Playing in the Studio ~

Had some family visit today & my grandson wanted to do some crafts.

He has his own station in the studio, so out came the ink & stamps, pipe cleaners & paper... he eyeballed my punches so out they came too... needless to say he made some jewellery for my daughter with pipe cleaners & punches!

I created 2 simple cards for the girls Birthdays ~ using old paper from before my CTMH days...

And Sarah got creative with empty ribbon spools & a strofoam wreath I had hanging around in the studio

Here are a few Cards I have made in the past ~ I really need some studio time!

Did some stamping, then some shopping & out for an early supper & back to creating...

Here is what I did...

 Looking forward to taking the Grands to a Pumpkin patch to get some awesome Pictures!

Love this Stamp set ~ Used it for 2 different cards ~ this one...

And this one ~ Just did some fussy cutting!

 Love making Pleated Paper to add as a border ~ Leaves Were stamped, Fussy cut & then colored using Sponges & Ink ~ and of Course I could not forget to add some Bling!

Another favorite Retired Stamp Set... LOVE!

All Paper and embellishments are from the Current 

Close to My Heart Annual Inspiration book 2014-2015

 (I forgot to pack current stamps as I took the bag of goodies I had at My Mom's while making Thank you cards for Homesteader Days)

My daughter came for a visit & we did some creating ~ She used paper from my Stash & I used the current paper from the  Annual Catalogue

Here is how we put it together:

BOO Wall Hanging

 Start off with three small canvases (we got ours at the dollar Store)
Ink the edges in Black Ink ~ Let dry...

WARNING: this is a messy process... you may want to wear gloves!

Next, cut your Scaredy Cat B&T paper to fit top of canvas.

Ink the edges of paper with a Sponge Daubber  ~ we used black ink.

Glue Paper to front of canvas using Bonding Memories Glue

Cut out Letters from Philosophy Cartridge and Chalk it up black With Stars B&T paper and attache to canvas using Foam Tape.

Stamped with  Halloween Stamp set & spooky images Images from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge

Use Ribbon & staple to back for hanging and 2 pieces to join the frame to hang.

Now hang onto your wall or interior door to greet little Ghouls on Halloween!

Thanks Framed Pumpkin

Using a dollar store wooden frame we have used B&T paper for the background

then matted a smaller piece of B&T on Black Cardstock

Cut 4 Scalloped Circles, fold in half & glue together all except last

Using Pear Cardstock cut a small strip & roll a stem, free hand cut a couple leaves

Use a Marker to add veins & lines on the Stem

Ink edges with Olive Ink

Glue to mini matt

Glimmer trim on inside edge of frame

Look for our next Blog Hop where we will feature beautiful Christmas projects, 

see you soon!

So Grateful for you
