Lori Whitlock: Black Cat Treat Boxes

Hi Everyone! Today I have some adorable treat boxes, purr-fect for Halloween! I totally embrace my inner Crazy Cat Lady, so these Cat Favor Boxes were right up my alley...take a peek...

I of course had to make them black cats!  The papers are from Doodlebug Design's Gingham Linen Petite Prints, Hat's Off and Ghouls & Goodies Collections.  These boxes go together really quickly!  For an assembly tutorial see my post on Lori Whitlock's Blog here.  

That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by  to peek!

Paper Issues: Witchin' You a Happy Halloween

Hi Everyone, I'm up on the Paper Issues blog today with a layout I created for the "Witchin' You a Happy Halloween" Issue.  My girlie doesn't trick or treat anymore...but I found some really cute pictures of her and her friends carving pumpkins a couple of years ago.  Take a peek:

 

I used Doodlebug Design's Ghouls & goodies collection...I'm such a sucker for Halloween Collections!!  I love the fun embellies!  I also added a couple of flair buttons from Toni From Designs.  They coordinated perfectly!  Here are some more close-ups...

The Twinery: Happy Halloween!

Hi Everyone, I have my last project for The Twinery today as October Guest Designer.  Seeing that it's Halloween, I had to create something festive!  Take a peek:

 

I fell in love with this little bag cut file that I found in the Silhouette Store. (I am a crazy cat lady!)  I mixed it up a bit and created the kitty face using some Doodlebug Sprinkles and some Charcoal Stripe Twine Whiskers!  Here's a close up of the bag....I'm just glad my will power held up long enough to photograph before I ate the Kisses!!!

 

 

Now off to eat the kisses!!!  Have a wonderfully spooky Halloween!

Paper Issues: Anything Goes

Hi Everyone, I have a fun card today that I created for the Paper Issues, Anything Goes Issue.  I know it's a little early for Halloween (unless you're in the grocery store, then you're right on time...) but I couldn't resist playing with my new Lawn Fawn Spooktacular Stamps, and as the name implies...Anything Goes!

 

I used the paper piecing technique on some Doodlebug Design Ghouls & Goodies papers to create my pumpkin, moon, stars & kitty.  In addition to the Spooktacular stamps, I also used Lawn Fawn's stitched Journaling Card, Sweater Weather Dies & Spring Showers dies.

 

 

And no card would be complete without a punny sentiment!  Make sure to link up your projects to the Anything Goes Issue... you could win a prize pack from our sponsor Whisker Graphics!  That's it for today, thanks for stopping by!

Doodlebug Designs: Ghouls & Goodies Mini Album

Hi Everyone, today I have a fun mini I created for Doodlebug Designs using the new Ghouls & Goodies Collection.  I LOVE Halloween... I love seeing all of the neighborhood kiddos in their costumes, and of course, there is the candy...  Unfortunately my daughter has reached the age where she doesn't Trick or Treat anymore!!!  (sniff...) soooo... I dug out 15 years of pictures to create a mini that shows her in her costumes throughout those years!

 

 

The album is made up of pages from Lori Whitlock's Build a Mini Album files.  For my title, I used the new Doodlebug Chippers and some totally adorable Doodlepops!  Each page showcases a different year's costume!

 

I LOVE the Halloween Treats Sprinkles Shapes!!  And the new Mini Paperclips are fun to use!

I decided to add Sprinkles Vellum in between some of my pages.  Mostly I left them plain, but I couldn't resist adding the Spider from the Diecuts Craft Kit to the one below...even better is that he is double sided so it looks like he's peeking through the next page!  Only Doodlebug could make a spider cute!  Also, if you didn't know, the new Halloween Sprinkles are sparkly!!!

 

I think I used just about all of the Doodlepops from this collection...they were too cute to resist!

 

The new Washi tapes are great too...I wanted them to show a bit more on my pages, so I first put them on white cardstock and cut them out so they stand out.

 

I think I used just about everything in the making of this mini!! There was no sticker sheet or embellishment left untouched!  The great thing about this collection is that it works for all sorts of costumes...cute, scary, bright colors or black...it all coordinates well!  Well, that's it for today, be sure to check out the Doodlebug Blog to see all of the Halloween inspiration!
