Ugly Paper challenge at Crafting by Designs

Scroll down for 31DOH Day #14 post and day #15 will be here in a few hours!

Today is Wednesday and that means a new weekly challenge for Crafting by Designs. This one had me stumped. I chose myself a Halloween Bat image from Eureka Stamps and figured I would make a Halloween project. And then I remembered the theme - UGLY Paper! To me there is no such thing as ugly Halloween paper but I figure there will be plenty who wont like the bats and spiders on my creations! (We would really like you to dig deep in your stash and find that sheet of paper that you hate and finally use it!)

My project for today are two little Halloween treat boxes. I must thank Lisa for her 31DOH Day #4 post which linked up to a video of how to make these boxes - Lisa's were fabulous and I had to have a go! I have used two 6x6 papers from Bo Bunny and added the bat digi image and some sentiments from my stash, along with ribbons to finish.

thanks for looking!

Birthday Celebrations at the Crafters Cafe Challenge Blog

Ok, so maybe Halloween isn't for you, well today we have a Birthday challenge at the Crafters Cafe Challenge Blog and this might be more your thing! We are sponsored by Eureka Stamps and I have been working with a pile of presents to show you today!

I have coloured the image with promarkers and added stickles in various matching colours and teamed the image with the new Craftwork Cards Vintage Boho paper and die cuts kit. I used a spellbinders die to cut a mat for the image and inked the edges with Peacock Feathers distress ink, mounted this onto a couple of doilies also with the DI on the edges.

I decided to make this an easel card just to be a bit different from my usual 6x6 sqaure! I covered the card base with papers from tehe Vintage Boho pad and layered up a sentiment to hold the easel in place.

I finished the card with more Peacock Feathers DI and Lagoon Stickles along with a couple of frilly flowers cut from strips of the paper.

Thanks for looking, hope you enjoyed the card and I hope to see you for some birthday celebrations at the Crafters Cafe!
