We All Have Them!

I made this card for the current challenge over on the caardvarks blog, to make a "tall" card. I saw this scene on a piece of Bam Pop paper sitting next to me and thought it would be fun to use. I added some glitter glue to the exclamation points to make them pop a little bit better and of course drew the "angry" doodles on the side. The cute little OBP hedgehog is concerned for his friend and the inside of the card reads "I'm here for you".

HAPPY DANCE! I got a light-box set up in the mail yesterday and I can't wait to try it out on my next project!!

E.A.D Treats!

It's officially the last E.A.D designs blog hop and Emily has yummy treats to share today! She is giving away another $25 gift certificate to the E.A.D Designs Store (keep reading to find out how to enter) as well as offering 35% off all store purchases (TODAY ONLY) with coupon code WITCHES BREW.

Today I have a layout and a card to share.

I love E.A.D Vinyl cause you can apply it to anything, like this little leaf!

I used "trick or treat with spider" for my layout of last years Halloween photos because I just loved the font! (p.s. the spider is on the back of the little bucked I showed you last week)

I used the butter colored "retro thank you" rub-ons that come in this month's torendi kit "Joy" for this fall card. I think it goes so well with so many Cosmo Cricket Papers.

Now about that gift certificate. Be sure to leave a comment here and on all the blogs in our hop that are listed below. Emily will pick a winner and announce it on the E.A.D Designs Blog Friday!

Good Luck!

"...the more you laugh, the more you fill with glee..."

It's product focus day over on the torendi blog and this weeks product is linen tape. I used the linen tape that comes in this months "Joy" kit. Instead of making a bow, flower, or stripe with linen tape, I cut it up and highlighted the fun images that are printed on it.

Not your Regular Ruffles Challenge!

Here is my next second entry for the moxie fab world challenge!

Ok Cath, so I think this one is a little out of the box and maybe not what you had in mind, but I couldn't resist! :D I saw the corrugated cardboard sitting next to me and thought that it would make perfect "ruffles".

Painted and sprinkled with pepper and nutmeg!

I couldn't resist adding the small Alice in Wonderland Sticker either!

What do you think? I think they look good enough to eat? ;)

A quick and adorable E.A.D Project!

I was going to save this project for Tuesday's E.A.D blog hop but then I saw that all E.A.D scrapbooking rub-ons are on SALE this weekend, so I HAD to spread the word. They are AWESOME and I wouldn't want anyone to miss out!

This cute orange bucket came from the Target dollar bins (oh how I miss target) and you actually get two of these small ones for a dollar. All the E.A.D scrapbooking rub-ons come with an outer frame around them. I used that extra vinyl to make the line along the bottom and also to wrap the handle with. That AWESOME skull balloon is from "Love Hurts" (I want a whole page of these balloons!!) and I cut out letters from "Sentiments" to make the boo!

Have fun picking out some E.A.D rub-ons for yourself! You won't be disappointed!

Ruffles?

I know it's not really me, but I thought I would give it a try for the Moxie Fab Challenge. I have never been a girly girl, so ruffles and lace aren't my things, but I had a cute scrap fabric that matched the adorable mushroom fabric from torendi, so I gave it a whirl. I also used the card sketch from Card Patterns this week.

Fabric: Shinzi Katoh Canvas Mushroom Fabric and scrap

I hope you didn't forget that torendi is sponsoring the 365cards challenge blog this week! Today's challegne is "Same, but Different". Meaning your challenge is to use at least 2 papers that have the SAME pattern but are different in color. I also decided to add stitching to my card, thanks to the challenge over at the Design Dollies Blog Here is what I came up with...

Happy World Card Making Day!

I have been running around all day, but couldn't go without posting at least ONE card today! I hope all of you have had time to get crafty and play some games on this fun day!

This card I combined for two challenges. I used the sketch from Wednesday September 30th over on the 365 Cards blog and I also played along with a NEW challenge by Courtney Baker. It's called "everything but the kitchen sink" and for each challenge you will be asked to use things from around the house. The first week's challenge was to use something that came in the mail. I used a stamp that my mom used to send a letter to my daughter Aurora. I took a close up of the stamps, so you could see that it has actually been used. :)
