Challenge Gallery and New Challenge!

Please excuse the following picture heavy post – I can’t help it, there are just too many cute Halloween cards!

Check out this Boo Box by Samantha Sibbet – wouldn’t it be an awesome way to invite fellow friends to a Halloween party?

Boo! by Alice Wertz combines two challenges in one – remember the banner challenge last week? Banners + a Halloween theme = major cuteness.

Another combo challenge and another one by Samantha Sibbet (she’s all over these challenges – way to go girl!)

Happy Halloween by Samantha Sibbet

Kelley Eubanks blew me away with her plethora of Halloween cards this week! I’m a sucker for wide striped ribbon like the kind she used here on her Creepy card.

A hand-stitched felt pumpkin by Kelley is fun to look at and I bet it’s fun to touch!

Happy Halloween by Kelley Eubanks

Another Kelley creation – buttons stitched onto white circles as spooky floating eyeballs. Love it!

Eye See You by Kelley Eubanks

I told you Kelley had some cute cards! This last one is what I’m definitely thinking this time of the year…

I’m seeing crepe paper pop up all over the place – do I detect the next big thing in scrapbooking? Samantha dazzles us once again with this Jeepers Creepers card.

Cute. Dimensional. Colorful. Just the way I like ‘em! This card by Michelle Philippi will definitely make the recipient smile.

I’m loving the combinations of patterns and colors in this festive Boo Hoo card by Amy Heller.

Boo Hoo by Amy Heller

Another Amy Heller creation – check out the paper pieced cat! And I’m very fond of the muted colors which give it a vintage feel.

Scaredy Cat by Amy Heller

Whew! Talk about inspiration overload! Which is a good thing of course :)

Time for this week’s challenge! I’m head over heels for this card by Kim Hughes featured in the November 2009 issue of CARDS. I love all the white space, the pops of bright, fun color, and the little collage on the corner. Think you can make something similar? I’d love to see!

What color scheme is your favorite or inspires you most?
All I have to do is look on J.Crew and their hip and trendy clothing colors inspire me the most.

What is the last book you read?
I just finished reading the entire Harry Potter series. Soooo good.

You are suddenly transported into a different period in history.  Where would you choose to go?
15th century Florence because that was the height of the Renaissance - think Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, etc.

Do you have a blog?
Of course! It's chrisandpaige.blogspot.com. Thanks for stopping by!
