Inspiration Saturday - Sweet Gifts!

Hi friends!

Today is double duty - I'm hosting TWO challenges 

at Splitcoaststampers that just happened to land on the same day :)

Later today, I have a challenge in the Snow Globe VSN

but first ...... it's Inspiration Saturday!

It is a great honor to be the co-host with the amazingly talented Angela Bode!

The chosen site is LTD Commodities and it has a little something for everyone.

In a nutshell, the idea is you look through the site, 

find a page/item that inspires you and create a card based on that photo.

I love this site in the forum as it's a wonderful springboard

for many of my cards that I come up with over the weekend :)

 

What did I chose?

Peppermint candy!

 I was inspired by my recent haul of House Mouse stamps 

and spotted this peppermint  jar in the catalog. 

  I remembered this stamp in my haul:  Carrying Mints 

and put the card together after coloring it with my copics.

The sentiment is from another stamp set ;)

 

If you'd like to stop by and play along,

head on over to the SCS forum!

10 more days until Happy Christmas!

Big hugs, bigger blessings!

WOYWW 225 ~ Trick or Treat!

I can't believe we are almost in October! 

This is such an incredibly busy time of year for us - with the kids schools full speed ahead, extra curricular activities and the promise of a beautiful Fall filled with Harvest events, we're blessed!

Today I'm jumping in on the wonderfully fun WOYWW event,

hosted by Julia Dunnit over at Stamping Ground.  It's wonderful to see the posts all around the globe and peek at different crafts in progress!  It's hugely embarrassing to have a messy, messy desk but I've been short on time!  Keeping up with the house is a must, my craft room not so much :)

Here's a peek at my current card in progress ~ 

House Mouse "Candy Corn Treats"!  

And the inside of my card ...

And my completed card, heading off next month to my very best friend!

Her birthday happens to land on Halloween - yep, October 31st!

She has never liked her birthday falling on Halloween so I went with a cuter version with these little Trick 'o Treaters.

I love all things Fall, too, so we have only Harvest into our home

 rather than the spookier side ;)

That's a wee trip around my craft desk and card for today!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'll enter this card into the House Mouse HMFMC154

Challenge "monochromatic"

and the Simon Says Stamp challenge to use a product from their store,

and Die Cuttin Divas ~ colors of Fall

Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!
