Halloween Blog Hop

Happy Saturday! 

Welcome to the Halloween Blog Hop!

If you have arrived from Kristal's blog, then you are on the right track. If you would like to start at the beginning, click here.


I created a Halloween themed rosette wall hanging. 

I created the scalloped circle and the circle the witch is on, in Make-the-cut. I hand made the rosette, here is a tutorial in-case you aren't sure how to make one. The witch is from A Child's Year Cricut cart.

The papers are from We Are Memory Keepers and the witch is black card stock from Mike's. I used 6" black tulle to hang it with.

I ran the witch through my Xyron machine and then sprinkled black Martha Stewart glitter on top of the adhesive, to make her sparkle.


The measurements are:
Scallop circle: 9"
Rosette: 8"
Center circle: 5 1/4"
Witch: 4"


I am working on a video tutorial. As soon as it is finished I will get it posted right here.

Did someone mention blog candy????

Happy Thursday!

I have another fun card for you today, made with Peachy Keen Stamps new PK-150 Accessories ONE Assortment.  I am having so much fun with this set!

The papers are from Papertrey Ink, Echo Park, and Core-dinations.

The card was made with a tag from A Child's Year cart. I welded two of them together to form the base. The little girl was cut from the Baby Steps cart. (My new favorite cart.)

This sentiment is from one of my favorite sets, Turn that frown upside down.

The twine is from TheTwinery.

I used the Wide Eyed Kids assortment for her face and the the PK-150 Accessories ONE Assortment , for her glasses. I tried using Glossy Accents instead of Diamond Glaze, just to see the difference. The Glossy accents cracked in a couple places and yellowed a bit. :( I normally really like Glossy accents but I think I am going to stick with Diamond Glaze, when I do glasses from now on.

I will announcing my blog hop winners, from last weekend, in tomorrow's post.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Do People Still Wear Top Hats?

Happy Wednesday!

Here we are again half-way through the week. I have a super quick post for you today.

I haven't made to many St. Patty's Day cards, I had this one designed on my Gypsy and I decided I probably should cut it out before the holiday passed me by.

The hat is from A Child's Year cart. I welded two of them together on my Gypsy to form the base of the card.

I cut it out of Bazzil card stock. I cut two layers of the band and the shamrock to add a bit of
dimension. 
 

See you back here tomorrow, it's a all new Joyslife.com design team Thursday. I can't wait to show you what I made for St. Patty's Day!

I hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

A Reindeer and Blog Hop Giveaways!

Happy Sunday!

I hope your weekend has been a success! Only 5 more days until Christmas, are you ready?

 I have gotten somethings finished up, but still have quite a bit to do. Oh well, it is what it is, right?

So I took some time yesterday to spend with my bestie. We went shopping for a a couple hours and then did a little crafting. 

This is the card I made. 

  The reindeer is from Jolly Holiday's. He was cut at 4". The scalloped frame behind him is a tag from A Child's Year cart. I sized it on my Gypsy so that I would still have about 3/8" all the way around the card.

The paper is DCWV and Jilliebean Soup's Christmas Collection. The stamp is from here and the ribbon is from Michael's. 

I have been having a lot of fun making Christmas cards this year. I am a little sad that I only have 5 more days to make them.
