I Have A Little Treat to Share

I made some fun little gifts for my friends this past weekend. I started with

I did a search on-line for making my own chalkboard paint- I found a fun tutorial to make similar gifts.

This summer when I was at CHA I found these acrylic Bats from Clear Scraps- so I finally got to use them. All the bats were put through my Big Shot with an embossing folder with BLACK paint- the folder is from Tim Holtz.

The extra stickers and embellishments are from K & Co.

Quick Ideas For Halloween Cards

 Just wanted to share a few of my quick designs I made this year.

 Most of these images were freebies I found on-line

Now you know I did fussy cutting and pop dotting. I used all sorts of goodies from my Halloween supplies.
Hope I shared some inspiration.
Did you make my card yet?    Shameful isn't it? I really didn't do as many cards as I usually do this year.
Thanks for stopping

Halloween Orange Mini Album

I started with TWO 4 x 4 albums from the Creative Cuts and More store.I combined to make a really full project for my daughter.

***This is not an album for a child-It has pictures of my daughter and Daughter-in-law wearing various costumes for Halloween***

The front cover was decorated with a shaker cup adorned with a pumpkin Picture Frame in Tacky Tape.

I used various embellishments and Halloween papers.

I had some glitter chipboard letters to spell out Halloween added on the ends of each page. I staggered the placement on each page.

I used Killer Red Tacky Tape to put this project together

Some more pages

Did you know you can order pages separately from the Creative Cuts and More store?

I used a Witch On Broom small die cut shape.

On a lot of these pages I used various Halloween images that I had colored.

I had some small webs to add on the corners. I chose to tie the album together with ribbons. Did you know you can buy Album Rings from the Creative Cuts and More store.

 Yes, you have made it to the end- the back cover is a fun round stamp I have had in my supplies forever.

This was a great album to play around with,the project will be a gift for my daughter and she can fill it with more photos of her and her friends.
Thanks for stopping in and looking at my album.

Let Me Share My Banner Gift I Made

 This is the whole banner I started with this great freebie from WWW.MOSELLE.COM-happy words triangles.

 Here is a couple close ups of the extra details

another close up with the spider web embossing I did.

I used many scraps of ribbons I had-some of these are from my Really Reasonable Ribbon stash.

 Tim Holtz rosettes the die has two sizes.
