Scrap Shotz October Reveal

It is reveal time over at Scrap Shotz.  They have started up the kit program again and this month we got to play with the Fancy Pants Happy Together package, how fun.  I am so excited too because I have been asked to stay on the DT for another 6 months! Yippee!

I had a lot of fun with this layout.  First of all, my challenge this month is to include paper pleating on a project, so I did that, love paper pleating.  I also played with the new Glimmer Glam that came in the kit.  I used it to edge the corrugated die cuts and to splatter on my page.  Too fun!  These layouts all fit The Pink Elephant challenge for this week too.

For the next layout we were asked to create something based on this sketch:

This one also fits the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge - sewing.  I used my Cricut Life's a Beach for the Waves, Indie Art for the butterflies, Plantin Schoolbook for the Circles and Going Places for the Clouds.  It is also for the Practical Scrappers challenge - Stamps.
One of the sketches from Creative Scrappers:

For this layout I fussy cut the flowers from one of the pattern papers.

Now some cards.  For this one I used my new Baby Button Bits from PTI.


I used this sketch from the SRM blog.
I used my New Addition Cricut Cartridge along with the Scrap-Mart Exclusive Cloud die from Spellbinders.


And finally I thought these papers would make a cute tag.  I used the new Spellbinders Nested Mittens to make a tag.  I thought this would be good for a coffee/ hot chocolate gift bag.  I also spritzed the bag with some Glimmer Mist.  This is for the Raise the Bar challenge - Bundle Up.


Halloween Favors

Second post for today, be sure to scroll for the Shirley's 2 Girls post.

Another post for Lindsay's Stamp Stuff:

I was inspired by this little guy for the Etsy Inspired challenge:

And I used the Halloween Favors template to make some goodie boxes for my kids at Halloween.  Jaimee will get the Pink Paislee one (black) which is filled with chocolates and a Starbucks card.  Danica gets the Bo Bunny one filled with chocolates and a Movie Mania card.  I also used the Vintage Halloween set for the images.  This is another entry into the JUGS challenge the My Grafico challenge - anything but a card Halloween; the Bugaboo challenge - Halloween 3D; the Julie E challenge - 3D.

Prrr-fect

Twisted Thursday time again.  This is the final week for Shirley's 2 Girls Crittertime challenges.... hmmm I wonder what next month will be? hehehe


I used the Cupcake Box from The Cutting Cafe, such a perfect size little box for so many things.  I made this for Danica to hold her cat treats in.  Funny thing is the twist this Thursday for S2G is to use the color orange and purple - I totally forgot about the twist when I made this.  Luckily the base is orange and for some reason I colored the hearts purple! LOL.  This image is called Purrr-fect, and it is definitely perfect for Danica who absolutely adores her kitty (and the kitty adores her).  This is also for the Paper Cutz Challenge - critter, the Bee Crafty challenge - furry and the JUGS challenge - template.  The paper is Bo Bunny and the image is colored with copics.

True Friend

I wanted to play with some PTI stamps again so I dug them and some fall colors out.  This is for the Creative Card Crew challenge and If the Shoe Fits- flowers; Practical Scrappers - stamping; Passion for PTI - square.

Time for another Scrap Tiffany challenge.  This week we were to use scraps which was perfect for this sketch from Sasya's sketches:
It gave me a good excuse to dig out my October Afternoon Thrift Shop papers.  I don't know why but I always have a hard time photographing Kraft cards.

Time for another challenge from Wee Memories and this week is CAS and/or a tag.  We are sponsored by Simon Says.

Definitely a CAS card!  I used my new Stamp Set from Alli Miles!  it is called Take Three: Fall.  I did do a couple of score lines at the top of the card.  This is also for the Caardvarks challenge - CAS; the 4 Crafty Chicks challenge - Fall  and the Stamp Something - Fall Colors.  I was inspired by this card on Susan's blog.


Now this week we are doing a blog hop so if you came from Michele's blog you are on the right track if not be sure to start at the Wee Memories blog for the beginning.
