Orange You Glad I Said Orange - A Refreshed Look #05

Orange has fast become one of my favorite colors. It started several years ago.

That's why I created this treasury in 2011, which shows only half of what I actually chose for it.

Orange You Glad I Said Orange by Corrinne Quinn

And orange is still one of my top color choices. Here is another collection of delightfulness.

Oh, boy, am I bummed! I moderate any comments left on my blog.
And what did I do? I clicked "Delete" instead of "Publish" - Doh, doh, doh!
Eighteen comments were lost and there's nothing I can do to get them back.

Unfortunately, Blogger doesn't have a place that stores deleted comments.
Nor do they ask you if you really want to delete them before actually deleting them.
Ok, ok, I'll man up. I did click "Delete" after all.

You can see the photo below.

So Artful: Harvest Moon Or Colors

Wicked

I have been on a mission. I wanted to use up all of my Halloween supplies, especially since they are over a year old. It was fun . . . well, the first three or four, but I'm getting towards the end. Ok, maybe not the end of my supplies, but definitely the end of making Halloween cards!

I have a stack of them already in their envelopes, sealed & ready to be sent, but I still have many more to give AND make.

Do you send out Halloween cards? I usually don't. My mission is making me do it :)

Clear It Out Challenge #13: Anything Goes With Black, Orange & Purple

Clear It Out Challenges offers up a challenge that lasts for two weeks, so here is a little inspiration midway through if you haven't already joined in the fun!

Bugaboo is our sponsor and I had so much fun using this digital stamp from their collections.

These spooky & hot shoes would be perfect for Halloween, don't you think? Of course, you couldn't be scared of spiders to wear them, though - Ha!

{PIN}spirational Challenge #27: Photo - Deer In The Forest

Happy Tuesday! It's a new challenge at {PIN}spirational Challenges. As always, we share a photo for you to be inspired by. See below for what it is.

I was inspired by the deer (obviously - Ha!) and the yellow colors.

Our sponsor Squigglefly offers the perfect digital stamp for this challenge and I was lucky enough to be able to use it.

Clear It Out Challenge #13: Anything Goes With Black, Orange & Purple

It's October - Can you believe it? The year has just been flying by!

At Clear It Out Challenges, we wanted to celebrate the upcoming holiday. Happy Halloween! Ok, it is a little early, but this challenge will allow you to create a card (or any craft) for the day of candy, dressing up and spookiness.

Of course, we didn't want you to feel that you have to create a Halloween creation, so it's a color challenge using those popular colors of this fun holiday - Black, Orange & Purple.

Bugaboo is our sponsor this challenge and I used one of their super fun digis in this creation.

I chose to go with a super funky Christmas card. I mean, really, do Christmas cards always have to be green, red & white? 

Have you used unusual colors in a Christmas card? If so, what colors did you use?

It's a Halloween craft party at Friday's Sentiments! Join us at Lady Anne's Paper Crafts for another fun challenge: Create & share a project for Halloween with the twist of using die cuts.

(Hint: My die cut is the plaid frame. Isn't that paper perfect for Halloween? It has all of the fun colors that go with spookiness!)

{PIN}spirational Challenge #26: Photo - Maple Tree In Autumn

Welcome, Autumn!

We are celebrating this beautiful season with a gorgeous tree for inspiration at {PIN}spirational Challenges.

Our sponsor is the wonderful Stitchy Bear Stamps. While I haven't used one of their digis in this creation, I have in the past (click here) & will definitely be doing so in the future.

Are you inspired? If so, please share your creation with us. I can't wait to see it!

 This creation is all about using what I have.

The only item that is "new" is the grosgrain ribbon, which is my new obsession!

The polka dot chipboard flower (right side) is at least 3 years old! Talk about hoarding :)

Have you been using up your stash lately? What is the oldest item you have in your supplies?
