Goose Bumps Blog Hop :)

Welcome to the Goosebumps Blog Hop on October 20 from 9 am to 11 pm CST.  

Thank you for joining us to help us celebrate Halloween. I love all things about Halloween.  So I decided to participate in this fun celebration with some of the most talented crafters that I know.

There are a few rules for this hop however, in support of each crafter and the time they have put into their work, to be eligible for the "Grand Prize" you MUST visit each blog and leave a comment for each day of the blog hop and also become a follower of Lisa's blog,and her dt blog at http://scrappingwithlisadesignsdt.blogspot.com/.  The blog candy is $25 in free files over at http://scrappingwithlisadesigns.com/

.  She is also giving out a file of $3 value to each person that hops. To get this file, please choose what you would like and then send her an email to ljopeters62@yahoo.com and she will send your file right out to you.

If you have started on Lisa's blog then you’re on the right track. This hop runs all day on Oct. 20, so you have plenty of time to make it all the way through the hop. Check out each blog and see what each blog has to offer for BLOG CANDY!  After all it's Halloween and who doesn't like a little candy on Halloween!

Now on to the inspiration!  I have actually made four separate Halloween pages for you today!  For Each one I used all of the same supplies, showing you JUST how easy it is to make several different projects using minimal supplies :)  For each of these pages I used CTMH Enchantment Paper (retired) and if you like this paper you will LOVE Moonlight!  I also used the CTMH Wicked Stamp Set (limited edition) and a new found favorite that I hope CTMH will supply soon.....spiderweb washi tape!  I had never used this stuff before, and NOW i am hooked!  It is a must have for all scrap rooms!

I would love to hear which one of these is your fave!    

Did some body say TRICK or TREAT?  Not yet?  Well you will want to!  For everyone who becomes a follower here and on my facebook fan page and yells Trick or Treat on my fanpage, I will be sending a gift!  Get it?  I get a giggle, and YOU get a gift! :)

We Are Nuts 4 Fall!!!! Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Nuts 4 Fall Blog Hop.  

 Make sure you read ALL the way to the bottom :)  Some great surprises for you today!  

Today we are celebrating all things fall and We have an amazing lineup for this hop.

For my project today, I have a couple of things for you :)  I have been out of commission for just a little while so I guess you could say I am trying to make up for that ;) Not to mention the fact that I find the autumn colors to be so incredibly inspiring that its really easy to get my project on!!!

I made this card and the layout with a CTMH paper packet that is already retired......I can't retire it until every scrap is gone though because I just LOVE these colors!  Don't YOU?  You can find other papers like these on my website Mickie's Little Scrap Corner 

I'm sure it goes with out saying that I cut my letters with my cricut :) and the only embelly I used on this fun little card is twine :)  Yep that is it.....just twine :)  This card looks nice but is very quick and easy!

 

Now for your viewing pleasure......drum roll please......project number 2 :)

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!

 EVERYBODY IS WINNING STUFF TODAY!!!!  

Now for my blog Candy..............And YES I do have some :)  I will hold a drawing sunday evening for some fun fall and halloween goodies :)   In order to be eligible you have to be a follower here, and on my facebook page :) and post on my page.....

Happy Last Day of School!

For those of you who feel like you are beginning to notice some kind of theme going on here at the scrap corner.......well, LOL that is because you are!

It is my little guys last week of his very first year of school so we are partying it up around here!  For those of you just now checking in...........We've had teacher appreciation, thinking of you, and now Happy Last Day Of School Treats!!!

I loved ...LOVED ... making these awesome little jewels with my little one!  And if you chose to make these......I would definately include your kids!  SOOOO much fun!

These did take a little time so that you could really get all the details but so much fun that it didn't even matter!  And I can almost bet you will likely be the only parent bringing such fun treats for the kids!

Recipe:

3 1/2 x 4 1/2 yellow card stock

3 1/2 x 1/2 pink card stock

1" circles in pink card stock

Pinking shears

adhesive

and hersheys kisses

Take your Yellow card stock and trim one of the shorter edges with your shears....this is going to give your  pencil that just sharpened look :) Then in the middle of one side write .... HAPPY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!   

Line your kisses up inside in the middle.  Use one for the lead, and a flat side for the eraser end...the rest of them it doesn't matter how they go...........I used six for each pencil that I made :)

Wrap them up and secure with tape.............I used my scrapper tape, but I found it needed something a little more secure to hold it together!

Attatch a pink circle to the end and wrap a pink strip around it to form the eraser

I used the computer to type on white stock.....your friend.........and cut them out into small squares and matted those with a coordinating paper. 

Finally tie your little name tags on the eraser end with a coordinating ribbon......in my case I chose to coordinate my ribbon with my writing :)

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and have fun creating these little guys!

XOXO



Have a friend that is Blue? Try sending an I'm thinking of You!

Any time that I have a friend that is down.......I just can't help trying to cheer them up!

Today I made this adorable thinking of you card for just such a purpose!

I used papers from Sophia, which is discontinued now..........but you can find other papers similar Here

I started with white cardstock base and then added my scraps.................I actually printed out the thinking of you on my computer before I began my project..........

I did the final horizontal trim with CTMH borders and butterflys from the my acrilyx stamp sets....... I put a cute little daisy white embroidery thread and a little pink bling bling!  Hope you like it!

Let me know what you think! 

XOXO

Teacher Appreciations!!!

School Days School Days Good old golden Rule Days!

If you have kids then you realize how important those wonderful teachers are that help to shape their minds........

And at this time of year as the school year comes to a close how great is it to show your appreciation to them?

My project today is a teacher appreciation gift that any one can make!

It is so simple and yet so cute!

This little cutie was made with basic card stock :) No special paper packets here!  I chose planting a seed, but you could use a variety of sayings.............."helping me grow", "giving me a good start"......anything plant related would be cute!

Now my favorite part of this little guy is the chalk board!  This also can be made with cardstock......and for the writing....I went out side of the box and used a white out pen!  It gave me exactly the look that I was after!! 

Add a few embellishments.....in my case, your abc's and 123's, and an apple for the teacher........

And you're ready to let that special teacher in your life know how much you appreciate all she has done for your little  ones!

Hope you liked it......I would love to hear what ideas you walked away with!

XOXO
