Kitty Bee Designs - Owl Witch Halloween Card!

Hello! We are counting down to Halloween at my house, and I have a cute little card to share with you today using Kitty Bee Designs Owl Witch digital stamp! I used some Prismacolor and Hobby Colour Markers, both alcohol based, to colour this sweetie up after printing her on white cardstock. I love adding gel pen details - white on the body and blue on the hat.

I embossed the background with a Tim Holtz embossing folder that resembles shattered ice, but I felt like with the owl sitting in the middle, on top of the 'tree branch' sentiment - it kind of looked like a spooky tree in the background! I stamped the sentiment with a Tim Holtz crazy sentiment stamp and added clear round enamel dots and SpiegelMom Scrap star sequins.

Inside, I stamped a Tim Holtz Halloween stamp with blue Distress Oxide Ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you have an awesome week, and be sure to check out the Kitty Bee Designs Blog and Shop for so much more inspiration!

Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge - Halloween Fun!

Hello! I'm back with my fourth layout as a Guest Designer for the awesome Lasting Memories Challenge Blog, and this week our theme is Halloween! I love celebrating Halloween - our house is decorated, but not scary! I've made lots of cards, crafts and scrapbook pages - so today I'm sharing a layout about last year's Halloween school dance. We all dressed up and had an awesome time. I recently picked up the Simple Stories Vintage Halloween paper pack, ephemera and chipboard stickers, and they were perfect to use for this page!

The printed background paper was so fun and had great splatters and layers already on it. I cut some of the other papers in the pack to layer around my photo and on the edge of the page. The Scary Sweet sentiment from the Ephemera Pack was perfect to use as a title since I think we were a mix of that!

I layered fun chipboard stickers and sequins from my stash to add even more texture. 

I had so much fun creating this layout! Almost as much as I had at the party, lol 😉 Be sure to head over to the Lasting Memories Challenge Blog to see what all the other Designers have come up with for this challenge - and enter your own Halloween Layout. There are four weeks of challenges you can see on the sidebar and you have until October 27th to enter all or some of them. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew Challenge - Think Pink!

Hello! I sure hope you've had an awesome week 💗 Mine was great, but flew by so fast! Today I'm sharing a pretty gift bag for my daughter's teacher. Her birthday was today and Amie, who is 11, just adores her.  She's had an amazing school year so far - isn't that awesome when that happens?!! Amie even went in early with some class mates to decorate the classroom and the teacher was so surprised and thought it was very sweet. This gift bag goes along with our Pink Theme for our Crew Challenge this month on the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Studio blog in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.

I fussy cut a lovely tea pot from the printed Bags and Beans Canvas sheet and painted it with the Tattered Angels Mists. I then added some French knot embroidery stitches and glued it down with tacky glue. I used the Tattered Angels Mists on a piece of plastic packaging to add a ‘smooshed’ effect to the canvas bag as well as the Happy Birthday tag and then used the Mists again to colour the seam binding ribbon to match.

I was able to stamp directly onto the white paper mini bag using Archival ink and a fabulous coffee stamp from Emerald Creek Craft Supplies, designed by Pam Bray. I then used the Tattered Angels Mists and paints to add colour to the image. The bag is the perfect size to slip a gift card into.

I tucked the decorated mini bag into the tiny tote and added a happy birthday tag for a very special gift card presentation. A few sparkly SpiegelMom Scraps sequins and a pretty pink handmade flower from Little Birdie Crafts finish it off.

$25 Virtual Wallet!!!!

If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images. If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!

For this week's challenge I'm using some fun halloween files from the Printable Cuttable Creatables website - Halloween Witch Cauldron, Monster Mash & Tentacle Monster, along with the Mini Monster Cricut Cartridge to make a fun and not too spooky Halloween card!

I thought I'd make a little monster soup by tucking these cute monsters into the cauldron. They don't look too upset about it 😉

I couldn't resist adding googly eyes to this glitter covered spider! I layered the diecuts over a background of smooshed inks using Tattered Angels Lime Green and Iris Mists. Then, I added some pretty SpiegelMom Scraps Sequins (don't forget to use the code KARLA15 at the SMS shop for 15% off!)

Lasting Memories - It's All About The Pink Layout!

Hello! I'm so excited to be joining the Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge Blog as a Guest Designer for another challenge week! This month the theme is Fall Events, and since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this week our challenge is to create a layout about breast cancer or create a monochromatic pink layout. I am so fortunate that I don't have someone who has suffered from breast cancer in my immediate family, so I decided to create a pink layout in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. These photos are from when my youngest daughter, Erica, now 6, was born and her two older sisters came to meet her! I combined two different pink papers, using the fronts and the backsides and then layered the base on a pink watercolour background. 

I decided to use the October Sketchy Challenge from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine and really love how easy it is to create with this sketch! I used some Tattered Angels Light Pink High Impact Paint to paint my cute wood veneer bird embellishment and then sponged pink Distress Ink around the edge. I even used the same pink ink to add a date stamp.

I grabbed a few pink embellishments from my stash and layered them, along with some pretty SpiegelMom Scraps pink sequins. (PS Use the code KARLA15 to save 15% off in the SMS Shop!)

I added a few more embellishments along with bottom of the photos and layered them over a journaling card from a cut apart sheet. You can see the Tattered Angels Tutti Frutti Glimmer Mist I smooshed onto the white cardstock background peeking out from behind the embellishments.

Project Life Thanksgiving Layout & Winner!

Hello friends! It's been a busy, but awesome weekend, so I thought I'd share a couple pics of our Thanksgiving dinner here in Canada using the Project Life App on my phone. The app is actually free now, which is amazing! I love using it for a photo collage and to get a quick digital layout done that I may want to share online. I think putting these into a printable photo book would be a great idea too!

We had an awesome turkey dinner and even tried a couple new sides, which turned out great! And, of course, the best part was being with family and friends!

Now, for the winner of the Canvas Corp Brands Fall Blog Hop of an envelope of Happy Mail...

Lasting Memories - Blessed & So Grateful Thanksgiving Layout!

Hello! I'm so excited to be joining the Lasting Memories Scrapbook Challenge Blog as a Guest Designer for another challenge week! This month the theme is Fall Celebrations, and this week our challenge is to create a layout about Thanksgiving or something that you are thankful for. Since today is the Sunday before Thanksgiving in Canada I thought I'd do a double page layout using photos from last year's celebration!

I'm using paper from a Recollections fall paper pad, which has some lovely gold foil elements in it and a watercolor look. This coordinated nicely with the watercolor florals in the Pink and Cream Bouquet Ephemera from Cheeky Studios and the AC gold word thickers. 

I added a bit more sparkle with some SpiegelMom Scraps sequins (don't forget to use the code KARLA15 to save 15% at the SMS Shop!) I like using Ranger Multi Medium, which dries clear, to apply the sequins.

I used sentiments from the Tim Holtz Chit Chat Occasions sticker booklet in both black and white around my pages.

This pretty chipboard flower sticker and the ampersand from one of Paige Evan's collections also have gold foil on them and coordinate nicely. I based my layouts on a double page sketch from a Use Your Own Paper class from Scrapbookin' Adventures. 

We always do a table selfie at big dinners!

I was able to size some of my photos at 3x4 and add the journaling in the Project Life app on my phone. It is free now and is such a wonderful way to create photo collages before you print. This way I was able to get extra pics on my pages! I also always edit my photos with Pic Tap Go, which is well worth the money, and can be used within the PL app!
