A Little Halloween Inspiration

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope you have had a chance to check out the current challenge that is up on the Challenge Blog. It's a fun one!

I chose this sneak of the Something Wicked kit as inspiration for my layout.

I liked the label from the Fancy Pants paper. This became the main focus of my layout. I hardly ever create a layout about myself so I also challenged myself to create a me layout.

I hope this will help you to be inspired to join us in the challenge. Happy creating!

A Quickie!

That's right friends, this is a super quick project and post!

I've been in a very gift-giveee mood lately, and I keep finding myself making cards and bags and tags and all kinds of containers. So for this new challenge over at the Challenge Blog I decided to make a gift bag. I used this sneak from the Study Hall kit:

And this is what I made with it:

It's just a very simple gift bag with a greeting card stuck to the front of it. Gotta love that MME burlap and that yummy Jenni Bowlin paper. Be sure to head on over to the challenge blog and join in the fun!

And be double sure to join in on your chance to win an awesome kit from Noel! So easy and soooooo fun!!

I mean, come on, you know you waaaaaaaant it!!

Happy Scrappin'!!

New challenge!

There is a new challenge up today!

And this is a fun, different one than some we have done in the past.

The challenge is to take one of the sneak peeks that Noel has posted for any of her kits and use it to inspire a layout.

Cool, huh!?!

OK so here is the sneak from the Study Hall kit I used...

{and I kind of used this one too}

And this is the layout I made!

{everything here is from the Study Hall kit}

I mean, I pretty much just wanted to use that uber-cool burlap!
:)

So join in and play along with this fun challenge!

Link your layouts up here and/or post them here.

Have a great week!

Trail Ride and School Days

Happy Sunday friends! I have a few LO's to share with you today! The first one is a lift of a LO I saw over on the Crate paper blog a few days ago. Over on the MB we decided we would work on it together and this is my version. If you are a MB member then head on over and check our everyone's take on it.
I used a bunch of bits and pieces from older kits. I do have some of these items in stock, so if anything catches your eye and you want to know what it is just ask and I can point you to it. :)



This next LO is done mainly with the Study Hall kit. I saw a sketch by Julie Bonner that caught my eye, so I based this one on her sketch.


I will be back tomorrow with a new challenge over on the challenge blog and a fun contest...so be sure to check back in!

Trick or treat!

The Something Wicked kit has been making this month so much fun for me! I love pulling out all the contents and inevitably thinking back to Halloween memories.... that of my own kids' and of my own. 

I wanted to capture the essence of trick or treating in this layout. I used a blurry picture from last year that shows the magical, fuzzy-around-the-edges, mystery of the night, and then the classic standing on the porch, waiting for some ghoul to come to the door with a bowl full of treats shot. 

I did a ton of fussy cutting on this layout.... from the pennant banner cut out of patterned paper, to the delightful little scene of trick or treaters, to the ominous clouds and stars. 

It makes a great use of those great elements from papers and lets them stand on their own as embellishments. 

I added some of the distress stickles on the roof of the house. I love the subtle texture it adds.

Hello everyone! :)

Kimberly here as Guest Designer for October's kit, to share with you all what I have done this week. It's a great honor to be here this month. Noel Mignon's kits have always been a favorite of mine, and I was completely elated to be asked to design with her kits this month. Thank you!

This kit is so FULL of incredible products and embellishments, I LOVE it all! :) I love all the rich colors in this kit. Perfect for Fall photographs, which are my personal favorites.

I created this layout based on a sketch from Got Sketch Express 2 class.

Here are a couple of close up's of the inked edges I did to enhance the richness through out this layout.

This kit is still available tooooooooo! If you'd like to get your hands on this AWESOME kit, click here...and enjoy the goodness for yourself! :)

Thank you for stopping by...and I will see you here next Friday with another layout to share with you all. Have a great weekend! :)

Blessings,
