Toil & Trouble... with a little Poison on the Side.

Woo Hoo! My Stampin' order came! I am finally getting my hands on Toil and Trouble. I am obsessed with skulls. I don't know why, but I love them. So, when the Holiday catalog came out, Toil and Trouble was the first on my wish list.

I had a lot of fun playing with it today. I have so many more ideas burning in my head. I created it for Try Stampin' on Tuesday's weekly challenge but I'm not sure it really fits with the sketch. I got a little off track. Oops! I decided to make my own paper. I think I'm going to call it MCP instead of DSP. Don't get me wrong, I love Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper... BUT, everyone else has it too. I want to be different. Go figure. Here is what I came up with. I think it came together nicely.

Supplies:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Soft Suede, Very Vanilla

Ink ~ More Mustard, Pear Pizzaz, Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze

Stamp Sets ~ Off the Grid, Gorgeous Grunge, Toil and Trouble, misc. alphabet stamp set

***I did not use any SU embellisments for this card. 

I used the Brayer tool to make the More Mustard and Pear Pizzaz paper. I like the effect better than using SU cardstock.

Woo Hoo!!! This card received a special mention over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!!!

Just for Fun

For ONCE I might just be on time! I always think about holiday projects a little too late. This time, I just might get it all done BEFORE it's too late. I created this fun little jar today. I think it's pretty cute. Not sure what I'll use it for, but the kids will like it.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Whisper White, Perfectly Plum

Ink ~ Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzaz, Perfectly Plum

Stamp Sets ~ Googlie Ghouls

Embellishments ~ Burlap ribbon, misc. purple ribbon
