Paper Issues: October Off the Page Challenge...Halloween!

Hi Everyone!  Today I'm on the Paper Issues Blog with October's Off the Page Challenge.  Of course it had to be something Halloween related!  Take a peek...

 

 

 I made a fun Halloween themed subway art frame and a pumpkin to decorate for the season!  I used this file from the Silhouette Store and some Doodlebug Design October 31st for the Subway Art.  I also embellished the frame with some strips of the new Skinny Washi and buttons, also from Doodlebug.  The Pumpkin was created using a Lori Whitlock cut file in the Silhouette Store (here) and orange Doodlebug papers from a few different collections.  Now for you... make something Halloween-themed... it can be home décor, costume related, goodies for the kiddos at school, pumpkin themed, candy boxes, Halloween Party favors...We'd love to see it all!  Add it to the October Challenges Album on the Paper Issues Friends & Fans Facebook page under this picture to be entered to win!  Need some Halloween goodies to work with??  Check out the Paper Issues Store here... there are tons of fun items!  Use Code KATHYS and you can get 20% off your whole order!

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

 

Doodlebug Design: 2 Cute 2 Be Spooky!

Hi Everyone! Today I have a layout using the ADORABLE October 31st Collection from Doodlebug Design.  My daughter is older, and I can't always get costumed pictures these days...so I went back a few years and found this gem... take a peek...

 

This was the first year my daughter went with a more "scary" costume... of course she was way too cute to be spooky....  I fell in love with all the patterned papers in the October 31st collection, and couldn't decide which ones I wanted to use so I went with a grid pattern and used them all!! 

 

I used the stickers from the Icon Sticker Sheet to decorated some of my squares... I love Doodlebug Critters!!!

 

 

And only Doodlebug can make a spider cute!

 

I love mixing and matching alphas so I used some Doodlebug Chippers and some Skinny Cardstock Stickers for my title.  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!!

The Rubber Cafe: September Guest Designer III

Hi Everyone, I'm back with my last post for my September Guest Design Team spot at The Rubber Café!  I fell in love with the saying, " If the broom fits, ride it." in the Spooky Feet Stamp set and decided to create a card around it!  Take a peek...

 

The card was made using some October 31st collection from Doodlebug Design.  The broom stamps are also from the Spooky Feet stamp set available in the September Creative Café kit, Monster Bash.  All of the brooms were colored using my new Zig Clean Color Brush Markers... I love them!!  Well that's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!!!

The Rubber Cafe: September Guest Designer III

Hi Everyone!  I was up on the Rubber Café Blog again yesterday with another fun Halloween Treat using the September Creative Café Kit:  Monster Bash!  Take a peek...

Monster Bash has been so fun to work with, I love all the fun Halloween colors!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by!

As soon as I saw the cute laboratory stamp in the Monster Lab Set, I thought it would be the perfect addition to a test tube favor!  And of course, the Doodlebug Design October 31st papers are a great fit!  Here are some close-ups...
