Trick-or-Cheese!

I struggled with last week's House Mouse weekly challenge, which is "Lace it Up" (to use lace on any project that you created), I had so many ideas but just cannot make something that I envisioned. This card was supposed to be for last week's challenge, and again, after struggling, I just gave up and waited for this week's challenge.

And this week's challenge is a Sketch Challenge...phew! I'm pretty happy with the card except for the 3 purple party sprinkles on the right. I wanted it to be candy corns and I was pretty sure I had candy corn brads that I bought last year (Halloween after-sale) but you know how it goes, you see something on-sale and think that it's a great deal and it'll be perfect for a card next year, you'll place it somewhere that you know you'll remember the following year where you put it but when you need it... it's nowhere to be found!


This is Monika and yes, she knows that it's only September but she just wanted to make sure that this costume fits her. The background was supposed to be a patterned paper but I thought it would be better with a big block of cheese with a pumpkin just like her costume. I used my 1/4 circle hand-held punch, 1/2 and 3/4 circle punch to create the cheese on Barely Banana card stock. The pumpkin is a template that I found on the Internet, printed on Pumpkin Pie card stock cut and scored.
