Haunted Manor

'Tis the season for fall and Halloween projects so I thought it the perfect time to show you a couple never seen cards I made from last year's Haunted Manor line from Doodlebug. 

I'm a Doodlebug addict! I just can't get enough! And if you feel the same, this collection is still available at Scrapbook.com.

Don't forget that you have until this Friday to leave a comment here to be entered in a drawing for the following Pebbles' Basics goodies!

Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Fresh Picked

Hello!

Wow, we've been busy this week which is making the days fly by!

Today I have a Halloween scrapbook page post for you. At Doodlebug Design we are sharing a couple ideas on preserving your pumpkin patch memories using the Haunted Manor collection.

These are our jack-o-lanterns from 2011. Each year Christopher draws the face he wants on paper and I carve it for him. He didn't know that chevron patterns are all the rage, but used one for his pumpkin's mouth. Pretty cool, huh?

I love all the little Haunted Manor tags included on the Cute Cuts sheet.

I'm not so creative when it comes to carving pumpkins. Maybe it's the lack of experience or good tools? I just used a leaf cookie cutter for my design. Simple. Easy.

Have you seen all the new Mini Doodle Pops dimensional stickers? There's a pumpkin above and a little owl and spider below.

Doodle Twine makes for perfect spider strings and webs. :)

So there you have it...a quick and easy, clean design for preserving your Halloween memories.

For the first day this week I don't think I have anywhere to go. No appointments, voting or errands to run. I plan on doing a little crafting and enjoying a quieter day. How about you?

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Decor Giveaway

Hello!

I'm popping in this morning with a quick Halloween share for you. I created this decor piece with one of those unfinished wood frames you can get at your local craft store. It's a small 5" by 5" square frame.

I used Doodlebug Designs 'Haunted Manor' collection to decorate it. 

These two dudes are called Mini Doodle Pops Punkin Pals. Aren't they a hoot?

This spider is another Mini Doodle Pop....called Spidies. Love the names!

To bling things up, I added some of the new Jewels in the Halloween Assortment color pack.

Do you like? Would you like to display this little decor piece in your home? Just leave a comment and I'll pick a winner at random to announce on tomorrow's post.

Thanks for popping in today. Can you believe Halloween is less than a week away?

Four Projects & Giveaway

Hi!

You know the saying, "When it rains, it pours?" Today it's pouring crafty projects on my blog! I have so many goodies to share with you! Perhaps you should grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea, sit back and enjoy! ;)

First up are a couple cards I created with the brand new mid-release from Bella Blvd, called Kiss Me.

I couldn't resist making a mustache on a stick along with some hot pink lips for this card. They’re a mini version of the props so many people enjoy using in photos today.

I love how excited I get when I'm looking over the papers and accents from a new line and my mind goes wild with project and design ideas.

 The play on words on this 'Just Write' sticker is too clever, don't you think?

Next up I arranged a variety of High Five and Ciao Chip alphabets for this card.

Bella Blvd. has so many great alphabets to make titles and sentiments with.

This 'Kiss Me' pennant is actually from the patterned paper border strip.

To see a lot more lovely Kiss Me projects, head over to the Bella Blvd. blog. My two cards are only the tip of the iceberg!

Next up I have a yummy project using Doodlebug Design's Haunted Manor collection.

Eek! This line is seriously adorable! And so colorful!

Doodlebug makes it so easy to create fun projects with all their color coordinated papers and accents.

I love this adorable ghost, don't you? 

For my last project of the day, I have another Halloween card, this one created with a new line from Pebbles, Tricks & Treats.

And guess what?

Would you like to get your hands on this spook-tacular collection?

Just head over to write. click. scrapbook. and leave a comment telling them what your favorite scrapbook trick or treat is.

Whew! That was a long and creative post, wasn't it? Do you have a favorite project of the four? Boy, that's a difficult question. If I had to answer that myself......gee......they were all so much fun to create. I don't know that I could pick one. :)

Well, I hope you enjoyed my lengthy post. Have a wonderful day.

Creepy Bookmarks

Hello!

These are corner style bookmarks made with the new Create-A-Card minis. I have a tutorial over at the Doodlebug blog if you would like to see how simple they are to make.
