Dee-lightful Inspiration

Over at the Scrapping Nook message board, Dee is inspiring the ladies with a different challenge each day.  Yesterday it was all about ribbon, and a few days ago it was mitten tags.  So, I thought I would put the two together to make a card:

materials used:  Deffray red ribbon; Little Yellow Bicycle mitten cut out; Brusched courdory & Fire brick  Tim Holtz distress inks; stickles; staples cardstock; Studio G stamp

I want to win!!!

I can win a November kit from Scrapcetera!  So, I've pasted their logo onto my blog, and am now giving you the address:    http://www.scrapceterakits.com/ 

I now need to tell you something that I love about the kits:  Well, to be honest, I've never purchased one, so this would be a great opportunity for me to find out what I've heard others talk about.  How great they really are!  So, pick me, and I will tell everyone about it!!!

happy hallowe'en

We survived another halloween here at our house.  There is enough candy for about 8 children here (and their parents!)  Here's what my two guys looked like when they left for trick-or-treat:

They really wanted to get going, and weren't too interested in posing.  Ethan had a mask with his costume, but couldn't wear it - he couldn't see well enough, so he chose to wear the pumkin hat...which I understand came off after about 2 houses.  Noah was Buzz Lightyear, space ranger.

Here is a LO I did for the November sketch challenge at The Scrapping Nook:

I got to use my new cricut lite "celebrate with Flourish" cartridge (title).  I used:  Basic Grey pp, bazzill and prism cardstock, ranger gold stickles, martha stewart black ink, and staedtler fineliner black pen.
