Pop Up Ghost Halloween Card

This weeks Splitcoast tutorial was on making these cute little free standing pop up cards. When I read it this morning, it was rainy and dark out - definitely FALL - so naturally that means its time to start on Halloween cards. My pop up had to be a tombstone. I used Cricut and DS to make the base, although it can be made easily without a cricut using the SCS tutorial:

The ghost is from Paper dolls, cut at 4 inches. I have it on the .cut file, but it didn't cut for some reason. I'd be curious to know if anyone else can get it to cut using the file. I just updated the version, so maybe it had something to do with that. I glued a piece of black cardstock behind the letters and then added brads to make sure it was secure. There is sponged black ink on EVERYTHING for aging. The Happy Halloween is from the new SU rub-on pack Chills & Thrills. This was a fun card to make, thanks Mary Jo Albright for the tutorial and inspiration.

DINOSAURS

While we were in Oregon this week we stopped at OMSI, it is my FAVORITE place to take the kids. This is a digital page, the layout and the papers are from Scrapgirls (this is the EXTINCT scrapbooking kit).

Inspired by Nature

I am in love with this new stamp set from SU, I got a chance to make this card at my friends house last week and I loved the set so much that I ordered one. It came today so I had to ink'er up! I made this one for the SC191 Challenge. Colors are Pumpkin, Ruby Red and Cocoa, all items are Stampin Up. We've been on vacation for the past week, and I have lots of photos to scrap, but hopefully I will have time to make a few more things with this fun set.

WOW, this totally made my day

I woke up to this today - I was honored as blog of the week on http://www.everythingcricut.blogspot.com Very cool! Thank you to Grace and Saige for all the kind words on your blog, you made my day! For those of you who have a cricut, check out their blog, you will be AMAZED! I know I will be visiting there often.

Have a great weekend!

Storybook 80th Birthday Card

I have one friend that loves to buy supplies to make cards, but never actually makes any. Instead she calls me. Works out fine, I love to make cards. Yesterday she called and needed a quick birthday card for 80th. This is the one I made, it was a great excuse to try some of the storybook frames (just got that cart, LOVE it). I decided on this one cut at 3 inches, numbers are cut at 2 inch. The slit punch is Stampin' Up! (one of my favorite punches), the dots around the frame are silver brads. Colors are Soft Sky and Celery (Stampin Up) and happy birthday is a MM rub on. Thanks for looking!

Sucia Scrap page

This was done mostly with PE6, the journaling brackets are from my new Storybook cart cut at 1.5 inches. I took the layout from 2PeasInABucket. I used one of my pictures for the 12x12 background. We had taken the dingy to shore to look for a geochache. We didn't find it, the cliff was just too scary to continue with small children, but we did get a good picture of the boat from there.
