This week’s challenge on Penny Black Challenge Blog is WINTER WONDERLAND.

To create a wintery scene I embossed a piece of vellum with Snowflake Impressabilities folder and layered in on a Rich Razzleberry CS. The hedgies are colored with mix of markers and Prisma pencils. Added some white glitter under their skates to make it look like ice. For the card base I used a shimmery blue Bazzil CS - that goes great with the winter theme. Then just a couple of light blue accesories and the card is done.

I just can’t get enough of this stamp set! I made some Halloween treat boxes for my kids’ teachers and guess what stamp set did I use to decorate it? Yes - PB Spooky. This week’s challenge on Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog is (surprise, surprise)  - HALLOWEEN - so I’m entering my creation ;)

The box is the same style as the Christmas/Advent box I made couple weeks ago - it’s actually a quarter of the Christmas box. I used Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie CS, K&Co papers and various ribbons and brads. The Fang-tastic  sentiment is probably from Magnolia (not sure)

and a detail of the image. Image was stamped on watercolor paper with Versafine and embossed with clear EP. Then I colored it with Aquapainter/markers and drew the spiderweb behind the cat.

This week’s challenge on Stampacular Challenge Blog is to create something SPOOKtacular ;) Here are 2 cards I created with my Penny Black Spooky set - love these cute cats. Can’t get enough of them so I made not one but 2 cards ;)

The first one is colored with Prisma pencils and cut out with my Nesties label. The sparkly DP is from K&Co, the card base and ribbon are Pumpkin Pie.

The backround on the second card is created with rub-ons from K&Co and the DP is from K&Co too.

I’ve seen this cool teacher’s desk organizer on SCS and immediately fell in love with it. Couldn’t find any instructions, so I ask Lynnor for measurements of the completed boxes, so I could try to figure it out myself. It’s pretty easy once you have them :)  Just three square boxes stuck together, wrapped up and decorated. The top panel is reinforced with chipboard (or piece of cardboard from cereal box) covered in DP.

I used Riding Hood Red CS for the boxes and Kiwi Kiss for the wrap-around.  Designer paper is from SU Bella Rose. The images are Penny Black and the sentiments is from Artful Inkables Think Big set.

I didn’t have any kind of closure or snap at home so it has to wait until I go shopping ;) I’m planning to try some magnet snaps or velcro closures for it.

And this is how it looks from the inside. LOTS of space - I emptied a whole little box of each thingies and it still looks half empty. So for office supplies the boxes could be smaller, but you can use these boxes for some sweet treats or craft supplies like buttons too :)
