Challenges All O're The Place!!!

I am so excited to say this is my first time putting together 5, yes I say 5 challenges!!!  I have really enjoyed making Halloween cards over the past month or so and wish I had time to make more but with christmas around the corner I better get my butt in gear and start making those ones. 

Today's card includes the following challenges:

Cute Card Thursday - Spook Fest
Charisma Cardz - Distressing of any kind (inked around the edges of most layers)
Basic Grey - Sketch (I turned mine to the left) and I used BG DP
Stamp Something - Bling - BLING!!!  (bling in the upper r/h & lower l/h corner & flower centers.  I also have blingy bats as I used sparkle paper!!)
Copic Creations - Coloring Black  (her hat)

And now for the inside - yes, I did the inside!!  OH MA GOODNESS!  I still can't get over the ladies who do the inside all the time!  I'm slow enough.  LOL!

Sketch Saturday #71



I enjoyed making this little gal into a card.  I used Prima flowers, EK success leaf punch, paper from Everlasting Beauty, Upsy Daisy Designs, nesties, Martha Stewart border punch, misc brads and misc ribbon. 

The butterfly is from Prima's new Go Green Concepts called Say It in Pearls.  Love them!!

Magnolia

Last weekend ... no, wait almost 2 weekends ago, I made this bday card for my girlfriend who only recieved it yesterday!  SORRY!  I also used it for a contest on Splitcoast and the sketch was beautiful.  I didn't win but that's ok!!  I also used it for a Magnolia challenge that asked us to make our own flowers.  Ummm - ok sorry but I like storebought.  BROL!!  hee hee!!

Digital Delights Gallery

Sorry for the blurry picture.  My DH is hunting so took the camera with him and I can't hold my Blackberry still enough!  This is my first digi stamp I've used and I got him from Digital Delights Gallery from Freebie Friday! I am so shocked how well the Copics worked.  They have some very cute images and this card goes out to my SIL and brother who have just had their 2nd baby.  Congrats Mike, Sami & Journey and welcome Meakin!

I put white flocking on the cloud and glitter on his wings.  Much sweeter IRL!

Whiff of Joy Challenge #48 & A Spoon Full of Sugar

I LOVE how my card turned out! hee hee!  Isn't it nice to surprise yourself sometimes too?  I really liked the sketch over at WOJ and knew I HAD to try it out.  Although, I will say I had to cut more then my fair share of paper to make it work right.  My image is a bit bigger then what the sketch seemed to request but it was too late when I realized that.  LOL!  I really like how many layers there are ........  it was tricky.

*********Edited after post********* I forgot to mention this is also for A Spoon Full of Sugar challenge for Fall inspired projects.  Good thing I have lists!  I just need to check them more.  LOL!


My DP's are Cosmo Cricket, Prima flowers, EK Success border punch, QK flourish punch, Hobby House charms.  Hope you like it!
