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...

Go Packers!

One of my best friends is moving into a new apartment with his almost 2 year old son. He LOVES the Green Bay Packers, so I made his son this cute banner using the Green Bay Packers colors and a general sports patterned paper (in case his son likes more than football someday). This thick glitter paper is perfect for the banner as it's super sturdy. I used twine to hold the banner up and give it that boy/rugged look. I used Tim Holtz distress stain (vintage photo) to die the white letters and give it that football leather look). All materials purchased at ScrapVille.
