AND THE BEST PART IS

 all this WEEKEND!!!

What a better way to celebrate World Card Day!

 

I'd like to share a few cards with you that I made using this kit.

 

 

This first card was so super quick to make. I layered strips of decorative tape on a a white card base, splattered a little black ink, added a tag from the Everyday Greetings kit and popped on a few stickers and some twine for texture.

My second card is even more simple.



 

I embossed the white paper and added some black paint spatters. Then I simply popped up a tag from the Everyday Greetings kit in the center of the card. I added a few glittery stickers and a button with a bow tied through it as a finishing touch.

 

and here is a quick close up so you can see the embossed background.

 

AND THE EVEN BETTER PART IS...

 

I get to give away one Everyday Greetings kit today!!!!

Spooky Tales from Elle's Studio

Last week Elle's Studio released their new line of Halloween/Thankful/Fall tags called Spooky Tales and yesterday the October Design Team Gallery went live to show off what our team created with these fun tags.  Today I am going to show you my projects up close and personal

 

My first layout is of photos from a few years ago. I have lots of Halloween pictures but I always get behind on scrapping them. This layout is about the Halloween party we held at the After School Program I used to work at.

 

This layout was really fun to create! I went a little silly with the googly eyes. I had some HUGE googly eyes that were the same size as the large dots on the background paper so I attached a few of them there, and also added some more eyes to 'O' in the 'Halloween' title and on the pull-out journaling spot.

 

 

I added a few layers of black tulle under the layers of paper to give it some spookiness, dimension and texture.

 

a few circle tags from Spooky Tales Tidbits...

 

Happy Halloween tag from the Spooky Tales Pennants...

 

 

the large 'Halloween' tag from Spooky Tales Large Journaling tags...

 

 

and the 'these are the details' tag from Spooky Tales 3x4 Note Tags. 

 

For my second layout I went with more of a fall theme. These pics are of my son from last fall. He loved the great big pumpkins!

 

 

The papers in the Simple Stories Harvest Lane collection were perfect for this layout. I love the homey feel they have and I liked that the one paper kind of looked like a quilt and Sully is sitting on a quilt in the photos.

 

 

 I layered one of Elle's tags (orange chevron) with a manila tag and some of the Harvest lane stickers to create my title block.

 

an Elle's tag from Spooky Tales Thankful Pennants for the date...

 

I took the sticker from the Harvest Lane sticker sheet and altered it for this page. I cut a small circle out of burlap and put it on the sticker and then layered one of the Spooky Tales Tidbits on top.

My final project was the one I shared a sneak peak of during our hop last week...

I made a dry erase frame! Did you know that you can write on glass with dry erase markers?! Thank you Pinterest for that little tip.
 

 

I thought it would be nice to have a frame for a Thanksgiving decoration where you could write on it what you are thankful for that year.

 

 

The best part is, it is reusable! You could keep it up all year round to remind you and your family to be thankful, or you can just bring it out each Thanksgiving and change what you write on it...

you could even add the date!
 

And here is what it looks like when it is blank.

To make this I just simply attached one of the Large Journaling Tags onto some burlap and added a few of the Spooky Tales Pennants. Then I slipped it into the frame. The flower sticker embellishments are actually on top of the glass so that it wouldn't be to fat inside the frame.

PRIZE ALERT!!! If you are interested, I am giving away this dry erase frame on my FB page Becky's Custom Papercrafting Creations.  Just follow this link, like my FB page, and comment for your chance to win. I'll be drawing a winner on Friday October 5th

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my projects!
You can see what the rest of the Design Team came up with HERE
Have a great day!

Sketchabilities-Sketch 76

Hi friends!

We have a new layout from Sketchabilities to share with you today!

Here is my take on the sketch...

 

My Dad turned 60 this summer and this layout is of my kids helping him blow out the candles on his cake. My Dad is not a big party kind of guy so we just had a small family celebration with a nice dinner and his favorite chocolate cake. We didn't want to burn the house down with 60 candles so we made due with 6 LOL ;)

 

and a few close ups...

Supplies used: Patterned Papers-Echo Park, Heidi Swapp, October Afternoon; Letter stickers-Echo Park; number stickers-Pink Paislee; flags-Echo Park, Elle's Studio; Tags-Elle's Studio; brads-Kaisercraft; Twine-The Twinery; misc-buttons, embroidery floss.

 

I hope you will join us and play along with the sketch. Link up your layouts at Sketchabilities by October 13th for a chance to win an amazing prize and be featured on the Sketchabilities blog.

 

Thanks for stopping by

Have a great day

Elle's Studio blog hop!

 

 

Today we are celebrating the release of Elle’s Studio’s two new lines for Autumn and Christmas: Spooky Tales and Be Merry! They are hitting the stores this week and you can also get them at the website now!

The Spooky Tales line works great for Autumn/Fall AND Halloween! And, the Be Merry line is perfect for Christmas layouts, cards, and would work great for your December Daily! And, as a bonus, with both lines they’ve also worked in tons of tags that are perfect for Project life!

I love Halloween and Christmas! There are always so many great photos to scrapbook. From cute costumes and trips to the pumpkin patch to baking cookies and trimming the Christmas tree, these new tags from Elle's will cover it all! I always like the circle tags the best! I think it is because all my scrapbooking is so square, I like the contrast of a circle tag to embellish my project.

On my sneek peek project I didn't use any circles though!

Here’s a little peek of one of my projects for the October gallery that is debuting on October 1st. The supplies I used in this sneak peek are: Spooky Tales Pennants and Spooky Tales Large Journaling Tags

 

My project would be a perfect item to decorate your home during the fall holiday season. Place it on a mantle during your Thanksgiving dinner, or incorporate it as part of a center piece. It is a great item to help your family share what they are thankful for. Are you intrigued yet? Do you think you know what it is? I hope you will check back on Monday October 1st when our Design Team Gallery goes LIVE!!!

and now for the best part!....

Today I get to giveaway two of my favorite items from the new release to one lucky winner! Leave a comment to be entered to win the Spooky Tales 3 inch circles, and the Be Merry Journaling Tags in mixed sizes. I’ll draw one winner on Saturday, September 29^th, so make sure you check back to see if you’ve won!

And, don't forget to keep going! There are different prizes and winners at every stop in the hop - you have 13 more chances to WIN:
