Happy Halloween! Scrapbook Pages by YOU!

I tried to get pictures of every one's pages, but I didn't remember to get the camera until half of club left!
I believe this one is Whitney's. Don't you love how she made the eyeballs looking in different directions?! So cute :) Whitney is the teenage daughter of Elli (Elli was the one who really pushed me to start a club-and really wants me to set up a Stamp-All-Day event again). Isn't Whitney a talented young lady? And since the black on black thing wouldn't look so good for the bat stamp, we used the Platinum Shimmer paint on the Basic Black pages... I had brought along an old plastic container lid (Country Crock I think) and poured a little Shimmer Paint onto the lid. Then just used a sponge dauber to apply it to the stamp and to the embossed spiderweb. Worked beautifully with no spills!

 These next two I am not sure who made them. I waited to long to unload the camera and edit the photos for blog posting. But I like how the spider web was cut out, it looks really spooky!

I really like how this one put eyes on the little bats by the pumpkin with a white gel pen! I have a club full of imaginative, creative, sweet, and fun ladies! I really enjoy getting together with them every month, and thank them for joining me :)

So show me your pages ladies.. put a link in your comment so we can see your Halloween genius!

Spooky Card

Still in the Halloween mode! I just had to do something with the lace skirt idea I have seen floating around lately. I know I should be moving on to something other than Halloween projects, but I still have some to share! I made this last week and will probably be sending it to my niece and nephew. Right now I am probably at work renewing my ACLS certification. (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) and as I am typing this, I am thinking I should really be studying and taking my pretest, lol!

 I had the main embellishment sitting on my desk for a while waiting for a project that fit. I had actually thought about putting it on the scrapbook page for this month, but I didn't want to do too much stuff on one project with a room full of ladies :)

• Stamps: Wicked Cool, Grateful Greetings
• Paper: Basic Black, Basic Gray, Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz DSP
• Ink: Jet Black Stazon, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Basic Gray, Basic Black

Fangtastic Treats

I found this cute and quick (unless you feel compelled to get all fancy ) treat idea! I made 8 of these in about an hour with the coloring of the images. I found them on Cindy's Blog.
You can make 8 of these out of one 8½"x11" piece of card stock. Here are the instructions for cutting these.

1. Cut sheet into eight 2¾" x 4" pieces
2. Score the short side at ¼", ¾", and 1¼"
3. Rotate 90° and cut a slit 1/2" from each side (from the ¼" score line to the 1¼" score line) 

• Stamps: Fangtastic
• Paper:Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White
• Ink: Peach Parfait, Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz, Blush Blossom, Basic Gray
• Other: Blender Pen, paper cutter  with scoring blade

Here is our cute little witchie-poo! There are so many cute pieces to this set and with the clear mount, it was really easy to stamp the images where I wanted them :-)

And the Fangster himself! I love how the pumpkin's coloring turned out. It is Peach Parfait and Pumpkin Pie ink applied with a blender pen.

Now, go make some of these little treats yourself and share with us!

Coffee and Tea Please

More of Morning Cup... I love this set! I wanted to make a more unisex card this time so I chose some pretty masculine colors this time.

Lots of texture as usual. Maybe I should  try using something other than Vintage Wallpaper once in a while though, huh.

And the inside of the card. I may like this even more than the outside! I love those little tiny cups from the Itty Bitty Bits set!

• Stamps: Morning Cup, Itty Bitty Bits
• Paper: Chocolate Chip, Peach Parfait, Marina Mist, Naturals White
• Ink: Chocolate Chip, Peach Parfait, Marina Mist
• Other: Big Shot with Tasteful Trim die and Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, 1-3/8" Square punch, Scallop Square punch, Signo white gel pen, blender pen, Stampin Dimensionals  

Tea Bag Card

I used Holly's Color Round Up challenge for this one again. And Morning Cup :-)  I also used her tutorial for a tea bag card.

Please ignore the blue smudge on the front. I'm pretty sure the card fell onto the Marina Mist ink pad while I was working on another project that day. The Seam Binding ribbon ties quite nicely :-)

Here is the inside. It holds one packet of tea. I guess I better pick a caffeinated tea to put in here to fit in with the phrase on the front.

• Stamps: Morning Cup
• Paper: Certainly Celery, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
• Ink: Certainly Celery, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip
• Other: Pinking Hearts border punch, 1/2" Very Vanilla Seam Binding ribbon, Big Shot with Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, Stampin Dimensionals

Tower of Cups

When I got my Morning Cup stamps last week, I made a few projects with it the first day. I had a lot of fun with it! I actually can't wait to play with it again! I used the Color Round Up challenge for the color combo. Thanks Holly! I did have to add some pink though...

I stamped the tower of cups 3 times on top of each other then colored them with a blender pen.
 

The pink ribbon is actually some retired SU ribbon folded over a couple times. The top of the coffee pot has a Rhinestone Basic Jewel to make it look like an old percolator coffee pot. Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder added texture and the pearls on the from really stepped this card up. Loops of Pear Pizzazz ribbon add some balance to the layout.

• Stamps: Morning Cup
• Paper: Certainly Celery, Naturals White, Crumb Cake
• Ink: Pink Pirouette, Certainly Celery, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso
• Other: Big Shot with Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, blender pen,  Stampin Dimensionals, Pearls Basic Jewels, Pink Pirouette 1-1/4" grosgrain ribbon, Pear Pizzazz Double stitched ribbon, Sticky Strip, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Tall Halloween Cutie

I made this to fit in a business sized envelope last week. It was a fun card to make, lots of "white space". I really had to resist the urge to fill it up!

 This image is so easy to color.  I am sure I will be using the images in this set alot! Isn't the crochet trim sweet on the side of the image? It really complements the style of this stamp set. I anchored the crochet trim with Early Espresso 1/8" taffeta. The image was colored with an aqua-painter and ink squeezed onto the lid of the inside of the ink pad. I added little highlights on the trim with a white gel pen and added Pearls to it also. The little flower is from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack. The pumpkins are from the Autumn Harvest set again.

• Stamps: Greeting Card Kids, Autumn Harvest
• Paper: Concord Crush, Peach Parfait, Certainly Celery, Watercolor paper
• Ink: Peach Parfait, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Basic Gray, More Mustard, Daffodil Delight
• Other: Big Shot with Tasteful Trim die, Pearl Basic Jewels, Signo white gel pen, aqua-painter, Victoria crochet trim, Early Espresso 1/8" taffeta, Stampin Dimensionals, Sticky Strip, Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack

This is the whole card. What do you all think? Too much white space?

ETA: I submitted this card to a challenge!

Check it out  :)
