Halloween Night Layout-Pumpkin

Hello! Hello! I have been busy making Halloween layouts and working in my Project Life album. I'm hoping to get caught up with my Project Life album by the end of this week so that I can start making a bunch of Christmas and holiday themed cards. I love Fall, this time of year in general, and the holidays, but it does get stressful since I have a ton of stuff to do. This ends up causing me to have a lot of crafting things to get done. I definitely do not want to have to spend part of 2016 working on holiday stuff from this year. So some deadlines and extra planning will be done today. Now that I have rambled a bit...let's get to this Halloween layout.

For this layout, I used DCWV inc.'s Eek-a-Boo 6x6 stack. I really love this collection and am glad that I bought two of the 6x6 stacks last year. Normally, I don't layer my card stocks and patterned papers, but I decided to try to step out of my comfort zone. I love how it came out. 

There was a sheet in the Eek-a-Boo stack that had cut apart cards. I cut the cards and adhered them to the top and bottom of the layout. I tried to not have a lot of white space, but I wanted the cards close together. These pictures really don't do the layout justice. The layout really looks awesome and the Eek-a-Boo papers are so cute!

I also added some journaling at the bottom of the layout. I thought about adding some enamel dots, but decided that the papers would be enough. I think there's enough color, phrases, and journaling for this layout that nothing else is really needed.

Supplies Used:

• DCWV inc. Eek-a-Boo 6x6 stack

• Tombow Xtreme Adhesive

*Edited to add: This layout was also my take on The Awesome Ladies Project 1.2 challenge. This challenge was a recipe challenge. The ingredients are: Orange, Two Patterns, Squares, and something sticky. I used orange papers, several patterns, a few squares, and my Tombow Adhesive was the only thing sticky that I used. You can find out more about The Awesome Ladies Project here.

Are you working on any Halloween projects?

Until next time...

Set Sail Card

Happy Saturday! Today's post is a little late in the day, but I was busy with errands and had a few to dos to get done. Once I was done with all of that, I was able to get some crafting done.

I bought the DCWV Seaside Yacht 12x12 paper stack a while ago, but never really had the chance to do anything with it. I love the papers that have the cards that you can cut apart and knew that I would eventually use those first. I love that you can leave them as they are or you can decorate them. I decided to decorate my favorite card that was in the stack which is the one that says "Set Sail".

I love how the card turned out. I think the red enamel dots adds a pop of color and the sail boats are so cute! I focused mainly at the corners of the card since the words were so big. This card was really easy to decorate which was what I was going for. Now I have to decide whether to use it in my Project Life album or just adhere it to a folded card and use it as a greeting card. I plan to decorate the rest of the cards from the Seaside Yacht pack as well as go with similar embellishments as well.

Supplies:

• Recollections Craft It Valentine-Enamel Dots
• Studio Calico Wood Veneers
• DCWV Seaside Yacht cut apart card (Set Sail card)
• Tombow Xtreme Adhesive

How is your weekend going? What have you made this week? Feel free to share in the comments section.

DCWV Vintage Card

Hello there! Remember when I posted about the DCWV Vintage Mini Album that I made a few days ago? Well, I also made a card as well.

Supplies Used:

• Recollections white card (base)

• DCWV Vintage cardstock

• DCWV overlay hearts

• DCWV cardstock stickers

I really like the Vintage Collector and I am so glad that I still have a bunch of the collection left. I could probably make another mini album (or two), lots of cards and even use some of the collection in my Project Life album. I also like that I can use this collection to make Valentine, love, etc. type projects, but I love that there are lots of things that I can use in this collection that is not too "Valentine-y". For instance, I made a vision board for one of the One Little Word prompts using this collection. 

What have you been creating lately? What do you think of DCWV's Vintage Collector?

DCWV EEK-A-BOO Card

Hello everyone! So as you know, I LOVE Halloween! It's my favorite holiday and I love making crafts, cards, layouts, etc. so much more during this time of the year. Today I want to share a card that I made using DCWV Eek-a-Boo stack. I seriously love this collection and I have to go back to Jo-Ann and get some more of the collection.

I've been in love with incorporating circles and grids in my cards and layouts and decided to make a card using circles.


Supplies and Tools Used:

• 1 inch circle punch
• DCWV Eek-a-Boo Stack
• Elmer's Glue Dot Runner
• Elmer's Craft Bond Foam Mounting Circles
• Scissors

How cute are those ghost and pumpkins? The colors are just amazing! I need to make some more cards and layouts with this collection. I also plan to use some of this collection in my art journal.

What have you been creating lately? What do you think of DCWV's Eek-a-Boo collection?

DCWV Vintage Mini Album

What do you do when you have almost an entire collection of scrapbooking goodies that you haven't even touched?

Now I know that a lot of people would probably get to work immediately and create lots of different things, but I honestly had no idea what to make with the whole collection. I mean...I knew that I could make a mini album or two, some cards, and layouts, but I just didn't know what to make first. Plus, this was one of the first scrapbooking collections that I bought so I just thought that I should use it for the perfect project.

So the time finally came to create something. What did I create? A mini album!

Materials Used:

• Vintage Collector Buttons
• Vintage Collector Acetate Overlay Hearts
• Vintage Collector Cardstock Stickers
• Vintage Collector Printed Cardstock 
• Vintage Collector Chipboard Bingo Cards
• Vintage Collector Cards & Envelopes (just the card)
• Vintage Collector Envelope
• Vintage Collector Chipboard Frames

Here is my cover:

Here are my pages:

 I love that the card opens up so that I can add extra pictures or journaling inside!

I love that envelope! Just like the card that I used in my album, I love adding envelopes so that I can hold items like movie tickets, small notes, etc. 

I can't wait to fill this album up!

Until next time...
