Today is a blog hop with
Scrapbookaholic by Abby and the Design Team. If you stopped by to see what was happening with me today I would like to encourage you to go the
Scrapbookaholic by Abby and join us in the hop, if you came here from Sandra of
365 Days of Cricut than you are going in the right direction for the hop.
I scrapped a layout of my little grand-daughter Annie playing in the sand at the ocean while we were visiting our sons that live in Florida. As you can see we definitely were not dress for the beach since this was taken at Thanksgiving. It was 45 here in Memphis at the time and 90 degrees there.
First, I cut a piece of GCD Studios Georgia paper to measure 9 1/2" x 9 1/2" and glued it to the Peggy Sue paper. Cut 1 strip from Frances and 1 strip from Georgia papers to measure 3/4" x 9 1/2" and 1 strip of the Georgia paper to measure 1" x 9 1/2". Take one piece of the Georgia paper and your EK Swiss Cheese punch and punch across strip of paper. Layer and adhere the Frances, Georgia and Tara papers to the Peggy Sue paper. Once they are glued on I sewed them with my sewing machine.
I then took the "LIVE" card from Jenni Bowlin Bingo Card set and inked it with Tim Holtz Broken China, Tea Dye, and Aged Mohongany Distressed inks. Glue it to the bottom of the lowest strip of paper. I radomly placed my Creative Imaginations epoxy stickers on and near my bingo card.
I added two Chantilly Charms to my page, one I glue to the page the other I placed on with a pop dot. I placed an antique brad in the center of each before I put them on the page. I also used 4 antique brads on each corner of Annies photo. The photo at the top of the layout is double matted with the Georgia paper.
I hope you continue on the hop by next visiting Michelle of
Scrappin With My Bug and continuing through out the hop. I am sure you will find lots of fun ideas, projects, tutorials and I am sure some blog candy along the way.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today, not sure if you have stopped by to see what I was up to or if you are doing the 13 Days of Halloween Blog Hop, hard to believe it is day 3 already. If you are doing the hop then you are heading in the right direction if you came from Lisa's Scrapping with Lisa.
Today I made a great Halloween Gift Bag for my special Trick or Treaters. I used Bella Blvd Too Cute to Spook Cute Cuts, Quadrants, and Jack A Glow papers along with the Creative Imagination Gift Bag. I inked all of my pieces with Memento Tuxedo Ink and layered them on my bag. I did add a few staples from my Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher. I also fussy cut out my "One Eyed Girl" and bat and placed them on my bag. I placed Glossy Accent on my spiders to give them some extra dimension.
After I got my gift bag designed I added a beautiful ribbon at the top and my bat acts as the closure because I placed pop dots on it and the pop dots on the left wing holds the flap down. I thought it was a clever way to keep the bag closed. I am so glad you took the time to hop with us for day three and would love if you come by again tomorrow but for now please head on over to the talented Janet's Create Believe Imagine at Dreams Scrapbooks.
