Feeling Grateful

I feel that it would be appropriate to share some Thanksgiving/Fall scrapbook layouts today! I hope to take several pictures at our family gathering to fill them! I used the Pathfinding papers and complements to create these simple layouts. I had a little help from the Artbooking Cricut cartridge as well!

Give Thanks~

Oh-So Grateful~

I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving surrounded by family and friends. Remember to capture the memories!

A Fall and Halloween Card Exchange

I held my annual Fall card exchange yesterday. The participants had the option of creating a Fall themed card or a Halloween themed card. Last year when I held this event I was the only one that created a Halloween card. This year had a different outcome, which made it very interesting! As always I saw unique ideas and was inspired by all the talent of my wonderful friends & customers!

This is a picture of all the cards, except one. I'll post more about the table decor later!! ;)

First up is the card I made. As you may have seen in previous posts, I teased you a bit with cards that did not make the final cut. I hinted about images that carried forward to my final card. Do you see them now? I used the apothecary jar from the first card I showed with the candy in them. From my Halloween Characters card I stamped the skeleton dudes so they look like their floating in the jar. It was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest {Consultant Mischelle Smith} and I loved the unique and unpredictable blend of images!

I tried to show the shine of the fundamentals paper in this photo. I love Halloween so the purple hearts were just perfect. The added glitter in the shimmer trim and inside the jar just screams Halloween too!

So as you can see there was a great mix of Fall and Halloween themes! Please leave a comment and let these ladies know how beautiful their artwork is!

We are not even half way through the month though!! I still have several Halloween projects to share with you, so visit again soon!

Box Cards With Animals

I have been playing around making these popular box cards. There are lots of great ideas on the web making them with various themes and creating them in different sizes also. Here are just a couple I completed using a cutting file for the Cricut Design Space. You can find it at The Non-Crafty Crafter Blog. All the work is basically done by your Cricut. You simply add the details and embellishments!

This first one uses the Pathfinding papers and a cute little fox from an older Stamp of the Month.

This box has the awesome & way cool Chalk It Up papers and again another Stamp of the month.

These are so fun to make and even cooler to receive! Thanks for stopping by!
