Paper Cutz Challenge #110--Button Up for Fall

If you're here for my blog candy that ends September 30, please click here!

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

It's time for another Paper Cutz Challenge!  Since it's now OFFICIALLY the fall season, we'd like to see your Fall cards, LOs, or projects using lots of BUTTONS and any colors you like.  Here's what I came up with:

I found the sketch for my card in the Close To My Heart book Cherish, which I picked up at the customer garage sale at my LSS last weekend.  The ribbons and buttons were all in my stash, and the digi image and sentiment are both from LiaStampz.  The image, Asha with Friends, is one of my FAVORITES from LiaStampz!  I think it's just so funny!

Challenges entered:  4 Crafty Chicks, Crafty Purple Frog, Crafty Ribbons Challenge

We'd LOVE to see what you can create with autumn colors and buttons!  Be sure to get your project linked up at the Paper Cutz Challenge before next Thursday evening.  Happy scrapping!

Lia Stampz DT Call

I've been on a DT call application kick recently and have been applying for quite a few.  Unfortunately, I haven't been chosen for any new ones yet, but I'm not giving up hope!  My latest application is for a digital stamp company called Lia Stampz.  After e-mailing the owner, I received a digital stamp via e-mail and created this card:

Here's the inside:

The Halloween cardstock was from my stash, but I believe it was from a DCWV pack from a few years ago, and the digi image is from Lia Stampz (LOVE it!!!).  I used American Traditional Designs Sticker Collection Spookytown Alphabet for "Hoot" and "Night" and finished the phrase with my Studio G alphabet stamp set using purple ink.  The stickers on the inside of the card are Jolee's Boutique Sleepy Inn.

The Lia Stampz DT call runs through June 30, so check it out!  I'm DEFINITELY a new follower!  Wish me luck in the DT call!
