Hello Y'all!

How are you doing?  I am having a HARD time understanding how November is right around the corner!!!  My year is flying by, but it's going to pick up even more speed.  So I might as well start thinking of Christmas. ;)

After spending quite a bit of time at the craft store pondering what to do, I settled on this little wooden box:



The clock and the leaves were fussy cut from pattern paper.

Can you believe that I used only 2 pieces of 12*12 paper for the whole project?!  :D  Yep, that was all.

Midnight Madness

Howdy Friends!!! 

How are you doing?  I feel like I've been gone for ages.  
 
Well, I've been trying to craft more often after work, but my brain is sooooo tired that I haven't had much success.  So forgive my long pauses in between posts. 

Today I am here to share my latest project for Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges.  The theme is "Anything Goes," and you can create a card, layout, canvas, mini album, etc.


My last project was a Halloween clipboard, so I figured I'd make a card to go with it.  Unfortunately, I didn't have the same pattern paper, so I used a similar theme.  Lets  begin.  :D

This spider looks a bit intimidating to me. I used glossy accents on the spider's body, which looks a bit creepy.   And I traced the web with a silver gel pen.
 

The owl is a Tim Holtz sticker and the clock was fussy cut from a Graphic 45 pattern paper.  (Light was a bit too intense when I took this pic.)

I added the sentiment inside the card.
(Supplies: cardstock; pattern paper- Heidi Grace Designs; ribbon; owl sticker- Tim Holtz; stamps- Inkadinkado; glossy accents; silver gel pen; clock image- Graphic 45)

Ok, friends, go have some crafty fun and link up your project(s) at Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges.  Enjoy the rest of your week and thank you so much for your visit. :D

Happy Crafting,
Angie

Baffling Bats

Hello Everyone!!!

How is Fall (or if you're in the southern hemisphere- Spring) treating you?  I am so looking forward to Fall- cooler weather, crisp leaves, pumpkin pie....  Yep, Fall is my favorite season.

And speaking of Fall, I am stopping by to share my DT project for Scrapping 4 Fun Challenges, which happens to be a Spring/Fall challenge.  In other words, you can create a Spring or Fall project.

So what creative, sweet, kid-loving event falls in autumn?....
You guessed it-  Halloween.  Now, I must confess something.  I am not a huge Halloween fan (sorry Six).  However, I do enjoy seeing the creative costumes, eating candy, and celebrating my Mom's birthday. :)

So on that note, I created a simple and quick Halloween project for a Halloween-loving friend.  Let's begin. :D

I used a silver glitter pen and traced the spider webs, but it's hard to tell in the photos.  Don't these 2 look mischievous?

I used Mod-Podge to adhere the pattern paper onto the clipboard.

(Supplies: pattern paper- Graphic 45; clipboard; Mod-Podge; foam brush; ribbon)

We'll, that's all for today, friends.  I would love to see what you create for this Spring/Fall challenge, so join us here.  

Happy Crafting,
Angie
