The theme is "Halloween" and just in time to get ready for all the trick or treaters! I would like to share with you my project today.... a spooky Haunted House Easel card.

The stamp I used is from the Craftin Desert Diva's Frightfully Cute set. The card base is an SVG from My Scrap Chick. I used various papers and scraps from my stash. 

The vellum ghosts are a cut from the Too Cute By Jessica Boo Ghost freebie SVG. I used sharpies to draw in the little faces. I colored the bats with my Wink of Stella pen. The velvet spider is a sticker from my stash. I added a pathway and ran it though my Cuttlebug along with the sentiment shadow cut.

Lady and the Tramp Anniversary Card

Hello my crafty friends and Happy Thursday to you! For today's project I have a card I made for my sweet husband. On August 1st we celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary! My how time just flies. It seems like yesterday that we were starving students building a dream. We were both in college, me finishing my undergrad degree and he in his 2nd year at UC Davis Veterinary School of Medicine.  Our wedding theme as unusual as it may seem was Lady & the Tramp. We had a very unconventional wedding. It was outside in beautiful Malibu, California, on my cousin's ranch. My dog even walked with me up the aisle, lol (it was not planned, it just happened).  And now 16 wonderful years later, some things haven't changed... we are happy and blessed and I still have a sheltie at my heels :)

Here is my card...

I got this svg from SVG Cutting Files "Couples Blog Hop". It was my first blog hop and I was blown away with how amazing these SVG's that Ann makes are. Those ladies on the DT are amazing and in a class all their own when it comes to crafting. Needless to say I knew I would be using this particular cut! 

Now, keep in mind I am pretty new to the SVG world and I still cut them on my Cricut with the SCAL2. This SVG was very challenging for me but I think I pulled it off! I fussed with it a lot to get it the way I wanted and even added a few layers that were not in the original SVG. I used Valentine patterned card stock  from Recollections to really play on the "love" theme. The hearts and sentiment layers were cut from my Art Philosophy Cartridge. I used a few sentiment stamps and wrote the Lady and the Tramp by hand. I wish I had nicer writing!! The stamps are from Craftin Desert Divas, Docerela Stamps and My Pink Stamper. Of course, I needed to add some bling so I used some red heart shaped rhinestones.

My hubbie loved his card and we had a wonderful Anniversary weekend away in Las Vegas! Here are a few pics from our wedding. My sister decorated these figurines for our cake. I keep them in my curio.

My Sheltie Sunny was next to us as we said our vows!

Teapot from Pagoda

Hello there! Today I have a simple card that I made with my mom. She is very crafty with sewing and ceramics and wanted to learn papercrafting to make a card for a coworker.  She wanted to give the Cricut and Cuttlebug a try and this is what we came up with. 

First we needed a teapot. My mom works at a Japanese restaurant and so we picked this pot from the Cricut Pagoda cartridge. She wanted a floral design so she chose this paper from my hoards. I fussy cut around the lid to give the different layers look.  

We chose the flower cuttlebug folder that came with my machine.  I showed her how do some inking for dimension.  She chose the sentiments from My Pink Stamper and we added a little ribbon.  To show her variation I taught her how to do an easle card

I cut out the inside layer and sentiment tag from my ever favorite Elegant Edges and added a fabric flower with rhinestone on the inside. We had a lot of fun crafting together and she really wants to play more in my craftroom! Maybe next week we'll do another project together.

We will participate in the following challenges:
