Craft Dee BowZ Challenge for October

Hi Everyone,
If you are looking for the Sparkle N Sprinkle Challenge and Reveal post click here.

I'm so glad you stopped by today.Welcome to my post for my project for the October Craft-Dee BowZ Challenge.

Since its October  are you decorating for Halloween? What a fun time for the kids, getting dressed up, carving pumpkins, eating candy!!! Oh yes, there are the Halloween costume parties for the grown-ups as well.

Since we are getting ready for Halloween, here is a cute card ready to be sent. Hey!!, wouldn't this make a cute Halloween party invitation!!!

This pumpkin is so cute and it's a favorite of mine. I decided to dress the card up with purple Prima flowers. Those sparkly leaves are made from vellum, colored with markers  and then I added glitter to the vein areas and  and I can't forget....there's the purple and black bow. I used 2 different ribbons and love how it turned out. That purple ribbon is really spectacular, it has glitter already on it, plus it's wired (my favorite kind of ribbon) so it really made a fabulous bow.

Here's a closer view of that bow. And I used my Craft-Dee BowZ to make it.

Just a glimpse of the sparkly leaf and some of those Prima Flowers that I layered with orange glitter added to the centers.

The Craft-Dee BowZ challenge for October has begun and it would be great to see your project over on their blog as an entry. And you can submit anything, doesn't need to be a Halloween project. The theme is always Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.Click here to go over to the Craft-Dee BowZ blog and send us your submission.

I will be back tomorrow with my normal 1st Tuesday of the month post for Craft-Dee BowZ , one day later this month. Hope you stop back 'cause I have something really cute to show you.

The Cornish Heritage Farms Challenge

Hello Everyone

What a busy weekend I had. I worked at the Stamplistic booth at a Creating Keepsakes show in Buffalo N.Y. and did make and takes. I met a lot of great people from the US and Canada. Just a quick thanks to all of you who did my make and take!!

Today is the first challenge at Cornish Heritage Farms.There will be a new challenge every other Tuesday at the Cornish Heritage Farms Blog. We would love to have you play along too.

Frances is the challenge hostess for this first challenge .She has challenged us to "Anything Goes". So for my card this week I designed a wedding card.

Since June is the traditional wedding month and it's right around the corner, I thought a wedding card would be a great card to showcase. The digi stamp I used is perfect for this wedding card. I printed it out on white card stock then I fussy cut the dress out and added tulle to it to make the dress really look like a bride's dress. Next, I made a veil, using more tulle and pearl beads. For my last step, I textured the white shimmer paper panel and added an oval with glitter and flowers.

Supplies I used:

digi stamp - Dress1 - 2043

tulle

Pearls

Card stock - white shimmer, pink shimmer

Pink Glitter

Pink Flowers

Oval from Cuttlebug Plus A-2 Embossing Folder - Carly
