Craft Challenge #732

 Hi friends!

It's my very busy time of the year so my blog posts are a little less often. I'm still here working behind the scenes on my task list. I just don't always get the time to write. It is harvest time here and I preserve almost all of my garden. We have construction going on too. The weather is still very summer-like and we are kind of starting to feel like we are in a drought. Our rain barrels are empty but the garden wants to keep growing because it is so warm. So, I'm starting to harvest what I have and not encourage everything to keep growing. I do have some things that are fall crops and herbs that will need water but to water all of it every day gets very expensive.

Now back to studio work: 

This week's Craft Challenge Blog theme is Baby/Family/For the Kids

Our sponsor this week is: Beccy's Place

The design I chose is the train from the Precious Baby set.

 I started off by using Silhouette's Print & Cut feature. I printed the design out and had my Cameo cut it out of cardstock for me.

Then I just colored the train.

I chose the colors by using the Color Cube for inspiration. 

 

I found a background that went well with the train and included the sentiment that came with the design. 

Added a few embellishments. 

 

I think it came out very well!

Halloween Card with Scrapbook.com and Color Cube

 Hi friends! Time to return to the studio after a long holiday/birthday weekend! September is the month that I really get into Halloween and Autumn cards and decor. I am very exciting for it. This is my favorite time of year. I love harvest time. I love Halloween. I love Autumn. It really brings out my creativity and excitement for the seasons ahead. Don't be shocked at the amount of things I might make in the coming weeks. I will be doing even more behind the scenes as I prepare for the Christmas season. Yippee!!

For this card I used a Color Cube card for the color inspiration and the ghost set that was sent as a freebie.

The marigold and clay colors are representing in the background with Distress Oxides.

The Blood Orange is a paper added to the background.

The remaining colors of Ghost White and Ultra Violet are the ghosts and the sentments. The Ultraviolet is the shadow and I added adhesive foam between the ghosts and their shadows. 

I think I pulled it off! The Color Cube really helps me think outside of my normal box and I love it for that.
