Smiling pumpkins

We're having a Halloween or Fall theme over at the La-La Land Crafts blog this week so I thought I'd go all out and create a Halloween card as it's just around the corner.  As I've mentioned before, we don't celebrate it but I had so much fun making this card...

These are the LLLC dies that I used:

Pumpkins

Spiderweb and Spider set

Spiderweb Border

Stitched Nested Circles

The papers are by My Minds Eye and Bazzill kraft cardstock for the base.  Okay, go check out more gorgeous DT inspiration over at the blog here.  

Best witches! And a new Whimsie Doodle challenge!

It's time a for new monthly challenge over at Whimsie Doodles and this month the theme is GETTING KINDA SPOOKY!  Even though I don't celebrate Halloween, I totally love making cards for it!  Here is my Doodlelicious Diva make using the super gorgeous Lizzie Standing Witch...

She's so beautiful and I love her little outfit with her stripy socks!  I also used La-La Land Crafts bats and fence dies and the star embossing is Craft Concepts.  The orange striped paper is a bit of scrap so can't remember who that's by - sorry!

Check out the rest of the Doodlelicious Diva spooky inspiration and get all the deets on how to win prizes over at the blog here!  I'll be back on Friday with my La-La Land Crafts DT post - see you then!

A spooky scene

I've got a card today to share that I had so much fun in creating!  It uses one of the new Whimsie Doodles Background Borders - Places and the witch from the very cute Little Boo's set...

Oh I so love these backgrounds!  And the set includes a Christmas, out of space and a farm scenes - I'm going to be busy playing with these - check them all out here.  I used Authentique papers and La-La Land Crafts Spiderweb Border die.

I'm off now to play with the others - you can find me in my craftroom!

Showcasing the La-La Land Crafts September Club Kit

Have you subscribed to the Club La-La Land Crafts Kits yet?  They are so super cute and I'm so lucky to be on the team so that I get to play with them to my hearts content!  We are showcasing the September Club Kit today and here are my two projects using it...

Isn't she adorable?  And I love the accessory stamps and dies in this kit too.  I die cut the branch twice - one in green cardstock and another in orange.  I snipped the orange leaves off and adhered them onto the green branch with foam pads to give it some depth.  The papers are by My Minds Eye and used my cloud folder for the background.

Here is my second card...

So for this card I used from the kit the Boo banner, leaf and fence dies.  I also used the sweet girl, haystack and pumpkin stamps.  The papers are by Authentic and I used a polka dot embossing folder for interest in the background.

I'm back today with another Halloween card and this time I've used one of the characters from the new Whimsie Doodle release which is a set of 5 super cute digi characters.  Here is my Doodlelicious Diva card using the reaper man!

Awww, I just love the cute characters Melyssa creates!  As you can see, I kept the card pretty simple and simply added a die cut spiderweb border by La-La Land Crafts.

You can see more super cuteness using this new set over at the blog here - enjoy!

Boo!

We have had a sketch to inspire us this week over at La-La Land Crafts and the team have come up with some gorgeous interpretations of it.  I decided to make an early Halloween card using the gorgeous LLLC dies...

I had so much fun making this card!  I used a cloud embossing folder with grey cardstock for the background and created a "wood" frame using a wood grain stamp.  For the dies I used LLLC's Spiderweb Border Die, Eerie Bats Die and the Frightful Fence Die.

Check out more sketch inspiration over at the blog here and get all the current news over at the La-La Land Crafts Facebook Page and on Twitter!

I'll be back soon with my Doodlelicious Diva card later - ttfn!

It's day two of  the There She Goes Blog Hop Challenges to show off all of the September new release!  Today we are showcasing a new Whimsie Doodle set called No Tricks Only Treats and it's a brilliant set! 

 

 

Here is my Trendsetter card...

 

Illustrator Melyssa is so brilliant at creating those interesting faces - I love his quizzical look!  I didn't think he needed much - just an embossed background and a touch of red!

There She Goes Bewitched By You Blog Hop Challenge

It's the start of  the There She Goes Blog Hop Challenges to show off all of the September new release!  Today we are showcasing two new sets - one from Torico called Bewitched By You and a sentiment set called Totally Witchin'.

These are super fun sets!  So much fun that I made two projects to show you today...

So my first project is this treat holder for those yummy lollies!  Isn't she cool - not really scarey - her eyes give away her sweetness inside!  And love the sentiment from the Totally Witchin' set - there are some funny phrases in there!

Here is my second, a card...

That Torico is so talented - so brilliant how she's got her sitting on that broomstick and peeking back over her shoulder!  And I love the bum detail too - cheeky!  That ribbon is a lot darker in real life but just couldn't get it right with Picasa (so annoying!).



I think you'll agree that these are great additions to the There She Goes stamp collection!  I'll be back tomorrow with our second day of the new release!
