HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE AT DI'S DIGI DESIGNS!!

Happy Saturday to everyone!!  Hope your weekend has started off well.   I haven't posted in a while as I have been swamped with starting to move into our new home.  This week I spent 2 very long days over there getting internet, phone, satellite tv and invisible fence installed.  Next week I meet with security people, furniture is being delivered and I am meeting with the movers at our current house for the estimate on moving cost.  Needless to say, the next few weeks will continue to be very busy.  I am trying to post when possible and do as many DT projects as time permits.  Thanks for sticking with me during this time of scarse posting.

We have a NEW CHALLENGE for you over at DI’S DIGI DESIGNS and it is HALLOWEEN!  You have until 11:55pm EDT on Friday, November 7, 2014 to come join the fun. Remember, you don’t need to use an image from DI'S DIGI STAMPS to play along, but if you do, you have a chance to win 2 images from DI'S DIGI STAMPS in addition to a chance at the sponsor prize – 3 items of choice from The Cutting Cafe (winner pays shipping if any).

I hope you will check out DI'S DIGI STAMPS as Di has so many wonderful images, many that would be perfect for our challenge.   You can also check out her CandiBean rubber stamps line available at many online retailers - SET 5 is now available for pre-order!!

Today my creation uses one of the newest images from DI’S DIGI STAMPS - Not So Wicked Witch.

I just love this cut image and I'm so happy with how it turned out.  Image is colored with Copics, and Atyou Spica pens and cut with Cheery Lynn die.  DP is from Bella Blvd. and CS is American Crafts.  Sentiment is from Mark's Finest Papers and cut with Nestie.  Pumpkin sticker is Jolee's Boutique.  Sure hope you like it and you'll come play along!!

FALL FUN WITH HALLOWEEN IMAGE FROM TREASURED TIMES RUBBER STAMPS

I'm here a bit late today to showcase one of the amazing stamps available at Treasured Times Rubber Stamps.   Today I decided to go in a different direction while using one of the many awesome Halloween stamps from Treasured Times Rubber Stamps.  I have chosen Blowing Kisses Witch by artist Erica Nicomedi.  The "twist" I decided to go with today is coloring a Halloween related image in non-Halloween colors, so instead I chose fall colors to showcase this delightful image.

I adore this image and it was so much fun to color.  Image is colored with Copics after being stamped on Cryogen White paper using Memento black ink to stamp image.  

I used the following colors to highlight this beautiful image.  I sure hope you like how the coloring turned out!

Hair E31, E35, E57, E79

Skin E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, R21

Dress and part of socks YR27, YR24, YR21

Apple R59, R46, R27, YG97, YG95, YG93

Hat, cape, trim on dress and part of socks E59, E19, E08

I chose very fall themed papers from DCWV DP and CS from Bazzill.  Image cut with Lifestyle Crafts die, sentimet from Taylored Expressions is cut with Sizzix die.  Sticker from Jolee's Boutique.

 I sure do hope you like it!!

Hugs!

My creation uses Whimsy Stamps Store digi image Couple In Love from the Crissy's Digis Collection.  I love this gorgeous image and had so much fun coloring it with my Copics.  I chose DP from Webster's Pages and CS from Bazzill.  I did a fun fold this time around, not sure what the fold is called.  Image cut with Taylored Expressions die, sentiment from My Craft Spot cut with Nestie.  Stickers are from K and Co. and pearls are from Recollections.  I sure hope you like it and will come join our challenge as well as check out all the New Releases at Whimsy Stamps Store.  Hugs:)

ANYTHING BUT A CARD AT INKY IMPRESSIONS

Another post from me today!  Busy day here on the blog as it seems the first of the month always is.   Hard to believe it's October already, feels like kids were on summer break just yesterday!

I'm pleased to announce a New Challenge this week at Inky Impressions Challenge and it is ANYTHING BUT A CARD.  You have 1 week to come play along, so come link up your project at Inky Impressions Challenge - you can use any images you like.

My card today features digi Angelica Raking from Inky Impressions.  I have colored this wonderful image with my Copics and cut out with scissors.   I made a Fall Box using Bazzill CS and Doodlebug DP.  I added a band and leaves from an SVG Cuts template set that I cut on my Pazzle.  I added sentiment from My Craft Spot that is cut with Nestie.    Sure hope you like it and will come play along!!
