Monster Mash Blog Hop!

Hello everyone! I am soooo excited to be taking part in my first ever blog hop! If you have come to me from Janis' blog then you are in the right place! If not and you would like to start the blog from the beginning visit Jenny over Crazy about Cricut and she'll get you started. I have a special project I made just for the hop. I hope you all like it! It's a wall hanging, perfect for Halloween. I designed this all on my gypsy using Storybook for the scallop squares, Mini Monsters for the monsters and pumpkin and Plantin Schoolbook for the squares and letters, the ghost is from Everyday Paper Dolls. I also used my Big Shot to emboss a few of the squares and added some Stickles where I felt a little sparkle was needed, LOL!

Ingredients:

Cricut Cartridges: Storybook, Mini Monsters, Plantin Schoolbook, Everyday Paper Dolls

Paper: Stampin UP! Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Rich Razzlebery, Whisper White, and Old Olive

Stamps: PKS Everyday Faces and Pumpkin Face Parts

Throwback Thursday

Today Emma over at My Creative Time released her latest Throwback Thursday challenge. The challenge was to make a "shape" card and use some orange in the card. Since I have a special birthday coming up this weekend for a little four year old princess I thought it would be fun to use my newest cart, Disney Happily Ever After, and create a real princess birthday card using my gypsy. Hope you like it!

Minnie Mouse Halloween

Today I finished a layout I had been thinking about for a while and finally cut out. I designed this all on my gypsy and got the idea from this months Creating Keepsakes magazine. I love how it came out so I thought I would post. I cut the scalloped border from Plantin Schoolbook, the Minnie Mouse and the Minnie Mouse wording from Mickey and Friends and the Halloween and the Mickey frame from Mickey font. I also searched high and low for some ed and white polka dot paper, after finally giving up on finding some I created my own! (how creative of me right?LOL!) I have an old SU polka dot stamp that worked well to create the dots on my red paper.

Supplies Used:

Stamps: Stampin UP! Polk Dot (retired)

Ink: Stampin UP! White Craft

Paper: Stampin UP! Basic Black, Whisper White, Green Galore (retired), Sahara Sand, the red, cream and the pink are out of my scraps
