"Spooky"

Halloween is coming and although I don't really get into it as far as dressing up or even decorating I do have to say card making and scrapbooking Halloween is a lot of fun. I made the scallop shaped card on my gypsy using a gift tag from  Christmas Cheer. I hid some parts, welded other parts and this is what I came up with.  (I LOVE my Gypsy.)  The Skelleton head is from Indie Art and the Spooky stamp is a $1 bin stamp stamped with white ink.

For the inside I just added some orange paper and stamped Happy Halloween. 

Hope you liked and arn't totally shocked to have gotten 2 post from me in a row...lol. I'm working on working smarter and not harder. Hope to see ya again tomorrow, thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday Sweet girl!

Hi everyone! Today was my sweet daughters 12th Birthday.  As I'm sure many of you understand, I can't believe it's been 12 years.  She volunteers at a place called Saddles of Joy.  It's a place where Autistic and disabled children and adults can go to ride horses.  She absolutely loves horses. In fact we got her her very first real horse saddle for her birthday.  Her favorite color is purple and she like Polk a dots.  All these were inspiration for the creation of this card.

For this card I used the Gypsy. I used Twinkle Toes for the shape of the card.  I welded them together in the Gypsy to make the shape card.

Card paper is Martha Stewart cut at 5x5"

The purple layer is DCWV, the Metallic Stack cut at 4.74x4.53

The horse is cut from Four Legged Friends at 3".

The Birthday sentiment is from Michael's cut out with the Fiscars Scallop oval punch.

The ribbon is Offray brand.

This was the first time I'd used the Four Legged Friends Cartridge. I think this cartridge is  kinda weird but the horse I think turned out pretty good.  She loved the card and that is what was important.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you come back again soon.

Hoot Hoot Hooray

This was such a fun Layout to do.  I've decided to make all my Cricut cuts larger for my Layouts and so far I really like how they are turning out.  This owl is from Hoot n Hollar. The Hoot Hoot Hurray is from Straight from the Nest.  I embossed the white using the swirl Cuttlebug folder.  The background paper is from DCWV.  I added Journaling later to the little blue square on the bottom right.

Thank you for dropping by and stay tuned for more Larger cuts on Layouts!

Halloween Candy Jar

I'm so excited I found these little jars at our $.99 only store. I used the Gypsy Font Cartridge for the pumpkin then just hid the outside of the pumpkin so that it just cut the face. I used black vinyl. I then placed the face on the jar and covered the entire jar with Etching cream. I then took off the vinyl and put candy corns inside. With all of the color from the candy it was really hard to see the face so I went ahead and put the vinyl face back on the jar added some orange ribbon and this is what I got. Thanks for looking!

I had this really ugly box that I found up on a shelf the other day that I have had for years. I bought a whole bunch of greeting cards and they came in the box. Well I don't use store bought cards anymore so I donated them to Goodwill and kept the box. I have been trying to find a storage solution for all the handmade cards that I've made. I make them in several different sizes so to find a container (that was cute) to fit them all was really hard. So when I found this box I decided to re decorate it. Now I love it it's perfect.

BACK OF BOX




Now you can't tell really well with these photo's but for the Butterfly and the letters I used DCWV glitter paper. The top of the box I used the Martha Stewart all occasion cake art cartridge. Then with Gypsy welded the "cards" together with opposites attract. The back of the box I used Base Camp. The paper was from the Flower Shower paper pack also by DCWV.

Crop Night

So I decided to attend a Scrapbooking Crop for the first time in probably 5 years. I always stay home and scrapbook. I've got way to much stuff to try and figure out what to bring. But I decided I needed the interaction with other crazy addicted scrappers like myself. It really was a lot of fun and I was able to get more done in one night than I ever would have done at home. I just have way too many distractions at home. So here are the pages that I was able to get done...



This LO here I'm super excited about.The picture just doesn't do it justice. I know it's super plain but the back ground which I call paper lace I made with my Gypsy. I took several shapes from the Home Decor Cartridge and welded them all together to get this one big cut. I would post the file here but to be completely honest with you I haven't figured out yet how exactly to do that. So just let me know if you want it and I will e-mail it to you.


So I know that they are really basic pages but with the amount of catch up I have to do I've been trying not to spend too much time on each layout. So I'm making them quick and too the point, for now anyways.
