That's Spooky

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Thank you for all the birthday wishes yesterday. Olive Garden was super yummy and I went for a short bike ride with my daughter this morning on my new bicycle. She got tired before me, so I think next time I might be on my own. I'll see if I can convince her to travel a little further. I think I can be quite persuasive sometimes.

 

I decided to make a Halloween card this afternoon using the CPS sketch.

The sentiment is an Eposxy sticker...reminded of some ooey gooey solution that would come out of a witch's cauldron.

 I love using sketches. No one's card ever looks the same even those you start with the same layout.

 

Materials:

Echo Park paper ~ Apothecary Emporium

black card stock

October 31st Cricut cartridge ~ cauldron  cut at 2"

orange gems

Recollections stickers

 

Other Challenges:

The Order of the Opus Gluei ~ pick a sketch

Scrappy Moms ~ Halloween

 

Be sure to come back tomorrow for Exploring Cricut's new challenge. Here is the prize...

Stay Creative,

National Dessert Day is Approaching

Good Morning,

I hope you are having a fantastic day. Well, just thinking about today's project puts me in "sweet" mood. Our challenge at Die Cuttin' Diva was to create a dessert in honor of National Dessert Day which is later this week (Oct. 14th). I wanted to actually create a buffet since I love all tyes of sweet treats.

Instead, I created a special treat that only comes around this time of year.

Candy apples always seem to be a favorite.

I used the October 31st cartridge to cut the candy apple at 3 3/4".

The brads are from Eyelet Outlet and Brads.

Challenges:

Easy Craft Projects ~ Autumn or Thank You

One Stop Craft Challenge ~ Anything Goes

Little Red Wagon ~ Thanks

I hope you will join us this week at Die Cuttin' Diva and share your favorite dessert.

Stay Creative,

Beware of "The Owl"

Thanks for stopping by today. My daughter and I went to the store this morning searching for some good deals, but didn't find too many. We are going to try another part of town this evening (since the boys are camping). I did get some textured card stock at Joanns for $1.88 a pack and a new sanding block. I had to give it a try and check out what I made.

I embossed this black core paper I have had and then used my new sanding block to create this spooky effect. Looking forward to using it for some other projects.

Materials:

K&Company ~ KP Halloween Pad

Recollections Colored Core Paper Pad

Hoot 'n Holler cartridge ~ owl cut at 4"

October 31st cartridge ~ BEWARE, moon, and bats cut at 1/2"

graveyard embossing folder (see below)

October 31st Pumpkin

Happy Saturday Everyone,

Today has been a productive day and I now am in the mood to make some cards. Here is my first one. I used the Tuesday Morning Sketch (see below) and some paper I received from Mistyrose at Sweet Magnolia Rose.  

The scalloped rectangle was cut from the Spring Holiday Cards cartridge and the pumpkin was cut from October 31st at 3".

Here are the images on the cartridge...yes, they are spooky and creepy. Perfect for Halloween!

Hope you have a great night.

Stay Creative,

Georgiana

R.I.P.

This is the first time I used the Graveyard embossing folder. It is pretty spooky looking and speaks for itself, so I did not add a lot of extra cuts. I used the tombstone on p. 71 from Mini Monsters and the bats were cut from October 31st. The striped background paper is from the K&Company Halloween pack and the ribbon is from Michaels. All of it was on sale and/or purchased with a coupon since I am the frugal crafter.  : ) 

I saw I had a few new followers...Welcome! Hope you enjoy and come back often. I have two other cards in the works and a couple Halloween projects coming soon. I appreciate comments, suggestions, e-mails, etc. I would love to start some challenges and present some guest designers too. If you are interested just let me know! I am eager to start right away.

Wishing you lots of creative time,

Georgiana : )

Only in Autumn Will You Find the Pumpkin Patch

Week 15 - Autumn

For Week 15 the theme is 'Autumn' so get out your leaf punches, papers, tree stamps anything that reminds you of 'Autumn' and make a ATC, scrapbook page, card, tag, mini album any thing that you fancy making as Anything Goes.

I created this Pumpkin Patch card after seeing an apple made in layers. I used the Mini Monsters cartridge and cut 5 different pumpkin sizes (3", 3 1/4", 3 1/2", 3 3/4", and 4") and cut the layers 1 and layers 2 at the same sizes for the stem and leaves. The dark orange pumpkins were embossed with a circles folder. I used foam dots to add a three dimensional effect. I cut a strip of green cardstock and wrapped it around my pencil to make it swirl. The green checkered background paper is actually a piece of a bag. I have seen interesting check-out bags at Cracker Barrel too that would make a great background for a card or layout. (I am the frugal crafter! I had to try to see what it would look like.)

The Pumpkin Patch sign was cut from the October 31st cartridge at 1 1/2" in both craft brown and Hunter green. The inside has a place for a note on light orange cardstock and a checkered strip across the top to tie the color theme together.

Yesterday my daughter and I went to Target and I was able to pick up a few good deals.

Regular price would have been about $26, but I was able to get it for less than $6. Tomorrow I am going to visit Tuesday Morning as previously mentioned on Pink Cricut. I hope they have some good deals. I would like to be able to find a pink breast cancer Xyron machine.  I want to thank Jean at http://jeanscraftycorner.blogspot.com/  for displaying how to use this machine.
