Woo Hoo, Witchy Woman...

...See how high she flies.

Susan chose the witch from Happy Hauntings for this weeks challenge at BBTB2.
I love all things Halloween, so I really enjoyed this weeks cut.
Now normally, I'm an angel (cough cough), but I broke out my alter ego for this project :-)
Come join us this week with your witchy creation!

PP - BG Eerie, and BG Crude
Letters - My Little Shoebox
Charm - Frost Creek
Witch cut at 2.75"

How Corny!

That's me, corny. Especially with my blog post titles ;-)
Jeri picked the challenge at BBTB2 this week, and she picked any 3-D box from Tags, Bags, and Boxes. I used the cake slice box, but since the cooler weather has me in a fall frame of mind, I turned it into a giant candy corn. Come join the challenge this week, we love seeing your work.

The Halloween spirit is alive and well in my house.

As I've said before, I just love Halloween. And I love decorating for Halloween. Our challenge at BBTB2 this week was to use the banner from the Country Life cartridge. I thought it would make the perfect finishing touch to my spooky mantle decorations.

Banner - Country Life cart
Letters - Happy Hauntings cart
Spiders - Lyrical Letters cart
Spider web embossing folder - Cuttlebug
Glitter - Doodlebug

I also made these fun picture frames to add to the decor:

All cuts are from the Happy Hauntings cart

Enter....if you dare.

This week at BBTB2, Susan picked the haunted house from the Happy Hauntings cartridge. This was a project and a half for me. I don't do well with tedious tasks, so it actually took me over 4 hours to make my haunted house. I do love how it turned out though. One word of advice if you are going to make your own house, glue the window panes in first. The book shows you gluing them in after you fold your pieces into the shapes. That would just be a hassle. Glue them in before you fold your shapes and the process will go much smoother.

Boo!

I'm definitely getting into the Halloween mood! It's my favorite time of year and my favorite holiday, so when I got the Happy Hauntings cartridge, I couldn't wait to start playing. The design team at BBTB2 was challenged to use the candle from the October 31st cartridge. I don't have that cart, so I used the creepy candle from the Happy Hauntings cartridge.



I also have a fondness for vintage images. I have a great collection of them, but for some reason, I rarely use them. I decided to tap into my collection for this next card. As you can see, I used the same frame as the card above, but it's obviously wider. I used Design Studio to widen it so it would fit around my image.

All cuts - Happy Hauntings cart
Patterned paper - Basic Grey Eerie

Two new layouts

I haven't had the opportunity to do a lot of scrapping for myself, with no DT stipulations, so it felt good to just do whatever I wanted on these layouts. :-)

Strawberries are actually the apple from the Locker Talk cartridge that I modified to look more like a strawberry.

Papers and stickers are BG Eerie.

The spider on the lower left is cut from the Lyrical Letters cartridge.

Three more new projects (and more Halloween, as promised!)

I decided to use up some scraps and break out my circle punch that has been collecting dust, and this is what I came up with:

And, in my last post, I said there would be more Halloween projects coming soon, so here they are! The first is a layout using pictures from last Halloween (yes, I'm that far behind and then some!). The second is a great little card that I think would be perfect as an invitation for a Halloween party. I used the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder, and that magnificent chandelier is from the Cricut Home Decor cartridge.

A layout AND a card!

I haven't had a lot of time to scrap for myself lately, but I did manage to create a layout and a card over the past week.

The layout was inspired by a sketch at PageMaps. (they always have the best sketches!)

I have been hanging on to that apple cut cardstock for quite a while now, so it felt good to actually use it, instead of just looking at it!

The card is for a halloween challenge on another site. In my feeble attempt to become a more frugal scrapper, I made this card entirely out of scraps.

Halloween is my favorite holiday, so be on the lookout for some more spooky creations in the coming weeks!
