Penny Black Saturday - October Challenge

      Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE.
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Too Cute to Spook!'
I haven't played along with the theme this month as I need to bulk up my Christmas card stash. This stamped image is one that I was gifted by a fellow crafter many moons ago so I all I know is that it is one of their much older designs, unfortunately I don't know the name.

INGREDIENTS -
Penny Black Stamped Image
LOTV Sentiment
Maja Design Papers
Flowers and Berry
Snowflake Die, Clear Dew Drops & Papermania Shimmer Dome Stickere

Creative Inspirations - October Challenge

           Good Morning!
We're back with a brand new challenge over at CREATIVE INSPIRATIONS!
This month's challenge theme is super easy, it's 'Autumn/Something Spooky!'
You can choose either of the themes to play along with. I have lot's of Halloween cards in my stash from over the years so I opted for the autumn theme myself. I'm not quite sure why the photo has a red glow, I'm guessing the camera picked up the colour from the papers!

INGREDIENTS - 
'Tip Toe' Digi by All Dressed Up
Maja Design Papers
Paper Doily, Flowers, Ribbon, Dew Drops and Pearls
