This cute little candy dispenser

was a gift for my son last Halloween.

I saved it with intentions to do something

crafy.  When Jodie released this skelekinz...

it was like she knew exactly what I needed.

I have seen these little dispensers at Michaels too

in case anyone is interested.

So put your thinking caps on and come up with

a 3D Halloween project and enter for a chance to win.

Too cute to spook

Why, yes she is....

too cute to spook.

This little cutie is one in a big set of digi's 

that are for sale now in the store.

I've been checking Target a couple

times weekly for what seems like forever

for some paper packs and FINALLY!!

Score.  You get 6 sheets of paper that are all color

coordinated.  Love it!!!

Doesn't get much easier and it's only $1.00!!!!

THIS IS A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK.

I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE MORE OF THESE!!!

OVER AT CATCH THE BUG 

IS TO CREATE A SCENE.

USE 2 OR MORE DIGIS TOGETHER 

ON A PROJECT.

IN THIS PICTURE BOTH THE FENCE AND 

THE BUGABOO BRAT ARE 

DIFFERENT IMAGES. I USED POP DOTS ON THE 

GIRL TO MAKE IT LOOK 3D.

Prickley Pear Pumpkins

Isn't this fun?

You can find the tutorial here.

I made this with Prickley Pears pumpkin

stamp/die set. I just love it!!

Cut out pumpkin shape and stamp -- perfect!!

The leaves on the border of the card are also

Prickley Pear.

Interesting and easy!!

Rubber stamps: Prickley Pear

Paper: miscellaneous orange and

miscellaneous patterned paper.

Happy Halloween

Well, this is the last of my Halloween cards.

I've had fun making them.

Now, on to Thanksgiving and Christmas.

This is a Bugaboo image.

They are having a design team call right now

so expect to see my application post in the next

few days. I had so much fun being a

Guest Designer for them that I'm going

to give it my best shot to try to land

a Design Team spot this time.

I absolutely adore their images.

As you can see in the label column on the right

side of the blog....I've made several cards

with their images :)

Hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween!!

PPRS "black" cat

I made this card with a

Prickley Pear Rubber Stamp.

An easy technique actually.

I stamped the cat on a piece of patterned paper

with Versamark ink then embossed it with clear

embossing powder. Then I took a sponge

dauber rubbed with black ink and rubbed in

circular motions around and over the stamped

image. After that I rubbed the image itself over

with a paper towel which cleaned it up and buffed it

out a bit making it pop off the paper. Now you

can see the patterned paper design in the background.

So easy!! Then I cut it out with nestabilities die and

finished layering my card. I tied the black ribbon

in a knot and thought, "that looks like a bat" so

there you go.....3 black bats to accent the card.

The "Goulish Greetings" sentiment is PPRS too.

This won't be the last time you see me use this

technique!

Stamps: Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps

Ribbon: Miscellaneous black ribbon

Paper: We R Memory Keepers

Die: Nestabilities

Tiddly Halloween

You can get this little cutie over at

Tiddlyinks.

I've become totally addicted

to my nestabilities.

I love that you can use them like a

stencil for the above look.

So fun!

Happy Trick or Treating!!

GOING BATTY WITH PPRS

This card was so incredibly easy to make.

The bat stamp is a new

Prickley Pear Rubber Stamp

I stamped it on patterned paper that was

in a set from the Target $1 section.

I simply stamped the bat in black over the paper

with words, layered that onto orange

cardstock then placed that on the star

background paper which was layered on top

of the actual orange card.

I cut out the stars using my Cricut.

sponged the sides of everything with

black ink to help soften it.

Tied the ribbon on the top and

Viola - Done!

Rubber Stamp: Prickley Pear

Paper: Scrapbooking Supplies (Target $1 section), The Paper Company

Ribbon: Scrapbooking Supplies (Target $1 section)

Ink: Archival Versafine

PPRS Jack-o-lantern

Have you seen the

Stamp and die sets

from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps??

This jack-o-lantern set is just

ONE example. There are several

others including butterflies :)

this set comes with the leaf that I used on my

card two posts down. There are these 2 faces that

you can put on them and there is two "scene" stamps

you can use as well. You just cut out the pumpkin using

the die on your cuttlebug (or similar tool) then

STAMP IT!!

How easy is that. No tedious cutting with scissors

the time consuming part is done for you with the die.

Stamps: Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps

paper: The Paper Company

Bugaboo new release day

I'm such an airhead. I think the whole "Back to school" craziness
