Meljen's Designs...So Cute!

TGIF!!
I hope everyone is having a fabulous Friday!  It's been pretty quiet for me.  I was able to finish up a few cards that I started yesterday, even with it being our Anniversary (see post here).
It seems lately I have been obsessed with using images from Meljen's Designs.  I bought a bunch of her images recently with a 50% off sale she just had, and they are just so darn cute!  So many ideas run through my head as I scan the images that I just can't help but make a few cards with them :)

This is my first card.  I am in such a Halloween/Fall kick right now!  Maybe I'm just done with this heat and humidity and I'm ready for cooler weather :)  So a lot of what I have been working on has centered around fall and Halloween...which honestly is okay with me since it is my favorite season.
For this card, I followed the sketch at Mojo Monday.  Such a fun sketch!  While we were in MI I bought a large DCWV fall paper pack from JoAnn's, so that is where all these papers are from.  The image is Cat O Lantern from Meljen's Designs.  I've colored it in with my colored pencils.  I also printed off the Cute Corner Spider, cut around the edges and stuck him in the corner.  I thought that was a fun addition to the card :)

The sentiment is printed on my computer and then flagged and tucked behind the image.  I cut the scallop frame from my Lacy Labels cartridge, and then cut the image out with my Spellbinders Oval.  Added a ribbon and bow, and some silver glitter to the web and image to finish everything off!

This card is entered in the following challenges:
    Mojo Monday Sketch #253

This next card is not fall, but still Meljens :)

I have had this blue paper in my stash forever!  It was one of those papers I grabbed because it caught my eye, and I love blue...but it's so bold that I shy away from it when I'm looking for papers to use.  But when this card idea popped into my head, and I passed this paper while thumbing through my stash I knew it would be perfect!  And it matched perfect with the red dotted paper!

The image is I Love You This Much from Meljen's, colored with pencils and mounted on a frame cut from Lacy Labels.  I inked around the image frame so that it stood out a little, since it has a white frame...I wanted there to be a distinction between the image and it's frame.

I used my heart border punch at the bottom and then used the little hearts that were punched out as the embellishments on the side.
I completed the image sentiment on the inside:

Sorry for the bad pictures.  I seem to be having a bit of trouble with lighting in my craft room...and it's resulting in very dark, grainy pictures...
