and tied up some pretty purple and white baker's twine just for an extra touch. I love how those details look on her glittery glam boot! :) I almost forgot to mention, I used the Halloween Chatter {october 2013 sentiment kit} from Unity Stamp Co; I love this kit!

That's it for today! I am entering this in the Unity Friends with Flair challenge and the SVG Cutting Files Anything with Fall Colors Challenge! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend. :)

MPC Lawn Fawn Challenge

Hello, all and happy Friday! This week I am so so excited to announce that I have been selected to be a member of the brand-new Mountain Plains Crafters design team--my very first design team ever! YAY! You might have noticed all the cool logos off to the right over there--those are our super awesome sponsors: Unity, Lawn Fawn, May Arts, Graphic 45, Fancy Pants...what else could a crafter ask for?!

To kick things off, MPC has a way cool new challenge starting today; all you have to do is create a project with a lawn or a fawn...of course, this challenge is being sponsored by the ever-awesome Lawn Fawn! The winner gets a 6x6 paper pad AND a stamp set of your choosing...that's one sweet prize! 

Here's what I came up with for the challenge...

I am so loving it! It was a little out of my comfort zone, but that's the fun thing about challenges...they challenge you! ;)  The sky was done with Distress Inks (Faded Jeans and Broken China), the lawn and fawn were cut on my Explore and the sentiment is from the Unity March 2014 KOTM. And how official-looking is that cool MPC logo down there? ;)

Now it's your turn to play along and try for a seriously awesome prize. For real. I wish I could win it. ;)

Click below for the challenge post and let's see those lawns and fawns! ^_^

Unity itty bitty-a-day Challenge! Day 7

Today is the last day of the Unity itty bitty-a-day Challenge! I'm sad because I've enjoyed making time every day to create something, but I'm happy to have completed my first challenge--yay! Today I used an adorable little stamp and combined it with a some pretty cuts using my Cricut Expore...

I really love the little teapot, it went perfectly with this itty bitty, Cup of Tea. Isn't that perforated background cool? You can see all the little holes shining through in the shadow. :)

Have a wonderful week! <3
