PMS Monday Challenge

It's time for another Paper Makeup Stamps Monday challenge (on a Wednesday!). Tina Hale issued a color challenge for this one...olive, ruby and chocolate. Lucious earthy, fall colors! I used Sprout for this because of the earthy colors...I thought she would look good in them. I started with my dp. I have a list of all the SU decorative papers and the colors that go with them (this is a year or so old now). It's so helpful, and sorry I don't know where I got it from...probably somewhere on SCS. Anyway, I came across Fall Flowers and Ginger Blossom (both retired). I chose the olive one from Fall Flowers and the ruby from Ginger Flowers. Then I went to my sketches (we all know I'm sketch challenged), and chose Beate's Weekend Sketch. I added the flowers, and I had to color the red one with my copic marker because I didn't have one to match. The sentiment is also from PMS.

If you want to see what the other DT members have done, go to the PMS blog. You can also post your card to Mr. Linky there...we'd love to see what you do with these colors. If you post to SCS/PCP, use the keyword PMSMC29.

Also, sneak peeks for the PMS October release will begin on Friday, October 2 (I cannot believe it's almost October already!). Be on the lookout for that...lots of great new images being released! Thanks for stopping in today! Have a great week!

Think INK ***Sparkles***

Hey everyone! Today is Tuesday and it's time for another Think INK Tuesday challenge from Artful INKables! And I've chosen the challenge today! If you know me, you know that almost all my cards have some sort of ***sparkle*** on them, cause I love when cards shimmer in the light!

So my challenge is to make your cards ***sparkle***!

Go to the Artful INKables blog and check out my card and all the details! I hope you join in our challenge. You'll see my card posted here on Thursday as well!

Have a great day! :-)

A My Time Package for Candy

Happy Saturday, everyone! The My Time challenge that Lauren gave us today is to create a package for candy. I made the package, but I have to confess that I didn't buy the candy for it...I've lost some weight recently and I do not have the will power to NOT eat the candy if it's in my house! I bought some candy as a prop for another project I did a couple of weeks ago and ate the WHOLE BAG!!! So no candy for this project! Please just pretend it's inside! I used Lauren's Tucked Away template for this. Imagine all the pretty candy that would fit inside! The base of the box is so saffron and the dp is SU's Pawsitively Prints (from the Holiday Mini). I just love that soft gingham print. The ribbon is also so saffron grosgrain. Now for the flower on top. I used the daisy die cut from SU and sponged some so saffron ink on the edges of each petal. I curled the ends for more interest. The leaves are also a SU die in certainly celery. The button is PTI. I would just love to receive this full of candy...wouldn't you? These templates are so fun to make and so pretty to give and receive!

Now you must stop by the blogs of the My Time DT to see their candy packages. They never disappoint.

BOO!!

I have a Halloween card to share today from Artful INKables. It's their newest release called Halloween Hauntings...11 great images and sentiments for all kinds of great Halloween creations!I saw this great layout on the Mojo Monday blog this week...there are some fabulous ones on that blog! So I had to use it and had intended to do a black and white card, but that little bit of bright pink showed up in the ribbon, so I went with it! It sort of pumped it up! I used a 1 3/8" punch for the circles and used SU's new paper called Night & Day. And I of course used that great MS drippy goo punch! What fun that is! I stamped the cat and skulls image in Versamark and heat embossed it with Starry Night embossing powder. I really sparkles...something I really like on my cards. I added the "Boo" sentiment from the set, and when I took a good look at it, it's drippy-looking like the drippy goo punch!

That's all for today, folks! I had Open House tonight and was at school all day...needless to say I'm falling asleep as I'm writing this! I hope you check out the Artful INKables store (it's had a recent overhaul and you should check it out and all the fun things there). Thanks for stopping by!

Getting Punchy with PMS!

Paper Makeup Stamps' Monday Challenge this week was to use punches or die cuts. Tangii came up with this idea, and I'm glad she did because it got me to use a couple of these die cuts I've had from SU forever! I think I may use them more now that I've finally pulled them out!I'm in an autumn mode...can you tell? This is my favorite time of year! We had a BEAUTIFUL fall weekend this past weekend and I was just lovin' it! (Perfect for football too...and the Bills won, Christi!!) Anyway onto the card. I used the PMS Swirlie Tree image and colored it with SU markers in chocolate chip, old olive, really rust, and only orange. I like how the tree trunk looks...it sort of came out like a real one. The dp is also a retired SU one called Autumn Vine. I paired it with pumpkin pie and chocolate chip. The sentiment on the old olive circle (also a die cut) is a PMS one stamped in chocolate chip. I added embossed dots on the bottom of the card, some bling, and some star dust stickles on the tree. The sketch is Beate's weekend sketch from this past weekend. I just changed the orientation a bit because of the way the tree was "swaying"!

You still have time to play in our Getting Punchy PMS Monday Challenge by posting your direct link to Mr. Linky on the PMS blog. You should stop by anyway and see the fabulous creations the DT created for this challenge! If you post to SCS/PCP, use the keyword PMSMC28 and Paper Makeup Stamps so we can find it.
