SPCC Challenge #8

Hey Chicas....It's that time again....Here are the colors we had to use from SPCC...

I had a good time doing this card this week because I used my glaze pens...very fun! :-) and I finally used a file technique, which I love to do....
I don't have any SU paper "yet"...so, I used some cardstock from papertrey, which I love!!
I was cleaning all my stickers today and came across this great frame..so, I just added some glaze, a cute acorn and there you goooooo...lol..
I used the stamp from papertrey also..thought it was very cute....Fall is around the corner and it means lots of time inside to have fun with cardstock...:-)...

Hope you like it as much as I did making it....

SPCC Challenge #5 Color Combo

Here is the Color Combo Colors I used in My LO for Challenge #5 for SPCC:



For this Challenge I did a LO of my daughter's...They LOVE Tinker bell and the Pixies and are always playing dress up so I captured this great picture of them playing dress up.
I used the Tinker bell and Friends Cartridge from Cricut and my paper is from Creative Memories.
I also did a bunch of stamps from Papertrey ink...




Hope you like it....Have a great week!!
