Squeeze-a-Palooza

Decided to try out a complete new challenge this month (and a completely new one, in general, too!), hosted by a brand new stamp company, Fresh Squeezed Stamps!

Here's what you need to know:
  • Create a NEW project (card, layout, altered item, banner, tag, etc.) using the theme of this month's challenge: HALLOWEEN
  • You must use at least one Fresh Squeezed Stamps image (stamp or digital).  Projects using zero FSS images will be deleted.
  • Submit a DIRECT LINK to your blog post.  Projects not linked properly will be deleted.
  • You must mention this challenge and link to it in your blog post.  Feel free to grab the Squeeze-A-Palooza banner to use on your blog too!

No worries, if you don't have any of their stamps to play with, they are giving away a free digi stamp on the blog!

Here's mine:


Materials:
Paper: Misc. Bazzill cardstock, Neenah - Solar White, Doodlebug - Haunted Manor
Stamps/Inks: Black Archival Ink, Fresh Squeezed Stamps - Subway Series: Holidays, Memento - Tuxedo Black, Stampin' Up - Ghoulish Googlies

10 Minute Craft Dash

Here's the next 10 Minute Craft Dash....


How to Play
1) Create a card/craft project within 10 minutes using the color palette above

2) Post the time it took to create
You can pull out your supplies before your timer starts! 

Here's mine:


I have had Christmas cards/tags on the brain, so I really, really wanted to try to make some tags for this challenge. I technically only completed one tag during the time listed below, but I had stamped, cut, and embossed all the gingerbread men and also stamped all the backgrounds and cut all the tags -- it didn't take more than a minute or two after I finished the first one to complete all three, so I thought I'd include all three tags in the photo.

Time: 9:44

Materials:
Paper: Misc. Bazzill cardstock, kraft, Neenah - Solar white
Stamps/Inks: Memento - Paris Dusk, Versamark, Stamp&Cut Hero Arts Cookies, Fresh Squeezed Stamps - Subway Series: Holidays
Cutting/Embossing: Stamp&Cut Hero Arts cookies, Memory Box - Distressed Tag die, Zing Embossing Powder - White
Misc.: Ribbon from Michael's, Liquid Pearls - Ruby Red
