Fred She Said Blog Hop

It's time for another fun and fabulous Fred She Said Blog Hop. The DT was asked to choose their favorite FSS image and to demonstrate their personal style. For those of you who follow my blog regularly you know I'm very into Halloween and using paper scraps these days.

If you came here from Nancy's Blog you are on the right track. If not head on over to Tracey's blog to start the hop. Remember to collect the words along the way to be eligible to win $20 CAD at the FSS store and $20 gift certificate to the Crop Stop. We would love it if you left a comment on our blogs along the way. I chose Halloween Rosey (pre-colored) as my image. It's one of my many favorites.

Birthday Princess

Believe it or not I am behind on my project posting. I have lots and lots of things made I just need to figure out a posting schedule and set some time aside to take some pictures. I made this card sometime last week. The image is from Claudia & Company and is called Birthday Princess. My 7 year old daughter picked this one out. It can be easily dressed up for prom and wedding cards as well. Its a fun little digi.

Here's a close-up of the image:

Thoughts of You

You can find my Digital Tuesday Challenge Card here.

Here's a quick card I made using a Fred She Said pre-colored image called Wheelbarrow. I also used the Polka Dotty Flowers set to create the butterfly shape accent. To acheive the look I simply cut off a couple of the flower petals. I may have to make some butterfly accents soon. I wish I could say that I was the clever one who thought of it but it was Alyssa, my 7 year old. You can find her blog HERE.

In my thoughts

I'm back with my classic red and black combination. I love the contrast. I've paired it up with one of my favorite Fred She Said images: Monarch Butterfly. I'm also still digging through my paper scraps. I still have an endless supply of them. Of course I know I'll never run out of them especially since I seem to make more than I use. I still like to think that I'm making progress. Also Fred She Said is still having a digi sale each week. This week its the Wheelbarrow and its 30% off.

Fright Night

I really hope you are not getting tired of seeing Halloween cards because I just can't help myself *LOL* Halloween brings out my crafty side. I even dug out my brayer for this one.

In order to acheive the look of this card I created a scene using 3 Cutting Cafe images from the Halloween Time printable set. I first added the trees, then the spider and finally the All ghouls are welcome sentiment. The other sentiments are also included in the Halloween Time set. In fact there are 55 assorted images and sentiments in all.

Here's a sample of some of the images included in this set:
