Sentimentally yours

 This is not what this post was meant to look like!  For some reason (I should really face up to things here and say it was more than probably me not putting the dates in right!) Blogger decided not to post this when it should have - so I am so, so, so late with this. However, you do still have just under a week to get an entry in - and to be honest so few people come to my blog now that me being late probably didn't make much of a difference!

Hello blogland,

It's time for a new challenge over at Sweet Stampin' and this fortnight the theme is 'Feature a Sentiment'.  As always please remember this is a stamping challenge and so your entry does need to have some stamping (old fashioned rubber or modern digital) on it somewhere.

Here's my card:

Supplies used:

Stamp:

Catherine Pooler - Everybody Say Happy sentiment stamp set

Dies:

Creative Craft Products - DL card builder set

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Labels Two

Pretty Pink Posh - Scalloped Borders 2

Stencil:

Creative Expressions - DL Stencils: Party Confetti

Anything else:

Polkadoodles - Stencil Butter Frosting: Sunbeam Shimmer

sequins

Paper:

First Edition - Let's Celebrate

And that's it folks - not actually sure that I like this card, I feel something didn't work right but I can't put my finger on just what's wrong.  Maybe I should have used black card for the stencil paste - it doesn't show so well on the picture but in real-life it's very pretty.

Anyways off again now, see you soon.

Sarah

Halloween

 Morning blogland,

It's the start of a new month and so the start of a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge and, as you may have guessed from the title of the post, as it's October the theme this month is 'Halloween'.

We have the wonderful Lili of the Valley as our sponsor, with a prize for one lucky random winner.  To be in with the chance of winning, or being picked as our Top 3, you just need to follow the theme - we don't have any rules about what you can create but you must follow the theme.  The only restriction we have is a maximum of 3 entries per person.

Here's my card:

Supplies used:

Digital image:

etsy seller - PawsLetters

It's a pre-coloured image from a set called 'Witches in Black'

I also created the sentiment in Publisher

Dies:

Spellbinders: Nestabilities - Decorative Labels Eight

My Favorite Things - Fishtail Foundations

Creative Expressions - Noble Collection: Stitched Squares

Creative Expressions - Noble Collection: Stitched Rectangles

Paper:

BoBunny - Weekend Market Collection

Anything else:

Heavy black card for the card base

light black card

And that's it folks, we don't 'do' Halloween in our house and so this card will probably go to one of the TTT's friends who is more into the whole 'spooky season' thing.

Hope everyone is well.

Sarah
