Trick or Treat...remember those vintage pumpkins?

I am quite honored to be guest designing for Quirky Crafts Challenges.  I am Guest designing for this two week challenge and here is a reminder for you..

For this challenge i was asked to use an image from Crackerbox Palace..and for this card i am using a digital called Pumpkin boy:

I really like this Pumpkin Boy image, it reminds me of vintage Halloween decorations.  He also has a cute expression.  I tried to make this card with a vintage look.  Seeing as it is a digital image you could really make this extra large and use it for decorations as well.  The sentiment would look good all by itself as a mini poster..or a tag on a card.  So many ideas!

I am quite honored to be guest designing for Quirky Crafts Challenges.  I entered a challenge and was chosen as the winner and then i was asked to guest design.  The is the best compliment ever.  Thank you Cazzy and Quirky Crafts DT!

For this challenge i was asked to use an image from a company i've not heard of before called Crackerbox Palace..i love hearing about new stamp places!

This stamp is called Helen with Coffee and is available as a digital image as well as a rubber stamp from Crackerbox Palace.

 I wanted to use this stamp because i have a very dear friend that must have her coffee in the morning before she can function.  I've made this card for her because my friend makes me smile and i was hoping this would make her smile as well.  Using dies on a card can make the card look fancy with minimal amount of work.  I like to hand cut my images out and this one was a bit challenging and fun because of the hair.

The die i used to mat my image is from Noor/Joy Craft and is the fancy rectangle. I made the sentiment on my computer.
