OCC......Numbers



EDITED TO ADD: I have had alot of e-mails about the calendar I used. Here is a link to the one I printed out from Splitcoast  6 x 6 calendar,  I then cut it down to use on my card, (3-1/2" x 3"). I know that is a waste of paper but it was what I could find when in a hurry.


Happy Saturday Peeps, It is time for another Our Creative Corner Challenge. 
This week our hostess is the fabulous Sharon Wheet from Designs by Sharon. She has a fun challenge for us, here it is in her own words:

Everyone has a favorite number, or a number they will always remember.  So, for this challenge, include a number on your paper craft item.   Your paper craft item can be a card, tag, 3-D item, or scrapbook page.  Be creative on how you
incorporate your 'number'.  This challenge is pretty straight forward, without a lot of specific guidelines or requirements.  And don't forget to have FUN! 

I don't have alot of number stamps, well not any really, and couldn't think of a way to incorporate numbers into my card until I thought about a calendar. I decided to print off an October calendar and use it. 
The base of the card is basic black card stock and I followed that with some Cajun Craze and the DSP I used is from the Frightful Sights pack from Stampin Up. I printed out the calendar onto some whisper white card stock, I got the template for this from Splitcoaststampers, there is alot of printable calendars on there.
I trimmed it up and matted it with cajun craze and basic black card stock. I added a little zig zag on the side that I cut out with the Perfect Trim Die and some cajun craze card stock. I punched out a little circle in some scrap paper and layered it over the "31" and sponged it lightly with cajun craze ink.

 

I added a little haunted house from the Spooky Bingo Bits stamp set and the sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. I used some basic black ribbon and a few silver pearls to finish it off.


Be sure to check the Our Creative Corner Blog to see what the rest of the design team came up with for this fun  challenge. I hope you can find some time to play along and if you do don't forget to link it up over on the Our Creative Corner Blog so we can all see it!

Thanks for stopping by today and HAPPY STAMPING!!!!
