Good Day!

--You should be arriving here from Renee Aslette's Blog--

For the hop today, I've used the October Kit-of-the-Month!

As you can see, I've stamped the reindeer, holiday sentiment 
and holly leaves with berries and trimmed out in different ways.
I colored in the holly leaves and added a sheen of glitter to 
the little berries.  After cutting out the reindeer, I layered it
with a larger oval cut from Simple Stories Handmade Holiday!

Distressing the edges of the oval and banner lends to the homespun
feel of the papers used.  

I love any circle-style stamps where I can punch them out 
and then layer with a larger scalloped circle.  When I spotted
these adorable "Happy Halloween" circles in the kit, I knew they'd
be perfect for topping off these treat boxes for Sydnee's dance class party!

I've had these treat boxes for several years...so glad that we finally got to use them!

That's all I have for today's hop...now time to head over to Shilo Miles' Blog!
Thank YOU

Unity Sketch Challenge

Hello!
I am a couple of days late bringing this to my blog,
but we have a new Unity Stamp Co.
KIT OF THE MONTH SKETCH CHALLENGE
.
.
.
yet, somewhere in my thinking I failed to use an acutal 
Kit-of-the-Month stamp on my card.  Yes, a DOH moment for sure *blush*
Anywho!  Here's the sketch:

And here's my card using the beautifully gorgeous stamp set:

Patterned papers by October Afternoon.
I stamped the hearts onto two different papers and trimmed the red
center heart out.  After machine stitching the larger heart to the base paper, I added
the red heart over that with a thin foam dot.  Wanting to elevate the "Live what you love"
oval, I used a thicker foam dot.
Simple.
I love simple!

Now, the gals over at Unity have shared some amazing cards using this sketch
AND (appropriately) a Kit-of-the-Month stamp.

See you tomorrow...lots of blogging is about to happen at 
The Papered Cottage 
LOL
it's been awhile, hasn't it :)
