Happy Howl-o-ween!

A few weeks ago, I posted a scrapbook layout for Halloween.  I thought I would show the final layout with the picture.

Barkley was a good boy and patiently sat while I took a few pics.  Then the costume had to come off!

A really easy project is to make a decorated sleeve for things like candy and popcorn.  It takes a normal item and ups the fun factor!

My mom put together twenty gift bags for local hospice patients and I made the tags.

All items are A Muse.  Send me an email (angiegypsy at comcast dot net) if you want the details!

Also, I was able to take the intermediate Copic certfication on Saturday and learn from the incredibly talented Colleen Schaan and Maryann Walker!  I’ve never colored so much in one day, but I learned so much!  Contact me if you want to learn more about Copics.

Have a safe Halloween!

October Studio Spotlight

World Card Making Day Blog Hop

Isn’t this day better than Christmas?  Well, maybe I get a little carried away, but how amazing is it that all over the world there are people with a love of handmade cards!

My photography skills are not the best so the sentiments are a little hard to read from the bad lighting.  The sentiment on the card is boo to you and on the tag it says happy haunting.

All items A Muse.

• Stamps: Too Cute To Spook
• Cardstock: Wasabi, Onyx, Pumpkin, Vanilla, Slate Woodgrain & Sleepy Hollow.
• Ink: Onyx & Wasabi
• Felt: Slate
• Embellishments: Onyx & White Bakers Twine
• Dies: Spooky Fence, Classic Tags Set & Bat Trio Set

Just like the world goes round so does this blog hop, next stop is Lisa Chapman’s blog.

I thought I’d throw in a little blog candy to go with the Halloween theme.  Post a pic of a card you have made for World Card Making Day (with a way to contact you) by midnight October 3rd.  I’ll use the random number generator to determine the lucky winner.  The candy is an A Muse web die!  US residents only please.

A|S September Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the last stop on the blog hop!  You should have come from Lianna’s blog at http://llamatales.blogspot.com/

If  not, you can go to the start of the hop at the Studio Stampers blog at http://www.studiostampers.com

I really like the typewriter image and the fun phrases in Just My Type.  I’ve made six or seven cards with this set already and my other stamps might be getting neglected.

On this card, I decided to emboss the image in white on the onyx cardstock.  I used an Exacto knife to cut a slit for the paper to come out of the typewriter.  Sky ink was applied to the edges of the school lined paper to add some contrast along with the cherry ribbon.

All items are from A|S, available in my store, except the Fiskars notebook border punch.

Cardstock: kraft, sugar, and school lined
Ink: onyx, sky, and Versamark
Ribbon: cherry stitched grosgrain and onyx bakers twine
Embossing Powder: white

 

Here’s the full line up of the blog hop.
