Halloween with Just A Scrappin'

Welcome back friends!!

Hope everyone had a great Halloween yesterday! Halloween is my birthday and I had a lovely day :)

The challenge this week at Just A Scrappin is

HALLOWEEN!!!

Show us what you made yesterday!

Here is a quick and simple card I did

I used a 6x6 paper pad I have. I love those to make cards from since the patterns tend to be smaller than the 12x12 packs. And everything is already coordinated for you!

The stamp is a retired set from Stampin Up! I used Quick Quotes Powder Puff Inks in midnight confession to ink the stamp and the edges of my paper.

The Twinery twine colors are Charcoal and Cappuccino.

The stripe section and the skull section are pop dotted above the rest of the card to add some dimension. I added some stickles (LOVE that stuff!) and I was done!

Hope you like my card and join us this week at Just A Scrappin!

Halloween preview with Quick Quotes

Welcome back for my last guest designer post with Quick Quotes.

When I saw that Quick Quotes was coming out with a Halloween line I crossed my fingers that I would get some to play with and sure enough when I opened my box there it was! Halloween is my birthday so I tend to scrap any birthday pictures on Halloween paper but I did happen to have some costume pictures waiting to be scrapbooked from a couple years back.

I love the great patterns in this line. Even if you are not into Halloween, the pattern paper alone could really be used for any event. But I of course went all out! The black and white polka dot paper is just begging to be inked. I love that you ink it and the white dots really show the colors. I used Midnight Confession, Purple Passion and Limeade.

I love this velum quote as a title. I layered it on some pattern paper. I cut out a piece of the same pattern paper and fussy cut the chevron pattern to help hold the velum quote down without seeing the glue.

Since I was a vampire this Halloween, I had to use this Blood Donors Needed element. One of the sheets from this line has a whole list of cute word-play jokes. I cut out all the vampire ones and made this into a pocket.

I added some twine around the end so they were easier to pull out and see the answer to the joke.

This spider web and 3 spiders (2 here and 1 on the other page shown earlier) are also new from Quick Quotes. I just pulled them out of the package and put them on the page! So easy!

and I just had to use this Candy is Dandy quote. It matches the purple and lime swirl paper around it and just fits me. 

I hope you have enjoyed the projects I have done as much as I enjoyed playing with all their new lines! And I hope I introduced a couple new people to the wonderful world of Quick Quotes!

Eternally Yours

The Paper Players are holding their 100th challenge! Congrats to them!

Their challenge is to use any past challenge!

So I started looking through the challenges to see what inspired me and I found Challenge #19. Use Red, Black and White!

Those just happen to be my favorite colors :)

I started digging and remembered a wonderful DCWV stack called Immortal Love. So I looked up DCWV's card sketch for this month and got started.

I started out thinking I was going to stay pretty true to the sketch, but my doiley was bigger than I thought it was! It was a white doiley that I inked with Quick Quotes Poweder Puff ink in Midnight Confession and Marchino Cherry. The ribbon is from my stash.

The sticker is from Creative Imaginations. It worked so perfectly with the papers! The bling is from Want2Scrap.

I think I will hold onto this to use for my boyfriend the next time he does something nice. Which, knowing him, will be soon :)

Thanks for joining me this week.

Next week I have another card, another layout and my first design team project!

Have a great weekend :)

Disney Circle Challenge

Who doesn't love Disney?!

Still working on the book for my co-worker and she needed a disney page. I was browsing some sketches over at Sketch Savvy and found this perfect sketch that just screamed Disney at me. I wasn't sure exactly what papers or anything I was going to use, so I just added it to my notes to work on later. Then what happened? Over at Crazy 4 Challenges, they announced a circle challenge! Well what is more circles than Mickey? It gave me the motivation to get to the store to get some wonderful Disney paper (from Queen and Company) and work on this layout!

I adore it! I told my co-worker today that I love the pages I have been doing for her so much I wish I was keeping them for myself! LOL For this one, I will say I cut 2 of everything I did so I can re-create it for myself :)

I used my Creative Memories circle cutter and 2 different blades to make the large circles for the big Mickey in the background on page 1.

Here are some detail shots:

Not sure where I found the idea for the button Mickey heads, but it was a wonderful blog somewhere that had a great idea! I can't take credit. I inked all my papers with Quick Quotes Powder Puff Ink in Midnight Confession.

The characters are cut from Mickey and Friends at 2 1/2 inches. So small! But the perfect size for the page.

I love my Twinery Twine! I used Maraschino and Charcoal together and made a bow for the main title to the page. 

I don't remember what paper company all the little titles came from, but it was a full 12x12 sheet that I cut apart and used all over the page.

More Mickey button faces!

I hope you like the page as much as I do:)

Remember to become a follower and leave me comments by tomorrow for extra bonus entries into my giveaway on facebook!

And check out yesterday's post for my First Design Team Announcement and blog candy giveaway!!

I will be back Friday with another layout and the winner of the blog candy :)
