Halloween Card

Happy Halloween! (almost) I made this card for the Card Sharks challenge at Memorable Seasons. Papers and brads are My Mind's Eye "Boo to You."

Got Sketch?

I was asked to contribute a sketch to the Got Sketch? blog this week. I absolutely love the sketch this week! Here is my layout for sketch91. I used SEI Moravia papers and the scalloped strip in the middle is a Basic Grey Marrakech cardstock sticker.

Dahlia Flower Tutorial

The design team was asked to do a tutorial at our Think Pink Crop this weekend at Memorable Seasons. Here is an example of the Dahlia flower. Mine is a little bit simpler than some of the other ones I have seen but I think it is just as pretty.

Supplies needed:
circle punch
8 circles of doubles sided patterned paper
1 circle of scrap paper (for the base of the flower)
adhesive
button, brad, or bling for the center

1. Fold each patterned paper circle in to point.
***Allow a generous amount of overlap of the folds in order to fit all 8 pieces around the base of the flower.

2. Fold your scrap paper circle into quarters. This will be the base of the flower

3. Apply adhesive to the circle and use the quarters as a guide to add the 8 folded petals.

4. Add a button, brad, or bling to the center of the flower. I use a glue dot or pop dot to adhere the button.

How Do You Take Care of Yourself?

At our Think Pink Crop this weekend at Memorable Seasons the design team challenge is to make a layout about how you take care of yourself. One thing I like to do is treat myself to a cup of coffee every morning with hazelnut creamer. And if I am honest it's not really the coffee I want it's the hazelnut creamer. I don't know what they put in it but it's pretty addictive...
I used Creative Scrappers Sketch #64 for this layout.
