Reverse Confetti - happy boo day!

Hey there, 'Fetti Fans!

How stinkin' cute is this kitty from the new Too Cute To Spook stamp set?!  LOVE her so much!  Yes, I think she's a her!  LOL!

I'm also a BIG FAN of Reverse Confetti's Quick Card Panels...as a layer girl, these panels tickle my fancy every release! 

Here are all of the Reverse Confetti goodies that I used on my fun card today!

So much fun, REALLY!!!  That's exactly what happens when you play with your Reverse Confetti stash!  Nothing but FUN!!!

What's just as much fun than that?!  Playing along at the ColourQ!!! 

 Here's #309...perfect for Halloween!

Here I put together a little Halloween card using the newly released Too Cute To Spook stamp set and coordinating Too Cute To Spook Confetti Cuts.  The spooky kitty is nestled with some orange twine, a Triangles Pretty Panels Confetti Cuts, a black/white doily and one of our awesome Fall Fun Quick Card Panels!  Oh, and a little peek a boo effect from the Envie Wrap Confetti Cuts finishes off my layered creation!  

I hope you are inspired to start whipping up some Halloween fun using your Reverse Confetti stash today!   

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!

Pink Power Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pink Power Blog Hop!

My good friend, Chaitali of Cuts, Crops & Creativity, invited me along with some other designer friends to join her in spreading awareness of breast cancer and support our loved ones who have been affected by breast cancer.

Chaitali has rounded up some of her crafty friends to help spread breast cancer awareness. This is a cause close to her heart after her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year.  Chaitali designed the Verve Stamps Pink Power stamp set for her mom with a lot of love.  She is also sponsoring this hop with the set for the hop guests, while some of the Verve Designers are playing in the hop today, too! 

I was inspired by the new Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #267 and the ColourQ Challenge #262.

There is another way that you can participate in raising breast cancer awareness!  All you have to do is send an inspirational card to the Splitcoaststampers Hope You Can Cling To event.  

I used the wonderful Verve stamp set, Pink Power, along with the Ribbon Die, Pennant Trim Die, and Wavy Hearts Die...then embellished with some Signature Sequin Mix.

There's also still plenty of time to play along with the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Bow Tie, sponsored by Waffle Flower Crafts!

I used Waffle Flower Crafts Bowtiful Stamp Set and Bowtiful Die Set on my fun card!

 The ColourQ Challenge #253 has a similar color scheme to the Bow Tie challenge, so I'm join to link this one up over there, too!

I tucked the circles from the Stitched Duo #2 Die under the frame and layered the Stitched Film Strip Die over the top to embellish with the big Waffle Flower Crafts Bowtiful bow and sequin sprinkles!

Specifically, the "sprinkles" I added are Pretty Pink Posh's

6mm Aquamarine Sequins

6mm Lemon Drop Sequins

6mm Lemon Meringue Sequins

6mm and 4mm Sand Sequins

Yes, sequin heaven!
