Happy Halloween Weekend!!

Oooh- it's only 2 days away, my favorite day of the entire year...Halloween!! I have been crafting like crazy this season, cards, layouts, and lots of home dec items. Have 2 projects to share with you today, first up is my trick-or-treat banner hanging on my mantle.

I rolled a vintage ruler stamping wheel in rust ink across 5x7 pieces of canvas, handpainted my fun letters in black and then added glitter for a bit of sparkle. What do you think? I'm adding this not-so-spooky banner to my etsy shop if you'd like one of your own!

Next up is a quick litte witch card for my Design Team post at 2 Sisters. The challenge this week is to create a project with Black, Orange, Purple and Lime Green. We used sweet little halloween images from The Crafting Boutique, here's my card:

A New Song is up at Scrap It With a Song

This week the song challenge at Scrap It With a Song is "Fearless" by Taylor Swift. My daughter and I went to see Miss Swift last June, it was her xmas gift, and man can she put on a great show!! So I decided to pull out those pics for this challenge.

Instead of using lyrics from the song "Fearless", I kind of cheated and pulled lyrics from another TS song, "the Best Day" which really fit the mood of the day my daughter and I had together. If you're not familiar with the song, you can read the lyrics here. It is such a sweet mother/daighter song, and brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it! To make my LO, I did a little misting, layered a couple pattern papers with some fun trims, embossed my stamp designs on chipboard and added a handwritten title. Be sure and stop on by Scrap It with a Song for more Design Team inspiration, and linkup your own "Fearless" design!! =) T

Challenges:

-Scrap It With a Song inspired by Taylor Swift

-Scrap Our Stash use a quote

-Inspire Me Fridays link party

-Pile It On be happy

Three-for-Tuesday!

Hello and happy Tuesday! 3 more projects to share with you today! First up I have a LO I created showing off my love of all things Beatles. I have a huge collection of memorabelia on display throughout our home, but for some reason the thought never crossed my mind to scrapbook about it. And then  Mindy posted the cover art from the album Abbey Road as inspiration for an assignment at Scrap It With a Song! I pulled out papers from The Crafting Family and here's what I created:

next up is my project for the DT at Triplicate Trials Tuesday. The latest challenge is combining hot pink, black and yellow; a cute sketch with circles and a banner; and the modern, chic theme. Here's the card I created using those prompts:

And finally I have my latest LO for Twisted Sketches. Anam has another fabulous sketch to use, plus the twist of "Spell". I was all caught up on Halloween projects *gasp* so i decided to incorporate "Spell" in my title, "A is for Anna":

Another batch of projects to share!

Ugghh- still playing catch up, here are a few more layouts I have to share with you:

There's always a fabulous sketch up at Twisted Sketches, and I have a LO to share with you from their sketch #122. It was a sketch +a "twist" to include twine, so I simply looped a bit of twine along the page behind a couple of my butterfly embellishments.

The girls at ~Lets Blog are celebrating Sweetest Day, so I made a quick little card for my sweet. I wrote the word "sweet" on a simple cardstock tag, and highlighted the word, as well as the edges of the tag, with a grey marker.

And finally, there's always a great challenge up at Triplicate Trials Tuesdays, here's the LO I created for the challenge #10. The colors to use were Navy and Khaki, the theme was fashion, and there was a fun sketch to play with too.
