Grandpa's lil Pumpkin layout

Layout I made for the imaginisce challenge this month.

I used all imaginisce paper except the corrugated cardboard strip & the paper used for the title and the pumpkins. I cut the ovals for the pumpkins with Cricut Craft Room Basics. The title was cut with Mini Monsters and the other text I cant remember for sure put I think it was Plantin Schoolbook. I used the irock and some orange gems in the top corners and for the dot on the "i" in "lil". All of the text is dotted with white gel pen and the pumpkins are inked around the edges in dark brown. I also inked the cardboard and parts of the background with brown ink.

I'm entering this layout into the following challenges:

My Cricut Craft Room scrapbook fri - pumpkins

Today is My Cricut Craft Room Scrapbook Friday and the theme was to make a fall page. Well when I think of fall sure I think of leaves, and rain, and cold (all things I love!), but I also think of the pumpkin patch.. which is one of my favorite things to do in the fall aside from halloween and everything else fall and fun lol.

So for my layout I used a few different carts.. the title is cut from Mini Monsters, the set of 3 pumpkins is from Holiday Cakes, and the bottom corner pumpkin is from Disney Princesses Happily Ever After.

Most of the paper is DCWV fall/halloween stacks. The photo mats are greenish blue card stock. I added a journaling tag from kraft and ripped it up a bit. At the top I cut a strip of different brown from the same paper line and used scalloped scissors, then I added some pen work in gold and white to help make it more visible.

Spooktacular (1st) Spinner Card

Well here it is everyone... the coolest card I've ever made. I know it's not wonderful or anything but I'm pretty pleased with my very first spinner card.

Theres lots of tutorials online about making spinners if you'd like to try your hand... super easy! Basically its to of the same cut with fishing line in between and glued inside(atg taped lol) and then the extra string gets put between the window (you make an extra one for the inside and do the same thing you did with the monster/cut or whatever you want to use.

I embossed 2 papers with different cuttle bug folders... the front yellow one and the background purple. and inked both.. one with orange ink the other with dark purple.

I attached the purple strip with the sentiment with small silver brads.. (this is a sketch from PKS this week).

And I used some different pk stamps for the monster.. I cut the monster from Mini Monsters. Hope you like it too!

Do Not Enter wall decor

I made this little sign using Mini Monsters cart.

I used some chipboard from a flier that came in the mail and its cut at 5.5x6 and then i covered it with the green circle paper cut at the same size. I cut the spider & web image at 4 inches and the "DO NOT ENTER" at 3 1/4 in both black and orange. I inked the spider with black and put some google eyes on him. I hi-lited the web with a white gelly roll pen. Using my big bite 2 I punched holes along the bottom and right side as well as a whole on each of the sides on the top for the ribbon to hang. I threaded black ribbon thru the bottom holes and orange ribbon thru the side holes.

Happy Birthday Card

We just got back from my B-day trip to Yellowstone and I was so excited to finally get to open up my b-day presents from my husband! (he's the best!) He got me a Cuttlebug, a few different embossing folders, Doodle Charms Cart, Sesame Street Cart, and Mini Monsters Cart. I couldn't wait to open em up and get to work. Im still working on the photos from the wedding we shot last weekend so I havent had much crafting time.. and wont for awhile.

I did manage to squeeze in this card though. It was the first thing I got to make with my Cuttlebug. I made this birthday card for my husbands grandma. This card fits into a few challenges:
