Happy Halloween!

Hey there friends!

Today I am sharing a Halloween card I created for 88 and Clear using the Spooky Night DigiNext collection. I used Sweet Lavender Sugar Stock as my card base and then added a few layers of patterned papers from the Spooky Nights collection. I added a torn strip of Rich Honey Sugar Stock with some machine stitching:

I fussy cut the grim reaper, pumpkin and bat from the Spooky Nights collection. Finally I added a few MAMBI Soft Spoken stickers:

This was such a fun collection to work with and I love the colors!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Fall Memories

 Hi everyone!

It's my day up on the Bramble Fox blog today! I created another layout using the October moodboard challenge I posted on the first. I also used the October 15th case file at CSI as inspiration for this fall page:

I used the Fox Cut Stencil #30 and added Spiced Marmalade Distressed Oxide Ink through it. Then outlined parts with a fine tip brown marker. I added in a few of the Cool Stars:

I added the "Let's Go" Travel Clippie above the photo on the left. I added some transparent leaves from Hip Kit Club: 

I added a border and backed the photos with papers from Simple Stories. I fussy cut the trees from a Simple Stories paper as well:

I fussy cut my title and flowers from Simple Stories papers. I also added a few Cool Stars here: 

Here's a look at the case file at CSI:

and here's the mood board I created for the October Bramble Fox challenge:

I hope you will play along at 1 or both of these places!

Take Me Away

 Hey there scrappy friends!

Today I am sharing a layout of Sierra and her boyfriend at a winery in Canada near Niagara Falls. I created this layout for Sketches In Thyme using sketch #538 by the talented Laura Rumble. I also used Echo Park Summer Fun collection for this travel page:

I added water color to my white cardstock background. I backed four of the Hexagons from Creative Embellishments with patterned papers. I colored the hexagons with a black Sharpie. I added some fussy cut leaves:

I took three of the larger Hexagons and placed them on a 5x7 photo and then fussy cut around them. I used a black Sharpie to color them. I added a sticker here:

I used a hexagon punch to cut 2 of the yellow ones and then hand stitched around them with embroidery floss. I added a few fussy cut leaves, a word phrase sticker and a gold heart:

I fussy cut the flamingo and a few more leaves and flowers:

I flipped the sketch upside down to accomadate my photos:

Country Fest Mini Album

Hey there scrappy friends! 

Today I am sharing a mini album with you that I created using lots of Creative Embellishments chipboard pieces. 

I have always wanted to go to Country Fest, which is about 2 hours away from us. I finally got to cross that off my bucket list in June! Greg and I went with friends, camped all week and had a blast! 

I decided to make a mini album with some of the pictures I took. I used the Stage Mini Album to start this fun project. I used Lindy's mists and Nuvo Glitter Markers to color the chipboard. On the cover, I backed the top and bottom of the stage with black cardstock and added some mist spatters. I also added: Country Fest, Musical Instrument Flair and I cut the 2022 off of the 2022 ATC Coins:

   

 I backed the album and frame chipboard pieces with black textured cardstock. Page 1:  Camping Word Set (bonfire) and Camping Set (camp fire) Page 2: Infinite Circle Frame, Camping Word Set (camping), Camping Set (camper)

Raspberries

Hello!

 I am back to share a gardening layout with you that I created for Creative Embellishments.

One of my favorite things we grow in our garden are raspberries. I love to eat them fresh and we also freeze a bunch to enjoy in the winter. I used lots of chipboard from the CE store along with some JilliBean Soup from my stash:

Apple Orchard

 Hey there Scrappy Friends!

Have you seen the case files for October at CSI? They are fabulous!

Here is my take on case file #396. I used lots of stash for this fun, fall day at the apple orchard in Gays Mills with friends:

I challenged myself to use all the evidence for this case file and actually did it! The red and green papers are from My Minds Eye. The ivory banner is from Simple Stories:

I added some chipboard apples and the word "harvest" from Creative Embellishments. I fussy cut the word "October" from a Simple Stories paper:

I added a wood veneer leaf from Lawn Fawn that I colored with inks. I added a burlap flower from Little Birdie, some fussy cut leaves from Simple Stories and some red rick rack from my stash:

Here I added the Bucket of Apples from Creative Embellishments. I used ink to color it. I added another wood veneer leaf from Lawn Fawn, a burlap flower from Little Birdie and a wood veneer flower from my stash. I fussy cut the whisk from an October Afternoon paper. I added a strip of corrugated paper from Fancy Pants and pie and word sticker from Simple Stories. I finished off my page with some red and tree sequins from Buttons Galore & More:

Here is a quick look at the case file:

I really enjoyed putting this layout together and I love that I used stash to do it!
