Orange Witches

Happy Saturday everyone!  Are you ready for another Saturday Challenge over at Kraftin’ Kimmie Stamps?

Our lovely hostess this week is Krafty Girl, Melany!  And her challenge for you is....

SHAPES!!

For my card today I thought I’d make another fun Halloween themed card with our new adorable “I Want Candy” stamp set.  I mean, who can resist those sweet little trick-or-treaters!?!?

As for shapes, I chose to use a circle shaped card base with a square and an oval on it using some fun spook-tacular themed patterned papers.

Here’s a peek at the inside of the card too…

Each and every Saturday we post a brand new challenge for the week and you are welcome to enter as many times as you like! These must be new creations and you are welcome to use any stamp, however using Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and products will earn you double entries! Each submission will enter you into the monthly draw of a $40 gift voucher to the krafty shop!

We've also got a sketch to inspire you for the month of September! You don't have to use it but it's there for you to use if you need a little kick start... feel free to use it any time!

Happy kraftin'!

September is Here!

September is here! Have you got your Canvo all ready with your weekly spreads yet?

I thought I’d share a few more spreads that I’ve finished up with our September Club Canvo collection.  This collection includes the “Hello There September” stamp set and the “This Way Stencil”.

I thought I would go nice and sunny with my first weekly spread.  I thought the sweet little chalkboard image would look fun-tastic at the top of each of my days of the week spreads.

For my next weekly spread, I could resist a little rainbow love so I masked off all my panels and had a ball blending and over lapping my inks!

And for the third week, I went a little more Spa ink colors and had fun lining up all those adorable school supplies!

Some of the other Catherine Pooler Designs products I used on my pages above include:

• Daily Plan Stamp Set
•  Months and Doodads Stamp Set
• Circle Tracker and Banners Stencil  
•  Quick Quads Stencil

I hope you too have got some fun spreads done for this month!  Happy creating!
