Hoot Hoot Hurray!

Today is a special day for Craft Your Passion, folks! Today marks their 100th challenge! Wow! Can you beleive it?! Time sure has flown by! It's hard to beleive it, isn't it?! I remember fondly, the time I served on the DT at Craft Your Passion. I started as a guest designer back when Lauretta and Corrine ran the challenge blog, and ended up staying on. The time eventually came for me to move on, and the blog is now ran by the wonderful Jenn Jackson, who's doing a bang up job! *Applause* From time to time, Jenn invites me back as a guest for special events, and of course, I'm always happy to participate! This is no exception! I'm honored, as always to be be asked. This is a special time for Craft Your Passion and a real cause for celebration!

The celebration is in full swing, with tons of wonderful sponsors! Lots of sponsors mean lots of prizes! Be sure you head over and check out the festitivities at Craft Your Passion and play along in the current challenge, for your chance to win!

I went with a shaped card for my first Craft Your Passion project. I'm using Hootie Pie Clown by Pink Cat Studio, who's one of the many fabulous sponsors this week! He's colored with Promarkers. All papers are from my stash.

Owl Wow! Look At That Creepy Tree!

Hey Hey Hey! Are you folks following the 12 Days of Halloween at Simply Betty Stamps? I am! I love love love Betty's Stamps and would love a chance at a term on her DT! I realize I may not be good enough, but I'm gonna try and see what happens!

This project is for Day 1. We were asked to do a project with an owl and a creepy tree on it. I admit, It was a challenge for me, to find a creepy tree! But then I found this creepy paper in my stash and it seemed perfect! I complimented the creepy scene paper with a scrap of orange and black stripes from my stash, then trimmed it with black faux lace.

My card uses the sketch at Sketches By Carly. The image is by Simply Betty Stamps. I went with the black and white look for my image this time. I seen a challenge for it and it looked like fun! Not to mention, it makes her look really creepy, doesn't it?I think she turned out to look very cool and makes a nice addition to the scene in the paper. The Owl and pumpkin is a dimensional three layered embellishement from K & C Company. My cousin and I searched all over Michael's to find the perfect owl for this! And believe me, it wasn't easy! I fell in love with this owl when I seen him and had to have him specifically for this project! Don't you just love his wiggly eyes?!

Hope you enjoyed my project! I had fun making it!
