pink halloween - for fun challenges

Another fun challenge

Halloween card with NO orange! Pretty cool huh

Here's the link 

For Fun Challenges

Here's my take

Anyway, as long as it is not orange, I am still fine with using it for this challenge

The vintage image is from HERE!

Look at this, it supposed to look like that!!!!

But when I printed, it looks kind of dark and redish, can anyone tell me why, is it my printer?

So yes, a PINK halloween card, I like it, how about you?

"Just For You" Treat Bag

Click HERE to link to my GIVEAWAY post

************************************

This is a fun challenge at 

Crafty Creations

Challenge 91 - Halloween or perhaps Autumn

fun huh? so I created a Halloween treat bag (getting ready for Sunday), with a Fall theme tag

It was a fun one as they are easy and quick projects, so I can make many of them in a short period of time

And the best part of making tags is that I get to used up all the small pieces of scraps, clear up some room for some more scraps.... LOL!

Let's get shabby - Layout Page

************************************

Another layout with old photos, really really old photos.....

This one is me and my brother

This is for the challenge

"Let's Get Shabby # 17"

challenge #17 is all about "Raiding Your Sewing Boxes"

To create a project using the item in your sewing box - at least 3 noticeable items and PIN has to be one of the item 

Now, let me count....

Button is 1 (I have two of them in this layout)

Embriodery thread is 2 

Sewing pattern paper is 3

here's the other button with a different color embriodery threads

Here comes the PINS (green/blue round headed pins), I used 3 of them, they are not the fancy handmade pins but real sewing pins from my sewing box, so they are tiny for not having those fancier beads on top,  they are the 4th item from the sewing box

Lace is number 5

See that green color thread, those are the tiny ones in a traveling case I bought while I was in Aspen few years ago, my daughter was there for the Music Festival all summer, 9 weeks without any crafting, I went to Walmart and bought a tiny traveling box filled with threads and needles, and did some hand-sewn items while waiting for my daughter at the music studio, that is item number 6 from my sewing box.

Item # 7 from my sewing box is this little fabric button, the fabric was just a tiny piece of left-over from the patch work

Some more of the sewing pattern paper, I used it to make these flowers

Still trying to practice more on these hand rolled flowers, just love them....

See my new Martha Stewart edge punch, one more to my collection

The kraft journaling spot from HERE!

Ok, I've counted, I used 7 items from my sewing box, just in case you wonder why I did not count that measuring tape (on the bottom right corner) as one, right, that is faux, it is not a real measuring tape but stamped on ribbon.

I just love challenge like this one where I can challenged myself to see how many items from my sewing box I can incorporate into my project, really cool!

Now it is your turn to hop over and play along, the DT's work are really amazing, I love every single one of them, so wait no more, hop over to see it for yourself

This is a layout page I made for 

Scrapbooking Competition (october sketch)

Here's the beautiful sketch 

I love the effect of the Utee embossing with that corner

The green crocheted flower is from one of my key chain

Old blue lace I bought like 20 years ago...

I placed it on top of the lightly-colored blue doily, and it was from my swap partner Deb Hickman, she sent it with other beautiful stuff for the Lace and Doily Swap, thanks Deb!

I embossed the chipboard and leave it as it is, no color, no paint, just distressed the edge a bit, and the brilliant idea is from the talented Lauren Bergold, she comes up with the best idea every now and then and I enjoy just reading her post, she is the funniest blogger I've ever know. 

I usually scrapbooked my children, but I am not telling you who is this, maybe you wanna guess?

Alright, I know there's a lot of pictures but the 12x12 page is huge, unlike a card, I need a few more pictures to show every corner.

You still have time to join in the fun at scrapbooking competitions, hop over now!

Here's a notepad I made using Pixie Dust Paperie October Kit

"Fall in Love"

One great thing about making this note pad is - fast and easy, and you can use up your scraps as it needs very little paper, so here you go, I used my scraps (actually there are still lots of papers and supplies left after making 4 projects out of this kit). I just love making small gift like this one.

Next is a little THANK YOU note to my dear friend


Ros Crawford


Ros learned from the City Crafter Challenge Blog when I hosted the "LONDON" week challenge, that my 2 teenage girls are crazy over Beatles, how lovely and thoughtful of her, not only she sent us photographs of Penny Lanes, Strawberry Fields .... etc. She also sent these lovely gifts to my 2 girls

The girls were screaming and dancing when they received these!!!


THANK YOU ROS!!!


Here's some pictures of my girls' room and where they display the lovely gifts from Ros

They are just not the Justine Bieber or Lady Gaga teenagers, they loves classical music, they love the classic rocks, the Beatles, Ray Charles, Pink Floyd and Led Zepplin

They read every book about the Beatles, and Elvis etc, collect old vinyl records and even have record players, sometimes I think they are actually old ladies living in cute bodies! : o

Thanks once again Ros, you made them sooooo HAPPY!
