Happy Halloween

Hi everyone!  I'm here today with a Halloween one layer card.....using Fall-o-Ween by Julie Day from Market Street Stamps.  I could not wait to get my hands on this set.  This set is jam packed with images for both Halloween and Thanksgiving! 

Creating this little scene was soo simple with these images.  I love how Julie even captured jack-o-lanterns with this set!  Look at that cute little face!  For my pumpkin, I did cut the stem off my stamp so it was more easy to ink up in green. *gasp*

I wanted to share the little wood fencing that is also included in this set.  Here I've used just the tips of the posts and stamped them once and then again in between the previous posts.  I love how it looks!

I'm playing along with the colourQ challenge since it uses these colors!  I wanted to point out the banner in this inspiration photo.....isn't it just so fun??  I'm definitely going to have to try one of those..........hmmm, maybe I need to look for Halloween material after the season!



 Thanks so much for joining me here today! I'm going to link this up over at The Pink Elephant for their Halloween Challenge!

Happy Fall and ColourQ

Hi there!  Amy here with you via the Market Street blog!  As I write this post to tell you how I enjoy the fall weather, it is a crazy 70 degrees here in Kansas.  Beautiful beautiful weather!  This is my type of weather too!  All this aside, I thought I would share one last "FALL" card with you since we are now heading into the Holiday season. 

This card uses the wonderful Autumn Greetings set.  I thought I would use this set one last time for a "fall" theme.  I chose to go a different route with my card today.......CAS.  Well, that is except for the colored little scarecrow.  I wanted him front and center! 

I layered a couple of cardstock color panels down the side with one being stamped with the Pretty Perfect Grid background stamp and then stamped a simple sentiment and added a button!  Have you checked out Autumn Greetings?  It isn't only for fall themed cards.......it has a fabulous floral image too.  I'll be sure to show you more with that later!

I haven't played along with the girls over at the ColourQ for a long time but when I sat down to make this card, I needed a little help with some colors and this week's color palette was perfect!!  I do not own any Rich RazzleBerry so I improvised and colored using my Prismas and OMS and I did find a button in my stash that matched it pretty well (it's showing up dark here).  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Wahoo!  I posted again this week!  I've been in a slump but new goodies certainly get the creative juices flowing!  Here is my card for this week's ColourQ challenge. 

I just received this The Cat's Pajamas pinwheel die in the mail yesterday and just had to break it out!  Paired that with those awesome Gertie papers from My Mind's Eye.  This pinwheel die works fabulous with those double sided papers and I got to use my mini brads again!

Here's the gorgeous color inspiration from ColourQ! 

I have to leave you with a pic of my DD.......yesterday was Kindergarten Roundup!  She is soo excited to start but not so sure mommy is!!!

Buttons....Buttons....

So are the rest of you following all the PTI anniversary challenges?  Wow!  There are a lot and I've chosen to play along with using buttons in a creative, unique way!  Well since PTI is coming out with their own line of stamps to make button cards, I thought, "hey!  I have some of those".  I scored big this past summer when I found a LOAD of these vintage buttons still on their cards!  This particular button card had 1957 stamped on the back!  So instead of hoarding my supplies (something my friend Jen and I talked about today), I decided to get out some things that I have had since last summer!

The button card:

My card:

Not only did I use my vintage button card find, I made my own paper buttons!  I die cut the smallest Spellbinders circles, punched holes, and threaded the buttons.  I did stamp my buttons with an image from Background Basics: Botanicals.

I don't have the Love Lives Here stamp set YET but I do have the dies and have been itching to use this tiny house.  I masked off the house portion to stamp Haystack Pallette ink for the rooftop.  Then using Background Basics: Text Style to add some text to the house portion.  My house is layered on a Sweet Blush die cut circle from the Love Lives Here dies and then layered further on a Martha Stewart decorative tag.  Everything you see has been shabbied up with Haystack Pallette ink with a sponge.

The colors were inspired by this week's Play Date Cafe challenge for vintage and pink/kraft and also by ColourQ for virtually the same colors......so I am sending this over!  I also stamped on some pattern paper and Dana, from Kismet, Art, and Life, challenged us to do this on over at Do More With Less blog.
