Colorful Kraft's Halloween Blog Hop!

Hello there!  And welcome to the last stop on colorful kraft's Halloween blog hop!  I was tickled when Rebekah asked me to join in on the fun!  I had so much fun creating a few spooky projects for the hop!  I want to make sure that you came here from the right place, if you came from shelly's blog then you are in the right place!  If not make sure you head on over to Rebekah's blog where it all started!!!  Make sure you leave a comment and check back daily to colorful kraft's because there are prizes to be had all weekend long!!!!  Leave me a comment as well and I will have a random prize winner as well!!!  Here's my first project!!

I made this super fun mini-album out of some envelopes from the bank :)  You know the little ones that they put your money in!  Crazy what you think of while waiting for them to cash a check for you :)  hehe!  Anyways here are the pages...

 I fell in love with this DCWV stack that I stumbled upon while at joann's so i paired it up with some older scraps from my stash, that's the best part about making mini albums!!!  I can use scraps :) 

 The fun 3d embellishments are K&Co that are just perfect with the DCWV paper, well it's Halloween, it's all Orange & Black anyways!!  As you can see the pockets open up to put little treasures :) 

 

 

Thank you for taking the time to hop along with us!  I hope you had some inspiration and have a couple of ideas to create something fabulous for Halloween!!!

Scrap it With a Song - Taylor Swift Fearless

I'm sorry that I've been seriously slacking lately!  It's been over 3 weeks since my last post!!!  Eeek!  It won't happen again! I promise!  Today there was a new challenge over at SIWAS posted, new DT member Jennifer chose Taylor Swift's Fearless!  So I used the lyrics in the title of this page!

The paper I'm in love with, it's the new Jillibean paper!  It's fabulous!!  I honestly have so much more to share with you that I made during the Paper Niche's Crop Pink last weekend, but I've got 1 1/2 hours to finish 2 more posts that I need to schedule and finish packing!!!  Girl Scout camping ALL WEEKEND LONG!!!  fun fun fun!!

Breast Cancer Album

 

Happy Sunday Everyone!  I've been on this mini album kick lately and I made this one for a scrap friend of mine who lost someone close to her to breast cancer.  I played with UTEE for the first time and I think I am in love.  I put like 4 layers and stamped the dress form, here is a close up...

Pretty awesome seeing that it started off as a piece of cardboard!  I do on the other hand have UTEE all over my table and floors!! haha!  I am really happy with this album and love the fabric ties as well.  The inside of the album is all pink as well!  I just LOVE how the dress form came out, I'm totally in love with it!

Better late than never...

Don't forget to enter in the Sketches in Thyme open challenge, you can pretty much link up any project that you used a sketch for!  I created this layout based upon a sketch that I made...

 Make sure you go and link up because there is an amazing prize up for grabs! I've been having so much fun lately working with all my Webster's Pages I recently acquired!  I got an amazing Groupon deal for $25 I got a $100 worth of product!  I didn't have much Webster's Pages stuff

I'm also using another one of More Paper Than Shoes amazing roses :D  I have another project that I created that I will be sharing soon!

This is a layout that I made for the Nuts About Sketches challenge last week.  I'm not sure where last week went, because apparently I forgot to post both of these challenges!  whoops!  Here's the sketch for this layout!

Well that pretty much sums up last week!  Not sure where it went!  This week is on it's way to being crazy as well!  I had the day off and didn't get to spend anytime in my craftroom.  Being an adult and having to do things like cleaning and laundry are no fun! 

Scrap it With a Song & More MPTS amazing Flowers!!

Hello everyone!  I've had so much fun playing with the flowers from More Paper Than Shoes!  This spray was just amazing!  I actually made a 12x12 layout, can you believe it?  haha!  I made this layout kind of double dipping for the challenge this week over at Scrap it With a Song!  The challenge this week is to use Coldplay's "Fix You" as inspiration.  First off it's one of my favorite songs, I love it :D  I feel the song represents the challenges that my husband and I have overcome and are still dealing with just being married, as most of you know it's not easy.  After the week I had this layout could of gone many different ways, but lets go positive :D  Make sure you head over to Scrap it With a Song and get your entry in by the end of the month to win some fabulous goodies!  Also don't forget the DT Call at SIWAS ending Sept 20th.  We are going to pick at least 5 people to join the team!!!  How Fun!!!!

More Paper Than Shoes Guest Designer!

I was so lucky as to be selected to be a guest designer over at More Paper Than Shoes for the month of September.  I received a box full of wonderfulness on Friday night after a long day at work.  The flowers are just amazing.  Her roses are stunning.  I was immediately drawn to this red rose out of all the flowers that I received.  I knew that I wanted to alter a dress form for my first project.

I covered the dress form in vintage dictionary pages and modge podge and created the skirt using Webster's Pages trim I picked up at the Paper Niche.  Anna had sent me the crocheted trim and I had the gray rick-rack in my stash.  I knew I wanted to use the red flower, but it was missing something, so I used a vintage mini cake pan I had snagged from Amy and made a stand for the dress form, which gave me so much more room to embellish :D

I'm totally in awe and love at the same time with her roses, they are just amazing.  I have to make a few layouts as well with some of the flowers, but I have all these ideas for altered goodies instead, maybe only one layout!!  I have so many more goodies that the Amazing Anna sent me from More Paper Than Shoes! 

  
This is the collection that the red & yellow rose came from.  There are a bunch of new collections that are going to be released soon!  You can see them now if you check out and like More Paper Than Shoes on Facebook!!
I'll be creating more fun projects with the rest of my flowers over the next week so make sure you check back to see the rest of her amazing flowers!!!

First Sketch Over at Nuts About Sketches!

Happy Labor Day!  It's reveal day over at Nuts About Sketches!  This is my first week participating and for those of you who haven't been to Nuts About Sketches you should totally go check it out.  The team is compiled of 15 awesome designers and not to mention Shawn's sketches are awesome.  This is my take on the sketch.  I used the new My Mind's Eye 2 6x6 pad and a piece of vintage sheet music.  The one thing I love about scrapping 8x8 is that I can buy a lot of 6x6 pads cheap :D  So I can play with and afford all the new stuff!  So make sure you head on over to Nuts About Sketches and check everyone's work out!  Here is this week's sketch!  I hope everyone has a great Labor Day, I unfortunately am headed to work in a few here!
