Another challenge!

As I've been hopping around blogs today, I've come across a couple challenges I decided to enter. It's really just giving me more reasons to use all the old papers I have! I mean, how else can I convince my husband that I NEED more supplies?! He sees everything I have and to a man, he sees enough paper to last a lifetime! I just don't see it though!! :D
..Do we ever really have enough paper, embellishments, stamps and stickers?!
Anyway, moving on to the challenge I am entering. It's a sketch challenge from Pamela over at Pamela's World of Scraps. Sketch 225 is the one I used. Supplies I used are, Cosmo Crickets "Garden Variety" (on both layouts). One is of my niece and her strawberry colored hair and the other of my daughter at the fair. I changed up the sketch a little, too.
Once again, the picture isn't all that great. Not only am I taking them at night, but I am having to use a camera phone. Boo :(

Verve blog hop!!

I've never actually bought any  "Verve" stamps but have visited their website and blog many times. Their stamps are beautiful and their DT is absolutely amazing! They started their November release yesterday, Oct. 30. The DT is showing previews of each set and I highly suggest to check out each blog. So much inspiration! They're also giving away some stamp sets, so leave a comment on each blog by Nov.2!! I will definitely be buying one of their new sets! Merry and Bright is my fav so far! And speaking of buying, I need to go over to Simon Says Stamp to purchase their Christmas card kit before it sells out! Their kits are great, btw! I currently subscribe to their monthly card kits and I am in love with Kristina Werners' stamps!
Anyway! Sorry to ramble but I guess I just have stamps on the brain!
I also have posted a couple more pics of the card I made for the SSS "Autumn Leaves" challenge.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Simon Says Stamp challenge

First challenge I've done in a while, but since I'm constantly looking for a reason to use some of my older scrap supplies I thought I'd try out this weeks Simon Says Stamp challenge. However I just kept being pulled to my newer papers. Specifically, Simple Stories' "Harvest Lane". I love the colors in this line and the little flash cards are perfect for cards! I put this together this evening so the picture is not good at all. I will have to take another again in the morning but for now, here is my card :)

FALL 2012

Just a little about me..
My name is Brittany and I've always loved crafts. I used to do some scrapbooking, which was mainly just some plain white paper and construction paper, but it got the job done! It wasn't until a couple of years ago I stumbled upon scrapbook.com and the door to a new world of paper crafts was opened to me! I bought the newest papers, embellishments, ribbons- anything cute I could get my hands on, I bought! I also discovered card-making (Papertrey Ink to be exact) and then, wa-lah, it became an obsession! I went on a "craft" break for a year or so and now I've re-entered this amazingly, beautiful world of paper crafts! I've even taken up a couple other crafts too, like sewing!
Anyway, I've started with some of my older papers and created a layout for fall. Got the inspiration from PageMaps.. My new Best Friend!

Happy Fall :)
