Haunted House

 I started with the haunted house from the October 31st cartridge.I added yellow behind the windows to make it look like someone was home. Then accented the doors and roof lines with purple and of course a bit of stickles because sparkles make everything better. :-)

 I was having some much fun I decided my house needed a yard and some spooky trees!

And of course, a haunted house is not complete with out some bats flying out of the top.

I cut off one of the branches and moved it to the front so the tree was a bit more 3D. I do have a raven on the front branch of the tree, but it is hard to see. In hindsight I wish I would have cut it in a dark gray so that it contrasted a bit better.

Scrapbook pages

I got a 3 hour block of time to scrapbook today. I was heavenly! I worked on my daughters pages.

This is rather simple. I might add one or two small pictures. The paper and stickers are Heidi Grace.

Same with this one, I just feel that it needs more. I love the concept though. Maybe a journal spot and some stickers will finish it off. Guess I will have to head to the store! (Yippee!)

Still need to add the journaling spot to the bottom corner. But this would have to be one of my favorite pages i've ever made. Heidi Grace paper and bumble bee sticker. Cricut Pooh font cart for both the words and characters. Pooh and Eyore were cut at 2 1/2 inches. So some of the parts were so little that I had to use a tweezers to pick them up and glue them down!

Turkey Time!

Thanksgiving is drawing near. Thought I would make a few cards up to send to people that I don't see on this holiday.

 Turkey from the Create A Critter cartridge. The paper was left over from last season. (I believe it was DCWV?)

Inside I used a $1 Micheals stamp. (I get in trouble in their $1 bins!) Just simple leaves falling to add to the all theme.

Mini album

I am catching up on my scrapbooking. This is a mini album from our July vacation. I love mini books. They really give me a chance to go all out and use multiple papers/stickers/themes allin one book. But at the same time I don't bog down my large 12x12 scrapbooks with multiple pages from one event. I win both ways!

Skunks from Create a Critter

 This is a close up of the waves. They are cut from Alphaballo and then stickled. The Mom & Me lettering is drawn with markers on the Cricut. and is also from Alphaballo.

All the stickers are from my stash. I've had them for a long time and cant remember where they are from.

Finally, this is the fron t cover. I cut the letters from chipboard and then covered them in paper.I layers and glue the letter together tho create the word cover then added the embelishments.
