And here is what I created!

October Notebook. This lovely witch is Witchy Wednesday! I don't know about you all but I right lists and jot things done constantly. I have notebooks all over the house and I thought "Why not make a fun and pretty notebook to write all those things down! This one is going to be for October! (and all the things I must get done, etc...)

 

The papers are from MAMBI, the alphas are from Thickers, the bling is from Zva Creative. I used my Cricut Expression to cut out the ovals, Christmas Red Stickles, Majestic Purple Liquid Pearls, and Copics to color my image.

 

 

What do you think? I hope this and the other creations for this hop inspire you!

Teen Scene Halloween 2 Blog Hop - Day 3

Hello, all! Time for day 3 of the Teen Scene Halloween 2 Blog Hop! I hope you are liking this awesome Halloween collection!

Today we are previewing the stamps, Banshee and Jude Mummified!

Did You Say Candy? Card. This ethereal pretty is Banshee. She is floating away from the temptation of all that candy! She must resist. Even a ghost has to watch her ghoulish figure! Lol. (Corny, I know....) Papers from DCWV, ribbon from a Simply B Stamps kit, sentiment from Simply B Stamps, and cardstock from stash. Image colored with Copics. 

Wrapped Around Your Little Finger Card. This tied-up teen is Jude Mummified. He reminds me of when my daughters thought they could wrap themselves in toilet paper and become mummies! :) The paper is from MAMBI, cardstock from stash, sentiment from Simply B Stamps, stapled with Tim Holtz Mini Attacher, and "linen" wrap is seam tape dyed with Antique Linen Distress Ink Reinker. Image colored with Copics.

Jude & the Rockers Halloween Blog Hop

Hello, all! We're having a little fun with the new Jude and the Rockers Halloween collection today! Come join in on the Simply B Stamps blog hop to celebrate the impending arrival of Halloween and the recent release of these awesome stamps! I know I can't wait for the 31st of October and anything Halloween is welcome! Lol.

These are the cards that I created with the Jude & the Rockers Halloween stamps:

Frightful! Card. This little guy is Little Skeleton Oscar. I love his little skeleton costume and used the bones as a theme for the card so I used paper that showed a skeleton's ribs for a background.

Happy Halloween Card. This is Little Pumpkin Lilly. She is the cutest pumpkin! My daughters both had pumpkin costumes as babies and this reminds me of these wonderful times.

Boo Card. Here is Little Bat Ali. She's a cheeky one! And I loved coloring in her striped outfit!

RAWR! Card. This is Little Monster Jude. He is the most adorable monster and I don't think he could frighten anyone but he'll do his best I'm sure ;)

Beware Card. Here is Dark Fairy Brittany. I love her face, full of mischief. She may be a fairy but there's nothing sweet and innocent about her!

Trick or Treat Card. This adorable witch is Little Witch Ariel. I love her sweet and innocent look (completely opposite of her above friend). She is such a darling witch and I must admit this is my favorite of all the cards I created.

Supplies: papers and cardstock from stash, Prima bling, Cricut Expression, scalloped border punch, and Copics.

Here is the project I completed for this month's blog hop:

Ooh La La Card. For the Mesh theme of the blog hop, I used Webster's Pages Bloomers ribbon since it has a mesh backing. The digi stamp I used for this is from the Smitten digi set from Smeared Ink. The papers are from my stash as were the alphas and flowers. I added some Stickles to the flowers  to give them some sparkle. I also inked the edges of the image and the paper with Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

Now onto a layout I created using the September Scraps of Darkness Passages Kit. This is for the Skeletons in the Closet Challenge over at the Scraps of Darkness forum. This month's topic is "Who Are You - When No One is Looking?

Unguarded Layout. This is a recent self portrait that I photo edited. I used the Scraps of Darkness Passages Kit which comprised of many wonderful Teresa Collins World Traveler papers. I cut one into strips to lay over the other to represent being locked up. I added the brick masking for this effect, too. I die cut cork pieces with my Vagabond and misted some Petaloo Color Me Crazy flowers with Smooch mists in Holly Berry and Wood Stain. The small flowers are Prima Londonerry. The flourished are from Bo Bunny's Et Cetera line. The hinges are from Vintaj. I added Rouge Liquid Pearls to the flourishes.

Unguarded Close Up. I added some hidden journaling on a tag that hides behind the photo matting. The butterfly is from Prima and the brads are from the Teresa Collins World Traveler collection. The journaling reads "When no one is looking, I let my guard down and truly become ME. I don't have to care about what every one else thinks or needs. I can relax and take care of my self."

Unguarded Close up 2. This is a close up of some of the misted flowers and cork flowers on this page.
