October here I come - New Challenges!!

There are a couple of challenges that I am participating in this month, and I am really excited! The colors, themes, etc., are really good and challenges myself again! Doing something new allows yourself to explore other creativities that you thought you did not have!

The below is first of many that I will be showing. 'Picture Perfect' was created for the Chocolate Kisses - October Colour Challenge (sb.com). My dd loves to take picture and pose for them, as you can see!

Products needed for this LO, plus paper that I bought at Joannes.

Here is the finished product: I used a lot of inking in this LO. the flowers were pre-made die-cuts that I added a little water to and shaped to give them a better flower look.

Closer look at the flowers. Love that the pp is printed!

Some New Cards for all Occasions!

I wanted to take a short break from Layouts to make some cards. I was inspired to try a flower again, after my first attempt was a flop! I think the second time is a charm for me, what do you think? The paper is from an unknown company, since my mom passed away I inherited her stash, and in the stash was pre-made die cuts. So since the budget is getting tighter I looked through it and made the below card. I love the colors as it reminds me of fall!

And for the fun of Halloween....another card for the occasion! The Trick or Treat is a stamp, and I inked the inside orange and border black.
