Ghoulfriends

This is my take on CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week, which is :

CFC22: Create a Clean And Simple project using a ribbon tab or loop. Big loops, tiny loops...get creative but the loops on a bow don't count.

Funny thing is that my MFT Totally Witchin' WTG paper pieced panel was the beginnings of my take on CFC#19, which was to use paper piecing on your Fall themed Clean And Simple project.  Well, I never finished that challenge - just the paper piecing.  Fast forward 3 challenges, and now my paper pieced witchies are the completion of CFC#22.  I added 2 triple layer loops on the left, popped up my panel on a white base, and added the sentiment. Voila!  Crafting time is hard to come by for me these days. So glad I finally got to play again at CAS-ual Fridays!  Thanks for stopping in!

Holiday's Delight

This card was made in combination of this week's Our Creative Corner challenge, which is is all about Christmas; and Wednesday's Splitcoast Sketch Challenge #291 that I used for my layout.  See below.

At first I had a hard time visualizing what I would do, but when I took out my brand new Greeting Card Kids set from SU, I knew.  The set comes without sentiments.  Since it looks very old fashioned, I pulled out my Crafty Secrets Vintage Christmas stamp set, and used a sentiment from there.  These Greeting Card Kids images remind me so much of these little Gurley Holiday Candles that my beloved Aunt Gina used to give to my sisters and I at holiday time.  There were Halloween candles, Thanksgiving candles and Christmas.  We  always put them on our holiday dinner table.  You can get them at the Vermont Country Store.  These SU images are very nostalgic to me.  I love them.

Here are my supplies:

Stamps~SU Holiday Card Kids, Crafty Secrets Vintage Christmas.

Ink~Momento Rich Cocoa, Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Paper~Nenah Solar White, Old Olive, Early Espresso, Riding Hood Red,SU Merry Moment DSP (R), Creative Memories Metallic Gold.

Accessories~SU Alpine 5/8" striped grosgrain ribbon (R), gold brads, Polar White Flower Soft, Flower Soft Glue, Gold Stickles, Copics, Nestabilities, Dimensionals, Mat pack & piercing tool.

For the Love of Chocolate

I love this MFT set - Who'S That Chocoholic. It's funny, because I am not a chocolate lover, but so many people who are dear to me are. It is the perfect set for chocolate loving girlfriends. I used Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge #57 for the layout.

This week's C4C Challenge is to design a card/project with a pink color scheme. I combined the two challenges to come up with this card. Both the image and sentiment are from MFT's Who's That Chocoholic set. The base of the card is SU Riding Hood Red. The DSP is SU retired Candy Lane. I paper pieced WTG and colored with Copics. The chocolates are glazed with a Sakura clear glaze pen to give them a little oomph! I really like this card and it is a perfect Valentine card for my friend and certified chocoholic, Dee. Thanks for stopping by today!
