Pumpkin Card

I totally scraplifted this card from
The Cutting Cafe (http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com) and
Kreative Korner By Kelly (http://kreativekornerbykelly.blogspot.com/).
When I saw this card I just had to make one. It is so adorable.

So, here is my version of it (of course created on the Gypsy):



Recipe:
Pumpkin - Mini Monsters - cut at 3.75" x 6" (real dial size)
Stem - Mini Monsters - cut a 2.89" x 5.9"
Spiders - Doodlecharms - cut at 1.47" x 1.10"
CuttleBug folders - Swiss Dots & Distressed Stripes

Thanks for looking.

Birdhouse & Bird Card

I just got the Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons cartridge and just had to make this little bird and birdhouse. After the birdhouse was glued together I ran it through my CuttleBug. I really like the effect.

Recipe:
A2 card
Birdhouse - 4.75"
Bird - 1.5"
Cuttlebug Folders - Birds and Swirls & Victoria

Thanks for looking!

Thinking of You

This card was one of my "just playing" creations. I'm not entirely sure I like it, but decided to post it anyway. This was all created on the Gypsy.

Recipe:
Card - Just Because Cards - 10" x 7" (real dial size)
Sunflower window - Just Because Cards - 2.9" x 3"
Layers: Sunflower (and corresponding layers) - 1.19" x 4.5"
Thinking of You (shadow) - Gypsy Wanderings - 3.74" x 2"
Thinking of You - Gypsy Wanderings - 3.62" x 2"
Ok, the "O" in the word "of" was a flower which didn't really work with my sunflower card, so I used the layer of the sunflower to cover the the "O/flower" in the word "of" and welded that to the saying, and then layered it up and popdotted it off of the card. I also used some chalks to "dirty" it up a little.

Thanks for looking.

I loved making these crayons - they were so much fun!

Trick or Treat .....

Sorry I haven't posted any projects lately. I just haven't had as much time in the craft room as I would like too. I am working on "trick or treat" treat bag toppers using the Pumpkin Carvings cartridge. I only get 10 to 15 trick or treaters, so this isn't a huge undertaking, but I wanted to get a start on them and not be rushed at the last minute. Plus I am trying to use all of the cute pumpkin faces so they won't all be alike. So, keep an eye open for these treat bags.

On a brighter note.... my bank account is all straightened out again and I just got my new debit card in the mail. I'm still shopping for a credit card (which I really don't want). Not sure whether to go with the prepaid ones or a regular credit card .... decisions, decisions .....

Hope everyone has a great week!!!
