A little weekend crafting

Hi there, crafty friends ~ I've been playing in my craft room over the weekend with some of my new goodies...my super sweet and incredibly talented blog friend, Kay Miller, just released her first two sets of stamps and matching dies at Papertrey Ink! How exciting is that?!!! Today, I'm sharing one set, and next week, I will share the other. I can't wait to see what else she comes up with in the future!

 My first card is for Darnell's NBUS Challenge #7 (Never-Before-Used-Schtuff) for the theme 'Anything Goes’ and this week's challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More for the theme ‘Holiday’ ~


These cute Halloween images were so much fun to play with, and I used Copic markers to color them in. The curved panel along the bottom was blended with distress ink. Crisp, clean, simple and fun...my kind of card :)

***************

The featured designer for the current Tag You’re It Challenge is Michelle Short, and I love her inspiration tag! Here is my take on her tag:




 I blended SSS Audrey Blue ink on the tag, then added the PTI Sunflower and ombre sentiment from the Make it Market Kit. I love adding a tag like this when I send a little gift package off to my Godchild...it works perfectly!

 As always, thanks so much for stopping by, and for leaving such sweet comments. I read and appreciate every one of them :) Have a great week ~
