Sketch Saturday - Sketch #385

It's the fifth Saturday of October, so that means your choice for a sketch to use!  Take a peek at the sketches from #215-375 and choose one for your card. I love these weeks - it's such a treat to go back and look through the old sketches.  There are some goodies!

Sami Stamps is our sponsor and the winner will receive a credit for $12 in her shop.  I've used her image called A Bundle of Dreams and combined it with Sketch #276 (from 2013).  The oval was the perfect shape for this image.  One would never know I'm not a purple gal by looking at my past few posts!  I've enjoyed playing around with combining my Copic BVs and Vs lately to given some color variation and kept it going for this baby card.

Play along with us this week.  Here's what the Sketch Saturday DT colored up for you to get you started!

A Day for Daisies Showcase - Green-Eyed Monsters

I hope you have been enticed by the Halloween week previews of the Green-Eyed Monster stamps at ADFD.  This week's showcase features 3x3 cards using the monsters!  Peter is my card's monster. I used a set of eyeballs from another monster, covered all of the eyes with Crystal Effects, and created a sentiment with my computer.  Love these versatile little monsters!  Take a peek at my last ADFD post to see how I used three other monster friends!

There's still a week remaining in our Make It A Treat Challenge on the ADFD blog.  There are some clever ideas in the gallery already!

Halloween Week Fun - ADFD!

We are having a little extra fun this week on the A Day for Daisies Blog and on the Facebook page.  Each day, two members of the DT are going to have a post featuring the Green Eyed Monsters stamp collection.

Because it's the week before the big kiddie candy fest in North America (a.k.a. Halloween), Arielle thought it would be fun to keep the sweet treat theme going.  I've made some treats for my grandkids using Monster Cindy and Monster Molly.  I had some square tubes in my stash and filled them with a couple of pieces of candy and cute Halloween straws I picked up at T.J. Maxx.   One of the tubes has fun size Twix, one has Life Savers, and the third has fun size M & M's.  I love how the tags turned out! The eyes have a little dimension because I used Crystal Effects on them.  Check the ADFD Blog or Facebook Page to see what else is in store!

A Day for Daisies - Challenge #132 Sweet Treats

The ADFD challenge for this fortnight is all about the treats!  With Halloween coming in a week, it's such a timely challenge.  We are challenging you to make a treat or a room decor item.  I used one of the Pumpkin Head girls to adorn my tin.  It's currently filled with candy, but I am sure the granddaughter who it's going to will put her treasures in it after the candy is gone!  Take a look at what the DT has for you here.

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #382

Alex is our sketch designer this week.  I pulled out an old stamp set from PTI, called Autumn Hills for my card.  I stamped on Soft Stone and used my colorless blender to add pattern to the hills I colored.
Our DT had a variety of takes on her idea, so pop over to the Sketch Saturday Blog and see what the gals have for you.  It's a Simon Says Stamp! sponsor week - and the generous prize is a $25 credit to use at their shop!  I hope to see your work in the gallery!

A Day for Daisies - Challenge #132: Add Black Lace

Here's another of the sweet, new witch digi stamps Tammy has created for October.  This one's called Little Witch On A Fence.  You can find them all in the ADFD Shop.

Our challenge for you for this fortnight is to add black lace.  Now if you are like me, and you don't have black lace, pull out your trusty Copics and color white or ecru lace!  It works wonderfully! That's what I did for my card.

Make a special stop at the ADFD blog to see what the DT has for you this week.  It's worth the trip!
