Bo Bunny Card Challenge

Bo Bunny is having a card sketch challenge this week.  The challenge is open until October 17.  If you are interested click here.  I decided to enter the challenge.  I truly enjoy working with the Bo Bunny papers.  They fit my personality.  

Here is the card I created using the Bo Bunny Snowy Serenade line of papers.    I used four different papers from the collection.  I inked the edges of the papers with the Colorbox french blue and warm violet.  The snowflakes are from a company called Me & My Big ideas.  The trims are part of the stash I have at Craftology Studio and are not available in the store at this time.  If you must to have one of the trims just comment here and I will get in touch with you.

These papers and embellishments are part of the 2009 product line so  they are not the current product line.  However I have found them available at my local scrapbook store and others online.

Halloween Mini Album

Here are some images of the Halloween Mini album I made. I used the Recollections mini album kit from Michael's and some gorgeous Marah Johnson paper from Remember When. I think the paper line is called Breathless. I inked the edges of most all my papers using the Quick Quotes line of chalk inks.  I love them.  All the trims are from Craftology Studio.

 Marah is going to be at Remember When this Saturday. So if you are in the area . . .

Thanks for looking if you are interested ,please sign up to follow my blog.  You will be entered to win either a Christmas Ornament or Six Seasonal Cards hand made by me.     I am working on them now.    The winner will be chosen November  30th.   Good luck and thanks for stopping by.

Halloween

Do you believe it is already October.  I have been making all kinds of Halloween goodies.  I crocheted that adorable Halloween Candy Bowl.  I love it.  Fun and Spooky. 

I found a great Pumpkin Crochet Along at The Itsy Bitsy Spider and made these great pumpkins.  If you like to crochet you should check out her blog.  The Little pumpkin on the left is for my daughter who is away at college.  I made the face on the pumpkin using glow in the dark embroidery floss.  So I am hoping it will be a nice surprise for her when she goes to sleep.  Just a little something to make her smile.   The other two pumpkins are for my friend. I only have one more pumpkin to grow. 

I also made a Halloween mini album.  But I will show you that next time.
