Too Cute, Not Spooky

 Hi paper crafters!

I have a fun Halloween layout to share with you today that I created for CSI using lots of my stash. I added watercolor to my white textured background. Once that was dry, I stamped with the Distressed Grid and Distressed Plaid Set 2 stamps from Creative Embellishments along with black ink. I tore some patterned papers, placed those on the right side of my page and added some machine stitching:

I added some strips of patterned papers behind my photos: teal and orange- Fancy Pants, striped and dotted- Echo Park, . I matted my photos on pink from Shimelle. For my title, I used: orange-Thickers, black- Echo Park, teal- Cosmo Cricket, Spooky is a MAMBI Sticker. The teal heart is a sticker from Fancy Pants:

I added a few star circle stickers and the black cat saying from Echo Park. The bats are stickers from Paper House. Boo-Yah is a MAMBI sticker. I used a spider stamp from Northwood Stamps:

I added some sequins from DCWV and brads from Queen & Co:

I fussy cut the hose from an old Rusty Pickle paper- remember them? They were popular when I first started scrapping. I added a few more stamps: Trick or Treat and Happy Halloween- both are from Savy Stamps. The fright night is a sticker from MAMBI and the 31 is from Echo Park:

I fussy cut the scalloped circle with the kitty from an Echo park paper. Trick or treat is another MAMBI sticker. Kitty is Authentique mini alphas and cat are from Making Memories:

Here's a quick look at the case file:

It feels so good to use my stash! 

Plus I love how this page came out!

I hope you will play along with us this month!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

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!

Happy Harvest

 Hey there creative friends!

Today I am  sharing a layout I created for 88 and Clear using the Apple Harvest DigiNext Collection:

I smooshed some of the Sweet Blue Sugar Cube on a piece of plastic and added some water. Then I applied it to my white cardstock background:

I fussy cut the flowers from the Apple Harvest DigiNext collection and glued those to my background. I added in some Mambi Chips and Tim Holtz word phrases. I fussy cut the words "Happy Harvest" from the DigiNext collection:

I backed my photo with Sour Lime and Sweet Blue Sugar Stocks:

I tucked in my journaling aroung the fussy cut flowers:

I did lots of fussy cutting on this page- fussy cutting is so relaxing to me!

I love how this page came out!

The Love of Football

Hey there friends!
 Are you a football fan? Do your kids play football? Then you need this chipboard piece! LOL!
 I am sharing a football layout with you today that I created for Creative Embellishments.
 Austin played football a few years in high school, so these chipboard pieces were perfect for this layout:



 I used The Love of Football chipboard piece for my title and used Lindy's mists to color them. I added a few MAMBI stickers from my stash and machine stitched through a few of them. I popped the "Go Team" one up with craft foam to add some dimension:

 
I have been dying to try one of the new shaker sets in the store and this Star Shaker Set was perfect for a sports page. I added a variety of sequins and confetti to it. I used ScraPerfect's Best Glue Ever with the No Clog Writing Cap attached to put it together. I added the football helmet, colored with Lindy's, from the Football Set on top of the shaker:

 
I used Distressed Grid Stencil to add some modeling paste to my background and then added watercolors:

 

This was such a fun and messy layout to create!
 Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Sketches In Thyme

Hello!
Today I am sharing a layout I have up over at Sketches In Thyme today.
I combined American Crafts, Paper House and a cut file from Just Nick for this layout of Sierra and a few friends at their senior prom:

I added a border using a punch. I added some circles, fussy cut label and an Evalicious wood veneer that I colored with silver mist:

The title is a combination of October Afternoon mini alphas and Thickers. I also added some Tim Holtz word sticker phrases here:

I added a few pieces of MAMBI chipboard stickers along with an Evalicious puffy banner sticker:

I fussy cut the camera from one of the AC papers. I added in a black Doodlebug doily. I also added another piece of MAMBI chipboard and a Simple Stories clear sticker:

I would like to give credit to one of the girls mom for the beautiful photo she shared with me.

Here is the fun sketch:
