Scaredy Cat and August SOTM: What a Hoot

Popping in with a quick post to show off some more Scaredy Cat paper and the August Stamp of the Month (S1408 What a Hoot).  I have to give credit for the cute paper bag craft to fellow consultant, Aaron Brown.  She is super talented and I just loved this idea.  I did change up the owl stamping from her original and the sequin eyes...but the rest is pretty similar.  Check out the close up of the eyes.  Fun, huh!?  I put black bitty sparkles in the center.

 

 

 

I used the new ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ to color in the owl and the hat.  I am really loving these new markers and hopefully my customers will too. :)  I hope you enjoy these fun Halloween crafts.  Thanks for stopping by!

Scaredy Cat: Halloween

My kids and I are big fans of Halloween.  What's not to love?  Dressing up, parties, and don't forget the candy!!  I am also a fan of anything vintage.  This new Scaredy Cat paper has a focal paper that screams Vintage.  When I saw it, I knew I had to have it...and hopefully make a lot of artwork with it! :)  I also used one of our new ShinHan™ Touch Twin™ alcohol-based marker to fill in the stamped Halloween title.  Okay...I am learning.  I need to practice a bit more, but I love the look and feel of these new markers.  I am definitely sold!  I hope you enjoy this layout.  Thanks for stopping by!

Timberline: Picture Perfect Day

Hello there!!  I am finally popping in today with something to post!  I often go through spurts of posting.  I really don't mean to go so long between posts, but sometimes I just don't get around to making some artwork.  I wish I could hang out in my craft room all the time, but it just ain't possible.  Darn it, anyway! ;)

My dear friend and fellow scrapbooker is having a birthday this week.  I thought instead of running out and buying something, I would make her a fun layout to use.  She is really ambitious and does two of the same layout for each of her boys' albums.  So...I made two of this very boy layout for her.  I have already given her the layouts, so now I can post it here without spoiling the surprise. ;)
