There's Magic in the Air Card Challenge

To further join the internet world, I am participating in my first card challenge. I found it at: http://theresmagicintheair.blogspot.com/ Nilla created the challenge "Mouse Candy" and gave a free digi stamp. The challenge was to use the digi stamp and the colors orange, black, and one additional color. I diverted from the challenge a little in that I use more colors (yellow, greens, and brown) than I was supposed to, but the mouse if very cute - and I did include some candy

Recent LO

This LO includes pictures taken at Foley's Pond. We went there so Maddox could catch frogs, and in the end we all had the most fun blowing bubble so the kids & Lila could chase and pop them. Lila would actually jump into the air trying to "get" them - she would jump really high, but unfortunately I could not snap pictures fast enough while she was in the air. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Fall Cards

Some Fall cards I made - I used lots of paper scraps. I bought I cute leaf punch over the weekend (Punch Bunch) and used it quite a bit on these cards. I have been trying out some new techniques, most scrap lifted from other blogs I have visited. I have also picked up some tips from mypinkstamper.com

Leaves are from the Punch Bunch paper punch. I scraplifted this card idea from a card I saw at Stamp Scrap & More in Libertyville - very nice LSS, paper is a scrap left over from last year - purchased at Archivers





Paper is from the Dollar bins at Target, used MS loop border punch. Cornucopias digi stamp colored with Prismacolor markers














More leaves from the Punch Bunch punch, paper is again from the Target dollar bins









Leaf is from a Fiskars squeeze punch - all the rest is from scraps (pattern paper bought last year at Archivers) ribbon purchased last year at Target (in the dollar bins)

Paper is from the Dollar bins at Target, scarecrow is digi stamp colored with Prismacolors, leaves are from a Fiskars Squeeze Punch (used glitter paper from a DCWV mat stack)
