A couple of Early H-ween pics


We played dress up for a bit this afternoon with some hats I picked up at the local Dollar Store.


These were just too fun not too share.
Happy EARLY Halloween!

Imaginisce deliciousness.

Have you ever had a paper you loved SO MUCH, you didn't want to use it? That's what has happened here. I have had the following beautiful floral papers for over TWO years (this is back in the day when I didn't buy 2 of the same sheet and was afraid to use it for fear of ruining it-LOL) I was able to mix this older line with the newer Twitterpated line (the small items you see cut out). And I LOVE how this floral pattern looks. Who says you can't use flowers on a 'boy' page!?


* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Supplies: All items Imaginisce EXCEPT: cardstock (prism & bazzill), alphas from Michael's, Paint from $1.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


I liked the flowers on the previous page SO MUCH in fact, I used the excess I trimmed when making my pattern paper shape and used it to frame THIS LO. I took extra care when cutting out the flowers from another sheet of pattern paper and added them as an element here. I found the alphas were getting lost on my LO, so I ran a light stitch over them.

Supplies: Kraft CS-The Paper Company, papers-Imaginisce, buttons-from stash, alphas-Am. Crafts.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
This last LO is a re-do (I know so many people dead-set against it but REALLY this one NEEDED to be re-done!) I had a great time shaping my paper (I trace my interesting die cut shapes on a piece of thin chipboard-usually something you get off the back of a paper pack, cut them and then use as needed). I cut my cute little embellies from pieces of paper and pop dotted them for dimension. I then stitched several pieces before adhering for added interest and finished off with some bling. I am WAY happier with this LO and I put a SERIOUS dent in my stash with it! woohoo!

Supplies:cardstock-Bazzill, papers-ALL Imaginisce, buttons-stash, bling-Imaginisce & unknown, border punch-Martha Stewart, alphas-Scenic Route
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

This last item is just a simple card. I made my die cut border with a new punch, backed it with contrasting cardstock & then hand cut around it. I next added a punched border, a simple bow and circle punched sentiment. I cut the cute penguins at the bottom from pp, inked and pop dotted them. Easy peasy!

Supplies: Cardstock-scalloped swiss-dot Bazzill , papers-Imaginisce, penguins/sentiment-Imaginisce, ribbon-unknown, border punches-Martha Stewart.

Thanks for stopping by and peeking at my new work!

Have a Happy Monday!

YIKES. Some MUCH needed updating.

I can't believe how long it's been since I have updated this thing. YIKES. I have been plenty busy scrapping but unfortunately it's ALL DT stuff-so I can't share-yet ;) .
First and foremost, I have to say WOW. I had THE BEST weekend (despite the amount of crazy-bad rain we got!) I went to LCOMs very first CROP this weekend and got to spend two days with some of my FAVORITE people ever! We laughed, we shopped, we laughed, we ATE, we laughed some MORE and we caused a commotion at the local Michael's (we even got a bit of scrapping in!). My hat goes off to Tanya, aka. Tinkerbell this weekend. She pulled off an AMAZING event (from doing her own catering, to hand making the take-out goodie boxes, to bringing FABULOUS scrappy goodies and making sure to stop by and chat with everyone to boot! I will NEVER ubderstand how she literally does it ALL!!!) Thank you again, Tinkie for hosting such a FAB event!

Have you ever hung onto something SO LONG that you forgot you had it?? That's what I did with these papers from Imaginisce. I just found them on the weekend. I have had for 2 years now (at least) BUT I LOVE the way that they look with this picture, the alphas & against the kraft cardstock.
