Terrific Tuesday Challenge: Back to School

It's been quite a while since I've entered Scrappy Moms Terrific Tuesday challenge, but I'm back! The theme this week is Back to School! I've been itching to use this pencil from Emma's All Around Everything Accessories set since I got it a few months ago. I stamped a few of these pencils on white cardstock, doodled around them, colored them with Copics, then sponged around them with a dauber in Stampin Up Pool Party. I like how the background isn't white anymore. I also had this ribbon from about a year ago that I never had the chance to use and thought this was a perfect time. That stamp is from Scrappy Mom's Quirky Quotes set. Thanks for looking! 

MCT: Throwback Thursday Challenge

This week, Emma's challenge over at My Creative Time was to create a CARD using the colors PURPLE, ORANGE, GREEN & BLACK and you aren't allowed to use your Cricut! Well, I was so excited to get started because my mom's birthday is on Halloween and I wanted to make her a Halloween-y birthday card this year. Mom, if you're reading this, stop here! Ok, so I had a busy weekend and couldn't start creating right away. When I finally had time to sit in my room and craft, I never looked at the challenge again. I was sure it was to incorporate the colors purple, black and orange and not use the Cricut. So, that's what I did. It was only when I went to link up my project, that I realized green was part of the challenge! Oops. I think I did a fairly easy fix of that my switching out the bottom layer of my sentiment cut from purple to green. Easy peasy! But then when I went to post this card a little while ago on my blog to enter the challenge, I realized I DID use my Cricut for the background of the sentiment! Argh!! This turned out to be quite a challenge for me. LOL. Another fairly easy fix, thanks to some Stampin Up! punches! So, finally, here is my completed card and I do believe it finally complies with the rules for this week's Throwback Thursday Challenge!


I got to use my favorite set from MCT, All Around Halloween! The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom Stamps, Quirky Quotes. For the "one of a kind" pumpkin, I added Glossy Accents to make it stand out even more.


And here is a picture of my "illegal" card, where I used the Cricut. LOL.
