Zombie Card

My coworker, who loves zombies, got a promotion, so I made him this zombie card as a congrats. He loved it! I used the new We R Memory Keepers Halloween line for the card paper & die cut sentiment. I used this awesome cut up green fabric ribbon and Jolee's spider sticker & potion bottle sticker. I inked all the endges with black chalk ink.

Black Widow Halloween Cards

My first Halloween cards of the year are made using We R Memory Keepers' "Black Widow" line from ScrapVille. Love the fun dark patterns in this line mixed with deep purple, dark brown and black. I added stickles to many of the stickers/tags and I inked all my edges to continue that dark vintage feel.

Halloween is Coming Soon!

Halloween is my most favorite Holiday and time of the year. For my ScrapVille Design Team project in August, I got to play with the new Authentique line "Enchanted".

See the YouTube video here!

First I made this "Halloween" pennant banner. I cut out letters using the Cricut machine, then covered them with stickles. I decorated the banner using the 6x6 paper pad and the element sticker sheet both from Authentique's line, along with paper rosetts and paper flowers. I also added small spiderwebs in the pennant corners from DeNami's Halloween Stamp Set and used thier new Trick or Treat sentiment. I also decorated the back of the banner with the 6x6 paper pad and small spiderweb stamp in case it's hung up in a location where you can see the back too.































For my other project, I created this awesome mini book using a Basically Bare book, 12x12 papers and element sticker sheet from Authentique's line. I inked all the edges with black chalk ink. The title here below is cut with a Cricut cartridge and cover randomly with Perfect Pearls.














There are 4 envelope pockets in the book, here are two of the inserts (pic/journaling on the front & text sticker on the back):

And here are the other two inserts (pic on the front and 3 small pics/journaling on the back):


I look forward with playing with more Halloween lines this year as they arrive in stores over the next few weeks...

Shoreline Fun!

For my next ScrapVille Design Team challenge, I created these cards from American Crafts Shoreline collection. I also used Studio Calico's wood veneer cameras and camera mistables. So much fun to dye the cameras using Tim Holtz distress stains and adding stickles- a great way to make them match my papers and not very messy!
