Scrapbook Steals Blog Hop

You don't know how excited I am about being chosen to be apart of Scrapbook Steals Blog Hop!  I love a good steal and Scrapbook Steals has the best scrapbooking supplies and they are all "must haves"! 

For our projects we were given these 7 Gypsies Vintage  atc's to work with.

Here's what I came up with

In the Box of Scrap that I got last month from Scrapbook steals there was this black board Album from Cosmo Cricket.  When I saw the edges of the album I couldn't help but think It looked like spider legs. LOL.  So why not use it for a mini Halloween album.  The 7gypsies atc's worked perfectly with the Authentique  Glowing collection, which I also received in the Box of Scrap. Thankyou Scrapbook Steals :)  Can you find where all the atc's are?

This Beware page is one of my favorites in the album. It opens up by untying the orange twine.

This is the inside

There's a hidden tag that pulls out too.

I had so much fun making this mini album. Thanks for looking :)

So..... I'm a little late getting this up, but here's my card for Challenge #199.

And, Here's the sketch

Come check out the rest of the wonderful cards from the Unscripted DT and if you get a chance we'd love to see what you do with the sketch :)

Unscripted Sketches #198

 Welcome to Sketch it Saturdays at Unscripted Sketches! If you are just finding Unscripted Sketches, every Saturday morning we post a sketch for the week. Flip the sketch, rotate it… create a card, a scrapbook page, or anything your imagination comes up with! There is no right or wrong way, as long as you are using the Unscripted Sketch as the inspiration and basis of your creation

 

 Here's My card 

Christmas Card Challenges #6

Our challenge this week is Rip It, Sand It, Tear It. Please keep in mind that all challenges are optional. The only real rule is that you must create a new Christmas Holiday, Winter or Hanukkah card. Also, it is not necessary to use a SCRS stamp on your card, but we sure love it when you do!  Since it's the first challenge of the month, that means we have an adorable SCRS stamp up for grabs.

 Here's my card

Unscripted Sketches #178

Well I can't believe we are at the end of September.  Where does the time go?  I was excited to do our sketch at Unscripted Sketches this week.  I knew it would be perfect for a Halloween Witch portrait. Isn't she just lovely? LOL. Come join us and see all the wonderful cards the DT had made.

Inspired By Summer Distress

The challenge at Simon Says Stamp &Show is: Inspired by summer distress.(Tim Holtz distress trio  Mowed Lawn, Picked Raspberry, and Salty Ocean). Here is the card I made.

Get crafty with canvas

The challenge over at  Frilly and Funkie  is to use canvas on your project.  I love the look that canvas gives. I had just made a Christmas card with it so I thought I'd make another card for this challenge. 

Once again I embossed the canvas and rubbed ink on the raised parts. This is one of my favorite techniques. I will for sure be using it again and again.

I am also entering my card here:

Distressed Birthday Card And A Winner

Before I get to my card, I wanted to thank everyone who participated in the Card Cupids Blog Hop. The winner of the 2 digi stamps is : Jessie. 

 Congrats :)  please email info@cardcupids.org to receive the free digital stamps.

  Now for my card. The challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show is;  Depth of Distress To make a distressed look on this card, I took several different colors of stamp pads and lightly went over the background paper. I love how it picks up the texture in the paper.
