Birthday Wishes (MME Blog Challenge 29 - Card)

I know so many people who are celebrating their birthday this month!  It's a good thing that i have a few cards done up in advance because i would never be able to manage!  I did take the time to create a card for a very special person this weekend though, using My Mind's Eye Blog Challenge 29 sketch:

The challenge this month is to not only use this fabulous sketch, but also use "BROWN" on the card which is easy for me because i just love brown and i would use it on every single project i make if i could.

I used papers from the older, but still beautiful, So Sophie collection.  Unfortunately, i didn't have any other MME products in my stash that matched the papers, but with a little chipboard, some border punches and a little stitching, i was able to make a lovely card for my well-deserving friend.

And voilà!

I'll take this opportunity to wish the best Birthday ever to all my November Birthday friends!!!

Happy Halloween!

Be safe and don't forget to take lots of pictures of the little ones - hehe

Speaking of which, here are some treat bags that i made for a few special Trick or Treaters who came to visit on the weekend.  Needless to say, they were taken apart in a matter of seconds to get to the candy!

I used my leftovers from the wonderful October kit from Funtoolas for which i was the monthly featured guest.  I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank Funtoolas for featuring some of my creations and for providing me with their kit which allowed me to create so many fun Halloween projects this month.  I loved my experience and will always be a huge fan! 

Thank you for dropping by!

Just the 2 of Us (Prima's October BAP & PPP)

Every time i get the chance to play with loads of Prima products, i always feel a certain peacefulness in my crafty soul!  I know, i know, this sounds very sappy, but it's true.  Some of my favorite Prima products are so soft and soothing to the eye, it is simply a delight to play with them, just equivalent to the day at the Spa!

Well, i decided to pamper myself this week by participating in Prima's October Build-A-Page challenge.  

Here is the inspirational sketch:

And the soft and romantic layout that it inspired:

Prima products used are : (papers) Botanical "Far Far Away", Botanical "Sweet Heart", Botanical "My Darling", Jack and Jill "Green Fields"; (chipboard) Botanical Glittered Cardstock; (ribbon) Lace and Pearl Borders; (flowers) Grape Summer Carnation II, Sunshine Floret Collection, Craftable Flowers; (rub-ons) Flocked Rub-Ons. 

The fancy chipboard circle around the picture and underneath all those gorgeous Prima flowers is from Dusty Attic.  I inked it with Tim Holtz' Distress Ink and added some Stickles for a more textured and sparkly look.

Of course, Prima is not all about soft and sweet!  They offer bold and bright products too, something for all tastes.  Just check out this month's Product Palette :

Spectacularly Spooky, aren't they? Perfect to scrapbook all your Halloween pictures this year!
