Hello world!

Hello all! I'm back :)
I've been busy with home remodeling projects and co-chairing the fall book fair at my son's school. A lot of fun but a lot of work.

The Collectors Cut blog has started back up and our first challenge back was to create a shaped card.

Our most recent challenge was to create a Halloween decor project.

Thank you for stopping by!

my spooky son ... Halloween 2010

I created this page for The Collectors Cut Challenge #9. I drew the Doodlecharms, Indie Art and Mini Monsters cartridges this week and I automatically thought of Halloween with this combination.



I used Mini Monsters to cut the fence from black cardstock and then sprayed it with Cinder Glimmer Mist. I cut the skulls from Indie Art out of cream cardstock and used Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint & Sahara Sand VersaMagic chalk ink to give them a little texture.



I cut the spiders from Doodlecharms on black cardstock and covered them in Creative Imaginations Lucky Black glitter glue. I decided to have them "climb down" from strands of embroidery floss to look a bit realistic.



I used pop dots on the spiders and skulls for a bit of dimension. I used papers from Basic Grey's Eerie collection and Little Yellow Bicycle's Frightful collection.

Check out The Collectors Cut tonight to see what else has been created.

Thank you for visiting!

Halloween 2009

papers: Basic Grey Granola (solid) and Basic Grey Eerie (patterned)
embellishments: Jolee's bling and K & Co Life's Little Occasions
tools: Martha Stewarts "Cracked" corner and border punches

"monster mash" 2009

I used Pink Paislee's Vintage Moon patterned papers throughout this page. I used my Cricut, Gypsy and Blackletter cartridge to cut out the title and then added Creative Imaginations glitter glue for a little 'pop'.

Halloween class party 2009

I finally got caught up through Christmas Eve of 2009. I have sooooo many pages to catch up on but I'll get to them a page at a time. :D

I used Cloud 9 Designs patterned paper, a Jolee's embellishment and a Recollections border strip for this page.

Halloween goody boxes

Wow! It's been quite awhile since I last posted. I've been busy finishing up Tracy's goodies for the GIBBS Round 5 swap on the Cricut Messageboard. I am happy to say I shipped that off today and I will be sharing a couple more sneak peaks followed by full pictures once she's received her box.

Anyway ....... I wanted to share the goody boxes I made for my son's classmates for their Halloween party last week.







The boxes were bought on clearance at Michaels a couple of years ago from the Brides section. I cut the bat "ring" out using my Cricut & Pumpkin Carvings cartridge and sprayed with Slate and Cinder Glimmer Mists. The "treats" tag is a stamp from Pink Paislee's Twilight line that I hand cut and sprayed with Key Lime Pie Glimmer Mist. I attached the tags using ribbon by Offray.

"Happy Halloween"

This is a mini album that I created for a silent auction that my sister-in-law is having the beginning of October. The proceeds will go to American Cancer Society. She is having the silent auction at a Highland Games event that my brother-in-law is heading up and competing in called "Throwing for the Cure".






base of mini: paper bags
cardstocks: miscellaneous
patterned papers & clear stickers: Reminisce
glitter glue: Creative Cafe, Studio G
ribbons: Michaels brand, Joann's brand, Sheer Narrows
spider accent: Sakura Stardust pen

I'm going to attempt to create a Fall/Autumn mini album for the silent auction as well. It will all depend on if I have the time to finish it or not. Wish me luck! :)
