In the Bag!

I recently tried something new! I layed out 4 different pieces of art in Adobe Illustrator using files from SVG Cuts. I added some patterns within Illustrator. I then flipped them horizontally and printed out on Avery Brand Transfer Paper. (Tried the Up and Up (Target) brand but that did not work out for me)

I then trimmed about 1/4" around the edges and followed the directions on the transfer paper.

Here is what I came up with!

Most of the art I used is from the Acorn Autumn SVG Kit.

The Happy Thanksgiving title is a freebie from 10/13/12.

Happy Bday is a freebie from 9/17/12.

I added some ric rac and flair from Paper Play Studios.

Again fabulous flair is from Paper Play Sudios.

These are all ready to fill with goodies. Tamara from Happy Life Crafty Wife sent me the great canvas bags - 

they are from State Line Bag Company. Thanks Tamara!

I am going to enter these in the Anything But A Card Challenge. Check out their great DT Projects.

Gotta love the Christmas Home Decor from the latest Home For The Holidays SVG Kit.

I am loving the Family Tree in the shadowbox ~ Can't wait to make it! 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Tag You’re It!

I recently found a great FB Page that called Crafty Swaps and Challenges. Who doesn’t like a good swap and challenge? I decided to join in the Christmas Tag swap. Here is the tag I created. I made 6 total and sent to the host's address along with a self-addressed envelope. She will then gather them up and send them all out. Can't wait for that mail day!

I used the cute store front from SVG Cuts Christmas Cheer SVG Kit. The little poinsettas are stampables and I used the Punkin Patch Stamps Gingerbread Kisses. Just cut them on my Sizzix Eclips and then stamped away.

I finished these up at a crop I attended over the weekend. It is called Crop Around the Clock - 139 people all scrapping at the same time. It runs from Friday noon to Sunday at 6pm! I cropped Friday and Saturday and got alot of pages and projects completed.  Can’t wait to share with you.

Turkey Day Card

Wow - it has been awhile since I posted. I've been on the go lately with Halloween, Soccer and the usual stuff. We had Hurricane Sandy come thru and thankfully we did not have any damage. I have family and many colleagues in New Jersey and New York who were not so lucky. Prayers going out to everyone.

This week I was pumped when I saw Mary's latest collection ~ Thankful Cuties and I created this card. I am not much of a card maker but with Mary’s inspiration and a sketch I saw earlier in the day I decided to give it a go.

The papers are from DCWV (Autumn Melody Stack) 

and that is where I am going to play along with their sketch challenge this month. 

Stamp is from Punkin’ Patch Stamps ~ Harvest Gathering

Twine is from Trendy Twine, my new favorite twine. 

Here is a look at the entire SVG Cuts Collection ~ Thankful Cuties.

So much to be thankful for! Have a good weekend.

Witches Hats

Wow! Did I have fun with these witches hats. As I was playing with my new Epson 1430 printer I thought wonder what it would look like if I put a gray piece of cardstock in the printer when printing out my digital paper. I totally loved the look it gave it - almost a sort of vintage look.

This first one is entitled Carpe Nocterm.

Thought I'd show you how different it looks printing on the gray vs the white paper.

I love the look of the gray paper.

Here is a look at the top off the base - plenty of room for treats!

So that wraps up my Halloween Treats! What will be next? Maybe some Thanksgiving and then on to Christmas.

Halloween Treats

Halloween is right around the corner. Do you have your treats done yet? Well I do - as of a today! I wanted to do something easy since I had to make 22 of them.

I used the Cracker SVG file from Gingerbread Chalet Village SVG Kit. It is a small file but I even made it a little bit smaller so I could 4 on a 12x12 mat. (Size was 5.291" wide x 5.776" high)

For this first batch I used DCWV papers from their Midnight Spell Stack (from 2011). I finished them all off with some ribbon and some new Trendy Twine I just picked up.

For this second batch I printing my own paper using the Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor digi kit. I picked it up on JessicaSprague.com - for $1! I recently purchased the Epson 1430 and this my first try on printing my own paper and I love it.

For the tags I used elements from Echo Park Chillingsworth Manor Element Pack 1 digi kit plus I added some of my own text within the ecal program. I did the print and cut feature on my computer and Sizzix eclips. Have to say it worked perfect. I even cut out the hole to insert the twine so it was super easy.

Wondering what I put in my cracker? - here is what fit: a bit of candy, an eraser, a few spiders (all from Target) and I attached some eyeball rings to the outside. I picked those up at Joanns. 

So there you have it! Get going on those treats for the kids.
