Kitty Halloween Greeting

For the Sweet Pea Stamps New Artist Blog Hop Click HERE

This was a fun Halloween card to put together. I love the sparkly designer paper! I added black fine glitter to Toby's hat to make it match just right! I cut the bottom of the broom off and I made my own out of some brown fibers just for fun. Digital Delights by Louby Loo has some adorable images for Halloween! You can see them all here.

Mo's Digital Challenge #51-Alter It

For the Sweet Pea Stamps New Artist Blog Hop Click HERE

I found these cute CD calendars (2011) at Michael's a few weeks ago. They were a steal and I thought they'd be fun to make into Christmas gifts. I use the base sheet, but add my own art instead of what they have printed. The colors are fun and I think they will be fun to create!
I hope you will find time to alter something this week with us! Don't forget to check out the samples all the girls at Mo's Challenge have to share with you!

Now I'll share a bit about my project for this challenge. I found this cool canvas somewhere in m my stash. I grabbed it long ago, thinking it would be perfect for a project someday. It's one of the think canvases so it was perfect to cover. I had so much fun creating this. I was thinking a while back how a few of the Magnolia Stamps would look cute trick or treating together. I chose these three, but there's so many that it would work for hehe. I hope you can join us for this challenge!!

Magnolia Cowgirl Tilda with Hidden Gift

I am not really a fan of the "western" style....but boy do I like the way my "western" themed cards turn out! This adorable Tilda is "Cowboy Tilda" by Magnolia. She's from the Bon Voyage Collection. My tag gift card holder is a hidden element. The panel Tilda is on is raised up with the really thick dimensional adhesive to allow the tag to pass beneath. I love how it turned out!

Pure White

When I started to do this project it didn't really dawn on me that I was doing a white card with "Snow White"...but how cool hehe. I am a huge fan of Sassy Studio images and was so lucky to win 3 in one of their challenges a few weeks ago. I just couldn't go without a cute dwarf to make the picture just right. This dwarf is a coloring page image that I merged with the Sassy Studio Snow White using Photo Shop. I am thrilled with how cute they are together! If you've never tried an all - white project...you need to! They are lots of fun!
