Graphic 45 "Hallowe'en in Wonderland" Tissue Roll Mini Album

I hit a "create" nerve when I was going through my scrapbooking stash and ran into a wad of tissue rolls I was saving for future mini album projects. I decided to take some of the tissue rolls and create a Halloween mini using Graphic 45's Hallowe'en in Wonderland paper collection -- LOVE this paper collection... then again, I love ALL Graphic 45's papers! hehe!

I'm including pictures of the completed project below. But for details, be sure to check out the YouTube vid. :-)

Thanks for stopping by everyone and have an AWESOME week!

hugs,

TGF Halloween Card

I just started getting into the Halloween spirit, just a little behind everyone else! I've seen such amazing Halloween projects out here on blogger and YouTube, and I have yet to create something... but I'm getting there! hehe! I was lucky to get a 20% F&F coupon at Michael's from a YouTube friend, so I'll be stocking up on my Halloween scrapbooking stash soon... then I can get started on a few mini albums. :-)

I created this card for a friend... the Greeting Farm "Sweet & Toxic" image was my inspiration. I had just received the Sizzix spiderweb die in the mail this morning so I had to try it out and decided to incorporate it into the card. I used silver acrylic dabber paint on the spiderweb then edged it with pitch black dabber paint. I shredded some cheese cloth under the spider web to add some freaky dimension. I also took my hot glue gun and pulled on the hot glue to add more realistic spider webs. The rubbery spider is from Michael's (Oh, and let me say that I absolutely HATE spiders, they creep me OUT!! So working with this rubber spider was just so freaky for me!!!! LOL!!) The paper & sentiment are from last year's "Halloween" paper collection by Recollections. I edged the paper with my Tim Holtz paper distresser and inked it with Black Soot distress ink. I then sprayed the polka dot paper with "Black Magic" glimmer mist by Tattered Angels. The Halloween Ticket is from the Tim Holtz "Odds and Ends" clingmount stamp set. I colored in the sweet & toxic chick using my Copic markers and At You Spica glitter pens. Hope you likey! :-) Thanks for stopping by!

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!

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! :-)

hugs,

Arlene

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