Not really Crafty or Scrappy!

Hey Krafty peeps!!!!! So today is the Krafty scrappy challenge...... and I made something that's neither Crafty NOR scrappy! ha ha ha!

So, the premise here is to make something that is NOT a card.... and I DID do just that! This, my friends is...... CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, I stamped and colored these sweet little gnomes from the Whimsical Gnomes set and adhered them to some clear acitate strips.  Then, I stuck those into the cake.  I decorated the rest of the cake using silk flowers and leaves to make them look like they were in their natural environment. 

For this challenge you can create ANYthing your little heart desires as long as it's NOT a card!!! Calendars, bookmarks, pocket pages, traditional scrap pages, holiday gifties, planner pages... you get the picture! Come play along with us each month and let's get some of those photo's out of boxes and on to something creative and fun!! You will have a whole month to play along and you can play as many times as you like! Here are a few things to remember...
THIS MONTH'S THEME: ANYTHING GOES!!!
1. Create ANY scrap page, Project Life Layout or pocket page cards, altered item, etc. JUST NOT A CARD!
2. MUST be a NEW creation (created on or after this post date)
3. MUST use Kraftin Kimmie stamps to be entered in to the drawing.
4. You have a month to play, enter AS MANY TIMES as you'd like!
5. PRIZES?!? Of course there are prizes!! Once we've reached 5 entries, we draw a random winner (winner will be drawn at the close of the challenge)!!
6. You have until Monday, November 28th @ 12:00 pm Eastern to get your entries in.
7. Be sure to also share your creations on our Krafty Friends FB page so we can all drool and OOHHHH and AHHHHH!

Have fun getting Scrappy! Tootles!!!!!

Sp, without further adieu, here's my Fall colors. 
One of my sweetest friends asked me to make a card to congratulate her brother on getting engaged! She sent me a photo of the couple and I modified the stamped image (Let's Celebrate) a tad to fit the subjects.  He is well known for his super full goatee and she has amazingly beautiful chocolate colored hair.  I had a lot of fun color these two up and dressing them in soft fall colors for their engagement.
