Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween! Today's shaping up to be a sweet one since I've already eaten a dark chocolate covered marshmallow before 11:00 a.m! Because Christopher doesn't trick or treat anymore, I always buy him a couple candies from Whole Foods and I just had to sample the marshmallows I bought him this morning! ;)

Today at Bella Blvd. we have a Sketch Friday card for you to try and I made mine with the Halloween Magic collection to celebrate the day. 

I love this patterned paper full of kiddos dressed in costume! Bella Blvd. always has the cutest little spooks! Just look at this mummy boy grinning from ear to ear with his pumpkin full of treats! Too too cute! 

Happy Halloween!

Bella Blvd. & Kiwi Lane

I have some special card projects to share with you this Monday. Bella Blvd. has teamed up with Kiwi Lane Designs to bring you a combination of products that are perfect for paper crafting. 

The Kiwi Lane Tiny Accessory Accents and Card Borders are the perfect template sizes for greetings and the flower shapes worked beautifully with all the wood grain prints of Bella Blvd’s new Hello Autumn collection! I combined the three to create this multi-layered Thanksgiving greeting.

I don’t know what it is about stars that I’m so drawn to lately, but I love that Bella Blvd. has so many great star prints in their collections and Kiwi Lane’s Tiny Accessory Accents included a star for accenting this Halloween Magic greeting. It’s perfect for using as-is or topping with another accent as I did here with this adorable Dracula.

Unlimited Inspiration

Woot! It's Bella Blvd's Unlimited Inspiration week where we design team gals get to show off the latest and greatest! I adore the new Halloween Magic Collection and had a ball creating this seriously adorable 'Boo Buddies' card for you.

My favorite thing about this card is that the background paper matches Frank's complexion perfectly! Eek! 

Next up I played with the Hello Autumn collection to come up with this colorful card style.

When a collection has so many gorgeous patterned papers I enjoy creating a design that shows them off. To do this I used a washi die to cut strips for the background. Washi strips would be easy enough to make without a special die. Just cut thin strips of paper and give them jagged edges.

Eek!

I had the opportunity the other day to create my first project with Bella Blvd's Halloween Magic collection and what a wickedly wonderful time I had! So many cool colors, patterns and spooky characters are packed into this line!

It's been a while since I've added googly eyes to a project...this spider was perfect for them! 

I can't believe summer is winding down! We just returned from our annual beach trip, Christopher went back to school today and I have lots of new holiday collections to start creating with. I love this time of year...although I'm really going to miss peaches and watermelon and long daylight hours. ;)
