Jaded Blossom Monthly Challenge

Hi all... not only am I back but I'm posting twice in one day... Yep, I pulled all my paper out of the boxes and went to work!  Even though my stamps and ink are boxed, I was able to track them down and find what I needed. 

While digging in my boxes to find my Halloween stamps I came across a set I have only used once.  I have always wanted to use this adorable witch but never thought of the perfect idea.  well, when i saw the challenge, I knew what I could do. 

I created a set of Halloween cards 3 similar but different versions and all very simple to create.

 

 

Materials used:

Green, orange, and purple cardstock

Halloween themed background paper

Jaded Blossom Journal die from the Layered frame and Journal die set

Jaded Blossom's Witch character from Best Witches

Green, orange, and purple chalk ink

Timeless Twine - Black & Kraft

Jaded Blossom Sentiment from Halloween Candies

1 1/2 inch EK Tools scalloped circle punch

1 inch EK Tools circle punch

At You Spika Pens

 

I sure hope you like them.  They were a great start back into my crafting world. 

Thanks JB ladies for creating yet another great challenge.

 

~Enjoy~

 

 

 

I'm Back!

I know, I know. It's been a really long time since I've posted on my blog and I apologize from the bottom of my heart to everyone who's been checking my page. My husband and I recently (well, 3 months ago) bought a home on some property in an area we've dreamed of living in for the last 7 years. Needless to day, not only have we been busy setting up our life here but my crafts have been in boxes.

I got most of my items unpacked and organized and the only thing I could think of was making a wreath for our front door. I found an idea that I loved and went to work. Here's the pictures I found for inspiration... That's right, I'm a pinner. Addicting. lol

 

And here's what the final product ended up looking like. 

 

 

Materials used:

Grapevine wreath

Burlap tape

Burlap ribbon (green and natural)

White country fabric

Lots of hot glue

Wide ribbon to hang

 

I sure hope you like it.  I'm pretty sure I smile and admire it daily when I open the door to come into the house.
