Here is a great new technique to try: Spray and Smash! It makes great backgrounds for all sorts of things! This was part of the Virtual Stamping Night Challenges, and this one was hosted by Faith Hofrichter. You can see her tutorial for the technique here. I used Apricot Appeal, Ruby Red, Elegant Eggplant and Mellow Moss for my reinker colors.

Spray and Smash and Smoosh Around!

Happy Anniversary
This is my card for the VSN Challenge: Falling in Love.
As many of my friends know, my DH and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary this past July -- except that we didn't celebrate, as I was in one state and he was in another. So I made this card for him, and I will give it to him when we do get to celebrate!
The black ribbon in the middle is supposed to be reminiscent of a garter like I wore on our wedding day. The wedding couple is a new Cuttlebug embossing folder.
I used Everyday Flexible Phrases -- one teeny stamp (but a BIG word with meaning for me!)! I love that set because you can make just about any sentiment you need or want!
Blog Candy for Me (ok -- and you!)
I have been slow this week in updating my blog! So here is the deal: by the end of the day, I will have uploaded five new cards. Leave a comment on two of them and be entered into my Blog Candy drawing -- lots of fun Fall things for you to make! Monday afternoon I will post a picture of the surprise Blog Candy package! Lots of fun stuff!
Here is the first one:
I made this for a SCS Challenge -- we were to make a sympathy card. I like those to be clean and simple, so the sentiment is the most important thing the card says.

In the Guava Groove
Wow! I really hated Guava last week. I disliked my card -- I blamed it all on Poor Guava. But with this week's color challenge, Guava is Groovy!! I love it paired with Always Artichoke and this is the card I came up with:
The designer paper is from the Old World Mat Stack by DCWV, and the rest is Stampin' Up! Always Artichoke, Groovy Guava, and River Rock. I made the scallops using my slit punch, and the main image is cut out from a Cuttlebug embossing folder. Hope you all are having a groovy day!
