Ghostly Greetings -My Craft Spot Project

Boooooo.... it's October and that means getting ready for Halloween!  And today's challenge over at My Craft Spot will get  you thinking about all the fun!  

This weeks challenge...

Boo To You

Make a project with a Halloween theme

For my project I used Kimberly's fun new Halloween stamp set Ghostly Greetings 

 My bow was made using Marmalade crinkle ribbon, Orange Licorice bakers twine, and three tiny prima flowers. Ghostly Greetings stamp set, crinkle ribbon and bakers twine is available at My Craft Spot -HERE.

Close up of the ghost, it was cut using the Paper Doll Dress Up cricut cartridge pg. 49 (I omitted the face using my gypsy, then stamped the fade using the Peachy Keen PK-570 Basic Paper Doll Face assortment.

 The ghost is put on a homemade action wobble, Kimberly has a video of how to make them -HERE.

Monkey for Baby Card -My Craft Spot Project

I'm Wild about you Monkey!

It's Monday and time for another great challenge and it's a wild one over at My Craft Spot!

This weeks challenge is 

Wild About You

Include a wild animal on your project

My husbands niece had a baby boy a few weeks back so I made a tie blanket for him, and a fun matching card to go with. The monkey was a perfect wild animal for the "Wild About You" challenge.

This card is a 6" x 6" size, I used the Create a Critter cricut cartridge for the monkey and the leaves. The monkey and vine was cut at 4 1/2" pg. 46 of the handbook, the leaf on pg. 51 cut at sizes 1", 1 1/4" and 1 1/2" using real dial size.

Side view, I popped up the monkey, so cute!

Close up of the monkey and leaves. I wrinkled up the leaves and then inked them up using Tim Holtz Forest Moss ink pad. The monkey was inked using Vintage Photo ink pad.

I love this little saying "Bundle of Joy"! This is stamped using the Bundle of Joy stamp set from My Craft Spot, it can be purchased -HERE. 

I used my sewing machine and a zig-zag stitch over the tab.

I used one of my die-namics metal dies from My Favorite Things to cut out the tabs to stamp on.

Inside of the card, stamps are from the same stamp set Bundle of Joy from My Craft Spot.

Thank you for stopping by today, and remember to head over to My Craft Spot to see the other "Wild" projects created by Kimberly's fabulous design team, and join us for this weeks challenge... Wild About You!  My Craft Spot -HERE.

I took my daughter back to college this week so I made these fun Fall notebooks for my daughter and each of her roommates, this is the "Fall" semester for them. The notebooks can be used for grocery list, notes to friends or perhaps a little gratitude/thankful list.

I used two of Kimberly's new stamp sets, the Stampin' Around Fall and the Happy Thanksgiving, as well as the new Tiny Doily Metal Dies. All these stamp sets and dies are available for purchase today at My Craft Spot woo-hoo!

The three crinkle ribbon colors that I used are Pumpkin Spice, Carmel and Acorn available at My Craft Shop. I taped them down to my patterned paper then used my sewing machine to sew a zig-zag stitch over each ribbon.

The leaves were cut using Everyday Paper Dolls cricut cartridge pg. 35, I crinkled them up a bit then sponged them using Tim Holtz Antique Photo ink.
I added a button tied with Vintage Chocolate bakers twine on top of the bow, available at My Craft Spot. 

Below are two of the stamped sayings from the Happy Thanksgiving stamp set.

I bought a pack 8 /12" x 11" notepads from an office store and took it to my local copy store and had them cut the pads in the three long equal sizes, it was very inexpensive.
