Happy November

Gosh...November...Happy Thanksgiving!
Holidays are sneaking up on us, which means we need to hurry and craft accordingly! This is my 2013 Thanksgiving card. I love the Modified Shutter card, (made one for Halloween), here's another. It's super easy. You can find the instructions at SCS. Enjoy and have fun!

Pinterest inspired -

Can you guess what I used on this card?

It's a paint chip from the local hardware store!  Today I decided to create a card from my Pinterest board.  I have accumulated so many inspirational cards and this is from one of them.  Unfortunately my textured white card base interfered with the rub-on sentiment.  Next time I'll use a stamp!!

Here's another card exactly scraplifted, except I left off the sentiment which will be included when the card is needed.

One paint chip is enough to use as the base and for your punchie.

In case your wondering ---  I only took 3 paint chips and we did buy paint :o)

Have a great one!!

Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch and Bazzil cardstock used

Happy Halloween!!

I received several cute Halloween goodies from some scrappy friends that I wanted to share with you:

The first one is from Karen, one of the Koolau Kroopers Club members.  I wished I asked which die she used for the basket!!

These are from Joanne, a student of mine who came to the Saturday Class.
 She said she downloaded both, printed them all on her silhoutte dye cutting machine.

Let's Hang Out

I busted out and dusted out the ol' Cricut to use up some scraps on the table, leftovers from the Funky Dinosaur class a couple of weeks ago:

 Cartridge used:  Create a Critter.  I pretty much went through all the cartridges I owned to find a dinosaur!

 

What is your favorite cartridge to use?

More Halloween Tags

So, after I used so many of my little Halloween tidbits for the treat bags for my daughter, I decided to stamp for the treat bags for my co-workers, rather than go buy more.   I had some really cute CTMH stamps that I hadn't used.   I'm going to attach these tags to the same chevron and polka dot treat bags from Container Store that I used for my daughter's bags.  

Paper is from a Halloween stack, CTMH cardstock, stamps and ink, organza ribbon and Halloween cord (Crafty Steals I think). The banner punch is SU.     Enjoy and Happy Halloween!   Karen

Autumn Tea Swap --

For August's Tea Swap, the theme was Autumn and here is the card I made for my partner.  I used a retired Stampin Up set called Autumn, Hero Arts Wood Background stamp, Nestibilities Label die, Glimmer Mist and ink pads by Stampin Up.

My partner, Tanya, owns a scrapbook store called Life's Memories & More in Ware, Massachusetts (Hi!!).  If you live in the area, please say visit her store and say, Hi!!!  She sent me this beautiful card she created using Gelatos.

Additional card fronts for me:

And a Halloween diecut and tag.
