A big announcement...

This week at Hambo Hoedown, the "Newscaster - digi" and the sentiments were offered if you had entered last weeks challenge and we had to include some newspaper in it. I went for a CAS card and wanted to put more emphasis on the headline. I colored with my Prisma pencils but used copics for the skin of the newscaster. Cardstock is from Martha Stewart.

Here's my take:

Treat bag à la Halloween

I came up with this title as I was typing this post. In case you're wondering what it means, well simply it just says Treat bag for Halloween.

I'm using it for the YNS challenge and Karen offered everyone who emailed her the spider digi FREE. I have embossed the treat bag, colored the spider with copics and used some Halloween ribbons from the dollar store. The pumpkins and spider webs are from the dollar store too. The sentiment is from Create with TLC.

The spider is hanging from a piece of rafia rope and held with a brad fastener. I've also made this card for Papertake Weekly and we had to get some inspiration from this picture where I've chosen orange for my treat bag.

Here's my take:

Challenge:

Papertake Weekly - Autumn Flair from photo
If the shoe fits - Halloween/Fall
Wags and Whiskers #65- Fall
By the cute and girly - Anything goes
CCEE Stampers - Something related to fall (Halloween)

Zombie Bunny

Hambo Hoedown has done a fantastic job for this week's digi which is "Zombie Bunny - digi" and I needed to use their sketch for this week's challenge.  I've colored the rabbit with copics and I've used Basic Grey - Spider's Web for my background paper. My border was punched using the Martha Stewart Spider's Web punch and I've used one of Prisma's flower and a butterfly brad from my stash. The sentiment is from Hambo Hoedown.

Here's my take:

Happy Halloween - A tag!

Another Halloween but this time , my daughter (4) and myself made this Halloween tag - Our first! The image is Pumpkin and Tags. She wanted to give some treat bags to her friends and thus, I have helped her in the cutting of the image and the rest, she has done it herself. I have used my prismacolor pencils and she taped in some Halloween foam shapes on the tag. I think it's cute for a 4-year old!!! What do  you think??

Challenges:
Designed 2 Delight DT - Halloween

Happy Halloween!!!

Hope for the Cure of Breast Cancer

For this past week, so many blogs have been talking about fighting Breast Cancer and I do hope that one day, there will be a cure for this disease. One of my aunts was diagnosed with this condition and she had to remove one of her breast unfortunately. She is now well though. I owuld like to dedicate this card to her because she is the living proof that even with only one breast, one can still survive...

I have inspired myself from Card Patterns and most of my colors are PINK for this cause. I have used Hope Butterfly, colored it with copics and used stickles. I have also embossed my paper with the Cricut Lite Bloom embossing folder and used some ribbons from my stash.

Challenges:

The Classroom - Pink Thank you
Card Patterns - Sketch 136
Sassy Cheryl - Show me #46
Whimsie Doodles - Think Pink
Lexi's Creations - Pink
The Stamping Boutique- Pink
