Halloween at Sweet Stampin'

 Morning!  I'm joining Team Wends' challenge at Sweet Stampin' this fortnight because our challenge is Halloween and I love Halloween stamps!

I don't "do" Halloween. Even when the Boy Wonder was little, we didn't go trick or treating or anything like that.  But I love some of the Halloween images so much that I always end up making cards in spite of the fact that they are rarely sent.

I think this Lili of the Valley image is so sweet. The joy of a digi stamp is that you can re-size it and  I wanted a big focal image to colour with my Copics.  I kept everything else very simple - there is some glitter on the stars but it isn't showing up in the photo.

It would be great if you could play along with our Halloween challenge.  You'll find lots of fab inspiration plus the challenge details here at the Sweet Stampin' challenge blog.

Have a fabulous crafty weekend!

Add a Button

Are you one of those crafters who, when you get new goodies stamp/colour/die-cut loads of times because you just love them?  And do you then end up with a box of "spares"?  Not just me then!

It's new challenge time at Sweet Stampin' and this fortnight we'd like you to add a button to your project.

Thank goodness for my coloured-but-not-used box (along with the die-cut-but-not-used box)! I'm in the middle of trying to create a craft area/office in the space under the stairs, so I had to delve into these boxes for my DT card as I can't get to any of my stamping stash.

This hAnglar and StAnglar image must have been sitting in my box of spares for ... let's just say a good few years.  I was trying to get to grips with painting with Distress Inks at the time and did quite a few practice pieces.  Some I used, some I didn't - this is one of them.  Fortunately my die-cut-but-not-used box is bursting with paper going back donkey's years.  I'm pretty sure these papers are Basic Grey - I loved their designs.

And the button?  I have a button box but have no idea where it is at the moment, so this one has been cut off a jumper I've been wearing to do the decorating 😂.

I hope you'll be able to find a button and play along with our challenge.   You'll find lots of lovely inspiration and all the challenge details over at the Sweet Stampin' challenge blog.

Have a great weekend.
