Happy Halloooween! for QKR Stampede

Hello, and Happy Halloween weekend!  There are lots of fun things happening in my small town this weekend in honor of the approaching holiday, and probably in your city, too.  Enjoy!

Today, at QKR Stampede Challenge Blog, we're starting an optional themed "Happy Halloween" challenge, or you can always enter an "anything goes" project. 

Here's my "Happy Halloween" themed entry:

I used QKR Stampede digital stamp, Carved Pumpkin (Q-digi14209) and colored it with Copic markers.  The "Happy Halloween" sentiment is from Eureka Stamps (ES-digi3907).

The dies are from Stampendous and the candy corn digital paper is from MHKDesigns.  The card base and sequins are from Close To My Heart. 

I hope you join us this week at QKR Stampede Challenge Blog for our optional "Happy Halloween" themed challenge.  I'd love to see what you make, and we have great prizes!  

Tick Tock -- An MHKDesigns New Release

Aw, it's the final day of New Releases at MHKDesigns 😞.  I've so enjoyed the entire month of October releases!  To win them for yourself, start at the MHKDesigns blog, and comment on each designer's blog.

Today's featured release is "Tick Tock".  It's perfect for New Year's, belated birthday cards, masculine projects -- anything with a need for a vintage timepiece.  It's sooooo cool!

I printed 3 different time pieces from the Tick Tock digital stamp set on to MHKDesigns Very Distressing digital papers.  The sentiment, also part of the Tick Tock digital stamp set, was also printed on to Very Distressing digital paper.   It was a quick card to create, and, I think, has a masculine feel to it. 

I little glimmer trim from Close To My Heart and some 1/2 pearls from my stash finished off the card.

Don't forget to start at the MHKDesigns blog to see all the awesome inspiration from the MHKDesigns team.  You'll find the Tick Tock new release, and all MHKDesigns, in the Etsy Shop.

Heaven Heals -- an MHKDesigns New Release

Hello crafty friends.  Today is another day of new releases at MHKDesigns.  It seems like I need far too many sympathy cards, so todays New Release, Heaven Heals, comes in very handy for me.

I used one of the pre-framed sentiments to create this card.  I wanted a design I could duplicate easily when I need a sympathy card, so I chose not to color the flowers in the frame, but it would be very pretty colored, too.  Papers on this card, also from MHKDesigns, and found in the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop, are Serene Seaside digital papers.

Floral For You -- and QKR Stampede

Friiiiday!  Hurray!  Those of you who have been following my cancer journey with me, I had a PET scan last week, and I'm still in remission!  YES!

This week at QKR Stampede challenge blog, it's an Anything Goes theme, so link away!  (limit 3 projects per week).  I love to see you creative projects!

I used the Eureka Stamps Harvest Bouquet digi to create this card:

I colored Harvest Bouquet (ES-digi38501) with Copic markers.  I used a die to cut out the "for you" sentiment.  Papers are long retired from Close To My Heart. 

I hope you can join us this week at QKR Stampede Challenge blog.  I truly do enjoy seeing what you make!

Growing Goodness -- an MHKDesigns New Release

Hello, good friends!  I   I hope you are enjoying this month's New Releases at MHKDesigns as much as I am!  Make sure to start at the MHKDesigns blog, then comment on each designer's blog for your chance to win!  

This is a card I made using the new Growing Goodness Digital Stamp set, available in the MHKDesigns Etsy Shop.

I used one of the images from the Growing Goodness digital stamp set and colored it with Faber-Castell colored pencils.  MHKDesigns images are so easy to shade!  They take very little coloring.  I LOVE this sentiment, and it is part of the Growing Goodness set.  The papers, also from MHKDesigns, are the Positively Purple Patterned digital papers.
