Scor-Pal More than One Score Challenge #53 Fall/Harvest/Halloween

A new month means a new challenge at More Than One Score at Scor-Pal and this time we are looking for your "Fall/Harvest/Halloween" themed projects.
You make an "Anything But a Card", a card with a fancy fold, anything as long as it has more than a single score and that you let us know where you used your Scor-Pal in the project.

For my treat holder I decided to combine Christmas and Halloween by making a Christmas Cracker style holder with a Halloween theme!

It is a pretty simple design and can be altered to different sizes for your needs.











I really hope you liked this and will go over to More Than One Score at Scor-Pal to see the other fabulous projects from our talented Design Team and will enter a project of your own!

A Gem of a Challenge #228 Halloween or Halloween Colors

I usually start with a happy line but today is different.
Sadly after 9 years Janet is closing down her Pink Gem Designs store and this challenge will be ending.
I cut down a lot on my papercrafting but stayed with this team as I just loved all the design team and Janet's gorgeous digi's
All is not completely lost though as she will continue to sell a limited portfolio over at her Pink Gem Etsy Store

So I'm sharing my final card for the A Gem of a Challenge and this final theme is Halloween/Halloween Colors





Card Recipe:
Image - Halloween Chloe
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - Basic Grey
Sentiment - Karen Foster
Border Die - Die - Versions






It was bittersweet creating this card and saying goodbye to the ladies as teammates but we will still hang out on Facebook and will be following Janet on her Etsy journey.
