I am so excited to announce that Cindy from Cindy’s Scraptastic Designs (her blog used to be Cindy's Little Creations) has asked me to be a part of her Design Team!! I am just so excited because I love her images they are so darn cute and adorable and tons of fun to work with.

BOO!

Today I have another wonderful Halloween card made with one of Cindy's Little Creations adorable digi stamps.

This adorable little guy is called "Say Boo"

I kept this card really very simple as it is supposed to be a masculine Halloween card. The background paper is from DCWV’s Midnight Spell stack. I heat embossed around the haunted house and added glossy accents to the bats. The “Boo” was colored with Prisma colored pencils and I added embossing around the ghost. (not too much sparkle.) To finish it off I added some Divine Twine and doodled with my gel pen.

I hope you enjoyed my card and have a great day.

Just a reminder, Whimsical Wednesday has a fabulous new challenge up today. You’ll want to swing by and check it out.

Wishing you a Happy Birthday!

I made this card for my husbands cousin who's Birthday is around the corner. I knew after seeing this adorable digi stamp from Cindy over at Cindy's Little Creations That I needed to use her for this Birthday card.

For this card I used the spider web punch from Martha Stewart along the side and used my white gel pen to add stitching. The background paper is from K & Co last years Halloween line. The white paper was embossed with Cuttlebugs "Polka Dot" folder and that cute little witch is from Cindy over at Cindy's Little Creations and is called "Witch With A Banner." She was colored with my Prisma colored pencils and is pop dotted up on the polka dot paper. I added Stickles in "Lime Green", and "Orange Peel" and as a finishing touch I added little orange earrings.

On this card I also colored and re-cut, then, mounted on pop dots several parts of the image. (the banner w/sentiment, hat band, and patch.) Here is a closeup so you can see the great dimension it adds.

I hope you enjoyed my card and have a great day. :)

Happy Halloween!

Today’s card is very simple but I love it!

The orange back ground paper was made using Cindy’s pumpkin digi stamp called "Pumpkin Cutie". I high lighted them by adding Stickles in Lime Green, Cinnamon, and Fruit punch to the leaves, stem, and cheeks. The sentiment stamp is from Peachy Keen and the border stamp is from Michael’s. I heat embossed both with white.

I hope you enjoyed my card and have a great day.

Whimsical Wednesday ~ No Tricks Just Treats

Welcome to our Whimsical Wednesday challenge.

Todays challenge is “No Tricks, Just Treats”. You will need to create a bag, box, or some fun way to wrap up treats.

This challenge was so much fun to do that I decided to make 2 projects. :)

For my first project I decided to make a gift for my daughter’s dance person, Miss Lisa. The milk carton is a cut file I got from “The Cutting Cafe” but instead of cutting out the image that came with it I decided to cover my milk carton with some Halloween scraps.

Here on the side you can see the I used my embossing pen again. I picked out the vampire to do the embossing on.

I also used the pen on the bat border. I love how the embossing made it pop. The twine I used is Trendy Twine from Annie's Paper Boutique .

Here is a close up of the front. The tag is also from “The Cutting Cafe” and popped up on foam tape. That cute little pumpkin is a Martha Stewart stamp that I heat embossed. Now on to my second project.

After seeing the milk carton my daughter asked if we could make some little purses of her friends in the nieborhood. The purses were cut fom the Cricut “Plantin Schoolbook” cartridge and filled with some cute little goodies. These were finished off with a sentiment tag also from “The Cutting Cafe” that I tied on with Tinsel Ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique .

Here is a close up of the tag.

I hope you enjoyed my project and can’t wait to see what fun projects you come what with.

Our fabulous sponsors for this challenge are:

Now please go to Whimsical Wednesday to see what the other DT members have created for this fun challenge.

Super Cute Halloween Card

Happy Monday everyone!

My DT sister, Cindy from Cindy's Little Creations has been creating some of the most adorable and fun digi stamps I have ever seen and she was kind enough to give us some to try out.

I can’t wait to show you what I made with it.

Isn’t this little pumpkin so darn cute!! I just love these stamps! I made, correction, I had my husband make the cute and fun back ground paper with the same pumpkin stamp. It took him quite some time but I think it was well worth it. The cute little pumpkin was colored with my Prisma colored pencils and Glossy Accents added to the tooth and eyes. The beautiful crinkle ribbon is from Prairie Bird Boutique

To make this card really pop I actually colored two of the same stamp and then cut out the leaves and cheeks of the second one and mounted them on foam tape.

Here you can see the dimension in the picture.

Here is the inside.

The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps and says: "The smallest Pumpkins have the biggest Grins."

Here is a close up of a button I made by punching out one of the little pumpkins with a 3/8in punch from the background and coloring it with Bic markers.

I love how this card turned out! I hope you enjoyed and have a great day.

For the hop today I was asked to create a Halloween scrapbook layout. This layout was made for my then 3-year-old daughter's Halloween pictures and my then 5-year-old-son's Halloween pictures.

As is my usual size this double layout is 8.5x11

Here is the first page.

The title was cut from the Cricut "Birthday Bash" cartridge on white glitter cardstock. The spiderweb border is from Martha Stewart. I used tinsel ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique to add some bling to my photo mats. Down at the bottom the fence was cut from the Cricut "Paper Doll Dress Up" cartridge. My journaling pumpkin was cut from the Cricut "Create A Critter" cartridge. The extra pumpkin die cuts came from K & Company.

Here is the second page.

For this page the bats and moon came from K & Company, I added home made glitter spray to the moon to give it a nice sparkle and I added silver Stickles to the bats. The ghost are attached to a piece of cardstock that sides in and out as a jounaling tag and they were also cut from the Cricut "Paper Doll Dress Up" cartridge Their faces were stamped with Peachy Keen stamps.

Here are both pages of my 2 page layout.
