Halloween in August at Paper Vineyard!

Hello Everyone!

Sorry for not posting in a while. I was out of town last weekend ( in the much cooler mountains of Payson, Arizona ) and didn't get to participate with the Design Team at Paper Vineyard. I had a great time in Payson and it really got my design juices flowing again. I think I just had to get out of the heat, recharge, and get back to designing again.


Anyway, here is this weeks project for the team. Our assignment (if we wished to accept it!), was to make anything Halloween using We R Memory Keepers Spookville line of products. The print papers and the spider web brad are from this line. Solid paper is from Bazzill. I cut the entire picture frame from the Cricut cartridge Happy Hauntings. I love that cartridge! The rest of the supplies were from my ever-growing stash of supplies!!

Hope you like it. Let me know what you think. Have a great week!

This is also entered in the following challenge:

Bitten By The Bug - Happy Hauntings - Use any frame on the Happy Hauntings cartridge

Magic of Oz for Paper Vineyard

This week, our Paper Vineyard Design Team topic was the Magic of Oz with Graphic 45's new paper line of the same name. I must admit that this one scared me a bit. I just wasn't sure what to make. Well, after searching through my ever growing stash, I found a frame that I had bought at Hobby Lobby a while back. It seemed the perfect base for this project. I didn't have a picture to use in the frame, so I cut the Wicked Witch of the West from one of the papers and put her in the frame. I think it turned out pretty good. I guess I need to step out of my comfort zone more often!

And can you believe it?? 2 weeks in a row and NO Cricut! At least for the design team. I have been working on other projects though. I went to an all day crop on Saturday (Thanks Becky), and a mini book class at Paper Vineyard on Sunday (Thanks Dana). It was a great crafting weekend for me!

Thanks for looking and let me know what you think. Have a great week!!

This weeks project for Craft Junkie Too!

Here is the project I submitted for this weeks entry for the Design Team on Craft Junkie Too's blog. Our "assignment" was to show something we were thankful for. Well, I am thankful for my family. I made this frame and used a picture that was taken last year when my son was visiting Arizona from Wisconsin for his birthday. He had such a good time seeing his sisters. We are a blended family, so we are not able to get everyone together very often. We have one more daughter and granddaughter in Texas and unfortunately, they were not able to make it in to visit with the whole group. One of these days we will get everyone in one spot!

The frame I used was from the $1 bin at Michaels, the leaves were cut from the Cricut Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons Cartridge and the "family" was cut from the Potpourri Basket cartridge. The paper is from Bazzill and the sticker is from K & Company. I put a couple of coats of Mod Podge on the top to protect it.

Hope you all like it. Let me know what you think. I always like to hear the comments of my fellow papercrafters. Talk to you soon! Bye!!
