Week of Halloween is finally here!

Here it is.....the week of Halloween!  I'm sure my kids thought it would never get here!  It's also the last week of the Clear it Out Challenge Blog's Halloween/Orange challenge!


For this tag, I used the QKR Stampede stamp pumpkins.  I colored them in with my Tombow Art Markers.  The black dot paper is Echo Park Happy Halloween.  I used some halloween colored ribbon and some buttons from my stash.  BTW I used a sketch from Operation Write Home Blog.  This is a wonderful organization that receives cards and then sends them out to the US Troops overseas. 


 As I've said before, I don't sent Halloween cards but this will be super sweet on a scrapbook page layout!

Thanks again to our great sponsors for this 3 week challenge!   This challenge only lasts a few more days.....get your entry in for a chance to win some digis!!

Happy Halloween!

For this second week of the Clear It Out Challenge I made a super cute tag using a Digi Darla digi stamp.  It says she's actually a wizard, but I still think she's cute!


I used Tombo Art markers to color her.  The paper and "Oct. 31" rub-on are Fancy Pants October 31.  I also used Bazzill bling, black string and Crystal stickles.  She will ultimately go on a scrapbook page!

There is still two more weeks to go on this challenge!  The theme is HALLOWEEN and the stash item is ANYTHING ORANGE!  Get to it!

Thanks again to our sponsors they are awesome!  Check them out!

{Spooky} Halloween!

It's that time of year again when the ghosts and goblins start appearing around your neighborhoods!  Although this tag says "spooky" it's really very sweet!

Clear It Out Challenge Blog is at it again with another great challenge!  The theme is HALLOWEEN and the stash item is SOMETHING ORANGE.


We have a new sponsor for this challenge, Stitchy Bear.  This image was colored with Tombo Art markers.  The paper is Echo Park Happy Halloween.  I used a Basic Grey brad and the letters and banner are from Making Memories Design Shop Halloween.  I don't send Halloween cards, but with two kids who trick-or-treat every year, this tag will no doubt go on a page perfectly!

I am utilizing the sketch at Seize the Sketch and entering it on their challenge blog as well!


Be sure to check out Stitchy Bear and the other sponsors for this week's challenge for great digi stamps!

Giving Thanks (part 2)!!

This second week of Thanksgiving cards for Clear It Out Challenge and I have this happy lil scarecrow from Lacy Sunshine Stamps and More!

The stash item is a left over sentiment and this "Happy Thanksgiving" rubon came from a package of holiday wishes that I had used the Christmas and Easter sayings from.  Again using my Tombow Art markers and scraps to complete this sweet card!



The sketch came from Seize the Sketch, however, I didn't make their deadline to enter, but this is a great sketch!!


Thanks to our sponsors for this challenge, please go visit them and share the love!

Giving Thanks!

Happy October everyone!   The Clear it Out Challenge blog is celebrating Thanksgiving this month.  and the stash item is to use a leftover sentiment.  This was a challenge for me!



This card is brought to you by The Stamping Chef.  I used "I Want Pie"and colored her in with my Tombo Art Markers.  I added buttons and ribbon to look like a pumpkin and apple (for the pie!) and a little bit of Distress Stickles (Rock Candy) on her hat!  This sentiment came from a set of Friskars stamps.



Next card is brought to you by Bugaboo Stamps.  This image is called "Jar - Autumn."  I used my Tombo Art Markers again for this one a little bit of bling on the corner and scraps for the paper.  This sentiment came from a page of "Thanksgiving Sentiments" that I had cut a few out of already.

Thanks for looking and be sure to check out Clear It Out Challenge Blog for other beautiful designs by the DT!  Oh and don't forget to link up your creation!  Check out our sponsors too, they are AWESOME!
