Happy Halloween

This is a Jeannie/Vicki Challenge card. I needed a break from wedding stuff today so I said something to Jeannie about we need to do a card and she wanted to make one too. I only had flowers and rings on my mind so I told Jeannie I couldn't come up with something to do so she took on the task of finding us our next cut. She picked one of the trees from Stretch Your Imagination. As soon as I looked at the cart I knew exactly what tree I was going to use. I have been seeing all the halloween and fall cards that all of you are posting and that inspired me. I have know from day one of getting Pooh and Friends that I wanted to use those pumpkins so it all worked out just fine. I am really proud of this card. I love the paper, this is the new fall pack of paper from DCWV called Indian Summer. I absolutely love it. When I saw it I knew those orange colors would make perfect pumpkins. I hope you enjoy looking at this one as much as I enjoyed making it. Thank you for looking and thank you for commenting. Thank you Jeannie for getting my mind off of wedding stuff....

SYI- tree cut at 3 1/2" twice and layered- the I cut out the leaves and just glued them wherever I thought needed a leaf

PDDU- cat cut in black- because halloween cats need to be black- I used my white gel pen for his face. The cat is cut at 3". The moon is also PDDU and is cut 3 times on flip and layered with glue dots. The bats are cut at 1 1/2" Pumkin on the inside is cut at 3"

Pooh and Friends. The pumpkins are cut at 2 3/4" once in green and three times with the layers. I alternated what color paper I was going to use for the top of the pumkins so all three would be different.

Wild Card- the word Boo on the front of the card is cut at 3" and the Happy Halloween on the inside is cut at 5".

Thank you all for your comments, they mean so much.... Do forget to check out my blog. I still have the blog candy up for grabs.... All you need to do is become a follower and leave me a message.

Pooh and friends - Vicki's take

Yea!, Jeannie and I got our challenge in this week. While we were trying to figure out what we were going to do for our challenge this week Jeannie looked on her calendar and noticed that August was National Pooh friends month. So of course we decided to do a pooh card. I have to tell you guys I struggled with this card. I knew right from the start what I wanted to do on the inside of the card. I knew I had to use this Winnie the Pooh quote....It was a must. Now all I had to do was build a card around a quote. That should be easy enough....wrong....I couldn't figure it out at all until last night. I sat down at my craft table and looked at the Pooh quote and the card just came to me. I hope you like the end result. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Pooh and Friends- Pooh cut out at 3" twice in black on shadow and once on regular cut in the pooh color. I used glue dots to pop him off the card. The butterfly is also from Pooh cut at 1" twice. I glued the butterfly together just in the center so it would look like it was flying. The catepillar was cut at 3/4". I had to use a catepillar so it would relate to the butterfly.

Beyond Birthdays- Hello Friend cut at 2"

Plantin Schoolbook- scallop along the edge cut at 1" and I trimmed off one hump.

Zooballoo- grass cut at 2" on regular cut for the back of the grass and then on shift lowercase for the shorter grass.

The flowers are a punch and I added brown stickles to the center of the flowers and inked the whole card.

I love you card

This is another Jeannie/Vicki challenge card. I believe this turned out to be one of my favorite cards that I have done to date. I just love the hefalumps and woozles stories with Pooh anyway. Jeannie and I decided to make a card using Lumpy the hefalump from Pooh and Friends. We also decided to use a love you theme. I used the I love you more and Jeannie used the I'll love you forever. I came up with my I love you more because when my son was small he used to tell me I love you and I would say I love you more and he would say, no I love you more... and so on. I thought it worked great with this card.

Lumpy was cute out at 3" several times and layered. I also cut the butterfly out from Pooh and friends and put it on lumpy's trunk. The grass is Zooballoo and the flowers are George. I love the flowers from George especially when they are layered so many times. The flowers on the inside of the card are also pooh and friends. I almost forgot the clouds are also from Pooh and Friends.

Thank you Jeannie for wanting to do Challenges with me!

I hope you enjoy

Hello Friend

This was the second challenge that Jeannie and I did and I believe it is one of my all time favorite cards. For this card we used the flowers from Pooh. I cut them at 3" and layered them 3 times each. I used the Nanna's Baby girl paper too. I used lots and lots of glue dots too. I honestly don't think I can make a flat card anymore. The hello birthday is from beyond birthday cut out at 2" and the butterflies are from indie art. I cut them out in sizes of 1 1/4", 1",3/4" and 1/2" and layered them. I hope you enjoy looking at this card as much as I enjoyed making it.

Baby cards

Here are a few more baby cards that I have made. The first one is the giraffe from New addition. I cut is at 2 3/4", Little one is also from New addition cut at 2" and then I added ribbon.

The purple elephant is also from New addition. I cut it at 3" and the butterfly is from Pooh and Friends cut at 3/4". I added ribbon to the corners and cut the george flowers out and layered them several times and put them on the ribbon. I added flat diamond beads to the ribbons. I drew the face on by hand.

The last one uses the giraffe from Animal Kingdom. I cut it at 3" and the branch is from Zooballoo. I inked the leaves and the sentiment is computer generated. I added ribbon to the corners of this one as well. I hope you enjoy them.

Teacher Thank you cards

One of the ladies that I work with asked me if I could make her 4 Thank you cards. 3 for teachers and one for the principal. I wanted all of them to be different and this is what I came up with.

The owl is from paper doll dressup and is cut at 3" and the Thanks is from George

The #1 teacher apple is from DoodleCharms and is cut at 3" and the font is from Plantin Schoolbook.

The chalkboard is from Pooh and Friends, the font is Plantin Schoolbook and the apple is doodlecharms. The lady bugs are walk in my garden and the catepillar is from stretch your imagination.

The bushel of apples is from Pooh and friends and the thank you is from beyond birthdays. I used lots and lots of pop glue dots and lots of layers on all of these cards.
