Digital Delights Monday Hostess Post!

Good Morning and welcome to another 'Hostess Monday'! This week I get the pleasure of sharing with you a project I have been working on for Halloween! I can't believe that we are all already planning for Halloween, time is flying!

For today I thought I would share with you some fun treat bag toppers! I am using a typical plastic card holder sleeve that measures 4-3/8" x 5-3/4". I know most people seal their cards in these, but they have so many other uses too! I am featuring this darling Digital Delights image called Wizard Toby! This darling cat makes me smile and I thought he would be perfect for a Halloween treat! I also printed off a darling sentiment from the Spooky Sayings Sentiment Set to decorate my bag!

I printed off the darling Wizard Toby and the sentiment at the same time to save on paper space. Then I colored in my image and put him to the side as I created my topper. I cut three pieces of 3" x 5" card stock, one in orange and two in black.

After that I used a strip of orange paper to be the topped and I punched along the edges using this fun Martha Stewart punch I have in my stash.

After that I used sticky strip and attached the topper to the plastic sleeve card holder that I placed three halloween paper covered Kit Kat bars. 

I added a bit of scrap paper to finish off the design and to break up the orange from the black and then I added in the darling image Wizard Toby and the Hocus Pocus sentiment from the Spooky Sayings Sentiment Set. I hope that you liked this Halloween project, they are super simply to make but oh too cute to resist!

The Paper Shelter Design Team Call!

Good Morning All! Today I am sharing with you a card I made recently to answer the current Design Team Call at The Paper Shelter! To say that I am a fan of The Paper Shelter would be an understatement, I have become a mainly digi designer and I simple adore the images that The Paper Shelter releases. I have masses of them in fact, okay maybe not masses, but I do have lots of their images since they are just all so darn cute!

For my card today I used the image, A Little Bit Grumpy, I just think this fairy is fabulous! I love the expressions and the hair style, it's so much fun and she is just so darn cute! I think this card shows my personal style and my coloring skills. I simply love to color and I think I work well with shades and hues of color.

 

I also wanted to share the two cards above that I think show off my coloring skills and design skills as well which could help with the Design Call submission. Both cards are a bit different then my first card at the beginning of the post, but I think all three show what I am capable of.

Thank you for stopping by today and checking out my post. Have a great day!
