Another Challenge:

I am a big fan of Kassidy over at Inking It Up Crazy. Click here to read her post on this super FUN challenge. I made a really cute scrapbooking page. I plan on using it for the MOMS Club Halloween party I attended with my two boys a.k.a Mario & Red Ninja

Here is what this weeks challenge is:
Make a project using: Black, Orange and Purple

I used some extra spiders from the goody bags (see previous post for the info on the spiders) I handed out, 2 pieces of 6x12 cricut paper (taped the sides to make a 12x12 page), stickers I found at Walmart, purple Studio G pigment ink and extra paper scraps for the picture boarders. I really like how this turned out

Have a spooky day!!!

My Pinkalicious Blog Hop Challenge:

Challenge: Make a goodie bag or 3-D item that is for a Holiday. Any Holiday or Occasion will be perfect. If you want to join in on the fun...click here.

I have 3 goody bags to share with you!! All 3 bags have the same sort of candy but different looks.

First Bag: Have a SWEEEET Fall Break. These bags were made for my son's school for all the teachers and staff. I used Smiley Cards cartridge to make the candy corn card. I am totally INTO glitter paper and just can't get enough. I used pop dots to put up the note from our parent group for the teachers. We filled the bags with several kinds of candy corn.







Second Bag: Pumpkin Tears. These bags were handed out to all the students in my son's class. I tweeked a poem I found online to make it a little bit more appropiate for the kids. I used my spots & dots embossing folder for my cuddlebug and just cut the poems out in ovals using my Creative Memories cutting system. (I had to dust that thing off...all my creative memories stuff is so neglected these days). I used ink chalk to give the spots & dots more pop. I filled the bags with candy corn.



Third Bag: MOMS Club Halloween Bags. I used candy corn filled bags and made the cutest spiders for our annual MOMS Club Halloween party. I used googly eyes, glitter paper and scraps of paper I had on hand. I cut at 2.55 width x 1.84 height on my gypsy. I found this CUTE spider using the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge. The spider is found under accessories 2, 3rd row, first button. I hid the mouth and eyes so I could attach the googly eyes to each one. Each spider has a pop dot under them to raise them up a little. I think these might be my favorite goody bag I made so far.





I hope you enjoyed some of my goody bags...not it's time to go blog hop some more and get more ideas for more goody bags!!

Have a great, crafty, glittery day!

CANNON BALL

Sean had asked for a pool party over the summer in 2010...however it was such a terrible year for my family I was unable to get it organized let alone work up the energy to do it. He was very understanding so because of that once school started up in August 2010 I found the first 1/2 day and planned a pool/popsicle party for him and his friends. We were able to get pictures of each boy doing a cannon ball into the pool. I had extra sun's from Sean's last day of school bags, which I used as a frame of him jumping in. I love how this page turned out.

On the top of the page that is the invitation I made for Sean to hand out. I always make/keep an extra invitation for my pages. I like to incorporate them some how. I did this page during my scrapbook retreat and one of the girls came up with the idea to do little tags next to all the pictures of the boys. I wanted to put their names but couldn't figure out how to do it. I have so much on one page I just didn't have the room in my journal box.




This was one of my top 5 favorite pages I did during my get away. I hope you enjoy it...enjoy the rest of your summer!!

Keep on Craftin'

THE BIG DAY:
I am going to a wedding next weekend in Mexico and I needed to make a card to go with the gift my parents and I are giving. I did some searches online for some cute ideas and came across this person's CUTE cards and such.

I am "borrowing" one of her wonderful ideas for my card. The bride's colors are turquoise and cobalt blue...so I think this came out so, so, so SWEET!


My favorite technique is square, with a mat, glitter paper and Stickles.
My favorite color combo black & white

**Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge (for wedding dress & tux lapels)
*Indie Art Cartridge (for diamond for tux)
*Beyond Celebrations Cartridge ("the big day")
*Glitter Paper Pack by Colorbok (loving me some glitter paper but I WILL NOT USE CHEAP PAPER AGAIN) As you can see some of the black glitter is on the white diamond and wedding dress
*True Blue Stickles
*Zots 3D clear adhesive dots
*Black 8 1/2 x 11 paper cut in half
