Trick or Treat

I've been working on some classes, so today I am showing you the cover of a Halloween mini album.  I made this using the fast, simple, and easy Artbooking cartridge!

I've used items from the While Supplies List to complete this album - Spellbound paper, Black Tulle, and Black Glitter Buttons.  So easy and fun using the Artbooking cartridge!

This is a bit of a tease...I can't show you the inside just yet because I am teaching this 5-page album as one of my Artbooking classes.  Watch my right sidebar for when that class goes on sale!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Pin It

Just Beecause

My second post for the day - that's a good day in my book!  

I saw the inspiration photo at Inspired By

and the sketch from Mojo Monday

and I knew exactly what I wanted to do! 

The floor in the Inspired By photo reminded me of bees, so I knew I had to pull out my Pun Fun stamp set.  I had some scraps left from the Spellbound WOTG - I love these black polka dots!!  I think they work wonderfully with cranberry and a touch of honey.

It was triple the challenge fun when I found one little piece of black embroidery floss to create the bow.  That  fits the challenge at Shopping Our Stash (Odds & Ends Waiting to Be Used).  It may be the time when we are needing to create Christmas cards, but I love this little bee!  It's also a pretty simple card that lets the paper and stamp speak for itself.

Speaking of Christmas cards, I haven't designed mine yet.  Yikes!  I'm not usually last minute, but this really crept on my quickly!!  I hope I am not the only one feeling like that!  Thanks for visiting today!

Trick or Treat

With only one week left until Halloween,  I thought I'd better pull out my Halloween goodies and create some more with them.  I was on a little vacation the past few days, and it was really relaxing to get away.  However, by the time we were driving home, I couldn't wait to get my hands on some paper, ink, and stamps!

For this card, I pulled out a few scraps of Moonlight (the stripe and dotted banners) and my Spellbound Workshop on the Go stamp set.  I created the argyle background by stamping with goldrush ink.  I added a little piece of black tulle, a label and a couple cute little bats from Spellbound, and the black cat from the Moonlight Dimensional Elements.  (Big thanks to Jamie for the cat - I have one, but I was hoarding it!!)  I used a pattern from the Make It From Your Heart book.  Such a handy how-to book and such a great price at $7.95!

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:

• Heart 2 Heart - Halloween or Pumpkin
• Color Throwdown - Color Challenge
• Ribbon Carousel - Halloween Spirit 

Cut it Up Gets Spooky!!

It's time for the 4th challenge at Cut It Up!  I am truly inspired by the other designers and all of you that enter in our challenges.  It's just great to see you play with us!   This week we want to see your Halloween creations.  The rules are simple - use a die-cut to give us one great project!

I made a treat box to show you.  This is the paper and one of thestamps from the Spellbound Workshop on the Go.  I used the Cricut Artiste to cut the box, yoyo flower, and the label.  What an easy box!!

Trendy Twine is sponsoring us this week, and one lucky winner is going to receive this great fall bundle.

Happy Halloween...

...in August!  We had such hot weather for so long that I have been finding myself wishing for fall.  Fall weather and fall colors are my absolute favorite!  So  today I have a Halloween card for you using the exclusive stamp set in the Spellbound Workshop on the Go.

The argyle is one of the stamps in the set - isn't it fun?  The spider web and sentiment bases were cut with the  Artiste cartridge.  So. Much. Fun.  I am loving the black tulle, and I could easily find a place for it on everything I create.  (I hope that we see more colors of it in the future!)

The Crazy Challenge is looking for cards with black, white, and one other color.  This fits that requirement!

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you are finding many blessings already this week!

New Artwork!

Have you looked through the new Idea Book?  Are you as excited as I am?!  There's just so much goodness between those pages!  One of the things that I love are the new Workshops on the Go.  There are three home decor kits and two card-making kits.  Today I want to tell you about Spellbound.

This  an AWESOME Halloween workshop that really utilizes the new Cricut Artiste cartridge along with exclusive paper and an exclusive stamp set.  This is a complete party for 8, and it contains the instructions for cupcake wrappers & pins, a banner, drink wrappers, and treat bags.  It takes about 6 hours to complete and is so worth it!

I think it's so much fun to cut and customize bags.  I can't wait till October to cut a jack-o-lantern with the faces from the Artiste cartridge!

Yep. the Cricut Artiste cartridge makes the lovely banners and accordion-folded flowers.

I'll be using these spider web wrapper at a club night in October.  How cute are they?

What do you think?  I love the traditional black, orange, and white colors in this set with the fun design.  Let me know if you have any questions!  I would love to help!
