The Amazing Challenge

Here's a layout I completed using my October Counterfeit Kit, and it looks as if I'm going to be on time for a few challenges this time!  First up is this sketch from Creative Scrappers: I'm also entering at Frosted Designs (this week's challenge is to use mist and/or paint - I misted the rosettes and "Amazing" title piece with Dylusions...

Here's the next layout I completed using my October Counterfeit Kit.  The pictures really don't do this one justice at all, the pinks should be that bright Picked Raspberry featured in my last layout, but here it looks almost like salmon, blech!  Well, you'll just have to use your imagination!  Once again I had a blast playing with...

Some Quickie B-day Cards and a New Challenge!

Here are a couple of birthday cards I made up the other day, one for my brother-in-law, and one for my mother-in-law (they're both up for a visit for Thanksgiving, yay!): I completely cased the stamped circle idea from a pin I had pinned to my "Cards" board, so I need to give credit to Katie Gehring - you can find her original card here.  I...
