Roxy LO

I went to a couple of crops in October and November and created this LO as a make and take.  I used the Roxy Paper Pack , Instant Memories and Hooray Bouquet Stamp Sets. My colors are Smoothie, Tulip, Desert Sand and Black.  I used my absolutly awesome new Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to cut all of my flowers!  I have 2 different right hand pages.  Either one complements the single focal photo on the left hand page.  The small title is stamp in Tulip first generation and says Picture Perfect.  The splat image is stamped second generation with Tulip ink.  I have added dimention to the flowers by curling the petals up or down and adding Foam Tape to the some of them.  The centers of the flowers, you can find all of them in our Black Mini-Medley Accents Pack.  

October Sell-A-Bration Craft Fair LO kits

Hey Everyone,
I was hoping to post every week.  Well, I geuss that is not going to happen. But, when I post, I post a lot.  Here is what I have been up to in the month of October.  I had a booth in a craft fair and made a bunch of LO created with lots of different Cricut cartridges.  Many images came from Everyday Pop-up Cards cartridge. These were quick pages to make and I made about 6 of each. Over all, the weekend was a bust as far as sales.  Nobody was buying.  I have another small Holiday sale in December.  I hope to have better luck selling items there.

I made both Baby Girl and Baby Boy of each baby LO.  All B&T papers are retired. 

Clip board and flowers, White Wednesday LO, Typeset LO

Here is a clip board using some older CTMH papers.  I used our new Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge to make the flowers.

I made this fun LO with pictures from White Wednesday.  The kids went out at night to toilet paper each others houses.  I used Mischief papers.  I painted the Milepost cardboard shapes with white paint.  I used Dimensional Elements Solos to make my title and wrapped the W with tissue paper so that it would look like toilet paper.

This next LO is using Typeset paper and Vintage Type Stamp set.  I used the wonderful Typeset canvas Complements, ribbon from Wings, cork alphabets and a pin clip.

6x6 Convention Accordion Album

This is a wonderful 6x6 scrapbook we made at convention.  We used 3 of the 6x6 craft cards to create this accordion album.  We used the cork alphabets, Decor Journaling Spots and a stamp set that was a special gift for convention goers.  Hope you get some ideas.

Hope everyone is staying dry.  We are having a down pour right now from Tropical Storm Lee.  Wow.  An inch an hour for sure.  It's a good time to stay in side and blog.  These are 3x3 cards I made at convention using all new product.  Cute, aren't they. Here the are all individually and a little larger.

This is a special LO of my little pumpkins the fall we spent with my mom and step-dad after Katrina. We all worked on these costumes together. The Hershey's Kiss used to be a pumpkin costume that my grandmother Tootsie made when I was a kid. It was in bad shape, so, I took it apart and made the Kiss costume. The kids looked so SWEET! LOL I think I used all but 4 felt Mischief Complements images. A little over the top, but it is fun.

I have hidden journaling under the left side LO.

This is the right side with all the felt images.

Here is a close up of the top left corner of the 8x10 picture. Not only did I use sand paper to distress the edges of my paper layers but I also used sand paper to distress the edges of the photo. I always pull away from the edge so as not to bend the photo. I sanded in one direction at an angle and then sanded across the first direction to form an X texture on the photo. I like to get larger prints made of a few of my better photos. They are just fun to scrap when they are 5x7's or here an 8x10 photo. They are a little more expensive so I only print the really good photos at a larger size. Give it a try.

Another August SOTM standard size card. I stamped the hat twice and cut out just the hat to pop it up. I used the Mischief paper as my card base so I put an insert inside for writting on. I stamped the words "Have a Wicked Halloween" in black in right on the Mischief paper.
