BOO!!

Did "eye" scare you??!
:)
Just wanted to wish you a very happy Halloween!

I made both this tag and card with scraps of paper and a sticker from the Study Hall kit and characters from the "Too Cute to Spook" line from Bella Blvd.


Have a great day!!
Be safe!
And don't eat all your candy at once!

Gettin' Sketchy with Gretchen's sketch!




I've known my friend Gretchen for quite some time, and one of the (many) things she's wonderful at is creating a great design, so I was so excited for her to create our sketch this week for our challenge! 


I used the great "Something Wicked" kit for this layout and it just fell together. 




Please make sure to join in on our sketch challenge!

Lift Challenges are ALWAYS so inspiring!




Hello everyone!
It's been such an honored to be joining you all this month as a Guest Designer! Thank you for all the sweet comments and support you have shown me! :)

I wanted to share with you all this fun challenge that Noel put up for us to do.
She picked this FABULOUS layout by Erin Stewart for us to all lift. Perfect for this "Something Wicked" kit...and isn't this baby just tooooo cute?


Here is what I was inspired to create from Erin's layout.
I LOVE how it turned out!
Making this title was a bit of a challenge, but fun too!


Thank you all so much again for having me join the fun here with the blog and MB for the month. I enjoyed it very much, and plan on sticking around. I love all the friendly people on the boards.

Tricks or Treats This Way

This week I have a Halloween layout to share using the "Something Wicked" kit and a great sketch by Gretchen on the challenge blog. We got the girls some super cute Halloween pajamas this year and I just can't resist a pajama photo shoot especially when they are cooperating so well! The ribbon and bow on the left of the photo is actually a piece of cheesecloth that I cut up and distressed with black ink.


I dug into my Halloween kit from last year too and cut up a mini Jenni Bowlin bingo card. The leaf punch is by Martha Stewart. 



Also, please check out the tips and techniques blog this week for all the details on these cute footprint ghosts I made with the girls and a spooky frame to complete the look.


See you next week!

Down the Rabbit Hole

Happy Wednesday everyone! It's only 5 more days until our little ghosts and goblins get to wonder the streets in search for candy. Today I am going to share with you how I interpreted the sketch for this week's sketch challenge.


I kept the basic design of the sketch but instead of keeping my pictures in a row on the bottom, I bunched mine on the right side. The stars in the sketch are the flowers and circles in my layout. What I love about sketches, is that you can interpret them how every you like. For me, my layouts hardly ever look exactly like the sketch. I have a habit of throwing a little curve in my design to fit my style.


So don't worry about whether or not you are following the sketch exactly. Let your creativity flow and see what happens. Now stop hesitating and come join us in the sketch challenge.

Happy creating!
-Diana
