Scrapping up a storm...

My crafty muse, or inspiration comes and goes in spurts. I may be inspiired one night and scrap 5-8 pages. Then, I could without inspiration for weeks-when my kids were really small, I went without scrapping for a few months at time (for some reason I never stopped buying supplies,though-I think I enjoy shopping as much as I enjoy scrapping). But, 2 nights ago, I was inspired. I just started scrapping, and didn't stop until I realized it was 11:30, and I had to get up before 5...But it was so worth the lack of sleep! I love a great, productive evening like that, where I don't have to force it, it just sort of flows out! So, all that being said, here is what I made(all supplies from my March Counterfeit Kit):

You Are My Sunshine layout:

I used the back side of one of my Sassafrass Lass sheets (one of the best things about that company is that both sides of the sheet of paper are equally beautiful!), a white paper doily, Sassafrass Lass photo corners from the cardstock sticker sheet, a chipboard flower and doily, all from my Sunny Clearing kit. I also used a chipboard title, orange cardstock (for the photo mat), and a small orange journaling spot from my Main kit, and another KI Memories chipboard doily and a gem from my Babbling Brook kit.

My Little Punkin' layout:

This layout was made with mostly my Main Kit: Orange patterned paper from Pink Paislee, Dark brown cardstock, ruffled brown ribbon, Making Memories journaling spot, and flourished heart shaped Daisy D's journaling sticker, my homemade "fabrips", and some buttons, flower gems, and Cosmo Cricket Tiny Type stickers for the title from my Mossy Knoll add-on.

Yum layout:

I made this layout with Sassafrass Lass paper, Yellow scalloped circle cardstock, Thickers puffy alpha stickers, yellow ric rac, and one of my homemade clips from my Sunny Clearing add on. I also added orange cardstock, a Making Memories journaling spot, and twine from my Main kit, and made an ice cream cone with paper scraps, my Cricut, Indie Art cartridge, and Glossy Accents, and added memorabilia from the chocolate/ice cream shop.

Halloween with Lindsay's Stamp Stuff (and the Cricut)

It's a Halloween "Spooktacular" with us at Lindsay's Stamp Stuff this week! I made this cool Halloween centerpiece- out of an old ice cream tub! I saved it, washed it out, and stuffed it full of crumpled newspaper, then spray painted it black with some extremely cheap (less than a dollar) black spray paint, and streaked a little white through the newspaper for a more spooky, dimensional look. I colored and hand cut The Haunted House digistamp and a Cute Witch digistamp, both from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff,the Cute Halloween Set ,and then I used my Cricut and the Paper Doll Dress Up cart to cut the Spooky Trees, Black Cat, Spiderweb, and the Adorable ghost that is peeking out from behind the Haunted House. I layered a couple of ribbons, and added some Harry the Spider digistamps(also in this set) that I colored and flocked the legs, and also some silver glitter Lightning Bolt cuts from the Indie Art cartridge.
Here's a peek at the super cool stuff Lindsay has added to the shop this week:

Spooky Crows Halloween Set (sooo cool)-these would look so great on those Halloween/Twilight pages and cards):

A Card for my Hubby...

Yesterday was my husband 37th Birthday (Happy Birthday, Honey!), and this is the card that I made for him. I stamped Stampabilities "Royal Flush" stamp with Ladybug Red Momento Ink, and Tuxedo Black on white cardstock, and then sprayed with a clear acrylic HiShine Glaze. I took a white card base, and punched the edge with my Martha Stewart Simple Scallop Punch. Then I used DTP (Direct To Paper) inking with the Tuxedo Black. I added the word "Lucky!" cut out from Indie Art Cartridge at 1", and also the shadow of the same cut. On the inside, I wrote "Lucky me, that is..." .
Oh, and I did this by candlelight! The power was out for 3+ hours, so I did the best I could with what I had..."Lucky" I had already cut out the sentiment, huh?

A Card for my Mommy!

I don't care how old I get, she'll always be my Mommy! Anyway, I just thought I would quickly show you all the card I made for my mom for Mother's Day (took me all night Saturday-nothing like the last minute, huh?). I got the idea for this card from the flowerpot cards on Splitcoast Stampers, and did my own twist on it. I used a variety of flowers and vines, some from cartridges, some were svg files.I inked the edges of the flowers, layered, and pop-dotted some of the flowers for dimension. Thanks for looking!

Rockin' Birthday Card

Well, I've been doing girly stuff this week, so I enjoyed the switch to make a birthday card for one of my son's friends, who had a birthday party today. The card is cut from the DCWV Rock Star Stack, and I cut the guitar and rock star flaming banner from Indie Art cartridge. The music notes paper is from a huge stack of Love, Elsie papers I got at HL last year, and I cut the label shape using an svg freebie called NoteCuts from http://shortcuts.sheetloadofcards.net/.
