Just One More Halloween LO

this was in response to a scraptastic club challenge--we had a recipe.  One of the items was a spooky picture, so I treated Kiernan to an art lesson.  Below are two Halloween cards made from scraps.  I am trying to get better at card-making.





Happy Halloween Everyone!

More Halloween Fun!

I learned that this page has also been featured on scrapbook.com as both "cute" and "funny."  I love these papers, and did a little experimenting with distress stain--also some goodies from Authentique.  This was Halloween last year--had to change my journal after I snapped the picture.  Thanks for looking!

Mind Your Mummy


Hello Scrap Fans--Well, I did create a non-picture Halloween LO for my 12 x 12 inch frame.  I love decorating for Halloween, so this will just join my stash.  Please send me any of your altered projects or non-picture Halloween decor--I would love to see them.  Happy Scrapping!

Hello Fellow Scrappers--October Fun

Hi All--I am trying to get inspiration for some October pages, and I find Kiernan's cutesy pix are not doing it for me.  When my scrappy friend Courtney mentioned a challenge without a photo, I started getting my creative juices flowing again.

So, that got me to thinking about altered projects as well.  Thus far, I haven't really had the courage to try any.  I have a few blocks I want to play with and also a chipboard album/box.  I hope to work with these this month and see about posting them.

Also--I am hosting the Fabric, Trim and Ribbon Challenge over at sb.com.  For details go here... http://www.scrapbook.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/1565193/ The prize this month will be a fat quarter of black and cream toile by Calico Corners--it's a great quality materials for your crafting needs.  Please join me in the challenge.  Here is a little fabric inspiration...

Example:

But the only rule is that you use fabric in a LO in some way.  I will be asking for votes on October 1st and have offered five yoyo for your own scrapping or craft use to the winner.  I hope to offer the challenge again next month if we all enjoy it.  Thanks for checking in and look forward to seeing your entries!

This is my Take on Something Borrowed, Something Blue

Another page for Gram's book, but the first one of me--this is a wedding photo from 1998.  I have been practicing the medallions, and I wanted to use some yellow echo park papers--the blue I swept over a white embossed page after the title/journal  came to mind.
