Mojo Monday

Here is the sketch that we had to use:






















Here is the card that I made:



















I used the Hous of Haunts stamp set from my Stampin' Up collection, Basic Black Cardstock, Pumpkin Pie Textured Cardstock, Whisper White Cardstock, and Cast A Spell paper. Simple card to make, and probably not my best work, but I like the way it turned out.

Card Holders/Candy Holders

Here are so ADORABLE boxes that I found in the blog world. I used the Yoyo Yellow Cardstock along with the Cast-A-Spell paper from non other than SU! I used the Summer Picnic paper for the small box.

Here are the insides of the boxes....

Hope you enjoyed this post,

Pretty Purses and a Backpack

I came across templates for these, and I decided to make these lovely purses. You can either make them the way I did here or not put the extra oval in the center.

I used the Rasberry Tart Designer paper for the pink purse along with the Pink Passion cardstock. I used the Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper along with the Pumpkin Pie cardstock. These were all Stampin' Up! of course.

I made this cute little backpack from Loves Me Designer Paper. It was a lot harder to make this than I thought, but I didn't have all the right tools to make the holes where I needed them. There are a number of people that make this backpack so I thought that it would be cool to make it. My daughter knew what it was when I was done with it, so I don't think that I messed it up.

Thanks for taking a peek,

Stamp with fun Challenge/Belli Challenge

We had to use a Autumn or Halloween theme and use things that we had laying around for the Belli Challenge and here is the sketch that we had to use for Stamp with fun:


Here is the card that I made:

I had SOO much fun with this one. The stamp sets I used were Deseos pequenitos (also available in English: Teeny Tiny Wishes) and House of Haunts stamp set from Stampin' Up!. I also used my Word Window and Photo Corners punches which are also from Stampin' Up!. I actually burnt the edges of the yellow and white of the card!!! My daughter said "Mommy mommy you can't do that!" I made sure that I let her know only adults can do this and only over water, because I was doing it over the sink. I left the ashy look on the white of the card, because I thought it just gave it more of a Halloween look. I made the candy corn all on my own by trial and error. Some of them look funny, and other look good. I'm happy with the way it turned out though.

Thanks,
Maxine

1 Card 4 Challenges

This has been a busy week for me. To save some time, I thought that I could still do my challenges, and do one card for multiple challenges.

Here was a sketch that we had to use for Stampin for the Weekend:


I also entered Cupcake Craft Challenges where we had to use Pearls and Swirls, Tuesday Morning Sketches where we had to use ribbon, and A Spoon Full of Sugar where we had to use Autumn.
Here is my card:

The stamp sets I used for this card were Baroque Motifs stamp set for the swirly background of the card and the swirly background of my pumpkin images, Autumn Harvest Stamp set for the images and Deseos Pequenitos stamp set (which is also available in English "Teeny Tiny Whishes") all from Stampin' Up!. I used my Twill Tape Ribbon in 3/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch which I colored in Autumn colors and stamped the other image on. For my punches I used the Word Windo punch for the sentiment, the Modern Label punch for the piece behind the sentiment and the Photo Corners punch for the inside of the card.

Thanks for looking,
Maxine

I found this entry on Katharina's blog:
My friend Erin (Scrap, Stamp and be Merry) told me about a terrible accident which happened to her 13 year old neighbor Paige. She lost her arm in a boating accident recently and is now recovering in the hospital. She and her family are going through a very hard time and my heart is suffering with them. Erin is calling for help to cheer Paige up (a positive mood is the best help during recovery). And what would be better than flooding her hospital room with cards from all over the world? I already got my card ready and will post it on monday. You can read all the details on Erin's blog. It would be great if some of you would join in and send a card to Paige: Paige Welch at Boston Children's Hospital, 300 Longwood Ave., Boston, MA 02115, United States
This was a very sad thing for me to read. I could not imagine a child going through this. Here is the card that I made and sent to her


Hope you guys can send her a card as well.
Thanks,
Maxine
