Paper Smooches October Challenge

Sometimes, you need a little inspiration when you've lost your crafty mojo.  I have not felt like creating lately.  Life stressors can sometimes get in the way.  So, I took the suggestion of a friend and forced myself to sit down and create.  Often, I'll look for challenges that can offer a theme and help jump start my creativity.  Today's project was created for the October challenge over at 


(FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links.  This does not affect your purchase price.)






The challenge was to use one of the design team member projects for your inspiration.  I chose inspiration from this card by Michelle Boyer.  You can check out her project here.


I followed her ink blending background theme, using the Paper Smooches 
Hot Dot Stencil along with blending tools and ink from Scrapbook.com.  You'll find all the product links at the end of this post.




Paper Smooches You Are a Blessing die, Essentials stencil, Laurels dies


Where Michelle has placed her leafy accents, I used opposite corners and placed ink blended leaves using the Paper Smooches Linked Leaves Die, ink blending first on Neenah cardstock, then splattering with brown paint, before die cutting.

I also added puffy stickers from Crate Paper, instead of the small embellishments that she used, and heat embossed a sentiment from the Scrapbook.com Fall Sampler stamp set onto orange cardstock.





So, next time you feel like you've lost your crafty mojo, visit some of your favorite craft websites and look for a challenge to help you get going.  See you next time!  Terri
