Day 214

Day 214 at 365 cards was to leave white space and follow this pattern. The strips of paper are from DCWV "Old World" cardstack, the brads on the side are from Paper Wishes, and the bats on the top were punched from paint chips. It looks like it needs a big pumpkin in the middle. All my Sept. challenges are now completed....Phew!

Day 213

Day 213 at 365 cards was a paper piecing challenge using the pumpkin. You could also use face parts if you wanted to make a Jack-O-Lantern. I decided to keep mine simple. I used CTMH for the orange, white cs for the ghosts, Miss Elizabeth paper for the stem and leaf, DCWV "Old World" cardstack for the background, and ribbon from the dollar bin at Target. I also used a black gel pen to mark the pumpkin, leaf and stem.

Day 212

Day 212 at 365 cards was to put fringe on either edges of your card. A co-worker is retiring so I made this card for all of us to give to her. She's 74 yrs. old and drives a bus for developmentally disabled folks. She had one of the worst runs as far as distance, snowfall, etc. God Bless ya Kitty! The paper is DCWV "Nana's Kids" cardstack, the cs is CTMH, the fringe is actually eyelash yarn that I knit fancy scarves out of, the crocheted flower is something I made, and the brad is from my stash.

Day 211

Day 211 at 365 cards was Sketchy Sunday. I took some liberties with the design. I used CTMH paper, unmarked ribbon I got at Target, cats, pumpkins, and a bat punched out of paint chips, a charm (it's silver but looks black on here) from a kit, and Penny Black stamps. I used a $ store gel pen with sparkles to make the stitches in the corner (hard to see.)

Day 210 and Penny Black Sat. Challenge

Day 210 on 365 cards was to do some sanding on your card. I ran my CTMH yellow cs through my Cuttlebug using the hearts folder. I then sanded it with fine sandpaper. I love how the CTMH cs has the white core...makes it great for sanding and distressing.
The Penny Black challenge was to use chocolate, pink and yellow on your card along with a Penny Black sentiment or stamp. I used the hedgehog, sentiment, and bee. I used Copic markers to color the hedgehog and the bee.

Day 209

Day 209 Challenge at 365 cards was to use a Jungle theme. I used a CTMH stamp from "In the Wild" and CTMH background paper from the Expedition set. I made the sentiment on word pad. I had the jute and brads hanging around. I love this monkey and the background paper.

Day 208

Day 208 at 365 cards was a challenge combo. We had to use 3 challenges, 1 each from June, July and August. I used June 29, Use all 4 seasons on your card with the SU tree stamps, July 27, Sponging on the background, and August 27, Going Vintage with the little buttons. The ink is CTMH breeze and cocoa, and the cs on the back of the trees is CTMH twilight.
