The stamps are from Inkadinkado, and the paper was given to me by a friend.

I wanted to show my gratitude to all of my followers for leaving me so many wonderful comments and encouraging me to become a better crafter. Thank you very much!

Celebrate the Occasion!

This week at Celebrate the Occasion we have a color challenge for you.

Red, Black and White

I wanted to make a Halloween theme card and this is what I came up with:

"I vant to suck your blood!"

Since the vampire was cut in four layers I needed to add a 4th color, grey.

I found the perfect background paper that tied the whole theme together. 

I also added googlie eyes to some of the dots on the background paper.

I had a lot of fun making this card. I hope you will join us over at CTO.

Thanks for stopping by.

Celebrate the Occasion

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
 and over at Celebrate the Occasion they are showing their support.

Having lost my mother when I was 7 years old to this disease. I hope that in my lifetime we make even more progress to finding a cure. So for all people out there, guys included, you have my support!

The tickets were a freebie last year, I just love all of the different sayings.

Here is a close up of the details.

I also decorated the inside of the card.

There is a sketch challenge waiting for you over at Celebrate the Occasion.

This is the card I made for an LOH friend.

I used my Sizzix folder to emboss the blue paper.

The flower is made using Recollections Boutique Fleur mini teardrop gems, and the stamp is a dollar find from Michael's.

The inside of the card was made using the scraps left from the front of the card.

Thanks for stopping by. Now head on over to the CTO blog and try out the sketch.

Welcome to another Celebrate the Occasion Challenge.

This week we were asked to make an easel birthday card.

My best friend's mom has a birthday next week and I thought this would be the perfect challenge to make her a card.

Celebrate The Occasion!

I am so excited to show you my first project as a DT member for Celebrate the Occasion. Team #2 was asked to make a kid's birthday card. I decided to make a card for a pre-teen/teen girl.

I used Create a Critter for the poodle and the stamp is from Hero arts.

Thanks for looking, now head back to CTO and see what the rest of team #2 has created and be inspired. We would love for you to come and join in on the fun. I promise to leave you wonderful comments

CTO "Blue and White" Challenge

Over at Celebrate the Occasion the challenge this week is a color challenge: blue and white.

I needed to make a card for my friend who is preggers. Her shower is coming up in a couple weeks and as luck would have it she is having a BOY! So it made this challenge perfect for my card.

All of the paper I used is from my scrap box. I have been on a mission to get that box down to a smaller pile. The stamps are from Inkadinkado, the button is from my stash, and the yarn is actually from the blanket and hat that I am crocheting for the baby.

I'm not sure why my ink turned out the way it did. Maybe because it was cheap.

This is the work in progress baby blanket my friend's baby will snuggle up to.

Thanks for visiting my blog. Head on over to CTO and enter your own cre8tion.

Celebrate The Occasion!

I have some exciting news to share with all of you today: I was selected to be on the design team over at Celebrate the Occasion!!! The best part of this news is that my sister was also chosen to be on the design team. I know we are going to have a great time making cards for CTO.

This is the birthday card that I made for the DT call.

I used the herringbone embossing folder from Cuttlebug, my paper doll dress up cartridge from Cricut, the face stamp is from My pink stamper, and the sentiment is from Stampin' up.

for the inside of the card I used stamps from Inkadinkado and Hero arts.

I made this card for my sister-in-laws father, "Papa Ken".

Thanks for visiting. -Yvette
