We are back!!

Our summer vacation is over!!  We took a little break over at Anita Be Stampin, but we are back with a new challenge.  We are ready to start seeing your fabulous projects again.  We have a brand new challenge for you with the release of Broomhilda and Frankenbride in digital format.  The challenge is to make a Spooky Halloween themed project.  I played with Broomhilda this week. 

I don't have any Halloween themed paper so I used this black and cream paper, sewed along the edges in orange, added some orange paper, ribbon and button and a sentiment from The Cutting Cafe.  Now I would love to see what you have for us!  

Anita is starting the challenges back up with a Bang!! This first challenge will have a $25 ABS gift certificate for the winner.  The challenges will now require you to use an ABS image on your project.  You will want to check out the rules in the side bar of the challenge blog. 

Don’t have any ABS images yet, but you want a chance to win? No worries! You can always join the Anita Be Stampin Papercraft Planet group where members have access to a free digi image.

Also, for a very limited time you can snag the Batty digi image absolutely FREE at www.anitabestampin.com.  This cute bat image is perfect for this week’s challenge! ;) 

Now I am going to add this to the challenge at

Octoberfest with an Oddball Twist

It is Tuesday and time for another Color Challenge over at the Outlawz.  The Oddball twist this week is to recycle something onto your card.  I used cardboard to cut out my gears with my Tim Holtz sizzix die cut.  And of course I used his distress ink to ink up the edges of everything. 

I used this darling image from Bugaboo, our October sponsor.  The prize for the month of October is 7 digi stamps from Bugaboo. How fabulous is that?!!  I used Deacon Wings and cut him out.  I didn't want the heart on my card. The background is from The Cutting Cafe, Monster Love Background and the sentiment is fromSpooky Square Sentiments.

 And here is your color inspiration for this weeks challenge. 

You will want to take the time to play along this month for your chance to win.

Boxes, Boxes, Boxes

Over at The Cutting Cafe this week we have lots of inspiration using the Bags and Boxes cutting files.  I used the Halloween Pillow Box file to create a little Spider pillow box filled with treats.

These little pillow boxes are so easy to use. I went a bit simple with this one. This is the reason you save packaging materials.  I cut out a piece of plastic from one package and attached to the inside of the pillow box so the treats won't fall out!  You will want to head on over to the Cutting Cafe and check out all the fabulous Inspiration projects from my teamies.  And did you recieve the email from The Cutting Cafe this morning?   Regina is having a great sale. 

Our special this week from today until Friday at midnight October 21th 2011, you can choose ANY increments of 5 BAGS OR BOXES for $5.00

Head on over and check out all the fabulous files to choose from. 

Tuesdays with the Outlawz

Would you like a chance to win 7 digital images by Bugaboo Stamps?  Our fabulous sponsor over in the Color Challenge at the Outlaws is offering one person 7 images in October.  I used this fun image called Hween Brat Pumpkin for my card.

Isn't she just too cute?  Here is your inspiration this week. 

The Octoberfest with an Oddball twist is to add a leaf or leaves to your project.  Or have one somewhere on your project. 

Now, I want you to take a closer look at that background paper.  It is from the Cutting Cafe and is called Monster Love background.   I printed it on kraft paper.  Love how that looks.  I used a CuttleBug folder to emboss the orange, a little pumpkin ribbon, my leaves and voila, there you go!!  I hope you will take a moment to check out the other design team members fabulous creations.
