Have a Witchy Day

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

My parents, husband, and myself will be jointing my co-family (in laws) in Saint Francis Wood in San Francisco for a Halloween celebration! Last year was their first Halloween in that community and the community told them it was a "hot spot" for trick-or-treaters... well, that was an understatement... We used a counter and clicked for every person that came to the door. After an hour and a half we had given candy out to 1280 children... yes, you read that number right.... 1280!!!! So this year we are going to be prepared! We are very excited about it. So I hope you are doing something fun tonight too! I am personally looking forward to the Hot Apple Cider! 

Over at Imaginisce we are giving you some last minute Halloween inspiration! So definitely go over there and check it out! 

This card is going to my grammy in Ohio! I designed the whole thing around her and having her in mind and this is just PERfect for her! She is as spunky as this shoe and I get some of that from her. :) I know she'll love it!

Have a safe and happy Halloween!!!

Trick or Treat

Today for Imaginisce we are showing you the new colored foam tape! It is SUPER cool! At first I thought, "interesting... but how is it going to look in practice?" Well, hopefully these pics will show you how well it really works! For once I don't have the white showing out from underneath! I LOVE it! 

You know I wouldn't promote anything I didn't LOVE and this - let me just say - has NOT left my craft room table!!! Okay, enough gushing and onto my project.

A VERY sweet friend sent me Happy Hauntings (THANK YOU! You know who you are!!!), so I really wanted to use the cartridge for this Halloween!!! 

Trick or Treat


This first picture I pulled off the backing of the tape on the top of the pic -where the bats are- but then I realized you might want to see the before and after... The reason for the funny sizes is that the tape comes in both rolls sand big and little squares - all in one package! I'm sure you're familiar with the squares so I just took a picture of the roll below. Best part - it didn't stick to my scissors! 
 After! - look how it practically disappears! It's a bit shiny so I used the light to bounce off it so that you could see it a little better. 

The roll of red from the side. I know that the red would look good enough against the orange top to hide it.

 Check it out!!! :) I LOVED that it practically disappeared!



Recipe:




Go and check out what the other ladies made with the foam at the Imaginisce Blog!!! It's pretty rad and it's one of those things like the i-rock, once you play with it, you LOVE it!!!

My Pink Designer Showcase - Cricut Banner

WELCOME to this week's edition of the My Pink Designer Showcase! The challenge for us designers (if you want to call it a challenge - I had SO much fun!) was to come up with a project that was orange, black, green, and purple and used the new Spook-alicious line! 

Many of you know that there was a contest that is just ending where Provo Craft asked us to make a banner that spelled out Cricut and send it in for a chance for it to appear on HSN and therefore win a new E2 AND (if you are a Circle member) $150 credit to Cricut.com! What an AWEOME prize! So this is what I made for the contest! Wish me luck!


I wanted to use my new Apothecary Emporium from Echo Park too! I know that they have been good to Robyn and that she loves their papers and in my opinion they go hand in hand! 

I crinkled the spider in my hand really firmly. It's cut out of card stock vellum. It's my newest fad! Do you see the "Boo to you!" sign? Love it! My Pink Stamper stamps made this SO much more festive!

I know the skeleton has arms and legs, but I cut them out and then liked him better without them still. I thought it kept him not quite as creepy. haha. Maybe because without arms and legs he can't get me! 

I also did quite a bit of i-rocking on the bottom of the letters. 


LOVE that spider stamp that Robyn includes in the Spook-alicious stamp set! It's kind of cute in a creepy way!! I inked around the edges in the same white American Crafts ink that I used to stamp the words to give it a haunted feel. 

Now, I will give a design secret away. I had plans on getting that fake spider web stuff and putting it behind my letters! I wish I would have done it but I ran out of time before I needed to send this off! So don't forget to incorporate that into your Halloween projects! I am sure it will end up making it into mine! :) I thought the raffia was good enough for this one though and made it not so scary feeling! 


I hope you like it! Head on over to the My Pink Stamper Blog to see what the other ladies made with the Spook-alicious stamp set! I'm sure they will be spook-tacular!

Creepy Crawlies and Day 6 of 1000 Follower Giveaway!

Yesterday at Shop Pumpkin Spice, June was kind enough to take my day "Wednesday" and switch with me because of my Papa John. THANK YOU JUNE! So today I am sharing my card on Thursday! 

Don't be afraid to pull out last year's stash! I pulled out last year's Halloween line from MME to make this card and I still love it! Last year I put all of my leftover Halloween papers and embellishments in the same bag so that it would make pulling it out this year easier. It worked for me! :) 

Creepy Crawlies


Recipe:


I based this card on this sketch by Jana Eubank for the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge.


Today's giveaway is a set of Cuttlebug Folders! If you don't have a Cuttlebug, GET ONE! :) It was my FIRST card making tool and it is still probably still my favorite. I'm looking at this card and thinking, "why didn't I use the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder on the spiders!?!" haha. They are borders and you can check out the details HERE. 

This photo was taken from the Provo Craft website.

Leave a comment here to win this set! The rules are the same! Don't forget to leave a comment on all of the other posts this week to win prizes!!! :)
