Hallowe'en in Wonderland card

Hi everyone!

I haven't been feeling very "creative" lately. But I exchanged a few messages with a fellow YouTuber recently and had offered to send off some goodies... and you can't send off goodies without a little hand-made "something." So I decided to clear off the cob-webs from my scrapdesk and create a card. :-) I first want to say how inspired I am by many of you out there in YouTube and Blogger-land and it brings joy to my heart knowing what a caring and tight-knit community of scrappers we have out there. So thank you, each of you, for bringing that little "something" to my day when you comment, send me a message or just share your creativity on YT and blogger. :-) That said, let's move on to the card! :-)

I made this card using 120lb kraft cardstock, G45's Hallowe'en in Wonderland paper collection, flowers from iamroses.com, Tim Holz hardware from his Idealogy line, Prima Say it in Pearls bling and GORGEOUS lace/sequin from A Treasure's Nest. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by!

hugs,

CC Designs Card

Hi everyone! Wow, I just realized that it's been quite sometime since I updated my blog. Life has just been full of craziness these days... I'm hoping it eventually slows down, so I can slow down! LOL! Here is a card I made for my god-daughter a few weeks ago. The stamp is by CC Designs, I purchased it on www.allthatscraps.com. I used my Copic markers to color her, as well as my At You Spica glitter pens to give the cupcake and hearts a little glittery-glow. The paper collection was from my stash of scrap design papers so I'm not sure who it's by... the butterflies were punched out using my Martha Stewart butterfly/stamp/punch set. The paper lace was cut out using the MS Doiley Lace punch. The sentiments are from some random clear stamps from my stash and the flowers are from iamroses.com Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by! hugs, Arlene :-)

Graphic 45 Hallowe'en in Wonderland mini album page

Just a quick post today... :-)

This is the Graphic 45 Hallowe'en in Wonderland mini album page I made for Bona's mini album page swap for August. I used the "Jabberwocky" paper and had a great time making it. I kept it pretty simple, but I did some fussy cutting and embossing and stamping... this paper collection is so fun! I have so many ideas flying through my mind on other things to create with this collection, but it's a matter of finding the time to put those ideas into action! :-( Hopefully I'll get some scrappin' time later tonight... but for sure this weekend!!! :-)

Thanks for stopping by! hugs, Arlene

I used a #8 shipping tag to make this fold-out...

I used velco so the tags can be removed from the base and journaling and pictures can be added.

"Creepy" Wednesday - CC collection by The Greeting Farm

I had such a blast playing around with red hair with my Copic markers and I really like the way YR18, YR7 and YR4 blend. The Greeting Farm took a funky, yet refreshing turn with their Creepy Crew stamp collection. I LOVE them and had to get every day of the week... lol! This image is "Wednesday." She reminds me of a wicked cool school teacher. LOL! The paper collections I used are the Tim Holtz "Lost & Found" and Graphic 45's "Hallowe'en in Wonderland." I love the combination with the CC stamps. And those "At you Spica" glitter pens are AWESOME!! I used them on her eyelids and pig tail ties. I entered my picture in the Farm Fresh Friday challenge on the Greeting Farm website. And wow, what amazing work those ladies do on that blog!

Thanks for stopping by!

The Greeting Farm - "CC Tuesday" -- Wicked cute!!

I am so in love with The Greeting Farm's Creepy Crew collection. The images are so wickedly cute! Here is "CC Tuesday"... I used my Copic markers to color her and used my multi-liner pen, white signo pen, At You Spica glitter pen and Stickles to accent her. The frame is by Sizzix & the paper collection by DCWV "Le Creme." The outter part of the frame is black cardstock. I stamped a damask background (stamp by Hero Arts) on it with Perfect Medium and brushed Perfect Pearls over it. Super fun!

Thanks for dropping by! :-)

Here are the other CC girls that I have... so cute, love these!!!

A Scrapbooker's Tale Crop & Projects

Bona and I attended A Scrapbooker's Tale "Enchanted Crop" on Saturday hosted by Brandy, and I had such a GREAT time. We were laughing for days on end, I was in tears!!! LOL! You can watch the video HERE. I also included a few pics we took down below. Great times. :-)

I completed 2 projects... the first project is an 8x8 canvas I made of me and my Mom. My Mom is my best friend... I'm the only daughter and have 2 brothers... so my Mom and I were always close.

I used the Prima Pistache/Flights of Fancy paper collections... the base is painted with Golden artist grade paints, applied randomly with an old gift card. The trims are by Webster's Pages. I used Tim Holz book corners and flowers from www.iamroses.com. I had the best time creating this canvas. Can't wait to give it to my Mom. :-)

The 2nd project was a challenge I brought to crop. I purchased 2 paper packs of the My Minds Eye Meadow Lark papers - one for Bona, one for me. Luckily the Canon rep was at the crop again, so she let us print up unlimited photos... so we had her print up some pictures we took that night at the crop. The challenge was to use the paper collection I got for us, 5 pictures that we took at the crop... and use whatever embellishments or supplies we brought to crop with us. I included pictures below of the 12x12 layout I made for Bona and the one she made.... at the end, we swapped Layouts so I kept the one she made and she kept the one I made. Super fun! :-)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week! :-)

hugs,

Arlene

I got to grab a prize from out of the goody bag at crop! Yay! Thanks Brandy!!

This is the layout I created and gave to Bona...

This is the layout Bona created for me...
