How is it that I missed the first half of November?? I can't believe the month is halfway over...
November is a really fun month this year - there are lots of great goings on... First, the new TWILIGHT movie, New Moon, opens in 3 DAYS!! I'm not embarassed to say I'm a complete fan, and I've been counting the days since June.
Another thing I have been looking forward to is Black Friday!! I love having a power shopping marathon with my sister - we are very strategic, and effective. :)

ANYHOW... I have some great 3 bugs in a run scrapbook page kits listed on my ebay right now... (user name - happytoscrapforyou) and I thought I'd share some of the projects I made using them!! Check them out:

First some layouts:




This little guy was cut on my cricut - he is on the doodlecharms cartridge.







Can you see the shine on these hearts? I covered them in diamond glaze. Love that stuff!








Check out the little photo corners I made using a martha corner punch. I'm going to play around with these a little more, and post a step by step if they continue to work out.



Now for some cards, using the same product:










I also made three snowmen cards, using the BRAND NEW mini seasonal cartridges by provocraft. I've ordered some more of these to list on ebay - people are loving them!! These little guys are from the snow friends cartridge.






tfl! I'll be back later this week - I plan on spending a good deal of time scrapping!!

Here is a card I made using Martha Stewart stamps and papers:



I used stampin up ink for the elephant and the sentiment. these cards will go into my sisters' Christmas box.



The paper flower are creative memories - I really like them. I used some of their black and white flowers on my halloween cards below - I need to order some more. Super cute and easy to use.





My sister asked me to make some blank album pages for her friend who just got married. I had some of the Martha paper left over, so I decided to throw together a few layouts. It's so much easier when you don't have to worry about putting pictures on... lol.
I used the Martha Stewart PP, Bazzill cardstock, the letters are Thickers by American Crafts, A Martha Stewart punch around the page punch, and the silver dots are in the embellishment isle at Joanns.



The flowers were punched using a new Creative Memories flower punch, and layered. The buttons are from a sack of clear buttons by Foof-a-laa. (love their name. :)



I tied some floss through the buttons to give them a little something extra. :)

tfl!

Halloween goodies!!

I put together some Halloween cards this week - and had such a blast!! Most of these will go into boxes for my sisters for christmas.



I used a martha stewart border punch for this one, and my handy dandy dymo labeler. The background was embossed with cuttlebug's distressed stripes folder.



I just think these little mice are the cutest!!




I used another martha punch to cut out the mouse for the inside. I attached him with a pop dot to give him a little dimension.




While I was crafting, I decided to organize my stash of 'Thickers' letter stickers by American Crafts... and HOLY COW! I have an entire box full, several duplicates... oops! They are now well organized, and I used some of my stash...




The letters are white foam American Crafts thickers. The die cut punkins' are a Cuttlebug 3x3 die entitled 'halloween' (how appropriate!) They are soo teeny and soo cute!!





The journaling box on the inside of this card is another cuttlebug die - it comes in a combo set called 'halloween sign.' I just squealed when I saw how cute this little cut out was... It can be used for anything!!



I made this card using the cuttlebug die 'halloween' again - more of the cute teeny images from this die. The lower half of the card was embossed using swiss dots.




This is the inside of that card... The black background is punched at the bottom with the drippy goo punch by martha and embossed with cuttlebugs distressed stripes folder. The circular saying says 'witching you a happy halloween!' It's a studio G stamp that you can get in the dollar bin at Moores... love it. :) I then embossed the circle with swiss dots - I'm not sure I'd repeat this maneuver for the entire circle... makes the stamp sort of hard to read. But what's done is done, so I went with it. :)


The bat is from the halloween cuttlebug die again. there are so many teeny cuts on this one die!







This picture is of a very simple card I did... patterned cardstock cut down to an A2 card size, and then a little stitch of ribbon, and this halloween sentiment. I made it with the cuttlebug halloween sign combo... The die cuts out the sign and the embossing folder embosses it to say Happy Halloween - I inked it with charcoal color box ink to give it a little more definition.






inside: I used the cuttlebug combo set 'creepy' to cut out and emboss the bat -- he's pretty cute, for a bat!


On this card, I used the same cuttlebug combo set, and I backed it with a small square of black cardstock (3 1/4" x 3 1/4") punched with Martha Stewart's punch around the page spiderwebs. I LOVE LOVE LOVE these punch around the page punches!!





On the inside I used the cuttlebug combo 'RIP' to cut and emboss the gravestone.
I punched the white background cardstock with the martha drippy goo punch, and embossed it with swiss dots.





























Wow, I realize that's a ton of pictures... Wanted to share all my creations!!
tfl!
