Just Us Girls Challenge #792 - WORD Week - Container - Cheers to Spooky Sips (Craft-O-Ween, Day 8)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge  #792 - Word Week where our hostess, Carol, has selected "Container" as the focal point on our cards.


A few of her suggestions: bucket, jar, basket, box, mug/cup/glass, bottle, bowl, pitcher/vase...and so on. Your container can be empty or filled with something; as long as your card/project depicts an image capable of holding something you're good to go.

Once again, we're delighted to have Jaydee joining us as our September Guest Designer.

I'm having a blast with my Spellbinder's Craft-O-Ween box. For this challenge, Day 8's skeleton mug takes the stage as a container for a frothy, marshmallow-topped brew, a 'sip' cookie, striped straw, bat stir stick and sweet little ghost. 


Please head over to the main blog to see how our guest and my teammates interpreted Carol's theme.
Then, bring out a container of your own and join us in the gallery.

AAA Birthday Challenge #77 - Snarky - Crap, I Forgot Your Birthday Cat (Simply Stated)

Hello,

Welcome to AAA Birthday Challenge #77 where we're inviting you to spice up your birthday cards by being SNARKY! Yep - perhaps some 'choice' language, a bit of teasing,  a snippet of sarcasm - anything to generate a hearty guffaw is perfect for playing along with us. 

My card captures the cat-astrophe of realizing you’ve missed someone’s birthday. I selected the wide-eyed, expression-of-shock cat, from Simply Stated Design, to be the star of the show and paired it with some cheeky speech bubbles. A little bit of sass; a little bit of snark.


Please head over to the main blog to see the fabulous SNARKY cards created by my wonderful teammates. Then, join us in the gallery with a snark or two of your own.

The challenge is open until Sept. 30th; plenty of time to play along.
