Tricks and Treats!

Hi Everyone, I have a fun project today that I created for Right at Home Scrapbooking using Silhouette's new Glass Etching Kit.  We saw this kit at CHA and I couldn't wait to play!  Take a peek:

 

I love these bottles...we get them all of the time at the store's crops usually filled with something fun! I decided to etch a little ghost on one that I took home, and fill it with some treats.  Here's a look at the bottle before I filled it...they're a bit hard to photograph, but they're way cute up in person!

 

 

To complete the project, I created a little tag using my Silhouette and some adorable Bella Blvd Trick or Treat Papers and some Solid Twinery Twines!

The project was much easier than I expected!  The Glass Etching kit comes with a short DVD tutorial that's very helpful!  That's it for today, thanks for stopping by!

The Greatest View

Hi Everyone...
There's a fun challenge going on over at Jot Magazine...The Greatest View... they want folks to link up layouts with their "Greatest View"...which can be anything from scrapping a photo of a wonderful view somewhere,  a layout celebrating an event and your view of it, or even an everyday moment that is a great view.  I had the absolute perfect layout for this!!!  Check it out:

 

This is one of my all time favorite photos...it's a quick cell phone shot of the sunset in Key West.  We were on the roof of the La Concha hotel on Duval Street.  It's the tallest building in Old Key West and offers the most breathtaking views of the sunset!  Even better, there's a fun bar right there!  Everyone rides up to the roof, grabs a drink and finds a good spot to watch the sun go down!

 

 

I used Bella Blvd.'s Sand and Surf collection...perfect for my pic.  I tried to create a little "scene" using the palm tree and waves chipboard pieces.

I kept it simple to focus on the picture...just a few splats of Mr. Huey's to add some pizzazz.  That's it for today...thanks for stopping by!

BOO!

Hi Everyone...I have fun wall hanging project today that I created for the Halloween Hootenanny Issue over at Paper Issues.  Take a peek:

The 3-D Letters are made completely from paper.  I created them using the 3-D Letters Kit from SVGCuts.com.  The bow is a file from the Silhouette store.

I decorated the letters using my favorite Halloween collection this year...Doodlebug's Halloween Parade. 

The letters are all connected using Solid Lilac Twine from The Twinery.

Only Doodlebug can make a spider look cute!

 And my favorite was the Kitty Doodlepop!  Check out all the Halloween goodies at the Paper Issues Store...and use my code, KATHYS for a 20% discount!

Be sure to link up your Halloween projects here by October 27th and you could win a complete set of all the new Heidi Swapp ColorShine sprays!  Thanks for stopping by!

Another Twinery Challenge - In the Round

Hi Everyone..I'm here today with my take on The Twinery's latest Challenge "In the Round."  The challenge is to use baker's twine and circles of some sort to create a fun project to win a great prize! 

 

Here's the layout I created.  It's based on Creative Scrappers Sketch 251 and features my "Soft Kitty" Rosie. I used the new My Mind's Eye Cut and Paste Adorbs Collection.

 

 

I incorporated a number of circles into my layout, including these stitched spirals using Solid Honeydew, Solid Denim and Solid Strawberry Twine. .  I also used a number of "circle" embellishments like the Adorbs enamel dots and buttons and the adorable polka dot washi. 

 

 

The wood heart veneers are from Studio Calico and the adorable Heart Clip is from Allison Kreft Recorded Collection. 

 

There are still a couple of days left in the challenge!!  We'd love for you to play along and we cannot wait to see what you create!  Just use twine and a "circle" pattern of some sort and you can enter to win our fabulous prize...

 

 

All the details and the link-up can be found here!  Thanks for stopping by today!

Pumpkins!

Just a quick post to show you the project I'll be teaching at Right at Home Scrapbooking this week.  It's a fun Pin-spired fall centerpiece using some wooden blocks, paper and paint!

 

I used some of the awesome orange patterned papers from Pebbles Thirty-One Collection.  They were perfect for pumpkins!  The leaves were cut using a Silhouette file and some paper from LYB.  They even smell wonderful as they are made from cedar! (beautifully cut by Lisa from Right at Home...that girl can rock a table saw!)  That's it for today...I'll be back tomorrow with a project for The Twinery's In The Round Challenge!

A Project Life-like Layout

I have another Bella Blvd. Layout today...featuring some fun pictures taken at the Taylor Swift concert this past summer.  Every year she comes to Gillette Stadium, and every year we go!  This year was her "RED" Tour... the girls dressed accordingly.

 

I'm not a Project Lifer...but I really like a lot of the elements used in PL.  I thought it would be fun to incorporate the 3x4 card concept into a layout.  I used the Bella Blvd. All American Collection mostly for this project, along with a few things from their Sophisticates line.

 

 

The little word stickers included with all the Bella Blvd. collections are perfect for Project Life! 

 

 

I love the little crochet hearts and the Bella Washi !! That's it for today...I'll be back with a couple of projects this week for The Twinery and Paper Issues!  Thanks for stopping by!

Made for Each Other

Well, I had planned on having this ready Thursday for our ACTUAL Anniversary...but you know how it goes.... My husband and I just celebrated our 21st Anniversary...which means I now have to stop saying I'm 29 because that means I got married at 8 years old....a bit unbelievable...anyway... I snapped this picture one morning last week...thought it was funny, and decided to scrap it!  The back of the "Real Men" mug is funny too...it says "Some men are born to cats, others have cats thrust upon them."

 

I love the new Day to Day collection from Doodlebug Designs.  It is just too cute!  I'm especially in love with the adorable little coffee cup DoodlePops and the little "Potty People"!!!

 

 

There's a little of everything on this layout...some spritzing, some stitching, some stamping.  It was nice to do a layout just for fun!

 

That's it for today...I hope to have another layout up this week!  Thanks for stopping by.
