Penguin and Polar Bear friends

Another day, another challenge!  LOL  I wish it was that easy!  But I have designing to do for Stamp Club on Wednesday and I love starting with sketches and rolling from there so yeah me got to play two days in a row! 

Here’s my take on Taylor’s sketch challenge this week.  First time putting ink on these cuties!!  I LOVE THEM!  My Scrapbook clubbers, don’t be surprised if you see these guys next time…

Scrapbook Club Projects

I {heart} scrapbooking!  And I love having the scrapbook club back in action cuz it helps me get more pages ready to go!  So here’s some ‘before’ shots of the pages for this month.  And hopefully VERY soon I’ll get some ‘after’ shots with pictures on them!

I used the new Night & Day Specialty Designer Papers as well as a LOT of punches on this layout.  I love how versatile the Baroque Motifs stamp set is as well.  Who would’ve thought it would be a great stamp set for Halloween??  But when I pulled out the Night & Day designer paper I immediately thought of Baroque Motifs.  Hope you like it too! 

Here’s the second layout for the scrapbook club members and guests.  Again, I used the Night & Day Specialty Designer paper.  This time I pulled out my Medallion background stamp, inked it up with Frost White shimmer paint and stamped it half on each page.  I also did a ton more punching to make that spider (scallop circle and photo corner punches) and used the Big Shot to get the Build a Bear.  I used a marker to color a toothpick Elegant Eggplant and used that as the holder for the Happy Halloween banner the little bear is holding.

Tonight’s Club Cards

So even though the blog doesn’t show it I have been very busy lately!  Here are the THREE projects for my fabulous club members tonight.  One is a waterfall card ( a very scaled down version of the fabulous waterfall card given to me a bit ago, more info here about that beauty), the second is a fun and simple shutter card, and the third uses punches to create some tres chic purses!  Lots of fun to be had tonight at club!  See you ladies soon.

Birthday Stars

The first meeting of the Twist Card club is this coming Monday night, so I finished designing the final card for club today and used the Mojo sketch to help me do so!  This is one of those sets I had to have months ago that I’ve NEVER used – until now.  You know you have those sets too!  Sets you have to have in your collection, can’t get rid of, but perhaps barely use!  LOL  No worries, stamps aren’t a terrible addiction to have!

Anyway… on to the card.
