Crafting Serenity: October 2011

And what a perfect incentive to start getting those Halloween cards & projects made especially since the next challenge at Crafting for All Seasons Blog is Halloween!

The design team was given the opportunity to work with two wonderful companies who are sponsoring this challenge, Just Some Lines and Pink Cat Studio .

The first card I want to share is using the image,

Getting Ready for Halloween, from Just Some Lines.

Image, Getting Ready for Halloween, colored with Copics

Papers - Memory Box, Blackbird

Sentiment, happy halloween - Close to My Heart

Hemp - Close to My Heart

Mini Clothes Pin - from my stash

My second card was made using a digital design that I was able to create myself at Pink Cat Studio. If you haven't head about this awesome new tool over at Pink Cat Studio, you definitely need to head over there & try it out.

Here is where you can find the Pink Cat Studio Digi Stamp Designer tool. It is FREE to download and very easy to navigate. Just a little warning, this wonderful opportunity to design your very own one of a kind digi stamp can become very addictive. I had so much fun & loved my creations. Not to delay any longer, here is MY Pink Cat one of a kind creation -

These two sponsors have also generously each offered prizes!

Pink Cat Studio - 5 Digital Stamps

and

Just Some Lines - $15 Gift Certificate

Now, go head over to Crafting for All Seasons to see all the awesome creations from our design team, then go CREATE!

Fall is all about

Fall Flowers and Pumpkins

AND that is what it is all about over at

Crafting for all Seasons

We have started our new challenge & it is all about

Fall Flowers & Pumpkins

Fred She Said Designs is sponsoring this challenge.

I had the pleasure of picking out one of their digital designs to create with.

I picked the digital Wheelbarrow.

Now since this digital didn't actually have a pumpkin for the challenge, I decided to do one of two things. First, I finally dusted off my Silhouette & found a wonderful pumpkin card I could cut out & use as the actual card. Then I decided to use a pumpkin button from my stash to add to my creation.

Tag & Sentiment, just for you, stamps are from my stash. Along with the Leaves.

I colored the Wheelbarrow digital with Copics.

Then added various Stickles to really make the fall flowers stand out.
