MTME Pretty Patterns #34

*** If you've stopped by for my Delightful Challenges post, please scroll down. ***

Hello everyone!  I have news!  I have shared the last 4 weeks on my blog my entries for my DT application to My Time Made Easy Pretty Patterns team.  I made it!!  I was so excited to get Tangii's email on Monday.  She said I didn't have to start right away, but you all know me.... why wait!

So, jumping in with both feet, here's my first card on the team.

It's a real easy, very versatile sketch.  I used Beautiful Baubles and Mrs Candy Claus digi paper to create a ornament that will detach from the card base.  The string is pushed between the layers for a tidy presentation and then the ornament can be removed, the string taken out and can be hung on the tree.

I do hope you'll join us this week at MTME Pretty Patterns.

Supplies:

Paper: Mrs. Candy Claus digi paper
Card stock: Neenah Classic Crest, Garden Green, Real Red, Pixie Pink
Markers: Elementz silver metallic
Tools: Cuttlebug, Argyle embossing folder, Oval cutter (CM)

Delightful Challenges

Good Morning!  It's Thursday and that means another Delightful Challenge.  As I said, I have another Halloween project to share with you.  This week's challenge at Delightful Challenge is a color combo...

Black, Orange, Purple & Green

So here's what I created....

Here's my entire Halloween ensemble - I created a treat bag with cute topper and a luminaria to adorn an entrance way.

First, the treat bag....

I found these cups at the dollar store, so it was pretty simple to add a strip of the Spooktacular Digi paper around the cup to give it some pop and costume.  Add some sweet treats and place in a cello bag.  Then I topped it with an adorable bag topper.

My topper features Sitting Mummy, Spooktacular digi paper and spider webs from the Halloween House set.

Next I created this luminaria.  I did find a tutorial on Splitcoast - I didn't follow it exactly, but I think it turned out really adorable.  These would be great to line a walkway, just add a rock for weight and a flameless tealight.  It's wind proof!

I made my own bat svg and cut them out using SCAL and my Cricut.  So and then adhered with adhesive and pop dots.

This picture is a bit grainy, but it captured the luminaria all lit up pretty well.

I hope you like my project and that it inspires you to create something for your Halloween.  Even if you don't do Halloween, change the paper and adornments and you can create a luminaria to match your decor or to dress your Thanksgiving table.  I'm sure you'll see me do this again for Christmas.

Enjoy your day and be sure to join us at Delightful Challenges.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #117

Hello everyone!  I hope you're all doing well.  I appreciate your visit and hope you'll join us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  Tiffany Doodles is sponsoring and we have a fun sketch.  It is the last of our month long Think Pink challenge.

My card features a sweet sentiment from Tiffany Doodles....

I kept my card really simple, allowing the textures and patterns to create the card and then topping it off with a sentiment as my focal image.  Touches of some bright, bold pink with a bit of orange and apricot is grounded by white and blue.  I really am pleased with how this card turned out.   I hope you like it, too.
