Simon Says Stamp Children's Challenge

 

Ethan has been busy painting the last few days, so I thought I would enter his monster picture into the Simon Says Stamp Children's Challenge.

Halloween Card

I was dying to make a Halloween card after getting the new Authentique paper pad. The green paper is from Basic Grey. I die cut the letters from Smokey Shadow cardstock and the coffin is a Cuttlebug die cut. I used the heart border from PTI to make the little scallops along the bottom of the card and finished it off with some orange bling. Thanks for looking :)

Echo Park This and That Charming

I got this new paper pack during the week, and finally made a few layouts with it. Here are the first two from our holiday in Kilkenny last year.

10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge.

In an attempt to be more productive with my craft time, I'm joining the Pretty Pink Posh 10 Minute Craft Dash Challenge. This card took me 7 and a half minutes, a record time for me as I spend so much time faffing about. I used a bunch of scraps and PTI's Natural Beauties set. The leaves come from The Sweet Life. I also want to enter the Basic Grey challenge "Anything Goes". The green paper is from Basic Grey's PB&J paper pad. Thanks for looking :)

Altered Noticeboard.

I needed a noticeboard for my craft room, so I picked up this cheap one from a discount shop. It was only €4, so if my plans went horribly wrong it wouldn't be too much of a disaster! 

I sprayed the frame with black gloss spray paint first. However, the coverage wasn't great, so I went over the whole thing with black acrylic paint. I used some Alexander Henry fabric to cover the cork board. I attached it with scor-tape and then pushed the edges of the fabric into the frame with a scalpel. To finish, I hot glued some red buttons to the corners. The red and black buttons in the middle are hot glued onto push pins to jazz them up a bit. Looking at the picture, I realise I forgot to reattach the white board marker.

I plan on using the white board to keep track of any challenges I want to enter. I probably won't use the bottom part, because I like the fabric too much to cover it!

CASED Card

I saved an image of a card from Dawn McVey so I could case it, but I can't find the link back to it now. Found the link! I can't see myself ever getting tired of this stamp set...EVER!

Welcome Baby

I love this onesie die but I find it hard to embellish for some reason. I kept it simple and used my new photo finishers die for the sentiment. The duck image is from Night Night Moon, and I popped it up with some dimensionals.

Thanks for looking :)
