Fall greetings....

I am a total sucker for all things autumnal. I just love the fall colors, so I now find myself with two large paper packs I bought last year (on clearance, mind you) full of fall papers. And because I'm also trying really hard to use my stash before it all collapses on my head in a tragic scrapbooking accident, I need to use them.

So I made some three-layer cards! The papers are MAMBI and DCWV, and some of them are pretty thin, so they lend themselves to layering like this. I used my awesome Kreaxions 4-in-1 punches to punch the edges, and although that gives a pretty dressy result that could certainly stand on its own, I embellished further with some Making Memories Autumn Splendor leaves and glitter stems.

Thanks for stopping by!

My Halloween projects is a mini-album I made for my friend Maria so she could keep pictures of her son's costumes over the years in one place. I used Kreaxions 4-in-1 punch #918 along the edge of each page to give the album continuity, and I backed the black cardstock with orange to make the punched images pop. The border stickers are from K and Co, and the album is a Zutter Cover-All.

Today, I want to share a Halloween garland I made. Because Halloween is one of my favorite holidays (come on, how many purely candy-based holidays are there??), I always have more Halloween-based crafting stuff than I can realistically use on layouts of my childrens' costumes. So, I decided to use up lots of bits and pieces of papers, embellishments, and ribbon to make this garland.

All of the sections started out as rectangles. If you cut them all the same size, your garland will stay in proportion. I layered patterned paper, cut just a half and inch smaller in both height and width, over the black carstock. I used patterned paper from a single line (this is actually from a fall -themed paper stack) so that all my colors would work together, but this would also be cool with mixed papers. I used my stash of Martha Stewart ribbon to decorate and string the garland together, and various embellies, including the LYB clears, to finish it.

Here are some close-ups:

Decorative scissors add texture to the edges.

This shape was made by using a circle punch on the corners of a rectangle .

The letters are mounted on scalloped circles punched from the same paper line for additional contrast.

Now for the treat: leave me a comment to be entered to win an awesome scrappy treat. Want another entry? Become a follower of my blog and leave me a second comment telling me you did so. You have until midnight tonight, October 16! And remember, leave comments on all the DT's blogs for more chances to win!

Thanks for hopping by! Your next stop is Maureen

It's a pink and flowery kinda day...

I don't know why I was in the mood to create something so, well, girly. Maybe because my 6-year old daughter loves everything pink and pretty. Anyway, Kreaxions 4-in-1 punch 903 and my trusty Kreaxions circle cutter created the oval frame. The flowers and leaves are Kreaxions punches, too!

Have a great day!

Deb

Six.

I cannot believe you are 6 today. That sounds so big and so little at the same time. I hope every one of your wishes comes true. Happy birthday, my darling girl.

A very cupcake birthday

We had Gabi's birthday party yesterday at Treat Cupcake Bar - a big thank you to Marie at Treat for making it such a fun time! The girls started by decorating their own cupcakes boxes. Then Marie taught them how to make decorations out of fondant, and they created polka dots, balloons, and squiggles. The, out came bowls of pink, purple, and blue frosting, along with mini M&Ms, Gummi Bears, sprinkles, and oreos, and each girl decorated 6 cupcakes. It was a delicious afternoon that had all the parents wishing they could play too!

Have a great Monday!

-Deb
