A Stitch in Time

Have you entered this month's Customer Challenge over at Gecko Galz yet?

The theme is A Stitch in Time.

This month I made a Memory Dex card.

Firstly I die cut my Dex card with my Heidi Swapp die.

I then adhered a piece of Dress Pattern paper on top of my Dex Card.

I used a collage image and three mannequins from Gecko Galz Crazy Manniquins file.

I distressed the edges of my collage image and sponged with Black Soot distress ink.

I then adhered this along with the three mannequins onto my Dex Card.

Lastly, I adhered a metal sewing machine hanging embellishment to finish it off.

 

I hope I have inspired you, and now it's your turn to show me what you can do this month - you have until the 29th to get your entry blogged and onto the blog page. Why not try an image from the Newsletter freebies as well.

It really is worth the try to have some fun and maybe win $25 to spend in the store along your way!

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

This is Halloween Challenge

A new month, so a new challenge starting over at This is Halloween.

This is Halloween is a Halloween and/or Gothic themed Monthly Challenge.

So both themes are accepted all year round when stated!

This month I used Cute Vintage Halloween Mini Scrapbook Kit and French Ephemera Sheet 1 by Lilli Rain Designs for my Dex card.

After fussy cutting the ephemera, I then die cut my dex card using the Pumpkin paper.

I placed the ephemera on my dex card until I worked out where I would put them. Next I adhered the bingo card and girl onto the dex card.

I used some bakers twine from my stash and wrapped around the card and tied off.

I popped my moon and cat on by foam dots so they pop off the card.

Hope you get a chance to play along with us - enter here.

Until next time, keep chasing white unicorns!

Dog Days of Summer

The theme is Dog Days of Summer

This month I made a Dex card using an image from  Ladies in Cream. So many great images there you could use this month.

Having a greyhound myself, I of course had to use an image with one in.

I die cut a dex card with my Heidi Swapp die using a patterned paper from my stash - no name or identifying marks on it.

I also used some the postcard and words from A Place in Time, Graphics 45 8x8 Paper Pad (2012 edition!), wow I have had that a while!

Cute Vintage Halloween

A new month, so a new challenge starting over at This is Halloween.

This is Halloween is a Halloween and/or Gothic themed Monthly Challenge.

So both themes are accepted all year round when stated!

This month I decided to make 2 projects using the Cute Vintage Halloween Mini Scrapbook kit by Lilli Rain Designs. 

Using the Pumpkin background paper, I die cut a dex card for my base using my Heidi Swapp Rolodex die.

I then also die cut my black cardstock piece using the Imagine die from Bee Arty.

Last piece of the puzzle is one of the images from the kit and sponging all the edges with Black Soot distress ink and then adhering to finish my dex card.

My card centerpiece is using a playing card and adhering a piece of tissue paper from my stash that I had created when I played with alcohol inks a few months back. I did peel back a bit to have my 3 of Clubs peeking out a touch. I fussy cut another image out and sponged the edges of it and the playing card with Black Soot distress ink and then adhered together and then onto my black card base. 

Hope you get a chance to play along with us - enter here.

I am entering my Dex card in the following Challenges:
