I have been working on fall cards for the shop. I thought I would share them with you. They were fun. Butterfly Wishes came together easily when I had cut some of the leaves a part and saw this amazing butterfly. I added the antennae and new I had the perfect paper that came from out Botanicabella Collection. Enjoy and Happy Fall.

Happy Halloween!
I  have been having a wonderful time in my craft room.  Halloween is everywhere!
I made my grandchildren cards and, of course I had to make cards for my grown Children as well.  I don't know if it is expected but I do know they would be disappointed if I didn't.  Plus it is so much fun for me. 

The card above is the one for my Children.  I just wanted to share the technique I used for the "Ghostly Greetings" phrase.  Believe it or not, it is an old bleach technique with a new twist.  I used a brass stencil and a chlorox bleach pen on black paper.  It took awhile to get it right but it was definitley worth it. 

I wish you all Happy Trick or Treating.

Keep Creating,  Elvira

More Pumpkin Challenge:  My son wanted to have a pumpkin carving night (read contest) with his sister and I.  We thought it would be great fun so of course we were in and my husband was there for moral support as well as the pumpkin cleaner.
 
He bought us the pumpkins keeping in mind who likes what shape.  Alas, we can not be in the challenge but we wanted to share our pumpkins with you.  I hope you enjoy and I can not wait to see yours of course.



Keep Creating,
Elvira

Pumpkin Challenge

Happy falling leaves, ghosts, goblins, and winter vegetables...it is time to join us for a pumpkin decorating challenge...

"To carve or not to carve"

How about a stencil or masks

What about painting or stamping

What could one do with paper?

One pumpkin or a bunch of pumpkins?

Big or little?

How could fibers or yarn be used?

So many ideas, so many choices, let's get started...pick a pumpkin, find an inspiration, make a piece of artwork.  Then bring your pumpkin by the shop to enter our Pumpkin Challenge.  Each entry will receive a Halloween treat as well as 25% discount on all things pumpkin and pumpkin related the day the pumpkin is dropped off.  Multiple entries accepted and the 25% discount is good each day a pumpkin is submitted.  If you shop with us on the web please submit your entry via email, send us a picture of you with your pumpkin and let us know your inspiration – we will send you your Halloween treat and discount to shop on the web.

All entries will be posted on our web site.   Challenge runs from 10/24 through 10/31.

Here are some pumpkins that inspired me thanks to Home Made Simple, Sunset Magazine, and DIY…
