Party Animal!

Meet my new friend Reynaldo the Party Animal:-)
I used the CTMH Party Animal stamp set and the new Art Philosophy Cricut Catridge to make this super cute Halloween Party invite. I was inspired by the CTMH Autumn/Winter idea book where this stamp set was featured. Most of the effort was in cutting and also in coloring Reynaldo. Isn’t he cute?

My Other Passion

99% of my pages are done of my family. Very rarely do I scrap about just myself. I have thought about it but am usually just trying to stay “caught up” with family events, holidays, birthday’s etc.. I saw a layout similar to this in Creative Keepsakes and it inspired me to scrap a layout about my other passion….reading! I love to read, I love books and I love fellow readers!

On the page I wrote “I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember. I fall in love with the characters in the books I choose to read. When the book ends I find myself missing the characters. I even find myself thinking fondly of them….even years later.”

One must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower–Hans Christian Andersen


Close to my Heart Cricut Art – my first try at making flowers with CTMH’s new cricut cartridge called Cricut Art. I decorated the top of a box with these flowers and embossed the words “one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower” by Hans Christian Andersen.
My embossing needs some practice – but how ‘bout them flowers?? Smile I gave my little guy Jayson the box and he has already filled it with some of his little treasures ;).

More Autumn Fun

Autumn is my favorite season to scrap – probably cuz it’s the best season…ever! I love the colors, the holidays and the events that happen in the fall. As I work towards finishing up my 2010 pages I am really enjoying scrapping these pages. Tonight I worked on Halloween. The kids just love Halloween… with the costumes and candy, its definitely a kid favorite!

My Jack O’Lanterns page is my favorite of the evening. I handmade the title and had so much fun doing it. First, I cut the pumpkins with the Cricut using the “Stretch Your Imaginations” cartridge. Then using the watercolor brush and Seafoam stamp I colored the leaves and stem on the pumpkins. Once those dried I distressed the border of each pumpkin with black ink. Then using colors Pansy Purple and Orange I stamped the letters onto the pumpkins. So much fun and I love the way it turned out!!

My next layout was of Trick or Treat night and the neighborhood kids dressed up in their costumes! So Fun! This page was simply paper and stickers. I did stamp the year “2010” but other than that this was a quick and easy (and cute!!) page Smile
