This is a one day blog hop and appreciate you leaving a comment to encourage these talented ladies to continue sharing their ideas and creations. We're so excited to be doing this hop to share with you projects from some very talented ladies. We also are taking this time to remind you to check out our newest website: Creative Kuts Monthly Kit Klub at http://www.creativekutsmkk.com/. Here we offer you quick layout kits which will include all the paper and paper pieces needed to create some adorable layouts.

And now for my project:

 

I chose to create a double page layout featuring a StorytellersClub Kit and the super cute file from Creative Kuts called "Hangen in the Patch". You can purchase this file for $5.00 HERE.

 



I wanted to show you how easily the Creative Kuts files can be incorporated into existing kits you may own. It added just the right amount of fun and color to this festive Pumpkin Kit. Don't you agree? It's like they were meant to be together!!

 





This layout also gave me an opportunity to play with my new Border Maker Tool from Creative Memories. This tool is awesome and has several different punches. I decided to use the Rustic Fence Punch.

 



I love the dimension and colors of this darling scarecrow! I used pop dots to bring and the leaves to life! 

Supplies I used to create this layout:

StorytellersClub Kit

Hangen in the Patch File

Bazzill

Cardstock

Ribbon

pop dots

Copics

Tim Holtz distressing ink

Timeless Twine

 

I will be entering this layout in the following:

UnBOOlieveable Blog Hop

Welcome to the UnBOOlieveable Blog Hop!

  

If you came here from PAULA. then you are on the right track! If you happen to stumble upon this hop you can begin hopping at our host http://honeybearzdesigns2011.blogspot.com/

 

My projects today are an 8.5 x 11 layout and an adorable Witch's Boot.
 

 

Let's talk about my layout first. This is actually going in to a 2013 Calendar that my group of swappers is creating. We all signed up for a month (or 2 or 3) and however many months we picked, that is how many calendars we will get. The finished project is spiral bound and includes the actual calendar. Makes such a cool gift for Christmas.

 

I make the mat to fit a 4x6 photo. I cut the title with my Cricut and the Happy Hauntings Cartridge at 1.25 inches.

The spider web and spider were cut with my revolution using the Sizzix Bigz Die - Spider & Spiderweb 3-D. This web is awesome!!

 



 

Here you can see how the pop dots made certain things stand out!

 

 

Now my witch's boot came from an SVG file sold by Creative Kuts.

It was super easy to make, it's all one piece.

 

 

Add your favorite embellies and candy to this and you have the perfect party favor!!

I am entering this layout in the FCCB Challenge #134 use Black and Orange.

 

I hope that you have enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you. I love receiving comments and new followers. It means so much to me! So please feel free to drop me a note and follow my blog for more inspiration, giveaways, and tips.

Altered Journal Blog Hop

 

 

Welcome to our Altered Journal Blog Hop! If you came here from Robin C. then you are on the right track! If you happen to stumble upon this hop you can begin hopping at our host Pinkpolkadotscrapping.blogspot.com.

 

Our fabulous hop is being sponsored by the wonderful

Zannie Berry



She has graciously donated 2 Cuttlebug Folders to be given to one lucky winner.

All you have to do to enter to win is become a follower of each and every blog and leave everyone a message about their journal. Easy Peasy!! Right?

 

 

Now on to my Journal...

What a Hoot!! 



This StorytellersClub kit was perfect to use for a cutsie journal! Afterall isn't everyone's life a Hoot?

 

And you know I couldn't resist adding an Action Wobble to my little owl in the circle. Something about an Action Wobble that brings everything to life!! Watch my video below!!

 

I finished off the back with more of  this ST kit and added some fun Twine from Timeless Twine and it's ready for it's new home.

 

I myself have never really been into journaling. Maybe it's because I had 3 younger sisters who were constantly in my stuff. Maybe it is because my dad was super strict and no fun. LOL! I am not sure.

 

In a way I am kind of bummed because it would be really cool to go back and see what I would have written about the first boyfriend, the first dance I went to, the first kiss. You know all the momorable moments of being a young teenage girl. I do keep a scrapbooking journal right now. This is where I jot down my recipes for layouts and kits that I create. It's also where I keep a listing in chronological order of photos I need to crop.

 

If I were to write on the first page of this altered journal I think I would jot down my fun memories of being a MOM. Something I never want to forget. All the fun things we have done as well as all the fun conversations we have had! It would be cool to show my grand kids some day! Did I inspire you to start your own? I hope so because memories are worth keeping!!

 

Your next stop is Robin S.

Prince of Darkness

Hi scrappy friends, Connie with Connie Can Crop here to share a cute yet spooky Creative Kuts file!!

Meet Norman's younger brother. Isn't he a doll?

 

Once again I decided to use paper I have had for years. It's Cloud 9 Specialty Paper and looks so much better in person because of all the glittery accents. Hopefully you get an idea of how pretty it is.

I cut the title on the first page using glitter paper. My little vampire and his casket along with the title are all part of the cute file "Prince of Darkness" at Creative Kuts. This file also includes a big full moon but I didn't use it because this purple paper already had a big golden moon.

 



 

I am in love with these little bat critters! They came from EK Success. Love they are all purple and blingy! And my Haunted House is part of this awesome purple paper too! Fits right in with Dracula!!

 

 This layout is available in my ebay store. Please feel free to come check it out along with all of my other layouts and projects.

Items used to Create this layout:

Cloud 9 Designs patterned paper

bazzill and cardstock

ribbon and green bling from my stash

Pop Dots

 

Timeless Twine

 

Bat stickers from EK Success

 

Tim Holtz Distressing Inks

I am excited to be entering this layout in:

A Homespun Affair Color Challenge

 

Timeless Twine Challenge October Spooktacular

 

I hope that you have enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed sharing it with you. I love receiving comments and new followers. It means so much to me! So please feel free to drop me a note and follow my blog for more inspiration, giveaways, and tips.

BAP #38 Bat Card

What is a BAP? It's a free file that you can request from CK every Monday. The only catch is you have to create it and upload it by Sunday.

This week we were given this adorable card file to cut and decorate!

 

 I love bat shaped card!! What a cute design! You can also purchase it as a candy favor box. So fun!

 



 

The title "BOO" is part of the file. I inked it and layered it so it would stand out on the front wing.

The sparkly spider web is also part of the file. I cut it with my Cricut on glitter paper and I really like the effect.

 

My eyes were also cut on glitter paper and those cute little cobwebs and spiders are actually stickers that pop from EK Success. I love the google eyes!

 



 

And finally I love this stamp set! It's from Bug Bites and the set is called All Year Round. It has cute sentiments for every occasion! And Wicked Best Witches...c'mon that is fun!

 

This file wascut with a SVG file that can be purchased at Creative Kuts!

If you don't have a machine that can cut SVG files there are other formats available as well as patterns where you can cut them out by hand.
