GOOD MORNING my creative friends & welcome to another "Scrappy Monday"! First of all, I hope you ALL had a FABULOUS weekend! Mine was SUPER FUN but TOO SHORT:(  Well, I am so excited about today's scrappy Monday! Today I had asked my design to create layouts using either their cricut machines OR their silouhette OR cameos! I used my E2 to create mine w/my "Gypsy Girl"! I do have to say that I LOVE how my 8x8 layout turned out~!  You can see in the video below how I designed it & put it together!

Supplies I used:

~ cartridges used - "Happy Haunting" & "Artiste"

~ Frame Die & banner tag is from - MCT "Just Simply Live"

~ sentiments are from - MCT "Mixed Holiday Sentiments" & MCT "All Around Halloween"

~ Black Hemp is from Liz's Paper Loft Boutique

Throwback Thursday Challenge! ~ Episode #258

GOOD MORNING & welcome to another "Throwback Thursday Challenge!"

Here are the details for this challenge:

*** This challenge is to use an older cartridge with a "Card Feature" on it! There are  LOTS of cartridges out there today that have "card features" on them! Here are a "few" examples, Life is a Beach, Stretch your Imagination, A Child's Year, Wrap it up...... ETC..

***Your card MUST BE A HALLOWEEN THEME!!!

*** Link your project up to Mr. Linky, then leave a comment!

Okay, for my card, I used "Wrap it Up" cartridge which has some AWESOME card features on it! The CUTE witch is even in this same cartridge as well! For the sentiment, I used my "All Around Halloween" stamp set and my "Scallop & Stitched Circle Die"! All of the pattern paper & the bling came from my SWEET friend "Miss Veronica"!;) As you can see, I used "Tulle" again!!! I JUST LOVE THAT STUFF!:)

For my inside of the card, the cute spider and sentiment are ALSO from my "All Around Halloween" stamp set!  I also used my "XL Label Die" to write my message!;)

Here is my video on how & what I used to make my card!

Monday Madness.....Imagine That!

Good morning my creative friends & welcome to another "Monday Madness.....Imagine That!"

For my sweet card today, I decided to "experiment" with my XL Label Die today! I wanted to see if I can make a card w/it AND it worked!!!;) For the layer on top, it is a pattern from the Imagine cartridge "Enjoy The Seasons"! I also got to use my newest "Fall Twine" from Trendy Twine! I LOVE IT!;) I also used my "Scallop & Stitched Circle Die" along w/"All Around Halloween" stamp set for the circle sentiment & that CUTE pumpikin!;)

Here is the back of my card! When you make this card w/your XL Label Die, make sure you fold your cardstock first, THEN run it through your cuttlebug/big shot~! I will do a video soon showcasing how this is done! I got to use my CUTE Sept. Bonus Stamp on the back!

Now onto my FABULOUS design team!

Miss Glora is using "Anyday Bingo & Crossword"!

Throwback Thursday "Cricutless Challenge"!

Good morning & welcome to another Throwback Thursday challenge!

Here are the details for this challenge:

*** This is a "CRICUTLESS" Challenge! Meaning, you are not allowed to use your cricuts, imagines, e2's or your gypsy girls! Basically, we are taking it back "Old School"! You are totally allowed to use punches &/or your cuttlebug!

*** Create a CARD using the colors PURPLE, ORANGE, GREEN & BLACK!

*** Link your project up to Mr. Linky, then leave a comment!

*** Deadline for this challenge will be on Wed, Sept 14th!

*** ONE project per person please!

Today, my design team & myself are showcasing one of my FAVORITE sets "All Around Halloween"! I truly love this set especially because I did all the drawings myself & I am VERY proud of them!;) So I decided that we all use this set & also have it as the giveaway!

Okay, here is my card for you today! I had actually made this awhile ago & realized that my card had to also include Green & Purple with the Orange & Black! Since I'm still not feeling "up to par";), I decided to used this card anyway & add purple stickles to my CUTE little spidey & I also added green stickles to the web! If I was feeling 100%, then I could've made the entire card using the "specified" colors!:( So I had to make this work!;) I also used the "Scallop & Stitched Circle Die" that coordinates w/this stamp set!

sideview of my card!
