Altered Witch Hat

I was up on the My Mind's Eye blog yesterday with some Halloween Decor.  I purchased a paper mache witches hat on clearance last Halloween and couldn't wait to alter it.

I used the Frightful collection along with some CTMH Tulle and I love how it turned out!

I cut this spider out with my Silhouette and then embellished it with a brad.

It's Called Tomorrow

I am slowly getting my groove back on.  My daughter and her baby are back at their own place after being here for weeks as my daughter healed from the birth.  I have been one tired momma/grandma but have loved it.  Tonight, I loved playing in my craft room for fun!

I used the Nine & Co collection by Teresa Collins.  Lots of layers, stitching and a Silhouette cut - just the way I like them ;)  I was actually inspired by the Color Throwdown challenge but am too late to enter, phooey :)

A Trio of Halloween Cards

Halloween cards without using Halloween themed paper?!  Check out the Fancy Pants Blog - I created 3 Halloween themed cards today.

I love this one, a Silhouette cut paired with some Unity Stamps.

Happy Fall

I love rainy weekends... gives me a good excuse to stay inside and craft ;)

I used the Scrumptious Collection by Chickaniddy Crafts to create this fun fall themed card.  I love fall, can you tell :)

I really love the denim paper in the collection and I used a scrap piece of it to create a 'belt loop'.

I am playing along with Unscripted Sketches

More Fall themed cards.

I played with the True Friend collection by Fancy Pants to create another set of fall themed cards.

Of course I had to add some kraft... just says fall to me.

This one was super easy to do.  I just used one of the tags, some stickers and paper scraps.  It went together quickly.

I love cutting my titles with my Silhouette and this one is a Kerri Bradford one.

Finally, my favorite card of the bunch.  I have used one of the file folders from the collection along with some stickers and Silhouette cuts.  I always love the texture that messy stitching adds.

Non traditional fall themed cards

I am up on the My Mind's Eye Blog today with some Fall cards.  I decided on the Jubilee Sherbet and Necessities Wood to create this card set.  I like the shabbiness the woodgrain gives it.

First up a layered up card, with a bit of this and a bit of that... topped off with a couple of Silhouette cut files.  The die is from My Favorite Things.

Next up, a fun coffee themed card and of course I thought of Amy ;)  I used some stamps from Precious Remembrance, although I am not a coffee drinker, I still like making coffee themed cards!

Finally I love how this simple one turned out.  I used some of the post its from the collection along with some cut files and SRM Calendar labels, it all worked well together.

I have had very little crafty time lately so my projects have had to be quick and easy ones.  I used the October Layers of Life (love never leaves) along with the de France Labels for some quick and easy fall themed napkins.  I stamped the images with some acrylic paint on some pre laundered napkins.  I love how they turned out!  Goes well with the little dish I got while in France last spring!

Pick your poison

I was up on the Unity Blog today with this Halloween Themed card.  I used some Pebbles paper and Divine Twine.  For more information please hop on over to Unity!

A couple of cards using Notes & Things

It it Thanksgiving Weekend here in Canada and I am sure enjoying the fact that it is a rainy day and I am forced to stay inside ;)  I went and played in my craft room.  Working around the baby's schedule I don't have a lot of time so I created cards today.  Hopefully will get to a layout again soon.

I used the Notes  & Things from Crate Paper to create a couple of cards.  The colors and patterns in this collection are so pretty.

For this card I was inspired by the sketch at Sunday Stamps:

I then decided to create a 3 1/2 X 5 1/2 card as I have a lot of strips of paper left over from making regular A2 sized cards from a 12 X 12 piece of cardstock.

Homemade Smile

My last card for WCMD.  I played more today than I have in a month!  For this card I used the Homemade collection by Pebbles.  The flowers were fussy cut from some of the pattern paper.

The stamp is from Precious Remembrance.

I was inspired by the Fusion Card Challenge

A couple of Winter Themed Cards

I managed to play in my craft room again today!  I forgot what it was like having a baby around ;)

I used the Noel collection by Elle's Studio to create a couple of cards along with some Divine Twine and dots by Pebbles.

First up this card, I saved a negative scrap that I had punched out a snowflake from and I used it to create a tag.

I was inspired by this sketch from Retro Sketches:

Next up this card I created, I love layering bits and pieces.

I was inspired by this sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:
