Blogger's Challenge Week 63 -- You got to be in it to win it.


This week's Blogger's Challenge was a super easy one for me. It was a color challenge and they are all new in-colors. I just love the brand new line of colors this year. My favorite ever! They are bold and fun which is just my style. We were to use four of the new colors...

Kiwi Kiss
Tangerine Tango
Riding Hood Red
and
Pacific Point

These just happen to be my favorites! The other are more muted subtle colors.

I also combined this with the



this weeks challenge was to use paper piecing. I knew I wanted to do a Halloween card and only have two sets from Storage Units Inks & More (for now) so I used the stamping up set Haunting Halloween for this time around. Why not play along with either of these challenges.


I hope you enjoy my card today and please take some time to check out the other players by clicking on the logo on the right side of my blog.

YOU GOT TO BE IN IT TO WIN IT!
OVER $200 WORTH OF BRAND NEW STAMPS SET COULD BE YOURS.

It seems that there are only 18 people out there that want to help others, get a tax write off and have a chance at winning over $200 in brand new stamps sets all at one time. That don't seem right. I am so happy that I am happy to say that I am one third of the way to my goal! But I need more so I am resorting to a little begging. Won't you consider even a two dollar donation to help others and you never know you may walk away with all of this......

TGIF!
Thank God I'm Forgiven!

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #33

Happy Labor Day to all of you! I am so sorry to see our short Summer come to an end already. The kids go back to school on Thursday and then it will seem like a couple of weeks and BOOM! it will be Christmas! How crazy is that. I wish the kids had just a little longer of a break from school, it goes so darn fast. But of course I will have a wee bit more stamping time during the days. Anyway, here is this weeks sketch....







I really like the sketch and think it is a easy one to work with. There are so many possibility with it. I was quite a lazy stamper and did not even get up from my chair for this card. All of the stamps and paper were within reach of my spot! The only think I had to move for was the cuttlebug bubble type embellishment. I have not been able to put down these new in colors - insert "no kidding, Mary Jo" here, lol. It seems like every card I make has this Kiwi Kiss color on it. The colors this year are really fun. So here is my very un-traditional Halloween card, which by the way hubby hates!




I didn't think it was so bad, different yes, but not really bad?!? What do you think?

Stamps: Haunting Halloween
Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red Basic Black, Whisper White and Bella Rose DP
Ink: Basic Black
Other: cuttlebug, white gel pen, colored pencils, gamsol, faux brads, stampin sponge.
