Crafty Creations Challenge #194: Just One


Just one . . I'm sure you want to know what that means for our newest challenge at Crafty Creations.

It's a recipe challenge, but you can only use one of each: embellishment, image, paper & word. Sounds easy, right? Well, go ahead & give it a try, then . . . Sometimes it's not as easy as it looks :)

Our sponsor is The Stamping Boutique, who generously provided the image for this creation.

Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #38: Dark, Gothic &/Or Spooky

Happy, happy Halloween! I know it's a day early, but it's a new challenge at Tuesday Alchemy and my creation explains it all . . .

Once again, we are lucky to have two wonderful sponsors offer lucky crafters a prize from their shops:

I invite you to share a little (or lot) of spookiness and fun with us!

{PIN}spirational Challenge #31: Photo - Sport Cupcakes


Sports . . . hhmm . . what to say, what to say . .

Oh, yeah, welcome to the newest challenge at {PIN}spirational Challenges. Are you inspired by these yummy cupcakes?

I hope so! I would enjoy seeing what you come up with. I'm sure it will be a sport or two or maybe just the colors. Whatever sparks your creativity will be perfect!







Our sponsor this week is Pink Cat Studio. I included one of their digital stamps in this creation. It's a sHOOper fan!

Ok, I know . . that was horrible, but I hope you enjoyed it even if it's just a wee bit :)

Anything But A Card Challenge #5: Black



I invite you to join the Anything But A Card challenge. It's all about black, so add this color to your creations and share it with us today!

I decided to create clippies. Black grosgrain ribbon was shaped into bows, then topped with layers of fabric flower shapes & finished with a fun lady bug.

Same But Different: Orange Skeleton Tags

I made these skeleton tags last Halloween, but I never used them.
I tucked them away in a box, forgot about them, then discovered them in my fall cleaning.
I decided to use them in cards as the main embellishment. The skeleton is actually a stretchy toy.

Boo From Skeleton





Oh, boy, am I bummed! I moderate any comments left on my blog.
And what did I do? I clicked "Delete" instead of "Publish" - Doh, doh, doh!
Eighteen comments were lost and there's nothing I can do to get them back.

Unfortunately, Blogger doesn't have a place that stores deleted comments.
Nor do they ask you if you really want to delete them before actually deleting them.
Ok, ok, I'll man up. I did click "Delete" after all.

Use the unexpected! Anything can be an embellishment as long as you keep your options open and your mind creative. The skulls are actually cheap plastic rings. I cut the band off and what do I have? Spooktastic details :)
