Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge

 
When the mojo hits, you gotta roll with it. I have had NO motivation to get crafty for the better part of a month...then yesterday and today...maybe being away from home for a few days did me more good than I realized, a change of scenery and all that...

This is what the Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge mood board for June looks like:

And here's the card I made based on the mood board (and I've really been wanting to break into my Boo Crew collection kit from Simple Stories).

Shite I used to make this card:

• White cardstock (Recollections)
• Boo Crew design paper design paper (Simple Stories)
• Boo Crew cardstock stickers (Simple Stories)
• Spider punch (Studio G)

As mentioned at the beginning of this post, I made this for the June Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge.

Keeping It Neutral with Jingle Belles

I am on a Christmas card making roll this week!

I may have mentioned before that I REALLY like making Christmas cards.

Not so much for my crafty pal MICHELLE who was lovely enough to gift me a bag of Christmas themed stuff (yay!).

When I saw that the new challenge at JINGLE BELLES is Neutral Noel, I knew that some of the papers and embellishments would be perfect!

Here are the two (mostly) neutral cards I made:

Shite I used to make this card:

• Kraft cardstock (Recollections)
• Lost and Found Christmas design paper (My Mind's Eye)
• Lost and Found Christmas brads (My Mind's Eye)
• Lost and Found Christmas accessory sheet (My Mind's Eye)
• Foam tape (Dollar Tree)

Then I made this card, it was in the bag of Christmas stuff, but I have no idea where it came from or who made it (lemme know if you recognize it!).

As noted at the beginning of this post, I made these cards for the JINGLE BELLES Neutral Noel challenge.
