Scoreboard meets Halloween.....

I was browsing thru You Tube like I always do and came across a video by Sarah Hamer.  She was making a wreath out of her Halloween papers that turned out so cute I had to give it a try.  Here is a link to the video that I used to make my wreath..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdTbqvgZ4O8&feature=related
I did change it up a little by gathering some sheer fabric in back of the foam board circle i used and layered mine on top of each other a little more than she did.  I have a few friends that might like this so I plan on making a few more wreath as they go together quickly!!! 

Go watch maybe you to will make one of these up for Halloween!!!!

A Truckload of Birthday

It seems we have so many birthdays this fall but of course our little grandsons rates high on our list!!!
Dom just loves cars and trucks.  He spends hours playing with matchbox cars and all the different trucks and vehicles he has gotten over the past year!!!  I found the Cricut lite cartridge Beep Beep last week and thought this was perfect for my grandson.  I am sure to be using it alot.  I think I might try and make a mini album from it!!!  I know he will love it!!!  I hope he loves his card!!!!

A Daughter-in-Law and a friend....

It is my daughter-in-laws birthday today..... and i made this card using cloud 9 papers and the Elegant Edges Cartridge.  I have lots of mulberry flowers and decided to make a butterfly with the flowers as part of the wings. I strung some beads for the body and attached with Glossy Accents.  Ink,pop dots, and layers with a ribbon finished it off.... 

The finished card...

I so loved making this card and am quite pleased with how it turned out.  The Elegant Edges cart made this so easy!!!!

~~Too cute fo Spook~~~

Trying our the card feature on Mini Monsters and using my new Peachy Keen Stamps.... What a wonderful combo!!!!  I usually don't do much stamping but I dug into my halloween stamps and couldn't resist the spiders or the sentiment!!!

Thanks for Looking!!!!!



Papercutzchallenge #109

Seems like when I go to a challenge site it always inspires me to do a little designing...of course with the help of alot of others that are so inspiring!!!  I was on Cricut's Message boards scrolling thru the cards and LindaK from The Paper Boutique posted a wonderful Halloween card with a great video on making a simple pop-up card.  Go check it out!!!  I had seen that Paper Cutz Challenge had a card challenge using Ghostly things and the colors purple, orange, black, and white only this week.  So using the video on a pop--up card from Linda and the challenge this is what I came up with!!!  (i also used the make it yourself wobble with Linda has video instructions for so my little ghost woobles and that makes his eyes move too!!!

I used Cricut's Mini Monsters for my little ghostly guy and the phrase feature for the popped up Haunting on the insides.  Wanted to leave a blank space to add a message or a gift card for one of my many neices or nephews that I will be sending this to this halloween season!!!  Thanks for stopping and taking a look with what I hope to be the start of many more to come......

New technique tried....

After watching utube and seeing Sketch 1 of Raq's weekley card challenge on the Provo Craft messageboards I just had to try inking up a embossing folder to see if it had the look of the sketch.
I was impressed with how it defined the image more and gave the embossing a deeper looking image.  I used a new butterfly punch i bought recently.  I really have to stay out of the stores.  Seems like I am buying more than I am scrapping!!  Thanks for taking a look!!!

New Cartridge/Challenge Entry

 

 

I haven’t posted or made a new card is so long.  I have been busy working on a tag challenge (my first) and have neglected my cards.  On My Craft Spot, this week they are challenging all to make a project for a friend.  I just purchased a couple of the newer Cricut Lite cartridges with Bump in the Night being one of them.  Even though we are all a little different we have friends of all kinds.  These cute little monsters reminded me of that!!!  I have watched Utube , visited different sites trying to get motivated to make a card.  I am sure you will see other cards similar to mine but I changed it up and combined different things to get my card!!  A few embossing folders and some ink button and bows and I have a card to send to a friend!!  Hopefully this card has broken the ice on the freeze I have been in making cards!!!
