Trick or Treat ~ Viva La Verve

Scroll down to next posts for the Verve Spotlight Hops

 Good morning friends!  Happy Saturday!  I have a fun glammed out Halloween card for you today using this week’s Viva La Verve sketch!  I figure if we can use non traditional colours for Christmas, how about for Halloween as well?  I added some sparkle to the web doilies by brushing them with liquid pearls.  This card would be perfect for the Verve Inspiration challenge going on now until November 5th!  Thanks for stopping by!  And if you haven’t checked it out yet, head over to the Verve Store to see what’s new!










stamps: Boo to You (Verve)
accessories: Pink Sparkle Sequin Mix, Signature Sequin Mix (Verve)

Happy Halloween ~ Viva La Verve

Hi friends!  Wow, what a couple of busy weeks I’ve had.  Thanks for not thinking I’d fallen off the planet, just super busy with work and school.  I’m keeping my eyes on the prize, though, so busy is good right now.  After an all-day field trip on Tuesday, I was too tuckered to do anything but stamp! HA!  I broke out some new Verve and went to town creating the first Halloween card of the year with the Masquerade set and Mask Die Set along with the Pennant Trim Die.  I’m playing with Stacey’s sketch from the Viva La Verve blog.  Be sure to head over there to find out how you could win some BIG Verve goodness by playing with the sketches this month.  Take care and see you soon!

Happy Halloween ~ Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge

Good morning!  Hi everyone!  It’s October 1st!  YIKES!  Time is zooming right along!  There’s a brand new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge up and ready to go…

Neat & Tangled Stamps is our sponsor this time round and graciously gave each Design Team member a fun Halloween set to play with.  I chose Halloween Scene so I created a sweet little black and white scene :)  I knew I HAD to bring back some of that gorgeous Halloween ribbon that I use every year…I still just adore it!  What a fabulous hit of colour!  Head over to the Curtain Call Inspiration blog to see more amazing projects and read up on how YOU could win some Neat & Tangled stamps :)  Thanks for stopping by and spending a few sweet moments with me :)

Hello Pumpkin!

Okay, I didn’t technically have a card for you today, so I thought I’d share a couple of mini cards I made a while back with that fabulous Michaels ribbon!  AND it ties like a dream :)  These are only 3 x 3 but perfect for tucking into a lunch box with a little treat of candy corn!  LOL

Hope your week is going well.  The trades have been a little slow starting at the house this week :(  I didn’t go up yesterday, but will today.  The dh says the plumber and electrician crews should be there (fingers crossed!).  Hugs to you and come back bright and early tomorrow morning for the new Viva La Verve Sketch :)  Hugs and smiles,

How about a Treat? New stamp set!

Good Monday morning!!  I know I seem to say this every Monday, but this week is going to be CRAZY!! Two field trips (Pumpkin Patch tomorrow and Young People’s Concert Thursday) AND lots of action at the new house…the “plan” is for the toilets, sinks and faucets to go in today, electrical (including lighting) on Tuesday/Wednesday, painting mid week and the down stairs flooring to start on the weekend (yay for the studio!).  BUT enough of that…how about a little announcement if you haven’t heard?  Julee has quietly released a sweet little Halloween set over in the Verve Store…but there are limited quantities right now, so if you have your heart set on having this right now, order today! 

How adorable are those sweet ghosties?  And that sentiment “stuck on you?!”  I chose to use “Trick or Treat” as I’m thinking this is going to a coworker and didn’t want to send out the wrong message!! LOL  I did add some cute little hearts cut with my From the Heart dies.  AND did you notice?  More of that fabulous Michaels ribbon!!  A friend here in town saw my card a few weeks ago made with my last piece and let me know that Michaels still had some (though it came out last year!).  I went that very day and picked up 3 rolls at $1.00 each!! SCORE (and thanks Karen!).  Sending you all smiles and hugs :)
