SCARY SCARY SCRAPAGANZA FUN!

I want to send a BIG Thank You out to all of the wonderful ladies who came and played with me at Scary Scrapaganza!!!  We had the most fun!

During the event EVERYONE did 3 projects!  Fun! But tiring! LOL............We did a 2 page halloween layout and 2 halloween cards!  Scary!  

Some of our ladies were first timers so we started out with some fun introductions including our favorite thing to scrap hoard :)  Of course we all know my favorite thing to scrap hoard is the CTMH paper packs..........EVEN if I don't love them...I think I have to have them....LOL.......and I think that is because CTMH retires them all eventually so I feel more pressure to get  them before they are gone! LOL

All of the ladies received a kit that included everything that they needed to complete the projects below.......they also found in their goodies; an idea book and a gift from me :)  For our newbies they had a hand crafted personalized check book cover which I like to give to everyone.  The rest of the ladies recieved a package of chipboard pieces.

So these ADORABLE little bats where the inspiration for the layouts for Scary Scrapaganza!  How cute are they?  I made these super cute paper piecings for everyone from patterns that I purchased from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs......you can find some of the cutest ones there!

The paper was from the Hooligans paper pack which is now retired but you can find more like it HERE!  And the ribbon was CTMH ribbon rounds :)  And that is it :) On mine I kept embellishments to a minimum because I wanted those adorable little bats to be the main attraction :)

So all of the girls got to work recreating a layout similar to this........but with their own flair and personality!  And they came up with some darling pages!

Everyone was so creative with their layouts!  The all started with the exact same amount of paper and in the same sizes but not one layout looks the same :)  So Cool!

We took little breaks now and then for some pizza and we had a couple of door prize drawings along the way!  Our lucky winners won some christmas goodies!  And  to make the Hostess drawing more interesting everytime I mentioned Halloween the first person to yell Boo received an additional drawing entry!  Our winner got Awesome goodies!  Including a stamp set, clear cards, a sanding kit, and a couple of other little goodies!

The most challenging part of the workshop was definatly the layouts so the cards I had prepared were very simple.

We also found it a bit challenging to say Boo first!  Of course that is what made it fun!  I think we are all looking forward to the surprises of A Christmas Festival of Scraps!  I know I am!

 Both of these cards were so very simple to complete and both took less then 10 minutes!  And yet have quite an impact, don't you think?

And As everyone prepared their cards they still managed to each come out with different looking projects :)  And it was so fun to see what  everyone else came up with!

As our fun day was coming to a close, I was able to get a few pictures of all of the different cards that everyone put together.  On the mummy card they experimented with different inks for distressing.......I think we even had a purple and a green one :)  I found this very exciting because while some of the ladies were pros :),  some of these wonderful ladies had not done much distressing before....so we got to experiment with some different techniques and different tools!  I loved it!  One of my favorite things is distressing so it is so much fun to help others figure out their favorite ways to distress! 


 



 








These adorable mummy cards were so simple!  You take a plain white card and attach a black piece on front about 2 inches wide and then attach your googly eyes.  The white strips (mummy wrap :) ) are each 1.5 inches.  Distress each strip and then simply tack them down leaving the eye's peaking out! :) Easy Peasy!

The little googley eye black cards were even easier......if you are fortunate enough to find the self adhesive eyes - then even better!  I think this card is pretty self expalanitory! LOL

If you didn't get to join us for Scary Scrapaganza, then I hope to see you next month for A Christmas Festival of Scraps!  Hope you enjoyed checking out all of our projects!  Feel free to leave some love!

XOXO

Project Soldier Cards

Sending Cards to our Soldiers

Cards for A Cause

Today I was challenged by Scrapbook Hoarders Anonymous, to create cards for our soldiers.  What a great challenge right?  I was quick to sign up and very eager to get started!  The challenge was actually for Christmas Cards, and although I detoured from the beaten path as I often do, fear not...Christmas Cards I shall make! :) Alas, we create art from the heart from where our inspirations take us to and that's just what I did.  

I have felt lately VERY inspired by all of the rich fall color that surrounds us now here in Missouri and so that is what I ran with :)  I also wanted to get in on a Mojo Monday Challenge (which I am ashamed to say I had never done yet) so I went to them for a little more Inspiration and this Is what I came up with.

I used basic paper for my card base because I wanted specifically the overlapping look that I created here with the scalloped edge.  I used paper from the GRACE collection which is now retired but you can find similar paper on my website HERE

I tied my ribbon around the front of the card and placed over it Half of a dimensional element.  I love these things!  They are white chipboard and you can ink them up to your hearts desire!  Love it! And the final touch was some Sunflower stickers that I just happened to have.......they worked great here I think!

I want to make some cards for soldiers too!

No Problem!  We would love for everyone else to get involved in this fun project!  It boosts moral for our troops, and it's fun too!  Such a good Cause!  Getting involved is EASY and I am even offering a give away for this project!  For every soldier card that you make and post on my facebook page, you will get 1 entry into the Project Soldier Giveaway!  5 cards = 5 entries :) You get the point, right?  The drawing will be for a FREE awesome card making kit!  See the kit and all the details on my giveaway page!

How do I get involved?

Contact me if you want to get involved and I will send you the information on where to send your finished cards.  Then just start making cards!  But don't forget to photograph them and post them on the Little Scrap Corner facebook page so you can have a chance to win an AWESOME card kit!   

XOXO

This layout was inspired by my baby boy who really isn't a baby anymore...lol

 He was born in the fall and I wanted to represent that with his baby pics :)  Again very simple with the embellys!  On these I again used the twine and the only additional pieces were opaques!  I Really love those too!  I would use them on every layout if I could!

Card Shower Challenge !!!

Card Shower Challenge! 

Recently an old friend of mine had surgery.  It was a simple surgery but unfortunately she had some complications that have left her feeling under the weather and in a lot of pain :(  So I decided that I would make her a special card.....knowing that it would not fix everything, but maybe it would bring her a little ray of sunshine on a gloomy day :)

Then I  thought....whats better then one card?  2 Cards!  or 3 Cards......and so this challenge was born! LOL

I challenge all of you to shower her with your hand crafted get well cards!  For every card Sent you will be entered into a drawing for the Grand prize which is a basket of card making goodies!

Also every person who sends at least one card will get a small thank you gift from me! :)

To Enter all you have to do is create your card and post a picture of it on my facebook page!  I will then email you her address so that you can send it to her!  Simple Right?  Plus we will be sending someone an envelope of happiness!

Here is the card that I have made and I am sending out tomorrow!

This little card was giving me a little bit of trouble this morning....I got a creative block and had to have some help from some of you to get through it! LOL  Thanks for that! 

I used paper from the Aspen Level 2 Paper Pack which is actually now retired....but if you like these colors the Wonderland Pack is very similar!  You can find that at

The Little Scrap Corner's CTMH site!

The card is 6 x 3 and is embellished with a paper piecing from Little Scraps of Heaven.  I colored her in with pastels and "Glitzed" up her cloud and the borders with Glitz Gel also available on my website!  Then I finished this little cutie off with some sparkles and we are ready to go!

I  hope some of you decide to enter my shower challenge

 and I can't wait to see what you come up with! 

Until then Have a Happy Scrappy Day!
