Bite Me. | Fancy Friday Blog Hop

Welcome to another Fancy Friday blog hop!
This month's challenge is a sketch challenge created by our very own, Jennifer Timko!
I was a little stuck on the background... I could picture Jane Lee colouring with her aqua painter in bermuda bay, strawberry slush and coastal cabana... and her uber cute banners.. But.. well...
 I just have had too much Halloween in my brain and I came up with this!
And honestly... if a sketch inspires you.
Well.
That's just the point, isn't it?

In this card, I used water-colour paper and heat embossed the spider webs from the "Bite Me" stamp set in white powder.  Then I coloured over top using my black refill ink and my aqua painter. 
Cool, huh?!?

I am in DisneyWorld right now so if you are around - pop by and see me!! 
OK, pop me a message first!

Now make sure you play along with this sketch by linking it to your projects in the comments below!
Hop along to Cindy!

Cheers!
Cathy

My Paper Pumpkin Challenge: What Makes you Smile Project #4


Wow - it's another Paper Pumpkin project!

I absolutely love the die cuts in this kit... it just makes me want to hoard them forever and ever. Mostly I like to scrapbook them... Yup, I adore it!

So, the card on the left is the die cut I used to sponge the "Thanks" on the card on the right.  It's hard to tell in the photo.  I had a hard time throwing out that "dirty" die cut so I made a quick card! It's almost like a 2 for 1 deal!!

This is the last project for the My Paper Pumpkin Challenge for September - Make sure you play along with the challenge by the end of the month!  Click on the icon below for more info!

Project Life with My Paper Pumpkin | My Paper Pumpkin Challenge Project #2

 This kit was MADE for Project Life.

With its envelopes that you could use in the pockets or as shown above to have it separate.  Its great to hold kids accessories, etc.

I also threw in the sequins on this Project Life card from the "Little Moments" card collection.  Doilies are also a great addition to any PL kit.

And who doesn't love those feathers.

Most importantly, this box was created for the tags challenge at
