October Cookies - Take 3

I'm excited that we get to do a 3rd Cookie Challenge this month !! We also get 3 paychecks this month so I am feeling extra lucky !! I have to say that the cookie photo for Challenge #129 is absolutely gorgeous - those colors together are fantastic. This Challenge runs through November 13, so be sure to link up a project by the deadline.

I decided I wanted to use that amazing color combination for my project !! I have been working on my November planner pages and had the perfect stamp to use  from Your Next Stamp. Ellie Loves Lattes was the perfect size for my new Rifle Paper planner. 

• I stamped  Ellie on watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink and then cut it out with the matching die.
• The stamped image was colored with my Tombow Dual Brush Pens .
• I adhered Ellie to the right side of my November monthly planner page.I used Autumn patterned washi tape and multiple Autumn-themed stickers to complete my pages. Dots were placed on the dates that I work. Coffee cups are placed on the days I have coffee dates with my bestie.
• Many of the Autumn stickers that I used were from PaperHouse  Productions .

Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste / October

Our weather here in Virginia Beach is finally starting to cool off.. Today we did have a 75 degree day but now it is cool enough to open windows and there is a lovely breeze!! Celeste chose our Mood Board pic for this month and it is a perfect Autumn image.

I had a fabulous new stamp to use for this month's project.  Ellie Loves Lattes from Your Next Stamp was so much fun to ink up, die-cut and color !! I know that I will be using this stamp set often and already have ideas for a Christmas version !! But for now, she is dressed in her cute Fall outfit, drinking her Pumpkin Spice Latte.

• I stamped  Ellie on watercolor paper with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink, die-cut her with the matching die and then colored her with Tombow Dual Brush Pen Markers .
• The sentiment was also stamped with Nocturne Ink, cut to leave a small margin and then colored also with Tombow markers.
• At the top of a brown card base, I adhered an Autumn floral patterned paper border, that was paper-punched with a Martha Stewart border punch.
• I wrapped Orange-striped twine several times around the patterned-paper at the top of the card and tied it in a knot.  ( Fact about me - I hate tying bows because I can't ever seem to get them perfect enough to suit me !! ) 
• At the bottom of the card, I placed a strip of honeycomb washi tape.
• Ellie and the sentiment were adhered to the front of the card using my Pink Scotch ATG gun.

This really was a fun image to play with and the quality of the stamps and die were amazing !! I'm sure that I will be using them frequently !! I'm looking forward to seeing what Celeste came up with for this month's card. I'm thinking it has something to do with coffee, since we both love to create coffee-themed cards !! You can find her project at her blog Crafting Junky .  My coffee for this post is Pecan Pie and I'm drinking it iced in a fun cup that I found at Wal-Mart !! I also used my favorite Prisma Photo App for my iPhone to make the picture even more fun !!

Thank you for stopping by again this month to see what Celeste and I are up to. We hope that you are inspired by our projects and would love if you would sign up to follow our blogs. 

Until next time, Stay Creative !!
