Guest Designer Day for Crafty Card Gallery

Good day all....

Today I am guest designer over at Crafty Card Gallery. Our challenge this month was Fall Colors and I decided to piece together a card with some of my favorite stamps and tools. Here is the card I made:

Stamps for Ghost, Pumpkins and Sentiment are from Get Inky! Stamps 2013 Spooktacular Halloween Set. The clouds are from Get Inky! Stamps Whimsical Moon and Stars. The fence is cut with my Creative Memories Border Maker System and the Spooky fence cartrtidge (RETIRED). The buttons are Stampin' Up and the tree was cut with my Cameo Silhouette. I decided to make the ghost peek out from the pumpkins to say BOO! Thanks to Crafty Card Gallery for having me today. Until next time....

JME Creations The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop

Welcome to The Great Pumpkin Blog Hop brought to you today by JME Creations Design Team.  If you just came from Shannon's blog then you are in the right place.  If you just happened to come across my blog and you want to hop along, please start at the beginning at jmecreations.blogspot.com.

I used my Gypsy to help me design the center of this card. I used Stampin' Up paper, ribbon from my stash, and Crayola markers to ink the edges. The cuts were made from Elegant Edges, Mini Monsters and George and Basic Shapes from Provocraft. I hand drew in his face. Here is my project :)

I love to read everyone's comments and to make new paper crafting friends, so.... I am offering this card as blog candy. All you need to do is be a follower and leave a comment. How much easier can it be?

Guest Designer Day: Brenda of Creativity is Only a State of Mind

Greetings all :) Today brings another installment of our Guest Designer Day over here at Susana's Scrappin' Corner. I am so lucky to have Miss Brenda here to help me out today. I recently participate in her Birthday Wishes Blog Hop and we had a blast! This is another very talented woman and you definitely want to check out her BLOG. Without any delay I want to share her project...

*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_

Good morning,

I am so excited about today's post.  I am a guest designer over at Susan's and just love that she wanted me to post for you today.  I wanted to show you an oldie but goodie.  I saw these last year after the Fall season was nearly over and wanted to remind myself to make them...well, if you are anything like me, you forget about it.  At least I did until I was reminded by Ruthie over at September Ninth.  She has the best tutorial and video for you also, so please go check it out after you've seen what I made.  This entire project took less than 20 minutes to complete, easy peasy.

For this project you will need:  roll of toilet paper, batting (I didn't have any, so I just used an old tshirt that I cut up), orange colored fabric, raffia, scraps of cardstock, leaves, and a hot glue gun

I picked this fabric (2 yards of it) up at a thrift store for pennies.

There was enough fabric to make 8 of these.

Dollar Store for the toilet paper.

I had the leaves and raffia on hand.

I wrapped the toilet paper roll with my discarded tshirt (good way to recycle) 

cut at 14 x 14 inches and stuffed it into the center of the tp roll hole. 

Then I wrapped that with the fabric, cut approx at 14 x 14 inches

and also stuffed that into the tp roll hole.

Then I wrapped a piece of rolled cardstock with some raffia,

 stuffed it into the center of the tp roll.

Hot glued a leaf to the stem and voila...a pumpkin

and this is how they turned out, isn't this a great grouping?

Now I wonder how long before the cat is gonna start playing with them?

Now if you need to know how to make these, head on over to September Ninth and check out here tutorial.  I know you are gonna love it.  Thank you also for stopping over for my guest design spot.  Thank you to Susan for having me also.

Miss Brenda, I thank you so much and I am going to have to try this. We have not had a chance to get a pumpkin and this may be my only alternative . Please hop over to Brenda's blog and show her some bloggie love. Until next time...

JME Creations Design Team Owl Challenge

Knock, Knock
Who's there?
Owl.
Owl who?
The owl who is wearing a purple hat


Okay, I have to admit it was cheesy. I was remarking yesterday to my family that (for someone who has always disliked Halloween) I make the cutest Halloween cards. When given this challenge I was originally going to make  a plain old owl. Then I thought, "Why not make an owl with a Halloween eye mask?" Well, that thought flopped because I did not have a Cricut cartridge with an eye mask. So then I thought, "Since Halloween in coming, why not make him a Wizard (this is after looking at Harry Potter-like digi stamps). So Harry the owl was born! 

The owl is from Create a Critter of course (we know that is my absolutely favorite cartridge). The background paper I had in my stash and I cut the little bats at 3/4" from the Hello Kitty Greetings cart (I hid their faces). I believe the hat is from Mini Monsters as is the Spooky tree. I used my gold gel pen to embellish his hat and silver to outline the tree and give the bats smiles. I have to do cutesy things to like a Halloween card. The pumpkin is from a Jolee's Boutique Dimensional pack (Funny Pumpkins) and I just tore the green paper to make hills and used Ranger Ink's Silver stickles for ooomph! This was a really fun challenge for me and I hope that you can join in too :) Hop on over to JME Creation's blog to see what everyone else made. Until next time....

Jen's Digi Stamps Freebie Friday: Birds

Welcome all to another project for Jen's Digi Stamps. It is Freebie Friday and I had a ball with project. As soon as I saw this little birdie, I knew what color he was going to be. I decided to learn a new card type for this project. This is a side step card and I found the tutorial at Splitcoast Stampers. To welcome Fall, I made this card:

I used some felt pumpkins, leaves and Fall sentiment from my friend Erin and used blue glass glitter from Stampin' Up. The grass was cut from Plantin Schoolbook at 1 1/4" and 1 1/2". Notice the two pumpkins in the back? They are scared they are going to get picked. I hope you enjoyed my project and that you will go and see what the other team members made as well right HERE. Until next time.....

JME Creations Design Team Project: Welcome Fall (Sept. 19th, 2011)

Welcome all to my new design team project for JME Creations. The challenge for today was to create a project to "Welcome Fall". There is nothing that says "Fall" to me other than a hayride and finding the perfect pumpkin. So in preparation of our pumpkin picking trip, I prepared this layout:

I used Provocraft's Simply Charmed cartridge for the pumpkins and title, the orange background cut is from Elegant Edges using the shadow feature. I made the photo mats with scraps from my stash. I very rarely make layouts without the photos already printed so this was new for me. Please hop on over to JME Creations and see what my fellow talented designers came up with. Until next time.....
