It’s spooky season and time to share my card for the Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge. This month’s challenge is “Peek-A-Boo!” I wanted to make a fun card for one of my Granddaughters so I came up with this cute purple monster.

I knew I need to make 3 cards, for 3 sisters so I decided to make a series of Halloween cards using the same size card base, and the same colours and patterned paper. This card is the first of the series. I am also using some of Karens new stamps on this card.

Holiday House Easter card- designer challenge

I was so excited when Karen Burniston chose this challenge for the September Design Team Challenge. The challenge was to chose a Holiday and add the Holiday House. She was hoping we would chose different holidays to show how versatile this cute little house can be. I chose to make an Easter card. The design changed in my mind several times but I knew I want to have an Easter egg hunt with pretty spring colours and this is what I came up with.
