Halloween Scarecrow!

I don't make a lot of Halloween cards, but I do send a few, which means I need a few! 

Today I used the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches, along with the Autumn/Fall challenge from Inspire.Create.Challenges. I colored this cute little scarecrow to match the plaid DP I could find. (as I was coloring, I remembered that my other plaid stack is with my Christmas DP...)  

Everything I used is from the waayback. 

Supplies:
Stamps: Cookie Cutter Halloween, Good Greetings

Ink: Memento Black, Island Indigo
Stampin' Markers: Smoky Slate, Island Indigo, Lost Lagoon, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Strawberry Slush

Paper: Lost Lagoon & Basic White card stock, Adventure Bound DP

Accessories: Bumblebee 2020-22 In Color Ribbon, Metallic Pearls, Cookie Cutter Punch, Dimensionals 

Autumny Notes

Happy Monday! We had a good weekend reset and we're back to life today! 
I really wanted some cards made so that's what I'm doing today!

First up, this happy autumny card! I used the latest Freshly Made Sketch and the latest from Color Throwdown and I love it! When this set came out, it was one of my very favorites. Turns out, still a favorite! I haven't made anything I haven't liked with this set- it's a keeper!!

Supplies:
Stamps: Sparkly Seasons
Ink: More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Memento Black
Paper: Basic Black, More Mustard & Basic White card stock, Halloween Night DP
Accessories: buttons, Linen Thread, Glue Dots

One Halloween Night

Playing catch up, sharing older Halloween projects I haven't shared before, and here's a page for you! Half the supplies came from Stampin' Up! (some while they were partnered with Becky Higgins' products) but the other half came from a scrapbook store, where this boy bought me scrapping supplies for a Christmas gift! So yes, I'll be using that! 
I think it made for a fun page! 

Supplies:
Paper: Basic Black & Pumpkin Pie card stocks, LSS DP
Accessories: Seasonal Snapshot 2015 SU/Project Life

Pumpkin Juice

Happy October to you! Let the holiday season begin!! Hopefully it will cool all the way down very, very soon! 

Today I have a layout. The first page was a CASE for a challenge. It took some time but it was fun to make! that circle is all stamped! Then I stamped the border of the second page to match. 
The photos are the oldest part of this layout. My husband was making pie with a fresh pumpkin, and let the kids try fresh pumpkin juice- just like Harry Potter drinks! it was not a hit, haha!! 
The pie was much tastier than the juice. I intend to add the pie recipe in the empty rectangle space.

Supplies:

Stamps: Scenic Pumpkin Patch, Seasonal Snapshot 2015, Alphabet Appeal Lower

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Peach Pie, Granny Apple Green, Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie
Paper: Very Vanilla card stock

Accessories: Amber Gems 

Grassy Friendship

Today's card uses the latest challenge from CAS Colours & Sketches. 

I liked these colors together, I just wasn't sure what direction to go in... I recently rearranged some of my craft room and remembered this set. It was a Sale-A-Bration freebie, in 2019. I was surprised I only used it once- I used it to make a card I really like! But here's something new with it! 

I inked up a stamp block to get the strip of blue on there. Then I tore off a corner and threw some Mossy Meadow card stock under it, ha. 

Suppleis:
Stamps: Home To Roost (2019)

Ink: Secret Sea, Pecan Pie

Paper: Basic White, Secret Sea & Mossy Meadow card stocks

Accessories: 2025-27 In Color Pearls 

A girly page

Hello again! 

Here's a page I made a few months ago but haven't shared. As is often the case, everything here is long retired. But still super useful and fun!
I just thought this was funny. I needed my daughter's hair done 'fancy' for portraits and she didn't want it done at all. Then she was thrilled with how it turned out. okay, haha. 

Supplies:

Ink: Soft Suede
Paper: Basic White & Perfect Plum card stock, Soft Suede Paper Patterns DP

Cute Hair

Man! Life!! I tell you what! My daughter has had pretty bad hives for almost a month now, and she had a cold for a few days in the middle of that. I had a solid week of migraines, and still had commitments in there, aside from the normal mom and wife things. Our 26th wedding anniversary came and went while my husband had some pretty awful dental issues going on... Something is going on with my van sliding door making school drop off adventurous. And every Saturday from here to Halloween is packed. And that's just the extra stuff! Needless to say, crafting has taken a back seat to life at the moment. 

But here's a quick page I put together for my youngest. Only the black paper and ink are current, ha. This page was actually for a challenge to use some old accessories you've maybe forgotten about. DONE. 

Supplies:

Stamps: Alphabest

Ink: Memento Black
Paper: Crisp Cantaloupe (long retired), Basic Black card stocks
Accessories: 2013-2015 In Color Sequins, retired Washi Tape, Glue Dots, Take Your Pick Tool

I added some handwritten journaling in the blank spot. She'd been asking for weeks, but decided she wanted her hair cut closer to school starting. She's loving it! 

School Picture

I did finally get a little crafty time this weekend. That was really nice- I haven't made anything with paper for weeks! Hooray for September! Ha!

Today I have a school themed page for you! It's actually part of a double layout, but the second page is her class picture that year, and I'm leaving it off, ha. It's annoying to hide 25 kids and titles and all the things, so here you go.
This scrapping kit is ancient, but I loved it! I can't believe it is from 2007. Everything on this page is ancient, ha. It's good to use your stuff!! I liked More Mustard and I love it with this blue too. 

Supplies: 
Paper: Basic White c/s, Primary Colors SS Kit (2007!) (More Mustard, Brocade Blue)

Accessories: Regals Round Buttons, Glue Dots
